Being an OC artist who draws ship art of their characters is a very special kind of rarepair situation. It's me, my ocs and the few weirdos staring in the window as I play dolls. Kind of beautiful if you think about it.

it's a tragedy when you know a character would be into something but you have negative interest in it yourself so it's just an aspect of them you'll never explore. a freak beyond your means

It really can’t be emphasized enough: reposts help a LOT. They are genuine, REAL support. This isn’t Twitter, where links out, images, and self-promo get buried. Word-of-mouth matters here, it makes a genuine difference.

I didn't know about this Signal For Help hand gesture until today. I'm quite sure that a lot of other people don't know it either (as demonstrated in this video). If you just learned it now too then it was worth posting.

Just a reminder that Ofcom @ofcom.bsky.social are absolute ghouls and we should let em know

action.openrightsgroup.org/online-safet...

From Open Rights Group:

What's the consultation about?
Restrictions on live-streaming

Anyone who live-streams content has to prove that they are over 18. If you don’t, no one will be able to comment, react, record or gift to your streams. We’ve already seen age verification rolled out for many online platforms. Now, streamers will be subjected to whatever age verification checks platforms decide to use, and the privacy risks that come with that. Anyone without a passport or driving license will likely find this more difficult and risk exclusion.

And teen streamers and aspiring creators are being locked out of audience interaction – potentially killing young creators’ careers before they have even begun.

Scanning and content takedowns
There are also proposals for mandatory scanning of people's posts and public communications. Ofcom are going to require use of 'pro active' scanning technology to remove content before it's even seen. This could results in content being wrongly censored, and has a high risk of impacting speech of democratic importance. For example reporting on a protest about the proscription of Palestine Action could be censored as 'terrorist' content. This censorship could be made worse by suggested powers for law enforcement to make requests for platforms to rapidly content in times of crisis.

You can read about the proposals in more detail in our blog. https://www.openrightsgroup.org/blog/online-safety-act-comes-for-livestreaming/

what legal recourse do artists and museums have against international militaries stealing and using our work to commit warcrimes, since apparently that's a conversation we need to have now.

Losing my mind and what look like video game assets but instead were used to justify war crimes and genocide in the real world

NEW: Since October 2023, the IDF Spokesperson's Unit has released dozens of 3D animations illustrating alleged Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iranian sites

The style is unmistakable: satellite zoom-ins, black & white wireframes, and red-textured houses - a new visual language of war.Our analysis of 43 official IDF videos found recycled 3D environments, spatial inaccuracies, and assets lifted from unrelated artists and institutions.We traced over 30 unique assets to Washington-based 3D creator Ian Hubert, who makes bespoke models created for his sci-fi project Dynamo Dream, available to his Patreon subscribers.

Models of parking lots, antennas, + pipes were repurposed as Hamas and Iranian military sites

Fascinating work here tracing how the IDF recycled 3D assets from a cyberpunk sci-fi art project, the Scottish Maritime Museum and elsewhere to populate its widely-seen models of supposed enemy locations in Gaza, Lebanon and Iran. One of the most infamous, the alleged underground Hamas command center at Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, used to justify an unprecedented assault on the biggest medical center in Gaza, was actually an animation the IDF had used the previous year, saying at the time it was a tunnel beneath a UN school.
