I am Aura, just a soul who lurks in the shadows.
Character artist who creates for fun and likes to craft lore.
Hsien-Ko, Mei-Ling, and Frye Onaga mean the world to me.
Splatoon and Salmon Run are my jam.

Heyo traveler, the name is Aura. 👋🙂
I am a character artist who has 3 mythos they dabble in when the mood is right.🧐
Don't expect too much in terms of me waffling about stuff. I will speak when I feel like it, share art I make and buy when I can, and keep up with friends here.🫡

The Jay Treaty is bedrock stuff, 227 years old, absolutely incontrovertible, and anyone questioning it should be disbarred
I’m not sure how much notice this has received but the Assembly of First Nations in Canada has issued a travel advisory for the United States after reports that Indigenous people are being increasingly questioned and detained by ICE. www.instagram.com/p/DT-_SacDEH...

Utah lawmakers asked for a review of studies on gender-affirming care's effects on trans youth after passing a "moratorium." Records show they planned on publicly discussing the report — until it concluded the care is largely found to have positive outcomes.
Now, they're pushing a permanent ban.

Utah lawmakers sweep their own study on care for trans kids under the rug as they push to ban it
As Utah's lawmakers move to ban gender-affirming care for transgender kids, they've avoided discussing a report they commissioned on the issue that says care helps kids.

Alex Pretti is a hero and he was killed for his antifascist action.
Honor the martyrs & fight for the living.

News Movement posted this video of Alex Pretti on Jan 13, showing him spitting at ICE agents and kicking their taillight.
Now conservatives are suggesting this changes things.
That would mean they are suggesting he deserved to be target of an extrajudicial execution.
The video changes nothing.

ICE & CBP never left Los Angeles. In fact, today the feds set a daily record for number of kidnappings.
Do not fall for the trap of “X says they’re leaving the city.” LA may have disappeared from the headlines but it’s still going on. We must continue to organize & fight back. Solidarity 🖤

Whenever I see people referencing/using a character or series for progressive protest, I am affirmed in the importance of fiction as a tool for change.
An unidentified man dressed in a Batman costume angrily confronted Santa Clara city officials during a joint meeting of the City Council, city authorities, and the Santa Clara Stadium Authority on Monday, using his public comment to condemn the city’s stance on cooperation with ICE.

If you work in journalism: you cannot use machine learning to upscale a photo and still be telling the truth. It WILL lie, even if you don't intend to tell one.
It can only do what it does by inventing details where none exist, which means it will inherently be misrepresenting reality.

Unfriendly reminder, AI is being used to destroy trust. Do not normalize the use of AI. AI can not reliably enhance videos or low-quality images.
This is the quiet replacement of reality. Do not let this be normalized.
