I am also a trans girl who could still use some help. I've gotten some gig work from a friend since losing my government job, but as all people doing freelance work know, a few gigs is not the same thing as a steady income. Anything helps. ko-fi.com/explorerrowan

theyre saying its the worst thing ive ever drawn but i have no regrets
In case it's bothering anyone, it's "Poppy & Sam"
Well, no, my friends are all artists, so they're all in the "reject nuance, LLMs are inherently evil, and can NEVER be used for good" camp. And when I say it's the capitalism making it a problem instead of the technology itself, they get mad at me.

This is the problem with every market since the US is finally a 2 tier economy.
the problem with the games market is that consumer spending in much of the west is now this insanely top-heavy game where the upper middle class are the only real spenders, in turn bottlenecking the whole industry into competing for the time of this 10% of the population with disposable income
That's what I've been trying to explain to my friends. It's not that there are no uses for them, it's that the uses are currently optimized for maximum shareholder profit, not actual progress, and that's a Problem.

Hope has nothing to do with it--DO YOUR PART!

Twitter & Truth Social are dying. Their users are used to farming outrage for engagement. Don't give them any!

Lots and lots of people have Harry Potter tattoos. And after JKR became queen of TERFs, lots of them have had them covered or removed to show they don't support her, and that's a silly pop culture thing. A Totenkopf tattoo is a whole different level, and Platner should know better.
The long and short of it is, it doesn't MATTER why Platner got a Nazi tattoo. Whether he ever believed in the ideology it represents or not doesn't matter. What matters is that he hasn't had it covered or removed in the MULTIPLE YEARS since he got it. He hasn't bothered to fix it. That's notable.

There is no rational reason why this masterpiece from Takahata is impossible to find much less purchase.

That way, she's out of the way and he can be single again in time for *ugh* Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
I agree. An Indiana Jones game where he has to thwart Sophia Hapgood's plans to, I dunno, summon the Zmei Gorynich to fuck up Russia, might be pretty interesting. It give some closure to the Sophia Hapgood plotline if she is the villain and gets eaten by a dragon she tried to control.
If people who got Harry Potter tattoos are willing to get them covered or removed now that Rowling is Queen of TERFs, there should be no reason he couldn't do the same with a symbol that's an even stronger declaration of allegiance to a toxic ideology.

Company unions drive down wages and silence workers...and the Liberals are funding them.

I’m bringing forward legislation to ban company unions and make sure every union in Canada is democratic, independent, and accountable only to workers.

No real leftist would so despise the working class that they'd imagine you can't find working class people by the dozens who never flirted with Naziism.
Can we move away from Skywalkers and Palpatines? It's an entire galaxy, so why are these two specific families the only ones that ever get to be heroes and villains?

Time to re-up one of the great quotes of all time...while the Totenkopf is in the discourse. www.huffpost.com/entry/attemp...
So... People who create Star Trek fan fic/art... Is there a specific ship name for the Beckett/D'Vana/T'lyn trio? #lowerdecks
Maybe she should have raised him to be something other than Mussolini Jr.
I swear to any god you want, @jay.bsky.team, if your team pulls some bullshit and forces us to unblock these clowns, I will never touch this site again. It was why I left twitter, and it's why I'll leave here, too.
