Metaphor sets, all on one spot now with Louis!

i was looking at fish scales and I got Inspired but. I gotta work on other stuff. Truly, it is suffering

The official Canadian Petition to reign in payment processor censorship has stalled out just under 10k signatures. This is a reminder for Canadians, this is an OFFICIAL petition that will be responded to. Show your support in protecting our free speech! www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

Do NOT believe the misinfo going around There absolutely have been MASSIVE TOS updates Most notably: 1) Specifying no FICTIONAL noncon 2) No "dangerous" kink 3) No DISCUSSING self harm, suicide, or substance abuse unless its "educational" So what can we DO about it? #SaveSpeech 1/🧵

it should go without saying but if you want users to voluntarily tag their art then you need to not threaten to ban them if they do. like, you can either have a well-regulated, easily-filtered art ecosystem or you can ban art you don’t like and see it come oozing back out of every crack and crevice

Hijiokis.....

i was thinking about hijioki again yesterday so I'm posting this oldy here

is it in the title of the work? like Bernini's 'rape of proserpina' statue or Mazza's 'rape of ganymede' painting? but wait no neither of those things are sexual. then is it making grimacing faces in sex? that's literally what an orgasm looks like is it rough sex and leather? that's bdsm, so...

think I'm going to start adding "characters in this image consented to what's depicted" to everything because there's something absolutely fucking hilarious in that kind of malicious compliance. why yes moderator, these characters consented to being murdered, it's all good here

#brry12moons — ☂️ meme redraw ft bvz and his learned lover he can't shut up about 💕 #baroryuu #バロ龍

I finished qjj vol5 wdym I have to wait until December for vol 6... this is what I get for not being late to the party

NSFW game creators should not have to be treated like dirt. Never stop shutting up about this issue toward these payment processors or state rep.

People want everything to be a binary between dooming and “we’re so back” but I’ll just say this is both a really troubling attack on press freedom and an open admission that your regime is fragile enough to feel threatened by Jimmy fucking Kimmel

qjj is so good.... (mid reading vol 5. like 70 pages left)

censorship is continuing to get worse 💔❤️‍🩹 we are tired but i know we're also determined!! if you took a break, or if you haven't started making calls and writing letters yet, now is a great time to jump in 🤝🧡

I was thinking of Ianthe again since I was talking about the locked tomb with a friend

Ianthe in van zieks' outfit and doing his animations because of the ace attorney reference in the unwanted guest

remember taking care of yourself and enjoying your time/life is the best form of political resistance. fascists are fucking crazy if you existing being happy in your own home pisses them off this much.

There are competitions for window tinting??? I feel like am old man watching construction with these, fascinating to watch. This will be dangerous to my productivity

relevant life lesson from comics on this one

This petition has been struggling to get as many signatures as the anti-paypros one, and its hovering around 3.9k atm If you signed the anti-paypros petition as a canadian, i implore you, please sign this one too! C-2 is bad news!

apple : )

close enough. welcome back heat von digital devil saga

Maybe... hearserph warmup today...

Bluesky has banned Aftermath journalist Nathan Grayson for 24 hours for quote tweeting his own article with the words "rest in piss," which apparently is now against the rules here.

oh no i forgot about The Deadlines

Spread calm. Tell the truth. Defend vulnerable people who are under attack. Getting stuck in a reactive mode is exhausting, and exhaustion can make us weak.

( #TGAA バロ龍 baroryuu) bwehhh

So its not violence to spend your entire life advocating for shootings, violence against marginalized people, several genocides & covid denial, but it is violence to say "haha a nazi died"...good to know safety's well thought out definitely not heinous stance. Always question who defines "violence"

I really should back to doing photo studies

this canadian petition targeting the C2 surveillance bill still needs a lot of signatures! canadian and canadian residents, make sure youre signing and sharing this one too!

LAST POST LMFAO?????

What an expertly called shot

I simply cannot stress it enough. You cannot sit this out. They are coming for EVERYTHING. No media, no creators are safe under these policies. They want us poor, they want us criminalized, they want us disenfranchised. Call paypros. Call your reps. Do SOMETHING.

Have you made your calls today? Payment Processors need to hear your opinion. We have to stay loud, and every time we speak up it costs them money. Please, keep calling! Don't let this issue die!

#politics if youre an australian the obnoxious group cheerleading this effort is from there. give the paypros and collective shout fascists the boot

Would like to emphasize for folks: This not just a general online petition, but one formally being brought forward by an MP to the House of Commons. PLEASE sign this if you're a Canadian, and share it around even if you're not for your other Canadian friends to know about.

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

this is nightmarish and should alarm you no matter what your opinions on pornography are

This is not the AI boom creating a new type of work, this is a classic example of managers using automation to deskill old ones. Creative workers who once made a higher wage creating original art and writing are now paid in piecework to edit automated output. Bosses are using AI to cut labor costs.

I actually had to explain to someone recently that the AI that tells enemies in video games how to react to player inputs is NOT genAI and has existed for literal decades. they genuinely had no idea there was a difference. this shit has poisoned the well so bad.

This is scary as hell, but for news coverage? This is a GIFT. "You can be banned for *buying* Game of Thrones." Send emails to journalists and news sites and communities you're a part of and talk about the dangers here. People are going to care about this a lot more when it's not just creators.
