Furries, do NOT buy this game if it is using any of that generative ai BS. Even if it is "just a little". This is how they slowly add it in and make it more accepted, and they WANT that. THAT is their plan.

Strega Nona fanart! I think more of us should draw fanart of our childhood faves. What were the kids’ books that you remember fondly?

Not to be the fun police but I do hope people know that Arc Raiders does use generative AI for voice acting, and by supporting the game you're letting higher-ups know that this is an okay practice. They try to downplay this on the Steam store page by describing the AI usage as vaguely as possible.

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

I love him already. Occtis is just a little 5′ 11″ guy💜 @alexanderward.bsky.social #art #criticalrole @criticalrole.bsky.social

To add onto this: She also directed her fans to harass me because I called out her shitty behavior toward me and another VA. And yes, a lot of the harassment included transphobia. So yeah, steer clear.

Jane Goodall, ethologist and conservationist, has died. She was 91

"Labels" can work as shorthand to expeditiously communicate what you are. But they're only as useful as they are relevant to you. You are not beholden to any label. If-- at any point-- a label no longer represents you? That's fine! Don't be afraid of change. Nobody can define what you are but you.

Why is it that the livelihoods of federal workers or the healthcare of millions of people always end up on the chopping block, but never the trillions in tax cuts handed out to billionaires and massive corporations?

just learned about the content warning that open Silent Hill f and this feels like it comes from a parallel world where AAA games took on a whole different meaning for "mature" damn. more of this approach please

Some facts about Depression

DO YOU REMEMBER

"🎶Why do you write like you're running out of time?🎶" My tablet battery is running low and this coffeeshop doesn't have an outlet, why are you singing?

This is the way

This is so important, do not go back to Twitter, fight to make Bsky better and send feedback about the stupid rules. We can't just bail on every community we make, sometimes we gotta stand up and make it better or at least stop it from getting worse. Twitter will never be good place anymore.

Here's one thing you can do: a disney+ subscription is around 16 dollars. Go on Patreon/Kofi, find your top 16 creators/youtubers with less than a million subscribers and give them each $1 a month. Changes lives, believe me

Regarding…well you know… youtube.com/shorts/CaHJR...

The best thing Kimmel could do right now is do what the Right does when it is deplatformed: replatform yourself on another service, go live, and dunk on the administration harder than ABC would ever have allowed him to. Go full South Park on them. Do an hour on Patel lying under oath about Epstein.

Help fund my Demon Slayer cup tomorrow maybe? ko-fi.com/viatricks

Decrying violence against political opponents rings a bit hollow when you pull Secret Service protection from your political opponents.

I just keep quoting Cell Block Tango from Chicago these days, my favourite line being: "It was a murder but not a crime."

Happy Birthday, Razor! #GenshinImpact #Razor Sword skills, that tall man taught me. I remember. I'm not tired. A little more. I can do it. You're strong. Train with me? Birthday, a day to... become stronger. Want more of Razor? See Genshin Impact's TikTok! hoyo.link/b0zfBBAd

I finished Demon Slayer's Swordsmith Village arc, and 3 things 1 Tokito is my new favorite thank you Griffin Burns 2 I need to hear Caleb Yen in more antagonistic/evil roles because oh my lord favorite Demon now 3 THEY HAD ME IN THE FIRST HALF IN THAT FINAL EPISODE NOT GONNA LIE

I have two Garlean OC's, one of which has been trying desperately to avoid the label and the other is a Proud Son of Garlemald but they're both stagnant because WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GO BACK TO GARLEMALD IN MSQ?! (Please imagine Liam with the 3rd eye he never made it out of cc...)

Garlemald deserved so much better and so much more oh my gOD

Albert and Eden are The Couple of All Time. Legitimately the best sjdfhkdjfgfd Soulmates to Childhood Friends to Lovers (Albert is @zacolyn.bsky.social 's and Eden is mine)

"why do you love spiders?" I dunno, maybe I feel a kinship for a creature that despite all the good it does has countless people willing to destroy it simply for existing, and because they refuse to understand it, and it makes them uncomfortable. I'm not sure why I might feel connected with that.

please please please this would be the best labor day weekend PLEASE

:D

in a complete & utter non-sequitur 😉: when the british restricted the irish's access to education, we* created "hedge schools." they were secret, underground, community schools held in private homes. there, we passed on our values, history, poetry & culture.

AND ANOTHER THING why do we still have to input a mini aetheryte just to tp directly to our house. this should be built in by now but here we are years later putting it in the very back of the house so it takes up a slot. useless

Weekends are a PERFECT time to call your overlords because wait times are low Don't let them have a break just because it's Saturday. KEEP CALLING. KEEP YOUR VOICE LOUD.

RT if you would throw Busby on a bed and….*checks notecard* snuggle him

I'm seeing fewer posts about the Visa and Mastercard situation, and I want to make it plain as day. You need to keep calling and bothering them and losing them money. Because if we lose this, they are going to cut more and more from what's available until you can only buy what they approve of. ⬇️

This is the most dangerous shade your brush water can be.

Y'all better get real fucking comfy with the freaks and degenerate art if you wanna survive in a fascist regime. Your sensitivity will be the death of you if you cannot learn to handle discomfort. We've seen this before. How many dystopia novels are y'all going to have to read before it sticks?

im about to be alone all weekend, anyone spare grocery money? ko-fi.com/viatricks

If you're a Democrat endorsing or even passively supporting Cuomo? You should be voted out. Full stop.

Aaaaand Krispy Kreme is dead to me. Boycott.

i would do unspeakable things to be able to just get the chance to audition to voice vriska augh

I swear to god if modded players take the Moonfire Faire as an excuse to host another 'Party' that puts unimaginable strain on Penumbra/Mare I'm--

Stripe crossed a line now. Call up whatever local LGBT organizations exist in your area, gay activist groups, gay bars, pride organizing committees, folks who schedule drag shows, queer church groups, everyone. Also libraries and bookstores. Show up in person to talk to any business using Stripe.

"Trans people need to be nicer" "Trans people need to understand compromise is important" "Trans people need to--" We have been playing fucking Cassandra for the last decade-plus and now that the Trojan War on Queer People is here we are expected to act like no one could have seen this coming
