Say it with me everyone: Demanding literalism in art is a symptom of fascism!

just shootin' my shot throne.com/charlesv_art

Trying to stay cool, but (stream)[twitch.tv/charles_blank] goes on~ a bit of a variety day today Gonna try doing some ACNH, a full playthrough of Reanimal, and then a bit of Hades II; live now!

With another streaming service announcing a subscription price increase today, sounds like it's prime time to get a library card. Come to Kanopy for a catalog of over 30,000+ titles, available without ads or subscriptions through participating libraries. Go to www.kanopy.com to get started.

No more personal brand, only personal space; get away from me

"engagement is low on Bsky" for the millionth time. Then engage. SHARE posts. TALK to people. Do literally ANYTHING but "Like and Go". Bsky is not dead, it's just free of Algorithms and that means YOU HAVE TO DO SOMETHING if you want engagement!

Me: I want to play Pokopia Also me: We have Pokopia at home

catching up to the weekly reset in FFXIV but live, on twitch

Keeping my mind off of Pokopia and the amount of money that I spent today (unrelated) and gonna try to finally get a clear on Hades II Playing live on twitch

Two days left to save us.

Was meant to stream yesterday, but it wasn't meant to be (apparently), so here I am making it up today, with FF3 live now on twitch

Might be a short stream just doing some island upkeep but, a friend might possibly join me for a new FF14 dungeon?

Hey if you're a bird photographer and you're using AI to "improve" your photos (like the image on the left, that changes the color of the bird, moves the eye, erases the tail, adds extra feathers that aren't there) know it makes me lose all respect for you, for just photo quality purposes alone.

if you’re cis and you don’t get it this is LITERAL TORTURE it will result in dead trans people and with their other goal of making us “sexually explicit” for existing you see the pipeline right? we exist -> we’re jailed for it -> we’re tortured and die WE NEED YOU TO STOP THIS

Tapping the sign

Yes, Discord, I know my access to nitro is ending. I did that on purpose.

Haven't streamed this in about a month, but trying to get a clear in Hades II, hopefully within 3 attempts live on twitch

Last(?) day of my sub, so gonna be farming tomes til i hit the weekly cap live on twitch

Screenshotting this and alt texting all of it since it will most likely get deleted because Hammam is Palestinian. It deserves to be seen and not erased.

The Trump administration is dramatically expanding an effort to revoke U.S. citizenship for foreign-born Americans as it works to curb immigration, according to two people familiar with the plans.

Been slacking on my FF14 dailies and since I woke up extra early... time for stream! twitch.tv/charles_blank

NEW: ICE has a plan to lease offices across the US as part of a secret, months-long expansion campaign. Today, @wired.com is publishing dozens of those locations. Many are near schools, medical offices, and places of worship. Vital work from @leahfeiger.bsky.social that I'm proud to publish.

if i know discord for anything is that they can and will pussy out if people bully them enough for something. get fucking loud about this

with Discord having the audacity to make age verification mandatory in March after having a major data breach just a few months ago, I guess I'm looking for an alternative for an online gathering place 'cause what in ever living hell

so many kidlit people use substack. may I suggest: don’t

forgot to make a post on monday, but i'm streaming my ff3 playthrough all week this week, and today's stream 2! twitch.tv/charles_blank also trying to reset the ol' sleep cycle, so i hope i... stay sane through stream

If you're not in Minnesota and curious how to help, this is a week old but is well organized, includes multiple easy-to-understand bullet points, and seems like a good place to start: www.reddit.com/r/minnesota/...

So we agree that animation can pull in huge numbers and more projects should be green lit..

ice is melting, stickers are up in my shop. Nashville is recovering from a literal ice storm, it could be a while before I get these to you but I will as soon as I can. abolish ICE.

trying to get a warbear for my warrior in ff14 twitch.tv/charles_blank i am also v tried and will probably end stream as soon as I get it
