Hey artists, especially character designers, here is a gift. I just found out about Ocean Census. In a world full of fake images made by AI is a comfort to see a compendium of real image references. So many different creatures to inspire us. oceancensus.org/species-gall...

I had a handful of uncomfortable situations a few years ago and now only post where I am in real time if it's an event where I want people to come see me. Anything else, I generally wait to post until I've already left town. I can't imagine what this is like for genuinely famous people.

When you think about it, Meng Yao kind of worked in customer service and that makes everything he did make a lot more sense [ #mdzs #mengyao #fanart ]

Time for a MONDAY UPDATE! 🐉 My social break is going fabulously. DTBPF is now up to Ch. 70 on the drive! 6 more and Book 2 is FINISHED! 💦💦 #dtbpf #danmei #audiobook Finally, next week on YT I am starting my fifth(!?) BL review - another TutorYim series ofc haha All links are in the post below!♥️

Spain has closed its airspace to US planes involved in attacks on Iran. Meanwhile, the UK is letting US bombers land, refuel and re-arm. Complicity is always a choice — and our government has chosen to drag Britain into an illegal war.

@attie.ai, for those who wanna press the funny buttons too

It's really wild to me that I'm catching blocks for interacting with content that says censorship is bad. So, let's lower the rent a little here: Censorship is bad. Letting the government and pay pros tell you what you can and can't create or spend money on is so phenomenally bad.

I finally took the time to digitalize old photos that my late wife took during her time in Japan. She studied Japanese history and lived in Japan for a year. I wanted to share some photos from her photo albums that I found. 🌸

We don't want AI-generated stories. We want stories that are beautiful and weird. Mistakes and obsessions. Labyrinthine worlds; love poems that break us. We want the wild stroke of chance, the stray detail. We don't want soulless slop. We want work *written* by HUMANS.

LRP really moved me for some reason 🥺 i love art

hello if you like me are feeling real sour about seven seas getting bought by an AI translation company then that company's contact form is right here so you can explain to them directly that you will never buy any seven seas titles again mediado.jp/english/cont...

Hey yall this is your chance to show the trans community you really are an ally and you're not just saying it for brownie points!! -Do not support ANY of this -JK Rowling has said on numerous occasions that her income goes DIRECTLY into anti-trans legislation in the UK -Seriously. NONE. Of it.

While OpenAI, Anthropic, and X's Grok have dominated headlines in the 'AI race' thanks to numerous scandals, Google Gemini has flown relatively under the radar…🧵

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: Thanks to your overwhelming support of our first #baihe (Girls' Love books originally written in Chinese) release, THE BEAUTY'S BLADE: MEI REN JIAN (NOVEL), we're pleased to launch a new label just for baihe! New licenses for the label will come soon 💖

Reminder that the link between anything Harry Potter and anti-trans policies is direct and immediate. There IS NOT EVEN the usual obscuring fog of money changing hands multiple times and eventually ending up in bad hands. JKR openly just uses HP money to fund anti-trans shit.

if you want a real easy way to be a chad do not get involved in this on any level. I dont scold people for their tastes but JK Rowling has said repeatedly she puts the revenue generated by Harry Potter right into anti trans political organizations and legislation

Folks, please don’t tell artists they shouldn’t be making or selling their art right now. For many, it’s how they pay the bills. Art is vital during times like this. ALL ART. Whether it’s a protest sign or a book cover or just a beautiful drawing. It’s part of the heart of humanity.

a whole bunch of people are d0nating which is amazing and we want to keep that going so to do that we could use a few more creators so with that in mind CREATOR SIGN UPS HAVE BEEN REOPENED forms.gle/qGahqLJjV3Kb...

you will have to pry the millennial “lol” from my cold dead hands. i don’t know how else to express minor despair. if i didn’t say “lol” after admitting i’m a husk inside, i’d have to develop emotional resilience, and i simply don’t have time for that

🌱🏛️ Forced proximity finally achieves what years of denial couldn't. Stuffed in a cramped storage closet (with an even more cramped history of pining so intense it should be its own ecosystem), it becomes a problem too obvious for either of them to ignore. 🔗 below! #Haikaveh

With alt-text now.

PSA on ao3 scams ran by bots. turn off guest comments if you can, be safe ♥️

Just in case anyone out there feels like they shouldn’t post art - please do. The constant bullshit from the news is difficult but we can’t allow all of that to stop us from making art and sharing it. That’s all I have to say rn - am planning to enjoy the rest of my weekend working on sketches.

Three million people live in Caracas, five million in the metro area. It's one of the densest cities in South America. Remember this in the morning when they try to spin this as anything other than a cold-blooded attack on a major civilian center.

A reminder for everyone getting Christmas presents… stay away from the HP merch!!! uk.news.yahoo.com/j-k-rowling-...?

we can kill them all if we just work together and ✨believe💫

“i can’t leave twitter, i need it, it’s where my audience is”

"AI dubs" are dead! We can indeed stop these companies when they try to replace people with stolen slop. The solution is bullying corporations, which is half y'all's hobby anyway so this should be easy.

i think if you want to have those disgusting LED headlights on your car, you should have to do a test where they blast you point blank with your own headlights and then you have 15 seconds to successfully complete some sort of vision-based task, and if you can't do it they push your car off a cliff

I’ve been a FreeTaxUSA proselytizer for years and years and I strongly encourage everyone to make the switch. same kind of step by step “for dummies” interface, even for my complicated freelancer taxes, and you don’t have to give your money to one of our most evil lobbyists
