at what point is "america is a dying empire & will collapse in on its own weight in time" just wishful thinking for a rapture event that makes people actively passive and complacent and channel away efforts from doing things. there is no sign of stopping despite everything

I think Africa's top museums should acquire all treasures from the Louvre, its clear European institutes like this just aren't up to safeguarding European art www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

a bunch of ocs i kidnapped to draw

a wonderful life

a lot of people treat social media as synonymous with the net. of course by design. that isn't good. convenience at the expense of tinkering is what keeps pushing us into the eternal mercy of tech corporations, im afraid. you must sit with the discomfort of the unknown to grow

theres always value in tearing stuff up and tactics in heated revolutionary moments but once again the heart of any movement is the boring and often feminized work of logistics maintenance and information

i'm kind of convinced atp that humankind will not be on the path to freedom until the day cis+heteronormativity is abandoned. until that happens we will have to deal with eternal legal challenges to women, queer+trans ppl, and also 300 articles/yr about "how can we make het sex Erotic again"

As someone said prior, the only reason Greta got released is because people were very loud about her specifically. There are still 8 other flotilla members detained, apparently without fresh water in bedbug infested prison. They all deserve to be fought for, too.

side note: more of this way of discussing events otg. practice describing acts of resistance or even drawing impressions, rather than circulating potentially incriminating video or photos. even visible protestors who didn't do anyhthing risky can get disappeared or "mysteriously" found dead.

activists aboard the Madleen believe their signal was intercepted by Israel and that the IOF is preparing to commit a war crime, but they are not stopping, they're determine to bring food to gaza. none of us have ever been this brave. keep the more eyes on the madleen the better. keep watching.

I know there was a lot going on in American politics today, but I wanted to take a moment to highlight how much I admire the work that Greta Thunberg and the Freedom Flotilla are doing. They're sailing an aid ship across the Mediterranean to Gaza right now, despite lacking Israeli permission.

BlueSky is not a good faith actor in cases of Palestinian accounts.

if you see property destruction at a protest, no you didn't. you didn't see shit. there are no "paid thugs," posts like this are just recruiting you to act as cops and help to terrorize your peers into not fighting back. it's encouraging you to be the fascists eyes and ears.

It's been really gratifying to see everyone being as excited about the site as we are! I do have to ask you all for help though as well (I'm really sorry) — the Patreon income we've gotten from launch is not enough to put much of a dent into our polycule's (kinda dire) financial situation.

:3 I am absolutely drained after months of nonstop workies, but I think in the end it will be worth it

It's time! After 4 years of planning and a few failed starts, and over a year of work on the current iteration, fluff4.me — a website to celebrate writing, authors, and to make things *better* — is finally entering into an open beta! Please give it a try, and if you like it, spread the word! <3

I can't focus on writing so I've been drawing boxes for three days and it's kind of scary how it already feels like I can draw way more things from just that

Fell asleep to ideas for my vampire yuri and when I woke up I had forgotten them Looking forward to remembering them this evening right when I'm about to fall back asleep

Witch Hat Atelier is weirdly both upsetting and motivating for me to read because the author keeps casually putting notoriously difficult subjects into the panels, like elaborate clothes and architectural perspective and hand poses and murals etc

I thought it was neat for about 15 mins but then realized it just answers questions you previously could Google, is often wrong, it is destroying the planet, costs billions of dollars while using stolen training data, and is further isolating us as a species. It is not miraculous or amazing.

Nooo I caught up on a manga I like How could this have happened to me..

Microsoft has disabled the ICC chief prosecutor’s email account. He has also lost access to his email accounts and is threatened with arrest if he enters the United States www.techzine.eu/news/privacy...

I feel like if this sort of thing happened in the absence of AI, the paper would shut down and the journalist responsible would never be able to find work in the industry again. But we can blame computers, so I guess it's fine?

ChatGPT is scary among other things because it gives powerful institutions an easy blueprint to obfuscate lies. It produces inaccuracies so frequently and is so easy to use that making obviously nonsense claims is now assumed to be lazy rather than malicious

I want nobunny but you 🐇💕

I’m probably going to hit 500k words written on LNO this yeah and I’m kinda proud of how far I managed to take this story since I started writing it

so many of my current efforts to improve my art consist in me bumbling about for hours with horrifying sketches until I suddenly remember how to just..do the thing because turns out I studied it years ago and forgot 😖

"NRC spoke to seven renowned genocide researchers about Gaza. They are not nearly as divided as public opinion: without exception, they qualify the Israeli actions as "genocidal." And according to them, almost all their colleagues agree with that." WITHOUT EXCEPTION.

People keep looking for a saviour leader to appear among the candidates you can vote for but just as most successful career politicians lack substance (because looking good without delivering on substance is the optimal career talent) changing the world substantially doesn't come through voting.

Hala has been maliciously reported as Spam, but still needs support

"egg culture (aka saying its okay to be trans and cisness isn't a natural default) is harmful" when they're trying to exterminate trans people from public life is a psyop loads of people are falling for sorry

I hear so rarely from Laila- she is in the North, she lost her husband when he was out getting food and three of her six kids are deaf. She sold her phone for food so she has to borrow to post or sends messages through a friend- help if you can
