there’s this weird idea a lot of people seem to have about how all of us writers and artists must secretly want to use AI and are merely resisting temptation for ethical reasons, and like, no, it’s not hard for me to resist drinking the bowl of Piss With Glass In It actually

Most players don’t know this, but games with save points are designed to sense when you’re sneaking in a quick play session. When that triggers the game drops in many important cutscenes and puts the next save point an unreachable distance away.

This is to punish you for your indolence.

Chiitan has a dream.
I hope that one day the term LGBT will become a thing of the past.
I will continue to spread my message until we live in a world where everyone can love freely and is free from persecution and discrimination.
Until then, let's all support each other🤍

I want to be clear that in this scenario, he is never seen without his fursuit. Nobody even knows what he looks like, and anyone who tries to ‘unmask’ him gets absolutely stomped out by his fans.

Bigots love using furries as an ad absurdum argument against trans people’.

They NEVER do that when they talk about trans people in sports. That’s because we all know that if there was a guy dressed as a jaguar, tornado kicking his way to the UFC championships we’d elect him president.

Photo of a classic gothic lolita coord with the interior of the Cologne cathedral. Wearing a black headdress with bows on the sides. Long natural red hair frames the face. A mocha coloured satin Motie blouse with matching jabot with black laces which covers the neckline of a black Alice and the Pirates jsk. The skirt has a beige/brown windowed print, picturing scenes from Romeo and Juliet. Frilly black bloomers are visible from underneath the skirt. Holding a black purse in the right hand, and black otk socks and pointed toe Dr. Marten lace up shoes are also worn.

I will forever beat the drum that Shakespeare only feels unintelligible to most people because their only interaction with it was when their high school English teacher made their bored, borderline illiterate classmates read it out loud in class.

Performance matters. It matters a LOT.

ME: Now Mom, just remember, there's a lot of disinformation and AI in your social feed and your friends' Facebook.
MOM: I know! My friend sent me this crazy post where someone used AI to make an image of a giant frog fighting Army troops!
ME: ... okay, no, that one's ... goddamit, Portland.

#KnightsOfGuinevere #art

digital illustration of guinevere from knights of guinevere. she is the head and torso of a doll with an empty expression and messy shaved blue hair. she is laying in a bunch of pale periwinkle irises, in a pointed frame, with bunches by either side of her head. There's bright blue viney guts coming out of the bottom of her ribcage.

These clowns have a budget bigger than the entire USMC and they're terrified of a guy in a frog costume.

While I've never had it confirmed in any way, I will go to my grave convinced that this factored into the decision making for canceling two Popular Superhero Games that were already publicly announced.

Shit’s fucked, here’s my Folsom Street Fair party outfits. Go connect with your community IRL whenever possible.

A pair of people in black skirts, thigh highs and matching crop tops. They have matching black and wigs and devil horns. It’s cute.

A generfluid person wearing a combination of black lingerie and leather harnesses. They have a white mug that says ‘Chaotic Neutral’ on it.

Gavin Newsom fucking sucks, part MCXVII

he still has until the end of the week for the rest of the bills so unfortunately it’s time to suck it up, call his office, and politely ask this living hairpiece to do the bare minimum to protect the most vulnerable among us
