Please help our friend @maedayj.bsky.social stay housed!
Mae's younger brother passed away late last month.
She had to work on the final arrangements.
Please help, everything for November and December needs to be in on time, no extensions, et al.
If you can't help, please share!

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, I would have you remember that there are trans people alive who need your action now, not your reflective words later.

Remembering us is not enough.

Good literary translation requires understanding (language, culture, genre--on both sides of the translation) and an ability to write well. "AI" can't do that. There are no shortcuts. Treat your work and foreign language readers with the respect they deserve. You won't fool anyone with this.

Yeah so.

My food stamps are discontinued, and my car has died.

I just wanna eat and provide for Ichiban, so if you can help out I would appreciate it. I also have a lot of overdue bills that have piled up as well—everything is just a lot right now and I could use some assistance.

No donations in days. I now have to get an MRI to check on spinal cord damage progression so we know how to treat a new symptom. it may be my last chance to get one with what's about to happen.

I mean, I know THIS is true, but disabled LGBTQ folks need mutual aid:

I'm prioritizing time with my family right now, but I would like to see as many of my local friends as possible while I'm home in NYC for the next two weeks. If you have my number (it's still the same one) you can text me. Thanks y'all.

So many artists, writers, and designers I know have learned this lesson the tedious way, so let me co-sign this and say not only is it a huge waste of time and labor to listen to the "I'd buy that" crowd online, you will also lose money. Make what *you* want to make, everything else is noise
maskenjager.bsky.social Masken 🦊🎨 @ J-Touch Lyon @maskenjager.bsky.social · 20d
The biggest thing i've learned as an artist who sells prints and merch is don't make what people ask for. They won't buy it. Make what you, the artist, want to see printed on the support of ur choice.
I can't explain why but THAT'S what will sell. People who buy the most are the silent ones. 🫶
davechisholmcomics.com Dave Chisholm @davechisholmcomics.com · 20d
Remember, artists: when people say, “I’d buy a print of this,” they don’t mean it. That sentence itself is just a weird compliment that rarely converts to an actual print sale. It’s like if someone ate a very good hot dog and then said, “I could eat 10,000 of these right now.”

Stop sharing AI slop.

It's one thing if you don't know or just made a mistake. No need to breathe down someones neck b/c its harder to tell nowadays.

But if you do know (ESPECIALLY IF YOU DO KNOW) even if you're posting it to make fun of it or sharing it unironically... consider not doing that.

I'm already seeing people saying that if OpenAI goes down it'll be the fault of authors and publishers, as opposed to actually blaming Sam Altman and OpenAI for BREAKING THE DANG LAW!

It’s been a pleasure working with Lex and everyone in the politics vertical at Teen Vogue. I’m heartbroken that my column, Disability Visibility, is gone. Teen Vogue was one of the few places that published disabled journalists regularly. I just spent the last 2 months working on my next column
lexmcmenamin.com Lex McMenamin (they/them) @lexmcmenamin.com · 22d
I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

I had to fly home on short notice for a family funeral. The ONLY flight from Bangkok to NYC for under $500 necessitated a 14 hour layover in Manila. I'm telling you right now, it was not worth it. Learn from my mistake!!!

Illustration of the fellowship from the Fourth Age actual play. They are at a high altitude looking down into a valley with a river. From left: Theodas (bald elf, many scars, dark beard, golden interlocking armor, dull blue cape); Iairen (elf, medium brown skin, kinky brown hair with undercut and half up style, blue robes, holding a blue palantir); Mistiel (elf with dark brown skin, copper cape, long white box braids half up, golden armour); Eona (human, dark brown long hair with golden scales woven through, leathers and cape, holding a sword); Chicory (hobbit-elfish, lilac dress, pale skin, brown hair in loose waves, holding a wooden staff that crooks over and holds a glowing white stone); Aerlind (elf, dark hair, blue fine outfit, tanned skin, east asian features, holds an astrolabe in one hand). An alabaster gargoyle and a feminine figure dressed in black robes with their faces shadowed by hoods. The pair are within a gothic styled church, standing before an altar on a dais, preaching to spectators behind the POV. Candles cast plenty of light in the room despite the flames being purple, and all the decorations and the architecture is gothic in design. They look as though they are in the middle of performing a sermon in unison Illustration of Dawes 'Rook' Mercar (human, olive skin, short dark hair, blue outfit, green eyes) and Lace Harding (dwarven woman, freckled, pale skin, red hair, leather pants and white shirt). The pair are painted in a pink tint, and the background is barren and monochromatic. They are clutching each other and staring defiantly to the right of the composition. Illustration of a drow standing in front of a large white snake with wings. The drow has long white hair and dark green clothing with copper accents. He holds a dagger above his head with blue magic arcing between the blade and his hand. They are in the Underdark, with blue spores and mushrooms surrounding them.
