This bit of the carceral state charging apprehended or incarcerated families for everything -- phone calls, health care, even room and board in the prisons -- is just really the point where neoliberal wealth extraction and pointed racist cruelty meet and commingle

I’m reaching levels of brainworms that have been out of reach for years, I’m so so SO NORMAL about this movie is stg Unironically it unlocked something in my brain that makes me want to draw more

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.

been playing skyrim again

Finally got around to watching Phantom of the Paradise (loved it), but until recently I had been under the assumption that the movie took place on a space station called the Paradise and was set in the stylized future??? idk how I thought that?????

Genuinely, stop giving FNAF promo. He still gets paid from it all. It's his IP. Y'all talk about dropping HP but can't drop FNAF?

Hey everyone, here's a real simple way to disable "Super Resolution" on your channels: • YouTube Studio • Settings • Channel • Advanced settings • Uncheck "Let YouTube enhance visual quality" • Uncheck "Let YouTube enhance audio quality"

No mariners in the world series

The mariners didn’t sweep the blue jays at their home games in Seattle because it would have been too beautiful, too perfect.

When we write or draw porn or erotica, we get banned from having a bank account and our livelihoods get seized even if we give it away for free. When billionaires steal what we've written or drawn to churn out a slop-approximate of porn, they're allowed to charge for it.

look ai is completely destroying the world with massive pollution and is using up water at a concerning rate but at least you get to use technology that lies to you and is the primary propaganda mechanism by fascists

Remember there’s a campaign for this on 5Calls if you need a script to read from: 5calls.org/issue/kids-o...

You should be boycotting gamepass for BDS anyways but THIRTY American dollars a month?? Jesus

hi, cis folks! trans people need your help! the FY26 budget gets a vote by 9/30. GOP wants a ban on funds for ALL health services that provide trans care for ANY AGE. they're trying for other bans, too. we need you to call senators like chuck who don't get it: reps.fyi info & script in the🧵⬇️

boycotts work. anyone who says otherwise is spreading pro corporate, pro government propaganda

I cannot emphasize this enough: The regime has overextended itself. It is vulnerable to protest and dissent. They have not consolidated power and we are entirely capable of keeping them from doing so. Doomers are not realists.

Michigan lawmakers have introduced a bill prohibiting the any "depiction or description" of trans people or trans existence online, including it in a bill banning "pornographic" material The bill would completely erase trans people online, equating them with porn.

Unlikely as it is to pass, I think maybe it'd be good to scream at your representative that you don't want people who view pornography to be on a sex offenders registry

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide. As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire. End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

commissions are open! help me make it to my academy classes this week and buy a stompie maybe?? 🥺🥺🙏🙏💖💖 vge.co/rymac

I simply cannot stress it enough. You cannot sit this out. They are coming for EVERYTHING. No media, no creators are safe under these policies. They want us poor, they want us criminalized, they want us disenfranchised. Call paypros. Call your reps. Do SOMETHING.

Youtubers out there, go into your channel settings, "Upload Defaults", "Advanced Settings". As of this month, "Automatic AI Dubbing" is on by default unless you manually disable it. This scrubs your voice and generates an AI voice. Thank you @frostprime.bsky.social for talking about this.

My friend is near his fundraiser goal! He's really struggling right now, but I know he'd really appreciate it if we could be the final push to get him there! And thank you to those who gave already. Every little bit helps!

This is scary as hell, but for news coverage? This is a GIFT. "You can be banned for *buying* Game of Thrones." Send emails to journalists and news sites and communities you're a part of and talk about the dangers here. People are going to care about this a lot more when it's not just creators.

Massive walkout underway at CDC. RFK jr. must resign so that we can be safe.

they want as many of us to die as possible

family is facing a difficult challenge and could use some help to find our way back to each other/a safe place to stay. please donate or share if you can, thanks for taking the time to read 🙏💖 gofund.me/666d7ce1

Ditter is one of the brightest rays of sunshine I've ever had the chance to meet, and if you can spread this around we can help them get back on their feet! www.gofundme.com/f/w3tpn-supp...

YouTube boycott is going great, I just stayed up late reading Annihilation in one sitting. Honestly much more rewarding than a video binge while being equally disruptive to my sleep schedule 😝

So long as youtube has this god-awful ai age verification stuff, I’m boycotting. I don’t trust them with my government ID since they have every incentive to sell my information. Gonna do so many better things with my time, like reading the stack of books I’ve been procrastinating.

Mind you, they've given this to everyone before handing out the ability to put in actual human dubs over preexisting videos to all creators. (They stated they'd hand out this dubbing feature 2 years ago. And yet only 1 mil subbed channels have the feature.) Youtube is a joke

Keep up your calls and complaints to payment processors because this is where the bans are going, nothing accidental about it.

Hey, so, TOTALLY not suggesting that RFK Jr. BACKS DOWN when we PUSH BACK, BUT if you’d like to call… HHS Toll-Free: 1-877-696-6775 HHS Direct Line: 202-690-7000 PLEASE share and consider calling your senators and representatives as well. NONE of this is okay. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I know a lot of you have already heard or read about BDS Movement's call against Microsoft, and felt weird and bad about it all, but decided to move forward as normal because of some degree of ambiguity. "What service is Microsoft providing?" Here it is, clear as day. A direct line to death.

And I've obviously been saying this a lot lately, but BDS does not expect anyone to drop everything made by Microsoft all at once. They pick very specific targets in order to get as wide a coalition as possible, and in the case of Xbox, even suggest different tiers of engagement.

“I no longer have the strength to work for the media. My body is thin and I can’t work anymore.” The last journalists remaining in Gaza are near death from forced starvation. There is enough food at the border to feed the entire population for 3 months. This is genocide.

if you are a concept artist currently using Vizcom and believing that it's "just a tool", all you are doing is making absolutely certain you will shortly cease to be a concept artist

I'll be running a paid #CurseofStrahd #DnD campaign on Thursdays at 3pm EST (12pm PST, 8pm BST), and YOU can join! "Why pay to play?" you may be asking? Well, for $25 per session, you get guaranteed consistency, expertise with the rules and adventure, and passion for seeing your story unfold!

Elon saying he’s going to reprogram his chatbot’s view of history is a perfect example of why these kinds of AI products aren’t the neutral “tools” people always defend them as. They’re little political projects reflecting the ideologies of their creators

hey my hoardlings, if you could share around im trying to raise money to pay rent, I'd be incredibly grateful 🙏 🥲 ❤️

Let's have a look back at some pieces from last year's Lochtober, which I had to stop a third of the way through due to getting Covid lmao ~ 🪸🌊🦀

this is so despicable, if we thought the loneliness epidemic was already bad, now we have the richest most powerful companies encouraging loneliness. these tech CEOs want us to only have ai friends

Yes, keep bullying Ai users and let the powers that be know that it’s societally unacceptable, uncool, lame, immoral and brain rot trash consumers aren’t interested in. Above all else make it unprofitable

The comment period for this ends in 3 DAYS. Please leave a comment telling them EVERYONE should be able to get covid boosters. www.regulations.gov/commenton/FD...
