I've seen some reactions from struggling artists along the lines of 'I give up' and I feel your pain—but please do not. Most people don't want to live in a world where artists are automated away, art production is captured by AI firms. Most people hate this idea. Organize. Build solidarity. Fight.

Packing orders this morning then I'm off to get more kitten food before the auto order was set to refill because these boys be growing! Also they just turned 6 months old 🥰🎉

"why do you reskeet yourself so often it reeks of a desperate need for attention" we are using social media

Look at my silly girl. 🖤

Here’s one of two oil miniatures I painted on the back of MtG proofs for this year’s charity auction at Commander Sealed. This year it’s benefiting the Trevor project and Trans Lifeline. The auction ends on Sunday, September 7. Here is the link: event.auctria.com/bd2d4cc2-fc1...

You want marketing for your game/book/thing? Go commission an artist to do some fanart of it. Like give them some materials and then let them draw whatever fanart they want, cute doodles, a big finished illustration, whatever. This is so woefully underutilized!! I want to do this lol

NJ students in grades 6-12 will now learn about “the history of organized labor, notable strikes throughout history, unionization drives, and the collective bargaining process and existing legal protections in the workplace.” This is genuinely so important, and so good to see. Jersey strong, baby!!

A small illustration since I plan to now devote more time to comic-style and plot things with Avis 🗡️💙 #oc | #dnd | #bg3

We took the paywall down on this one. defector.com/how-the-fuck...

Selectively revoking constitutional rights for vulnerable minority groups is a GIGANTIC red flag. The reddest possible flag.

I will die on this hill but the more "realistic" the graphics look the less I want to play the game ever. Give me weird lil guys, give me unnatural colors, give me landscapes and environments that feel like a fever dream, give me a style that is actually MEMORABLE

I realized I hadn't posted a Rainbow Rule slide on Bluesky yet, so I wanted to fix that. Treat others as they want to be treated. If you don't know how they want to be treated, just ask them. It really is that simple. #RainbowRule #TransPeopleBelongEverywhere

Trans friends and family - I love you so much. We're going to get through this. Also a reminder that they target the racialized members of our community first. We white trans people must protect our racialized siblings, always.

Just want to say thank you to all the cis folks out there standing up for us, especially those of you who are doing so despite being marginalized yourselves. We see you, and we appreciate you so, so much. 💙

everything is hard and keeps getting harder but sometimes... u get to draw a puppie

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey condemns anti-trans hate in wake of school shooting, calls for unity: “Anybody who is using this as an opportunity to villainize our trans community or any other community out there has lost their sense of common humanity” #NOH8

In a functional government, this would be a five alarm fire where Congress calls in Kennedy and asks him what the fuck is going on

Cis people: This is where you fucking step up. Do everything you can to support trans people in the coming days. You're going to hear horrible, hurtful rhetoric about us. Shut it down. Don't let it stand. And buy the trans people in your life a drink.

this is what a labor action looks like. (or one thing it looks like.)

A progressive Democrat flipped a staunchly Republican seat in *Iowa*— won it by 10 points, in fact— by running *As A Progressive* focusing on issues of education, and making housing, child care, and health care affordable. Stop running to the right. Stay left, and fight.

Trans people still make up a lower percentage of mass shooters than we do of the general population.

Let's go file some claims then

Kyle McCarley, the original dub actor for Mob in Mob Psycho 100, was recast for season 3 because Crunchyroll wasn't willing to have a single conversation with SAG-AFTRA.

🚨 The CDC as we know it is being severely altered tonight. In addition to the CDC director being ousted, the Post is reporting that several senior leaders are leaving as well. Here are from two of the resignations:

If you 100% complete Jingle Cats, you're rewarded with a mysterious password. Not even Japanese fans seem to know what to do with it.

Some people don't feel as close to this as they ought to. Most of us are just a bad break or two away from winding up on the streets, and addiction & mental health crises can affect anyone. They're gutting services and rendering more of us disposable, and there's a carceral disposal system waiting.

on the bright side i got out of the house for a bit and got a couple stickers from @meeksnpoke.bsky.social for my laptop

Fun stats here for Saturn likers with Japanese top 100 sales numbers taken from a March 2000 Dreamcast magazine. there's more than a 2x gap between first and second place! Fewer than half the top 100 titles came out in the west! Lots to look at here.
