Alex Pretti was an American hero. He saved lives. He protected people. He cared deeply about his community, unlike the murderous thugs who killed him.

The very last thing he did was try to help a woman who had been pepper-sprayed and violently shoved to the ground by ICE. 1/

Transphobia is a cancer of the heart and mind.

It is a useless fear, based on ignorance and cruelty.

Trans people are not responsible for a single one of the problems we face.

Do the world a favor and grow the fuck up.

Sunrise palate cleanser:

I just did this survey. They want to start incorporating AI, and they’re trying to “just ask questions” their way into it. I hate this.

If you're a Patreon creator who hasn't received the AI survey, request it through their support ticket:

support.patreon.com/hc/en-us/req...

If you did receive it already, please do it.
Make it clear you don't want AI on the platform in any way.

I don't know if it's being sent at random, but I got an email survey from Patreon. And I never miss an opportunity to yell.

It's all about AI.

They very much want to use AI.
They very much want to use your art to train AI.
They could not broadcast more clearly how much they want a piece of that AI

I’ll say it right now: if Patreon implements AI, I’ll leave. Right away.
Even if I’ve been building my page there for 4+ years.
I’d rather sell my NPC art packages on my own site, than let Patreon use my work to train AI.
They already take lots of my money without offering nearly enough in exchange.

This says so very much, so very well. youtube.com/shorts/RF53e...
