Once you know how ChatGPT writes- like this, a very specific voice- you'll never be able to stop seeing it. Short sentences. Like a revelation. As if it has something important to say. Like therapyspeak. Even in event descriptions or marketing copy- it'll try to make some kind of grand statement.

can someone invent an e6000 tube that doesn't split apart, rendering the entire tube useless, after three uses

I keep seeing people trying to play down the payment processor situation, saying it's only the extreme NSFW accounts getting sacked. Well. One of the cutest SFW furry artist got banned from PayPal. What more proof do y'all need that we need to keep fighting the good fight? Also go support Nakufin.

*dusts off page* wanted to let everyone know we have the @filthyfigments.bsky.social anthology Transfixed in stock! Get it now while it's hot! (it will always be hot, but stock is limited)

oh my god THEY'RE EXPLODING

for some reason, whatever AI thing that pushes out the cishet omegaverse slop they put in webnovel ads is really fixated on Eddie Redmayne? all the villain alphas are Edward Redmayne of the Red Moon Pack with his evil daughter Marcy Redmayne. Where did this come from?

I don't know what Lenovo Vantage is but my cat really really wants me to download it

There's something deeply unpleasant about an org which claims to be censoring games 'for the sake of women' going after creatives (many of whom are women) and trying to wrench their livelihoods away As a woman I don't want to be used as a shield for puritanical anti-art policies

🌿☀️

the kids are very afraid of cringe and it feels bad so listen up: when I was your age we used to put "FLAMES WILL BE FED TO MY PET HELLHOUND WITH SYRUP ON TOP! MWAHAHAHAH" and honestly I think we could use more of that attitude these days. (flames= bad reviews)

ME: oh HELL yeah, they got soup you can slurp on clearance! This'll be perfect for the convention! MY BEAUTIFUL AND PATIENT AND INTELLIGENT PARTNER: ...hon, this is baby food

I fucking hate it here (was trying to look up a picture of an item at work to reprice it)

For any artists dealing with adult content bans, I want to encourage you to get involved in the sex worker rights movement. While illustration is not the same as sex work, we share many of the same struggles, and our fights will be stronger if we collaborate.

there's not much that can top the satisfaction of hearing a guy cry out in pain as i hang up the phone (he asked me a nasty question and i banshee screeched into the receiver in response)

It’s time for our own collective shout. Who are you calling? Remember: Stress you’re a repeat caller on this issue and that you heard about this controversy on the news. With Visa, ask for a supervisor once you hit a dead end. Calls should always last longer than 30 seconds yellat.money

I work in adult retail and I needed a quick way to at least capture customer attention while they buy lube. So, with deep thanks to everyone who's already done the work, I've made a very bare bones flyer designed to be printed and handed out.

we are going to need to keep up this 'yelling at payment processors' energy for more than just today Ideally, we will need to keep up this pressure over a span of a few weeks As many people as possible, each making 2-4 calls a day, for a few weeks, is going to make the biggest impact

I know we're upset about itch, but they're not the only ones Payment processors harassed companies bc of a 1,000 email hate campaign But we can EASILY top 1,000! I prewrote an email + got the contact info - you just have to send! ↻💬♡ to boost We CAN make a difference 💕 #itch #censorship 1/🧵

Something to consider: if you have a banking service that uses Mastercard, you can call your bank and lodge similar complaints. I'm on hold with BECU right now to tell them that I want them to drop Mastercard. If every Seattle queer with BECU also calls, their lines will be tied up all day.

This was crafted by a legal representative I know personally. docs.google.com/document/u/0... Usually when you call you just get a voicemail inbox but they do listen to them especially when they become suddenly full! Find your reps easily here:- www.congress.gov/members/find...

Let’s change gears. Do some good Sign this. Make it go viral. Protect sex workers. End payment processor discrimination action.aclu.org/petition/mas...

NEW on Collective Shout, the org behind Steam's new payment processor policies: * The organization has connections to NCOSE + Exodus Cry * It previously misinterpreted other games to drum up support * NCOSE has a long, long history of targeting Steam www.vice.com/en/article/g...

"Baman Piderman" will be back soon (via their own creators @smallbu.bsky.social) ♡

What about me is attracting guys who want to cuddle and form an emotional bond instead of psychos who want to hurt me? And how do I fix it

lmao this is not about anything but crushing speech

my cat is not fond of her new brother

behold the dumbest thing I've done lately #kpopdemonhunters

The thing is, one can craft a mediocre thing that everyone will think is kind of ok. Or one can craft something good or great and then there will always be people who love it and people who hate it My rule of thumb is checking whether critiquer is my target audience before taking critique onboard

moody

We have obliterated our own ability to critique these pieces of media and their place within the wider culture at the behest of ghouls who hate us and want to see us eradicated. Which is to say yeah you can dislike HH and vivzie. But my god fucking tone it down some. Its so fucking tiring

I'm beyond happy to share that @teamfourstar.bsky.social has voiced my Vegeta Pride comic!! 🪩🕺 A huge thank you to @kaiserneko.bsky.social and everyone over at TFS for bringing my comic to life, it's like a dream come true! Happy Pride!! 😁🫶❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

I remember as a teenager in 2002 being told that when I was an adult I'd understand and support these things.

May every single human being on this planet be safe. May every single person be protected from harm. May we bring into being a time in which we are all free from those who do evil— together, speedily and in our days.

When people say “we deserved 9/11” they’re not saying it to be edgy or shitty, they say it because of situations like what is happening right now.

too busy to draw today

as promised, more darrell.

lol

the Dildevil is from @funkittoys.bsky.social in case you want an employee of the month of your own. Aph is from the 70s, and Darrell.... well, I can think of a few ways to get your own ghost but I don't endorse any of them.

reduce, reuse, recycle. not sure if this is what @coelasquid.bsky.social had in mind but hey.

Friday Afternoon Tea has been such an important place for queer/trans meet-ups, and to see them in financial danger from PayPal farking up is heart breaking. Putting forth all the support we can to this wonderfully witchy tea spot that has done so, so much with providing a safe community space.

it sort of feels weird yeeting these out right now but i gotta stay sane somehow

gonna do the worlds shittiest comics about my job. lunch break doodles.

As I learned here thanks to Macron, KN95 masks work splendidly against tear gas. It won't save your eyes but you'll be able to breathe. You can use that breath to run away from the cloud. Tip for people in LA without anything fancier.

I made an easy to follow list of cool Native and Indigenous folks for Native American Heritage Month! Click "follow all" and share this post or you're a colonizer!

I'm not even sure how to process the updates coming through on Jonathan Joss' murder and the details surrounding it. I don't want to link to them. And n day fucking TWO of Pride. It's so much. I'm so hurt and so angry.

It's PRIDE MONTH! Heads up that my gay disabled zombie story is 32% off on Amazon this month, AND the paperback version is coming out later THIS YEAR!
