not beating the “AI art is lazy” allegations

perhaps it’s naive of me to hope that the Magica Riot books can break into the more anime-only magical girl fandom circles and give folks something fun and emotional to read even if they aren’t big readers, but that’s something I will keep pushing for

If you don't get that the "yucky porn games" are the gateway to censor further media that YOU personally think is acceptable, you need to get your head out of your ass. They're trying to divide people into smaller groups so their collective power is also smaller. Kill the cop in your head.

I am not "straight with extra steps* I am a whole ass lesbian. It's always the cishets who say that crap too

Here are some mid/post-TFy sketches I made from an old Drawpile way way back- a Rinpu "Katt" Chuan from Breath of Fire II and a Sally Acorn from Archie Sonic. #transformation #transfur

You should always make a new group chat when one of your polycule/teammates joins the Evil Space Aliens trying to conquer the Earth

The only reason I got a new phone recently is because my new plan just arbitrarily said "your phone not work sorry get new one". No reason why. They just decided it. My old one was only 5 years old and aside from low storage space (which an SD card should have been able to fix) worked great.

God I'm so sick of how "Activist" is used to un-person trans people.

“Never played it never will!” - Not the point. “Garbage game, who cares.” NOT THE POINT! “Only losers play it anyway.” NOT! THE! POINT! The point is SOLIDARITY with trans people - specifically the trans women who are target by HP’s creator - and holding those who claim to be allies accountable!

when we say we want more streets to be pedestrianized, this is what we mean

Also, please don't give @phillipsevy.bsky.social and @hackintimseeley.bsky.social death threats. One, that is NOT okay. Two, it gives them cover to misdirect the conversation about what they did to, "We're the victims."

Today’s xkcd made me cry. In a good way. xkcd.com/3172/

One of those 'I started so I'm going to finish it' ones. Very happy with how it came out!

so if i understand this correctly, gaines has made her career by publicly calling trans athletes predators and threats to women while completely failing to ever mention even once that her mentor/college swimming coach was sexually assaulting and harassing women on the team while she was there?

Mastercard is bleeding, get in there. Make some calls. Get some cool family members in on it over thanksgiving

Seeing how much of the right-wing on Twitter is just bot farms, kinda lays bare how much hate and hatred is a project that needs to be constantly maintained, a fire that needs to be fed all the time lest it go out for a moment, so much time, effort, and resources to keep people angry and hateful.

Incidentally, theft like this is why there won’t be a second Steelflower trilogy, why the Bannon & Clare series was canceled by the publisher, and why I will never do another collected SquirrelTerror book.

*This* guy is pontificating about the Uniform Code? THIS GUY?? ...I can *hear* @peter.petermorwood.com guffawing in the Afterlife. 😏

Let's Keep Calling!

this is such a depressing read. studios are happy to exploit the labour and creativity of women & queer people & poc but then turn around and sacrifice them to a baying mob of bad actors who they believe are their core audience. did we learn no lessons from gamergate?

DREAMWAVE TRANSFORMERS ENERGON ISSUES 31 AND 32 With huge thanks to Simon Furman and Alex Milne for their assistance, TFNation is thrilled to be able to share reconstructed issues of two lost comic books with the world! tfnation.com/blog/mi... #Transformers #TFNation

And once you're on these people's radars, you don't leave it. Either they keep tabs on you, or their fans do it for them, and any chance they can use your name for content (money) they do it. Stand up for your employees.

"Death of the artist" means when Amy Tan says "I did not intentionally put numerological symbolism in Joy Luck Club" you can go "ok but unconscious-you is very clever and it's in there anyhow." It does not mean "it doesn't matter if JKR is a terrible person."

‘Do you think we ever met in a past life?’ You ask, smiling like you enjoy the notion. I think I’ve loved you in every single one. This feeling feels ancient, rooted into my soul. But what I say is: ‘I don’t know. But I’ll find you in the next one so I can annoy you some more.’

Were you listening to me, Charlie Brown? Or were you looking at the woman in the red dress?

american oligarchs uniformly abandoned a lifetime of democratic support because it was easier for them to believe that “based meme” accounts run by czechoslovakian teens were proof of a mass populist movement in service to elon musk than face the hard truth that most people hate their fucking guts

Fanart done! :D

whenever a good new reactor starts rwby i always love witnessing the journey of them getting to experience all these canon bee events in real time

Some of us have been advocating this going back since chatGPT launched. It also has other benefits: correcting someone else's work is actually a really good way to learn something yourself.

It's not stranger than fiction. This is the plot of Highlander fucking 2.

Had some privileged friends who had fun at Wizarding World in Universal. Without trying to fight, I said I couldn't buy any of HP stuff given what we know about JK now. They tried to dismiss it like, "Well, it's not like we're agreeing with her." I said, "She says your money makes her think you do."

every social media company is bad but Meta really is uniquely evil

Twitter now displays where accounts are from and it has confirmed that too many of the political accounts are out of country bots. Why are folks still there? To argue with bots? A waste of precious time while enriching the richest man on Earth. Delete your account.

#botaday Rodimus. Another great new design debuting in the Classics line is this rendition of Hot Rod/Rodimus. He turns into a flame-deco'ed and modified Dome Zero prototype sports car. He was available in 2006.

If you have been sharing that Malwarebytes article on the Gmail thing, you should note the giant correction up top. www.malwarebytes.com/blog/news/20...

the reason 101 dalmations looks like that is because disney incorporated xerography (ie early photocopying technology) into the animation process. rough pencils (by mostly male animators) were copied onto the cels so that disney could fire the (mostly female) inkers. remember that art can lie to you

Massive shoutout out to whoever handles the Royal Canadian Air Force’s social media account. They responded to every single comment on their already very solid Trans Day of Remembrance post and they responded like this…

PayPal has rolled out a new "feature" that prompts you to leave feedback about an artist that you've commissioned via invoice. Whatever you do, DO NOT fill this out! To quote Admiral Ackbar, "IT'S A TRAP!!!" It is meant to misguide you. (continue...)

Further information on why this could potentially be a whistleblowing feature for NSFW businesses, the comments on this post have been slowly whittling down the people who are affected/able to see/turn off this feature as "Only Business accounts in the United States". ...Which is telling, I feel.
