🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈I dream of the day when the world can become a place where transgender people can live proudly and freely as themselves, and where they can love freely As a mascot, I see human love as beautiful and wonderful. I love you all today as well♡

“I trust my immune system. I don’t need a vaccine.” Ok, I trust mine to protect me too. Which is why I trained it extensively on what the virus looks like so it can handle it. Boxers don’t enter the ring without a plan. It’s the punch you don’t see coming that knocks you out.

🚨 EVERYONE PLEASE RESKEET THIS FOR VISIBILITY!!! 🚨 A big coalition of LGBTQ+, abortion access, and human rights groups led by @fightforthefuture.org are organizing a WEEK OF ACTION this week against online ID checks, aka "age verification" laws. Join us: www.fightforthefuture.org/actions/stop...

An anonymous Japanese game studio is making applicants draw in front of them during interviews to prove they don't use generative AI 🎮 “Only human creators can produce compelling characters and graphics from scratch”

The death of browsing is part of the reason art is the way it is now. Our opinions are largely fed to us by algorithms. Spending a spare 15 minutes wandering around a bookstore or comic shop or video rental place was how you found stuff you wouldn't ordinarily pick up and thereby expanded your taste

Maybe instead of committing atrocities, we could just make the rich pay their fair share and have universal healthcare and affordable housing instead. Idk, just spitballing here.

Maybe if they pull stuff like this, just maybe, they should lose the license to that property, and it should go somewhere else where it'll actually be well taken care of.

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

"what if my art skill isnt good enough to give justice to the thing i want to make : (" redraw it. redraw it every month if you want. just redraw it forever. let it be your familiar redraw

It’s actually up to governments to regulate AI and stop it from destroying lives.

No vote today and there's still a lot of disagreement on these bills, but I wouldn't be complacent. Republicans say they're looking to "shoehorn" in KOSA, SCREEN or other restrictions into the must-pass defense bill coming up later this month. Make noise. There's poison in the sausage.

Jeff Bezos and the Washington Post are at it again.

*URGENT CALL TO ACTION** Xinachtli's health continues to decline and his life hangs in the balance. After the devastating loss of Jamil Al-Amin, we cannot afford to lose another revolutionary to the jaws of the state. Plz sign up for a phone shift TODAY! bit.ly/xphoneblast

This is DEFCON 1 priority, y'all. Call your senators, reps, call your friends and tell them to call their senators and reps about this. Call your grandma and tell her to call her senators and reps about this. What we have here will be *gone* if these bills pass.

Almost 100% of this is the government realizing that if young people can see their war crimes and etc they will turn against the endless war machine that is the United States and its economy. The rest is a desire to make queer people vanish and queer kids be tortured in silence

GOOD JOB EVERYONE!! ……now let’s bully them en español. Spanish speaking fans deserve better than this shit

Sure, they've made an environmentally catastrophic mass hallucination disinformation plagiarism Clippy that will destabilize the world, but also their other goal is to replace human workers entirely and let us humans starve. A boycott of AI is the most important boycott of your entire life.

We are actually doing something. DON'T STOP CALLING.

: )

As someone who works in the tech industry--absolutely. They are testing the waters. These are top-down orders. The ONLY way to stop it is a visceral negative reaction. Write articles. Post your rage. Email. Post. @. All those things. Only you have the power to kill it.

On this day, Indigenous people and allies confront the settler-colonial narratives of “Thanksgiving,” observing it instead as a National Day of Mourning.

Time once again to rep my favorite place for giving: anelder.org - they supply food, firewood and supplies for traditional crafting to Navajo Elders. If you have the cash, please give these folks a hand.

As you’re preparing for your Thanksgiving meal, remember the skilled work it took to get that food to your grocery store. Tell us your favorite Thanksgiving dish, and we can share some of what we know about the work behind the ingredients.

This Black Friday and Cyber Monday don’t buy into genocide. Avoid these brands enabling Israel’s ongoing genocide against 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza. https://loom.ly/TpPQsDY

🚨 Yet again Ted Cruz and Steve Scalise are trying to sneak in a moratorium on state GenAi legislation. If passed states can no longer enact laws for transparency, child safety, privacy, environmental protection etc. We got 3 days to stop this. Call now! www.senate.gov/senators/sen...

authors you have the chance to do the funniest thing right now

I want art thats made by people, because i want to connect with people. I don't care if that art is made for personal reasons or for a coca cola commercial, i want to see art and think about the person who made it. How they got here. why they became an artist. What inspires them. idk.

My new favorite kind of meme is "here are detailed instructions on how to turn off AI". 🔨

Sketch vs final #pixelart

No one “deserves” to starve or be denied healthcare. The richest country in the world can easily provide for all, and people shouldn’t have to prove they matter to be fed, housed & cared for. It’s past time for a universal basic income, universal healthcare, affordable housing & food.

two boycotts are better than one
