Whenever I see something “powered by AI”

REAL COMPASSION? IS NOT EASY. IS NOT JUST FEELING SORRY FOR SOMEONE. WHEN WE HELP OTHERS, WE GIVE TIME! ENERGY! COMPASSION COST SOMETHING! DAT WHY IT MEAN SOMETHING! REAL CARING TAKE EFFORT AND SACRIFICE! BUT WURTH IT! CUZ WHEN YOU HELP CARRY SOMEONE’S BURDEN, YOU BOTH GET STRONGER.

we should have never normalized filming strangers in public and posting them as content

Dude someone in my neighborhood has a TRANS-former car. This is so rad lmao

there is no position more esteemed than that of the one OC that you remake in every video game in a character creator

"When you bring the element of policing into a mental health crisis of any kind, the risks can increase exponentially — even becoming deadly: According to the Washington Post, over a three-year period, police officers shot and “killed the individuals they were called to assist” at least 178 times."

This isn't like the average online petition btw, this is one of those things where if it gets enough signatures, the HOC absolutely must bring it to the floor for discussion. Incredibly important to get on this if you're Canadian.

Canadians! There is a petition to sign to protest Mastercard and Visa's control over the purchase of legal adult content. This is specifically about the Steam & itchio situation, but language protects adult creators. www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en... #nsfw #censorship #canpoli @acvalens.net

The Palestinian-led BDS movement has updated our priority targets, pressure targets and organic campaign targets.

It's my birthday today!! ^^ I'd love some reposts/likes if possible. Maybe I can reach 900 followers as well? Who knows! Either way, I'm excited and feel like it's gonna be a good day 🥰

While defending the luddite argument in Discord, I stumbled into this IMO succinct explanation for opposing generative AI: At every step in the process, it impoverishes us.

Even better? This art was drawn by a nonbinary/transmasc person.

Say what you will about Go-Bots, but Tonka and Hanna-Barbera had the right idea when it came to female characters: "they're fucking toy robots, kids aren't gonna care that some of them are girls".

The Canadian Parliament building illuminated in the colors of the Ukrainian flag in solidarity with Ukraine, commitment to democracy, and as a sign of eternal friendship and unity. Nearly 1.3 million Ukrainians call Canada home. #3E #StandWithUkraine

World Central Kitchen got fired on in Gaza by Israel, had members killed, and went back anyway because people shouldn't have to starve to death. This is an amazing humble bundle.

updated, should work for mississippi block as well

People see art they find gross or that depicts something that is wrong in real life and go nuts saying it's illegal. Bro. Rape and csem aren't illegal because they're gross, they're illegal because they harm people. Art of fictional characters doing gross stuff is not harming people.

~* Magical Cat Robot Girl Lyzack *~ started drawing my favorite catgirl ended up designing a whole magical girl costume, mascot and a fake anime logo just for fun :3 *** #lyzack #transformersvictory #ライザック #トランスフォーマーv #transformers #maccadam #transformersart

Nostalgia is a toxic impulse but also I miss the time when tech trends were things like "let's put everything in a translucent colored plastic case" instead of "let's add software to everything that lies and also accelerates climate change"

I did a birthday present to myself: a video essay about the two versions of Star Saber and how interesting they actually are when compared to one another, and how they make an accidentally perfect dark mirror of the other! Also is it gauche to tag @jroberts332.bsky.social, youtu.be/fikyQz97Coc

The Glassworker is a gorgeous, moving, sometimes brutal feature from Pakistan. Making it was a decade-long struggle. Ghibli inspired it, but this is no GenAI knockoff. It’s a deep study of Hayao Miyazaki's and Isao Takahata's filmmaking. We explore: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/learning-t...

Newgrounds' approach to verifying age is interesting and transparent.

"But some sexual topics in fiction are problematic!" Isn't a mass murder problematic? Aren't torture, kidnapping, slavery, organ harvesting and human experimentation problematic to you? Do you only consider things problematic when genitals are involved?

Even if you don't purchase smut, it should be common sense that the right for anyone else to obtain it shouldn't be completely up to modern day crusaders and credit card payment processors.

That said - want your kids to look at screens less? Spend time with them. I’ve looked after kids a lot over the years, and I can say most of the time they will choose interaction with caregivers over games or videos. It almost doesn’t matter what it is you do with them. They just wanna *do*.

While the UK is dragged back to the dark ages on trans human rights by the extreme right-wing actions, trans exclusionism and deliberate lies about us of the Starmer government, the rest of the world is still moving forward. Cuba joins the list of countries now safer for trans people than the UK.

It is so, so important to learn to understand the difference between A Gross Thing That Freaks Me Out, versus A Thing Which Causes Actual Harm In The World because as long as you can't navigate the difference, your disgust is a lever that can be used to manipulate you

Still very happy with this portrait of an XCOM 2 Berserker (aka: one of my wives) by @erikagskerzz.bsky.social from TFCon Toronto last weekend 💕

yes

Happy non-binary people's day! • Non-binary people don't owe you androgyny • Non-binary people are not confused about our gender • Non-binary ≠ woman lite • Support neopronouns • AMAB enbies ≠ cis men / trans women • Non-binary people still do not have any legal recognition in the UK 🟡⚪🟣⚫

🍑🕳️

While I'm at it here's the token het romance that took a whole 60 seconds to go through their entire enemies to lovers arc #XCOM #Moxrider #PratalMox #ElenaDragunova

Wait did I never post alien/monsterfucker yuri here I need to mend that right now immediately #XCOMBerserker #XCOMOC #XCOM

If you support trans people but not Palestinians, you’ve misunderstood the fight. Queer & Palestinian liberation are both about tearing down the same colonial systems that criminalize existence, surveil bodies, and justify genocide of both in the name of order. These are not separate struggles.

#PortfolioDay ✨ Gonna be at TFCON Toronto this weekend! So you'll be seeing that Starscream vs. Nightbird print there. Otherwise, I'm still open for commissions and the like!

#art #ocart We freed him, but at what cost???

#ocart #art Ariel to the rescue! Teaching my boy Victor how to keep his balance (and maybe not waste his entire wage paying for all the dishes he broke...)

Happy yuri day to all those who celebrate

It’s National Indigenous Peoples Day. Very few are talking about it. If you can, please take a few moments to read this. Please call your reps to stop the sale of public land today. Please.

“Black, queer, disabled, and working-class artists are continually invited to be visible — but not paid. Platformed, but not protected. Our labor fuels institutions that rarely acknowledge our right to own, direct, or even survive off what we create.” —Damien Davis, artist and educator
