Since MB doesn't seem active on here and it's worth seeing a crosspost

Screenshot reading: "They come for porn first because it's one of the easiest things to vilify and the most embarrassing to defend. Because so many of us will automatically laugh at anyone saying 'my inability to purchase/access tentacle hentai is a serious threat to free speech' even when it 100% is"

Screenshot reading: "Have concerns about the Orwellian digital ID pilot program? Good to know you support child predators. Don't think two private companies should have unilateral say over what kind of art can or can't be sold? Touch grass, gooner. A few thought-terminating cliches end all arguments. You have to fight back now, you have to fight back hard, and you have to fight for the stuff you think is gross and creepy and stupid, because the taboo topics you care about are next"

Figure I may as well spread the word on this as if there wasn't enough shit to worry about: They're trying to pass SOPA again under the guise of the BlockBEARD bill and some other bills.

it appears that @bsky.app have suspended the account of @jessiegender because a trans person saying "I wish ill on JK Rowling" is against the rules, so let me say with my loud cis voice that I too wish ill on all perpetrators of hate speech against trans people

reinstate Jessie, this is ridiculous

Does ChatGPT even do it accurately? ChatGPT only really does natural sounding text generation well, it's pretty notorious for getting facts wrong all the time, including some hilarious examples of it getting math wrong.

Going to the library fucking rules. You can walk in and pick your favorite things and then walk right out without paying anything. It's unbelievable and 100% the kind of thing that won't exist in the future unless you recognize the goodness now before it's too late

Hey, as a librarian I need to tell you:

Our funding depends on usage.

So go ahead and check out that book even if you don't think you'll finish it. No one will know. Check out that DVD even though you might not like it. Get ambitious in your quest for knowledge.

You aren't worthless, not to me. But I get it! I honestly think horror and exhaustion is a reasonable response to...everything going on. If you need to talk, I'm here.

Sketch [they/them] @sketchyjessie.com · Aug 14

It sucks!!! I hate it. It feels like so much of society expects an unsustainable level of effort. It's hard not to feel like a thing to be used, something only valued for what others can take from you. I know people care, I care, but I'm afraid I'll be ground up in the metaphorical cogs anyway.

I like you guys better than the other website so I’m going to share some sketches I’ve done of her in hopes people draw her for lesbian reasons

iron man and doctor doom of marvel comics as women with doom grabbing stark’s face and scolding her but looking suspiciously like they’re going to kiss. or fight. or both

iron man as a woman holding Madame masque touching the lips on her faceplate with her own helmet off dipping her backwards with a hand on her ass

anyone up for a #ditys challenge 👉🏻👈🏻

three full body poses of Tony Stark aka Iron Man of Marvel comics genderbent into a woman in a midcentury modern inspired retro cartoon style in her civilian outfit holding a briefcase, in a 60s style retro cartoon dress reminiscent of the model 3 armour with a Madame masque inspired spiked faceplate and in the armour from the neck down with her hair exposed coming all the way down to her waist

a meme image that says ‘draw this in your style’ with an arrow pointing at the other image I’ve posted for the DITYS challenge

The AI policies a bit back were genuinely so tone deaf. Like DeviantArt had issues for a while, but that was the nail in the coffin for me. Of all spaces for that to happen, the space specifically for artists is an especially grim one.

I'm seeing less posts about the Visa and Mastercard situation and I want to make it plain as day. You need to keep calling and bothering them, and losing them money.

Because if we lose this, they are going to cut more and more from what's available until you can only buy what they approve of.

Spoke with an anon source who had an interesting insight into Visa policy. Per a convo with their bank on the Steam/itchio situation today, Visa put new restrictions into place due to a new "government policy." The exact phrase used by Visa. No specific country was listed as the source of the policy

Sharing this here for fun, wrote a rough #shadowvanilla fic based on them being possessive. But honestly the result is very fluffy, also features a lot of my beast-related HCs. archiveofourown.org/works/685015...
