Even if someone pirates my games, plays 10 minutes and posts “this sucks but this character is hot” the probability of that turning into a sale down the line from them or even from someone who reads that and checks it out themselves is really favorable

I’ll literally do a flat shading full art ref for your oc for $25

Something also very cruel about this argument, considering the number of people I see who do art for a living that are constantly struggling to make ends meet. The same people whose works get scraped/stolen by the people who make this argument in the first place.

"HRT shouldn't be easily available because it can be dangerous if you don't know what you're doing." Go into Walmart and go down every aisle and take note of how many easily available things could fuck you up if you don't know what you're doing. I guarantee you it's a lot.

"you don't have to accept this future" is the hardest thing I've ever seen tagged on an ad tbh

I wrote a book about US media’s complicity in the Gaza genocide. It's available for pre-order. It’s a data-driven and, I hope, thorough account of how center-left media sold the American public on mass death in Gaza. Out 4/21. 100% of royalties go to @mecaforpeace.bsky.social.

My DnD character may have made a huge mistake choosing my familiar to be infernal themed. It keeps saying stuff like "I was always here" and "everything you do is the right thing" and it eats worms like a rusted steel trap. Like it doesn't even eat them but rather just holds them in its mouth.

Lotta the most powerful people in Canada don't seem to know what the word "feminist" actually means, but by god that isn't going to stop them from confidently using it.
