Don't let up on them. They're still planning something, and as has been seen, their 'plans' are poorly thought out to a comical degree. Make your voice heard if you have a Github account. github.com/bluesky-soci...

Gross Ko-fi customer support imposter scam going around. Do not click any links from anyone you don't know and report these types of accounts.

HUNGRY LIKE THE WOLVES STICKERS

Sorry guys, feeling kinda shityy tonight. Gonna try a doodle fest tomorrow. x_x

what this shows is that it has always been within the power of congressional republicans to say no to this man, and they must be held accountable for all the times they did not

Hey...uh...happy pride..maybe help a very sick transmasc creator afford getting to extremely important doctor appointments this pride month? Is that like..okay to ask for. I dont do shit like this. Ive only ever posted my art on pride. Im sorry

Was kicked out forcibly by my mom Even though I pay the rent Dunno what to do ko-fi.com/D1D77VFI/goa...

Please spread the word 🙏♥️

A legend, an icon and a trailblazer.

If you are on GitHub, please give your NSFW/queer/furry peers some support 🙏: github.com/bluesky-soci... Given bsky team's track record, I have doubts about the effectiveness of directly appealing to them. But short of abandoning the platform, it's at least some form of action.

if it isn't clear, I'm with the 18+ artists. don't think because the majority of my art is market friendly that it means I am. fuck censorship, fuck fascism, fuck puritanism. people should have the choice to decide what they want to see, not have the choice made for them.

People who use genai in their creative work should be treated the exact same as those who are caught plagiarizing traditionally. They should be kicked from colleges, pulled from projects, and ostracized from art communities. Using ai IS PLAGIARISM, yet many view it as way less severe for some reason

got time for ooooone last lil sketch tonight. Any takers?

A sexy Bebop and Rocksteady for @dreaminggeno.bsky.social !

Po, requested by @fattoid.bsky.social !

This morning @thebiggertexan.bsky.social ended up getting hit by someone who ran a red light. Fortunately he is alright some cuts, bruises, and a mild concussion but still here. Sadly the crash totalled our only vehicle, while I dont usually do this, anything would help. gofund.me/174dacbc4

Ended up getting hit by someone who ran a red light. Fortunately I'm alright aside from some cuts, bruises, and a mild concussion but still here. Sadly the crash totalled our only vehicle, while I dont usually do this, Anything would help. Thanks y'all.

IMPORTANT: For any artists/writers/etc etc, using Linktree to point people to their work, from 5 July, they'll be feeding all imagery you use on your landing page into DALL-E by OpenAI. I deleted my account this morning.

Thinking about doodling some friends to get back in the loop. Drop a ref or two and lemme sketch ya. :O … might doodle em a lil bigger than usual, if you’d like…

PSA: Bluesky's new auto-tagging moderation stuff is a disaster. Disable it. Go into Settings on the Bluesky site and enable adult content and set everything to Warn at most, which makes posts opt-in. Hide just vanishes posts. Then go into Advanced/Bluesky Mod Service and do the same on everything.

Bsky is apparently gonna start flagging whole accounts as nsfw soon so if you don't already know about your moderation settings, highly suggest switching nsfw from Hide to Warn; otherwise many creators will completely vanish from your timeline when they roll this out.

Anti-porn, anti-sex worker, and anti-sex censorship directly corresponds to a tilt downward into a more ideologically conservative and oppressive society. Regardless of your personal comfort with nsfw content on the internet, it's absolutely critical to support it right now.

Guess PayPal isn't going to do shit. Welp. If anyone wants to help recover the money: ko-fi.com/wolfnanaki

Heads up ya'll! with Bluesky rolling out moderation crack down in their new update, please consider enabling "adult content" under your moderation tab in settings. Not so you can have porn on your feed, but to ensure that you can still see posts with the word "stupid" and "hell" in it-

If you are aware of AI use on an animated production at a signatory studio please e-mail [email protected]

literally this

If folks can help out Kdin -- even a little -- that would be amazing. The American health care system is absolute bullshit.

It's not JUST that "AI" is harming the environment. It's not JUST that "AI" is taking the humanity out of art. It's not JUST that it is a threat to the workforce. It's that people are fucking tired of companies selling us things we don't want in the middle of various humanitarian crises.

People have talked the argument "everyone uses it" into the ground because yeah. No, not "everyone" uses it. The thing is, though, the general public doesn't know the difference between LLM and genAI and proprietary tools that many companies developed and implemented into their workflow years ago.

This new Bluesky label leaves users who only want to see SFW posts from someone who may post tagged content on occasion with no way to see their posts other than seeing all their posts including labeled content To put it simply, users hit with this content warning are NERF'd. It's all or nothing

Just to be clear: the Epstein files are being blocked because they show Trump raped and threatened to kill children.

CW: NSFW fantasizing:

He so bsky is going to be doing some sort of change with nsfw peeps going to be hidden in mass if you don't set to warn instead of hide. You won't see anything you don't choose to open, but the people who you care about that do post that stuff at all will vanish from your tl, nsfw or not. So go fix

I hope I can turn this off, immediately

It's becoming clearer that the true purpose of AI is a repeat of 2007's economic predators. Get people so invested and so deep in debt they can't pay and that far outstrips their value, then seize their assets.

Staff being able to apply an adult content label to an entire acct overrides the label function and is not a good thing. Do you know how many newcomers don't know that their default moderation settings hide us from view completely and they just assume we don't exist? This is shoving us out of sight

Netflix Animation Studios production workers have ratified their first union contract with The Animation Guild. The deal includes wage minimums, dismissal pay, workplace protections, and higher pay for Production Assistants.

Bullying works.

Wikimedia Foundation just fired a long time lead developer of MediaWiki as well as its entire community team for unionizing. If you’re a donor, email [email protected] to protest this move. medium.com/@jakeorlowit...

"I have to use AI because I can't afford to pay an artist." Weak, loser shit. I can't afford to commission art for this project I'm working on, so I'm doing it myself. And I'm drawing stuff that's out of my comfort zone!

Hey y'all, I'm taking 3 color + shading single character commissions for $100 each (complex characters will be extra). DM me if interested!

“It’s stealing the work of other artists and I’m cashing in my name and reputation to let a corporation make it look like using genAI is okay while the project eliminates jobs that other artists could be working, but, like, it’s a big experiment for me!” *takes drag off weed; farts*

This pretty much sums it up: 1/2

This really is it, this is the part that keeps me raging against the machine. Every day of my career I’m shoulder to shoulder with incredible people, pouring their skill & point of view into the work they do, making choices that amaze and delight me. Frame by frame, drawing by drawing…that’s THE job
