If you experience this like I do, remember you’re loved and talented. It’s hard to put yourself out there and get turned down. Be kind to yourself and those who had to make the hard decisions.

Know that libraries count things. How many people have cards, how many times a book or DVD or CD is checked out, etc. And then we take those numbers to our internal staff and say "look, people want this" to justify purchases, and then to local govts to say "look, we need to stay open".

“I hope your mecha franchise that’s stuck in licensing hell gets no new announcements” is nothing compared to “I hope the only new announcement from your mecha franchise that’s stuck in licensing hell is a Funko Pop collaboration”

Wish I could get into ffxiv but as an outsider I will never not find it a bit funny when ppl are like "This scene changed my life" and it's a screenshot of a catboy named granola saying "I'll never.. Give up! For my friends!" While some guy named chevrolet is like "thouest persistestest inne vaine!"

37. Pacific Drive One of my favourite games of 2024, the vibes are almost indescribable they're so good, as you're driving through a Pacific Northwest exclusion zone collecting resources to upgrade and maintain your car, and getting out before the zone becomes too unstable. Phenomenal soundtrack!

In honor of the news that @slimyswampghost.bsky.social's creation Sirenhead is getting a movie (crucially, with him involved!) here's a great interview we did a while back about the character, his work, and how the internet often tries to wrench creations away from their creators.

you show up at my carnival grounds during the off season and expect entertainment (I bite you and give you rabies) a skeb comm requested of me!! since I hardly draw my sona lmao #bat #digitalart #vgen #batticart

To my US followers, particularly the ones on the east coast like I am right now, please stay safe and please drink lots of water. Not gfuel, not gamersupps, but water. And no matter how much you have already drank, keep drinking more. It is 101 degrees outside please be safe.

oh man time to plan a day to print these out and start slapping them in the more touristy areas of town to start shaming people. I am TIRED. OF. SEEING. AI. FLYERS. JFC.

Less than 2 weeks till my birthday! And we're less than 50 followers away from my 666 goal! Can we do it? 🥺💜

🦇 QUOTE REPOST WITH YOUR OCS FOR ART FIGHT! 🦇 artfight.net/~MagicMarion...

Reposting because of the sony news

Since it's Disability Pride Month, here are reminders for supporters of disabled people: Use Alt text, It helps those with sight disabilities. DON'T SAY THE R-SLUR as it's ableist towards neurodivergent people. Help those in need, as disabled people struggle to meet their needs and find jobs.

and they said it couldn’t be replicated outside new york 😎

I've got 20 years of experience in animation/games as a producer, director, social/community & marketing manager. Since coming out as a trans woman I often get "you don't have enough experience, sorry!" in response to my applications. A cis ally advocating for me would genuinely help me get work.

When you call about this, remember that this IS the place to bring up Musk's personal child porn generator, AI's mass theft of credentials, etc etc. This solves none of those problems, and indeed only makes them 10x worse. Let them know that absolutely no one believes this is genuine

BREAKING: Pride Month Extended Indefinitely

That's crazy! Anyway, Evo is owned by the Saudi government that strangled and dismembered the journalist Jamal Khashoggi

Trans rights are human rights always and forever.

I keep seeing people thinking this is a bluesky problem. If you're seeing this it thinks you're in a state or country with age verification laws. This is what every social media site will do if KOSA and the KIDS Act succeeds. Running to another socmed won't fix it, we have to fight the source.

my neighborhood has a few signs like this and god knows as one of the few black people here i feel far more comforted seeing it than the dickwads with the maga signs.

just saw this excerpt of a ytp on tumblr and i think i've almost thrown up like 4 separate times watching it on loop. Please tell me theres a full version

Before anyone begins doomposting: There are still two stops it has to pass before it gets into law. And the senate doesn't like the House version of KOSA so there's a chance it doesn't pass. But don't just assume.

this will die in the senate again but call your reps because if this ever fully goes through the floodgates will open on censorship in ways you dont even understand yet

"Trans people will always exist." Cool. "They can't kill us all." Comforting. Yeah, transness will survive, but *I* want to survive, too, y'know? But also, survival and existence aren't enough for me anymore, and they shouldn't be enough for allies either. I want to see my trans friends thrive.

No, Twitch is not issuing any kind of reimbursement. This is a scam that appears to have vastly expanded over the last 48 hours.

forgot I had car payments so any money I would've had to get myself some art for my birthday is gone 😭 reminder that I do have a handful of services open for commissions if you don't want art I have kofi too 💜 #commissions #artcomm #vgen vgen.co/MagicMarione... ko-fi.com/magicmarione...

At least 104 Democrats vote yea to pass HR 7757. The bill passes 267-117. It now moves to the Senate, which is out until July 13th. Will post the roll call of who voted what way once it is uploaded.

The KIDS Act [containing KOSA] has passed the House This sucks, but its not the end. It still has to pass through the Senate committee and then be voted on by the Senate itself Please continue contactimg your Senators and demanding they oppose the KIDS Act & KOSA www.congress.gov/members/find...

your sad jingling fool is here artfight.net/~MagicMarion... #artfight #teamtragedy

here's a diagram

insane thing to say but i get like. protective and motherly when i see ulysses ogre. its like no sweetie you are doing a great job! ogre is keeping up so well! that english lit degree is well earned!

Please follow the instructions to contact your representative and tell them to vote NO on the KIDS Act. The US House will vote on it at 6:30 PM on Monday. There is no time to waste. The free internet is at stake. See replies for how to look up your representative.

Call your Reps, even if they're not there right now you can leave a message, trust me, they do see those. You don't have to be eloquent, you don't have to make a good argument, this isn't debate club, just say "Vote No on this bill," and that's all you need.

The oldest known instance of the "Cool S", a symbol of unknown origin, on a tenth century Viking runestone. This sigil has persisted through the centuries and is still found today. Scholars believe its origin is unrelated to the letter S, and that it may have originally been part of a ritual.

Reminder that there will be motion on KOSA and the KIDS ACT on monday Please contact your representatives literally right now of you can and demand censorship/surveillance legislation be opposed

Get on the horn with your reps. Just called @padilla.senate.gov @schiff.senate.gov and @friedman.house.gov with opposition to these bills. If you're afraid of talking with a staffer — and you shouldn't be, they're mostly interns — weekend is a perfect time because it's just voicemail.

Frankly, this is a five-alarm fire type of bill. This bill will destroy free speech online and surrender our rights to Trump on a silver platter. Reps have left DC for the week, but their offices should be open for another ~20 minutes. Call today if you can and/or first thing Monday morning.

Art from tonight's stream~ Doing some experimenting! Don't know if the yellow will stick, but still had fun, and felt pretty brisk 🍋
