#pixelflotilla
As Italy goes on strike, we all stand with Sumud, with humanity, against the g3nocide and corrupt politicians. Together we sail. I know for sure that some heroes definitely like One Piece.

If you want to join the flotilla as a collab, more details in the first comment.

A top down pixel art of the Going Merry Ship from One Piece, sailing calmly through the waves. The Strawhat jolly roger waves gently at the very top of the mainmast. A Palestine flag waves atop the rear mast, where a red, white and green sail is also found right below. Many green, red, white and black triangular flags are tied to the ropes all around.
The crew can be spotted all around: Sanji is looking at a watermelon crate, possibly thinking of new recipes. Tony Tony Chopper is strolling happily down the staircase in the deck. Zoro is taking a nap at the bottom of the main mast. Nico Robin is relaxed, leaning on the main central deck railing and watching the waves, with a book by her side. Nami is looking towards the horizon from the bow deck where Usopp can be found as well, busy with ship's reparations. Luffy is sitting atop the sheep figurehead, with his arms stretched, hugging the giant watermelon he is enthusiastically eating.

Enemmän tätä!

Isänmaallisuus on myötätuntoa Äiti Maata kohtaan. Se on halua vaalia omaa elinympöristöään ja ylläpitää avointa yhteisöä.

Viha, pensankatku ja välinpitämättömyys ovat jotain ihan muuta, lähinnä vastaan kaikkea sitä, mitä Isänmaa ja Äiti Maa tarvitsevat.

"Ympäristöaktivistit 60-luvulta tähän päivään ovat saavuttaneet asioita, joita kuvaisin mieluiten sanalla isänmaallinen. Hyvin harvan kansalaisen mielestä Kuusamon koskien tai Kuhmon, Kuusamon ja Inarin vanhojen metsien puolesta taisteleminen oli virhe." yle.fi/a/74-2019103...

If you’d like to help me out a little right now I’d really appreciate it

May “Bunny” Peterson 🦄 (Mostly Updates ) @goddessblade.bsky.social · 8d

Hi all,

I need to ask for help again. I have some longer-term goals to work toward paying off, and if I want to keep my website active, it's definitely going to be hard to make rent this month. We'd be grateful for any shares and donations. Thank you all so much. ❤️

Just now

Hi everyone,

I've been going over our money situation, and here's where I'm at: I still owe about $1300 in back taxes, and I miscalculated my website renewal fee, which is about $360. There's a $240 bill I thought was going to be covered by insurance, too, but seems not to have been. If I keep my website active this month, I'm definitely going to be short on rent.

What makes all of this so tough is that in addition to being functionally unable to work for most of the summer, I was really hoping to be reimbursed by now for the nearly $3000 that we lost earlier this year due to a billing error. But I still haven't seen any of that money, and am worried now we may never get it back.

I'm setting a somewhat ambitious longer-term crowdfund goal of about $2450 for now, with the hope that I can raise enough to make ends meet this month and then start paying off the rest.

Thankfully, my mental health seems to be slowly but steadily improving, which means I should be able to bring in more money next month, but it's been a rough time getting there.

Any donations of any size would be hugely helpful right now. You all have been positively heroic in helping my partner and me keep a roof over our heads, and in being a light of hope for me while I've worked my way out of suicidal depression. Bear God also wants you all to know how sincerely and deeply they appreciate everything you've done for us.

As always—my blessings are on you, now and forever.

HoYoverse participated in the recent BosonAI hackathon event this past week.

BosonAI promotes themselves as “Making communication with Al as easy, natural and fun as talking to a human.” and highlights “Audio Generation. Rich emotional voice synthesis.”

Highlighting because of the audio aspect.

A tweet posting corporate news related to Mihoyo that reads:

The hackathon hosted by BosonAl @boson_ai also featured HoYoverse among its participants.
BosonAl is a startup focused on research into large language models (LLMs), and its founder, Professor Li Mu, a graduate of Shanghai Jiao
Tong University,
was involved in the development of the game (Whispers from the Star) for Anuttacon, the company of miHoYo's former chairman Cai Haoyu.

There is an image of a banner for the event that features Hoyoverse’s name repeatedly

The description that comes up for Boson AI when you google search

It reads:

Making communication with Al as easy, natural and fun as talking to a human. Audio Generation. Rich emotional voice synthesis. Multi-speaker dialog generation.

#EchoSight #art #CoverReveal #Booksky #OC

A book that is 100% made by me, including the cover. And I'm a better writer than I am an artist, lol.

If you like fluid action choreography, science-based monsters, detective fantasy, and queer romance, you'll like all of this.

Chap 1-3 free on Patreon!

The book cover for Echo Sight.

In the center, a nonbinary main character floats above a glassy, underground lake, looking down at reflected memories. They hold fire in one hand and a chain weapon in the other. Behind them, lurking in the background, is the head of a concealed dragon, their eyes glowing brightly in the gloom.

Both the book and cover are by Cian Verati as part of the Tainted Faculties series.

Mind-blowing stuff from Robby Soave.

"Podcasters should not avoid Fuentes." Of course they should. Deplatforming Nazis is good. Not amplifying them is not censorship.

Also laughable to claim Fuentes has been deplatformed. His growing reach is directly tied to MAGA destigmatizing naked racism.

Deplatforming Nick Fuentes Won't Stop Antisemitism

Tucker Carlson's interview of the right-wing podcaster has begun a debate on how best to combat antisemitic, racist, and white nationalist views.
