Fighting back against AI is great.

But please hire more trans women.

One would be nice.

More than one would be ideal.

Zero is… telling.

Here’s the reason I spoke to so many video game actors. I attended the launch of TIVA, an independently run audiobook series with all of your favourite voice actors, aiming to fight back against AI and corporations, featuring an all female/non-binary cast.

Mass Effect, Baldur's Gate, And Assassin's Creed Stars Unite For All-Female And Non-Binary Audiobook, And We Spoke To Them All

TIVA is a self-funded audiobook project featuring a wealth of talent, aiming to "stand against the exploitation of artists by corporations and AI."

Being fat also does not equal unhealthiness btw.

Hey. Fat people also deserve food. Fat people using snap benefits deserve to eat guiltfree. Going without will not make them instantly skinny, and in some cases, like those with diabetes, not eating on a set schedule can exacerbate health problems. Being fat does not equal laziness or weak morality.

Warmed up today by adding some color 💖 I'm really happy with these!

#art #myocs #ocsky #mermaid #mermaids #bodypositive

A digital drawing of Mavis DeLuna as a mermaid in feminine form. She has a long and thick mermaid tail with large, billowing fins that form the shape of a crescent. She's bent over with her hands on her tail, similar to how a human would have their hands on their knees. She has a playful smile on her face while she wears a thin swim top. Her hair is decorated with pearls, and she has pearl strings around her neck and across her hip. The drawing is in color; her hair is crimson with a white stripe on the right side (our left), and her tail is a sparkling warm lavender color. Her skin is a light olive shade with golden undertones and freckles.

Explaining my situation (10/26/25) ‼️💕

ko-fi.com/bmbrshblsh

#mutualaid #transaid #lgbtqaid #disabilityaid #vtubers #helpsky

To explain my situation;

I am a disabled trans woman, and while before I had been able to work just fine, last year before I lost my job I was in and out of doctors offices trying to figure my health out. All of this time off ended up costing me my job in the end, and I have been unemployed since. I deal with a mix of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease and Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, which makes my day to day living extremely difficult. Believe it or not, going from a job where I walked around 15,000 steps a day to relying on a cane just to go grocery shopping is a crazy jump… I have been financially supported by both Twitch as well as donations since last year, and bills on my end have begun to pile up. I am currently around 6000 dollars in credit card debt. I have been looking consistently for a job for months, especially with my 26th birthday early next year, meaning I will no longer have access to my Fathers insurance, which means unless I get insured I will be paying much more out of pocket for my medications including my hormones. I'm looking into Medicaid soon, but given how they're attacking Medicaid right now, I know it isn't a long term solution sadly…And the job hunt has come up short time and time again. It's becoming seriously difficult for me, and all I can really do until I land something is ask for help in between what little money I get from my hobbies.

I want to explain all of this to you so that I can be more transparent about why I am asking for help so often, shit isn't easy right now. If you can send any sort of support, I would appreciate it so much. If not, that's okay. Just spreading the word is more than enough for me.

Thank you.

-Saphie/Amity

You Mean It's Thursday? @spideythursday.bsky.social · 2d

Oh yeah, it sounded like Underground’s entire production was a shitshow going by Ben Hurst’s testimony (showrunner on SatAM and story editor for Underground)

Sonic Underground was a sad, sad story.
With the opportunity looming large for the third season of SatAm, DIC made a creative decision to trash that continuity and strike out in a new direction. The reason: because they could add songs with the whole Sonic, Sonia and Manic thing and collect extra residuals from ASCAP/BMI (the group that pays song royalties - DIC makes deals with songwriters to split or sign over the rights to their compositions - exactly the same way that they force the writers and story editors to sign over all rights to their stories.)

Did they ask me or Pat or Len Janson to develop the series? No. In fact, I never heard of the series before a DIC story editor called and asked me and Pat to come to a cattle call for Sonic Underground. I refused (we don't do cattle calls - which, for those of you unfamiliar with the term - is where they bring in about 20 writers to learn about a series and pitch written premises (for free) in hopes of snagging an episode or two). The story editor got us there by guaranteeing us at least a few episodes. So, off we went to a conference room at DIC.

We got there and yep, twenty writers. They showed an episode of SatAm (first season) to "illustrate the background" of the characters. It wasn't one of mine or Pat's - it was one of the other episodes. After they described the marvelous new direction (Siblings, Music, Missing Mother, Stupid New Characters) they ended the meeting.
We were taken into another room with the story editor who told us he wanted us to write the pilot episode. We did. SEGA read the script, then the story editor was fired and we were hired. They also hired another team of story editors - who survived through about 8 episodes before they left.
We also got a few fledgling writers shoved down our throat by the producer (results: / had to rewrite their damned unusable scripts from page one - they still got paid for the script - I got nada)

We tried our best to get some lore going, but DIC was racing through the series at 2 episodes a week - an insane pace and one calculated to maximize their profits. We managed to get a three-part origin story through, but with the limited time, we were unable to tie everything together. The only bright spot was that we assigned 6 scripts to Len Janson, who wrote some damn nice stuff.

I don't care how good the content is, if you use GenAI images for illustration I'm not opening, reading, or sharing your work.

Even beside the disrespect to creators - I don't trust the laziness to stop at the images.

This is what I mean when I say that present-day covid denialism is right wing. It was a plan born of corporatists and wholly adopted by centrists and even leftists eager to pretend the pandemic was over, which should immediately give anyone thinking about it pause.

Jonathan Cohn @jonathancohn.bsky.social · 6d

Remember how just a few years ago during the worst of the pandemic when we saw how the govt can actually do big things and saw that our collective health & well-being are intertwined, and then corporations got mad that they lost a modicum of power and helped fund a backlash of amnesia and fascism?

#art #myocs #finalbosses #ocsky #halloween

A digital drawing of Mavis DeLuna (top) and Moa Two-Pelts (bottom). Mavis is drawn as a vampire with a puffy sleeve white shirt and a violet bodice. She's got some blood smeared across her lip and cheek; Moa is laying beneath her with his head in her lap, and he has two obvious bite marks on his neck with small rivers of blood trickling from the wounds. Moa has a toothy grin on his face, lying back with an arm resting across his stomach, enjoying all of it.

So I've been very music brained as of late... and I've also had EE on the mind... so I thought "hey, why not make a little something off that?" So I made a little short parody of a song chorus that's been stuck in my head and combined it with the #Korps.
