People who think the idea of "give me ideas" is something genuinely creative people want have literally never experienced the absolute EUPHORIA of a brainstorming breakthrough, either solo or with a human collaborator. They don't understand what is happening when artists create, on a basic level.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

porn is not evil.
sex is not evil.
pleasure is not evil.
kink is not evil.

none of them are things to feel shame or embarrassment about.

none of them deserve the heavy-handed censorship that they're facing.

resist oppression (even if you don't partake in what is being oppressed)

So for some reason AO3 is not taking my Dropbox link to display art…

Ethel did art for Natsume from "Still Evolving" and I'd reserved it for when she debuted in this chapter, and here it is so I can have a working link for the dang fic to display her ^^;

People really act like they're gonna melt and scromit and be permanently spiritually stained if characters are shown to have a sexuality, be interested in sex, engage in sex at any level in media. Literally the most repressive and repressed shit in living memory.

Duskull is amazing. I love Dusclops, too, but Dusknoir can just go away.

…at least it enables Eviolite Dusclops tho.

So the lovely @ethanppj.bsky.social finished a commission of one of my oldest OCs, Nadine!

She's in the fics technically, but she'll show up more as time goes on.

She wears colored contacts and is not a fan of her base eye color. Also I do not advise telling her she looks cute in glasses.

Yesterday a roller coaster.

Found out a friend and longtime client nuked his Discord. Looking into that set off a series of events that got me talking to Becca again, and I am so relieved. 💙

As for YerDon4… I hope you're okay. This dark corner of the 'net's a little less bright without you.

These people like their standards so much that they decided to double them.

A lovely reminder that Ko-Fi commissions from the immensely talented Ethel Winters are inexpensive, high quality, and go to help out people I love dearly.

If you haven't, you should check them out!

Part of why capitalism in it's current form is incompatible with Democracy, it works hand in hand with authoritarianism because there is greater 'profit'.

When calling your reps denanding they block/repeal age/ID laws, mentioning how many of these laws on fact BLOCK CSA victins from support is something you should do!

We can "think of the children" right back at them

Iwanko 🔞 STOP ALL porn bans! @rockywanker.bsky.social · 16d

To give you an idea of how much they "care" about protecting children online.

Out of all states that have approved an age/ID verification bill, none have exemptions for CSA victims to access support groups. MO only forces adult sites to show a helpline number.

Map of the United States.
Colors for bill consequences:
In red: Risk of chilling effect, children may be blocked off CSA and self harm support groups.
In purple: Has limited mention for support networks, but no exemptions.

Colors for status:
In green: Bill blocked in this session.
In yellow: Pending.
In gray: No active bill in this session.
