Billionaire Elon Musk has stated that work is underway to shut down the U.S. foreign aid agency, USAID. Officials have been instructed not to report to work and have been locked out of the building.

Dragon Age fandom not knowing the difference between ethnicity, race, language, and nationality you say?

You literally cannot grow coffee in most of America

People on TikTok will ask an easily Googled question and you’ll respond “you should google it” because it’s too complicated for a comment section, and dozens of people will call you rude for saying people should not rely on content creators to spoon feed answers constantly like it’s our job…

I am Mexican. My family is Mexican. My grandparents emigrated from Mexico to find a better life and my father was born in America, on land stolen from Mexico. If you support deportation and believe people can be illegal in a country that is built upon stolen land, I hope you rot.

So, I hear there’s drama

Spite. Loves. Lots. Of. Things. Smickerdoobles. Lucanis. The Block Button.

Oh and this is all a great fucking reminder that Dalí was a pos fascist woman beater, and his art blows chunks.

I think about all the art that’ll be lost over the next however many years. Facsists loathe real art. I think of Klimt’s missing paintings. I think of the artist Heba Zagout from Palestine, who died in a bombing. Journalists, writers, musicians, painters.

If you crash out publicly at all because someone blocked you, you’re definitely the problem… but if you crash out for 4 hours because someone blocked you? …that is genuinely concerning behavior.

And people being like “TIKTOK IS DEFILED! It’s all propaganda now!” As if (1) TT didn’t already censor people and allow conservative spaces and thought and (2) as if the purpose isnt about staying in community with followers and creators despite ALL social media apps having vile leaders at the helm

Lmaooooooo

My TikTok… is working?

Since the resurgence of My Shayla happened end of 2024 ok TikTok, we can expect Reels to take hold of the meme around July of this year

The thing about the “My Shayla” guy is that though temporarily he lost custody of his daughter, soon enough they were reunited. Soon enough they were reunited 🩷

I heard some Europeans saying they might leave flowers in comment sections 🥲 if the app comes back it would be really sweet if people did that to American friends and that’s what we come back to

Friends from abroad: can yall still see our TT accounts? Or are they “wiped” from the platform? I saw someone say if you can see them to leave flower emojis in the comments and I think that would be really sweet 🥲

Anyway might as well post whatever tf I feel like anywhere bc nothing has the algorithm to ever give me traction like TT. What is branding? (And why tf do I care anymore?)

this is such bullshit. when tiktok was 1st threatened w/ ban by trump, the ownership was sold to the singapore group & all data was moved to Oracle in texas to ensure no funny biz. Georgia Tech did a study of tiktok data practices, finding they match the industry www.cc.gatech.edu/news/case-ti...

I just ordered a bunch of water soluble oils for the first time. Water soluble oils are safer for the environment and less scary to have around a cat. Excited to start! Got some clear gesso so I can paint on paper also (oil eats and breaks down natural fibers)

boutta relearn witchcraft to fuck with the government

Just a reminder of some of the context around the TikTok ban: In 2020, Trump tried to ban it via executive order a couple months after K-pop fans used it to organize fake signups to Trump’s Tulsa rally, which led him to publicly overestimate how large the crowd size would be.

the TikTok algorithm is so good that it even served up the perfect video to act as the background for its ban announcement

Do we remember how the K Pop girlies pulled a prank on Trump years ago? Good times.

Feel free to share…it started in 2020.

*posts meme on Tiktok* ➡️ goes viral *post same meme on Instagram* ➡️ gets 50 likes and a comment that says “k*y*s”

Just saw a fan art of a Fenris nude on Tumblr…. Maybe it is time to go back there….

I doubt I’ll ever get to half a mil followers again, but it was nice to feel like people really saw my art and what it means #art #artist #watercolor

What do we think they would have to talk about, honestly? #baldursgate3 #dragonage #baldursgate #dragonage2 #Shadowheart #fenris

All my homies I haven’t followed back on accident comment below this post. Nah but seriously if we are TT mutuals and I haven’t followed you back it’s not personal. Comment below and I will happily follow back if we’re mutuals there!

I had two platforms on TT: one with almost half a million followers, the other with 20k, and it’s just gone in 24 hours…. All that work…

fenrisdefender on xioahongshu/red note. They're clearly doing a great job at improving the English speaker usability! Lot's of things already properly translated into English. It's honestly so nice.

My ADHD truly cannot handle a platform switch. I was not made to be a social media multi-app user. I forget Bsky, IG, and Tumblr exist tbh. I did make a Xiaohongshu account this morning LMAO

Instagram doesn’t understand the word subtext and it’s kind of hilarious how much pearl clutching they’re doing over there re: subtext. What’s gonna happen when these people read a Greek myth??

Not me getting the highest views and boost to my TikTok fandom account ever this month only for it to go away in January 😭

I can’t find anything that says that Lemon8 is included in the TikTok ban. However, it goes w/out saying that if TikTok is successfully banned, other apps owned by ByteDance will also be. I still think it’s worth going over to Lemon8 in the chance that somehow Congress doesn’t go after them, too.

Hexcore/hextech and Viktor/Jayce’s journey through developing it feels like a cautionary tale regarding AI technology. Down to the point that we visually see its soul sucking qualities as Viktor becomes consumed. We see Hextech’s ability to remove humanity from creativity and innovation. #arcane

hey @bsky.app , now seems like a reeeaaaallly good time to implement a video & stories type tab/function on your site and distinguish yourself from other platforms...

I can always look at artwork and tell when the artist is tracing without a full skillset yet…. It kinda irks me that people can’t tell 😭

I feel like something will probably replace TikTok at some point but in the meantime I’m losing $200-300 of monthly income and it was always enough to try and get by. This country doesn’t give a shit about its people at all.

I haven’t seen anyone do a breakdown yet of how much Hextech and the Hexcore, as well as Jayce and Viktor’s journeys are metaphor and meta commentary on AI and the dangers it poses on human creativity and art. Going to be working on that! #arcane

TikTok really was the new Vine, in so many ways

prometheus-type curse where every day eagles come and pluck out any hair that’s grown on their scalp

A nest of bees formed on an ancient god’s head as he slept for centuries and when he woke, ripping off the wax killed all of his hair follicles

Hey guys, what creative ways would you invent lore for baldness in characters?

I haven’t drawn in weeks :/ I’d like to do some more DA and Arcane stuff. Throw words of encouragement at me in a really aggressive way. Like very positive but also like I’m at Boot Camp.

It’s the fact that the Dragon Age writing team thought it was REAALLYY important to specify that yes, all ancient elves are bald (not just Solas), for me…
