Reposting because, and I say this with love, some of you are going to see this and go “oh shit, I need to check my bottle” and then immediately forget about it so if this could affect you, go check right now before you even scroll to the next post, I mean it.

hey if you are an artist who depends on SNAP, ✅ share some art ✅ share links to where people can buy from/donate to you ✅ share the thread ✅ share someone else's post too ✅ label NSFW/horror/etc. properly ⛔ no AI #artistsonbsky #supportartists #artshare

food is a human right

Meanwhile, in South Korea: "Starting at the end of November, public parking lots with more than 80 spaces will be required to install solar power generation facilities. This obligation applies not only to newly constructed parking lots but also to existing ones." cm.asiae.co.kr/en/article/2...

I wish I knew who created this because I’d love to give credit and thank them for the inspiration.

This is why Republicans shutdown the government. Because they refuse to extend the ACA subsidies that expire at the end of the year. With open enrollment starting at Nov 1, marketplace insurers can no longer wait to publish rates. With alt text.

Here is a Reddit threat that explains how to disable Copilot in Windows, which I've just followed: www.reddit.com/r/WindowsHel...

With the holidays upon us, don't give to Salvation Army. Not even change. It's a scumbag "charity" run by anti-gay zealots. Habitat for Humanity is great. Your local Food Bank is great. So many "charities" are for-profit scams. Use Charity Navigator to vet them. www.charitynavigator.org

i saw this and i’m not gonna lie i needed to see this. i hope it helps others not feel guilty that we can’t do more

Found this on the AO3 subreddit, and I'm about to let it change my whole life (or at least work really hard to internalize it wrt my writing).

please support ur friends making creative shit in this cruel world. u have no idea how much a kind comment can mean to an artist when every website just tries to make you focus on the numbers

I was well over 30 when I wrote and published my first novel, and fully agree with you!

Currently at: — only buy tech too old to have AI built in — painstakingly disable AI every time they add it to something that used to work perfectly well — if it can't be switched off, abandon the platform or tool — if there are no good alternatives, avoid the AI parts — patiently wait for the crash

A friend writes: I saw someone's post somewhere that talked about how their nine-year-old and all his friends have started using "That's AI" instead of "I don't believe you." Mom: "We're having dinosaur meat for dinner tonight." Kid: "That's AI."

Jimmy Kimmel's Monologue now has 14.3 MILLION VIEWS on YouTube. It would be a shame for you to share it www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1tj...

I’m tired of being divided into teams. Do you have an elderly grandparent who needs care? So do I. Do you struggle to afford the high price of everything? So do I. Do you know what it means to carry the weight of medical debt? So do I. You’re on my team — and I’m on yours.

Reactions like this to brians story show why it's valuable to keep talking about. As artists we are living the situation and assume others are aware, but the truth is most people do not know

Massive consolidation of entertainment conglomerates has an unexpected downside for them: when one of their subsidiaries capitulates to fascism, it threatens their entire portfolio. ABC, Disney, Star Wars, theme parks, cruises, Hulu, Marvel, Pixar, ESPN, etc. are all now fair boycott targets.

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...

Which work? Calling for gay people to be stoned to death? Blaming airplane crashes on black pilots? Anti-vax bullshit? Election denialism? Pushing Great Replacement Theory? Kirk’s murder is awful and ominous for this country. But no, we don’t need to honor him or “continue his work.”

I'll just leave this important reminder here, useful for whenever you share anything as a link. (The image in the quoted post doesn't have alt text but there's a link to the reddit post it's screenshotted from in the replies of the post.)

Virginia Giuffre's brother: We are here today because we support the Epstein Files Transparency Act. This is about justice. If you vote no, your stance will be clear. You will be choosing to stand on the side of the rich and powerful, allowing money to buy your way out of the consequence

Feeling all sorts of sad right now. Please remember to love not only each other, but also yourselves. I know it's hard. I know this world can be unkind and unfair especially right now, but all of you are precious to me, and having you all in my life helps me keep going too. I love you, my friends.

“Film things you see happening…Be loud for America” is quite the rallying cry.

As a verified, long-term, dues-paying member of @sagaftra.org, I continue to support unions and union members always.

The Republican Congress is going to try to rewrite the history of RFK Jr.’s confirmation as HHS Secretary. “We didn’t know” “Nobody told us” “He promised he wouldn’t…” This thread will be about the warnings from thousands of scientists and HCW who loudly and publicly opposed his confirmation.

JUDGEMENT DAY is about a masked astronaut sent to a planet of sentient robots to determine if they can join a Galactic Federation. The astronaut rejects their bid after observing they've built a hierarchy solely around which color they're painted. We only see the astronauts face in the final panel.

Hi authors! Please remember to file a claim!

Yet again, this Michael Rosen poem hits the bullseye.

I’ve been thinking about this today after spending almost 2 hours trying to draw a single pose sketch of a character… being able to tolerate the frustration and push through when it becomes hard (and it almost always does) is the main trait that you can develop to improve your art

Is this a bad time to say my commissions are open for people who'd like a visual reference of their FFXIV character? If not me, there's tons of incredible artists out there to choose from, too. (:

Time to post it again.

Like @zedotenator.net says:

Hey, it's not just you. Everyone is going through it right now. You're not losing it, and more importantly, you can keep going. No matter how hopeless it feels, you can make it through this. So long as you keep getting up and keep moving forward, little by little, you'll get there. I believe in you.

You're going to start hearing a lot of talk about moving in to crypto as a way to bypass payment processors and what I need all of you to understand is that Anybody Saying This Is Trying To Scam You. They Have Potentially Millions Of Dollars In Crypto They Can't Cash Out Unless You Buy It From Them.
