Peaceful Quiet

#KnightsofGuinevere #KoG

Digital drawing in semirealism style. Blue moonlight is cast over Andi and Frankie, who lay next to each other in bed. Frankie is asleep, jaw agape, presumably snoring.

[ID: Digital drawing. Andi stands wearing her respirator, tilting up a plastic face shield, looking in shock at something on her work bench offscreen.

#knightsofguinevere

Three pencil drawings.
First, Frankie and Andi laying down in bed. Both are asleep. Frankie snores, arms above her head, legs splayed out. Andi hugs her, curled against her chest, legs tucked in.
Second, Frankie hugs a cow from the side. Both are smiling. The cow moos contentedly.
Third, Andi's cheek has been licked by the cow. Her eyes are huge, she looks mortified. Frankie says offscreen, "Awww, she kissed you!" The cow looks pleased.

At the top of the page, are bullet point notes. They read,

"- Andi quit her engineering job in the city due to heavy metal exposure
- Saw an ad seeking agricultural engineer in the newspaper
- Moves out to the country after being hired via email
- Sparky owns the farm; Frankie (adopted daughter) is on-site mechanic, farmhand, etcetera
- Combination winery& citrus farm"

End text. Below this, a comic in pencil.

Frankie holds a beer bottle as she walks by Andi, confused.
Andi is on her knees, struggling to deal with an irrigation pump, it blasts her face with water. She yells, "I WASN'T HIRED FOR THIS!! WHAT THE FUCK!! AGHHH!!" A small text annotation reads "(tried to fix irrigation pump & made it worse.)"
Frankie notices where Andi sits, and scoops her up under the arms. Frankie holds her beer in her mouth. Andi's whole front is soaked. She yells, "Unhand me!!" while Frankie says "You were sitting in fire ants-"
A bit of time passes. Andi now has a towel, and both have a beer. Frankie says, "He asks every new hire to do that... He fucks with people on purpose." Andi responds, "Bruh." end comic

Set of pencil sketches. Frankie holds up Andi on her shoulder, both smiling; Frankie sticks her tongue out to the camera; Andi wears a welding coat, helmet visor tilted up; and Frankie watches Andi welding on a flat surface. A text annotation reads:
"GTAW - Gas Tungsten Arc Welding.
A tungsten steel, non-consumable electrode carries electrical current, while your other hand feeds in a filler rod to form the weld bead."

Frankie sits on her knees below an oak tree, contentedly picking up acorns, putting them in a woven basket.
Two comic panels below, have Andi and Sparky watching Frankie.
"What's she doing?" Andi asks.
"Some hippie shit," replies Sparky.
Andi turns, looking at him in irritated silence.
Sparky adds, looking uncomfortable, "...She makes acorn flour."

The latter three characters are dressed similarly to magical girls, to match with Mew Mew's aesthetic. Mew Mew is holding her staff with a banner attached reading "UNDERTALE", and text saying "10th Anniversary" is beside it.

This piece is for sale on my Dealer's Den.

Approximately 11 x 14 x 1 inch, it's scrap glass glued with weldbond to plywood, finished with tile grout. While the frontside is waterproof, I'd recommend this be indoors if you don't weatherproof the wood itself.

You are a big reason I got into making comics,
Making fandom AUs and OCs,
And writing stories that touch the hearts of my friends.

This world could use more MERCY. Now, and forever. Thank you for reminding us we have that option.

It is always an honor to bring you into the physical world.

Thunder @thunderworks.bsky.social · Sep 15

Dear UNDERTALE:

You have touched so many lives, friendships, SOULs.

It’s hard to believe you’re half of my lifetime ago, now. Eventually you will be two thirds, three fourths, four fifths…

Thunder @thunderworks.bsky.social · Sep 15

Happy Birthday

#undertale #mosaic #glassartist

A glass mosaic of Frisk standing in UNDERTALE’s opening area: a bed of yellow flowers, surrounded by carved white columns and dark stalactites. Above them is their SOUL, red and glowing. Above that, light shines in from Mt. Ebott’s ceiling entrance. Flowey peeks up from the bottom right corner, smiling.

Speaking on this; there's a tumblr post that PERFECTLY explains why TERFs have 'so much reach', and folk need to see it.

Stop engaging with TERFS, block them, and get them offline. Likewise, report *their* harmful comments.

Organise and be smart.

Following the previous tumblr post by khazrablood, fourohfourlifenotfound, a different user, has reblogged the post and added;

If we are ever going to stop this, then you guys need to start learning why this happens.

And it's not always because some executive made a decision to favor a TERF. It's because the technology is broken in a way TERFs have learned to use to their advantage.

So content moderation is a HUGE task. It is incredibly inefficient to manually monitor all user reports-- when you "flag" something as spam or inappropriate or 'inciting harm' (what Blueskye is saying the banned users had in their posts). So what actually happens is that the bulk of it is reviewed by machine. The precise "how" is a bit of a black box (if you say exactly, it makes it more vulnerable to being bypasses), but we generally know it's a bit of machine learning ("ai", but not he chatgpt kind) and a bit of automation. Generically this gets referred to as an "algorithm" (which is a meaningless word I don't have time to unpack here).

a continuation of khazrablood's tumblr post, reblogged and added to by fourohfourlifenotfound;

The TERFs have a formula. A battle plan, if you will. I've been watching them use it for almost a decade. And they play social media sites like a fiddle every single time.

The way it works is that they coordinate attacks on targets they dislike. (Usually trans people, but ace discourse is a notable example of targets not necessarily fitting that demographic.) They send links to each other of posts to report. They'll flag it for whatever the nearest thing they can is. The blueskye users were wishing ill to JK Rowling, so "inciting harm" was the excuse selected. "Inappropriate or sexually explicit content" is a common selection for other trans content.

Then what happens is the content moderation "algorithm" sees a huge influx of reports for a certain post or user. And instead of making a human manually review all of that, it automatically initiates a ban or takedown. And if the "algorithm" has word censorship built in, it will begin to auto-flag for things containing words in posts frequently flagged, so it begins to auto-flag the word trans itself.

The end of tumblr user fourohfourlifenotfound addition to khazrablood's original tumblr post;

This has been happening for almost a decade. There was a trans youtuber who proved TERF hater group chats flagged his videos so much that it started auto-demonitizing identical videos with the word trans in the title, but leaving ones without the word alone. I strongly suspect this is why we see huge amounts of trans women banned for no reason on tumblr. And this is clearly what is happening now.

How do we fix it? There's no easy solution. All the things about the "algorithm" that make moderation easier for the social media platforms are the exact reasons it's so difficult to defeat. It's hard to teach a machine what's a genuine flag and a malicious one. Again, it's been almost a decade since the issue was raised with youtube, and there has yet to be a solution for rooting out malicious coordinated flagging.

But here's one thing that can help: get TERFs off of social media. Stop letting them bait you into petty fights. Learn how to identify them. Block and report them.
