This whole section really.

Finally: AI cannot do your job, but an AI salesman can 100% convince your boss to fire you and replace you with an AI that can't do your job, and when the bubble bursts, the money-hemorrhaging "foundation models" will be shut off and we'll lose the AI that can't do your job, and you will be long gone, retrained or retired or "discouraged" and out of the labor market, and no one will do your job.
AI is the asbestos we are shoveling into the walls of our society and our descendants will be digging it out for generations:

butch vampire x femme werewolf 🖤

full body illustration of a vampire and werewolf couple. the vampire has red eyes and short, dark gray hair. the werewolf has yellow eyes and long brown hair, and she wears a fancy ball gown. the vampire bares her fangs over her lover's throat as the werewolf grips her arm with one hand, the other coming around her neck to reveal pointed claws. a fuller image of their portraits are shown in the background: the vampire glances at her lover with a small smile, a bit of blood smeared on her lips. there are faded scratch marks on her chest. the werewolf smiles back at her. the teeth marks in her neck are slightly bloody.

Hey, so, survivor of CSAM (child sexual abuse material) here—and a global survivor advocate, including policy work!

Fictional material is not illegal. That’s actually why deepfakes are such a big issue for survivors too.

That said, actual art should *not* be made illegal. Why? (Con’t)

I must have missed the news where the author, writers, actors, and everyone involved in things like Game of Thrones, Euphoria, millions of other works etc. were all jailed
🤔🤔🤔

seriously baffled that people are upset that bluesky's new ToS bans depictions of underage peeps or sexual non con even if fictional like... guys that shit is actually illegal in most western nations you can go to jail for that art your so upset about them banning.. like the fuck is wrong with you?

DO NOT participate in #blueskyblackout2025

I'm nsfw artist and other nsfw artists are asking you to SHOUT! Bsky wants to censor us so the worst thing we can do is censor ourselves!

Publicly shame them, use the feedback button, and post about it using the tag #bskycensorship

Silence is compliance!

Do NOT believe the misinfo going around

There absolutely have been MASSIVE TOS updates

Most notably:

1) Specifying no FICTIONAL noncon
2) No "dangerous" kink
3) No DISCUSSING self harm, suicide, or substance abuse unless its "educational"

So what can we DO about it?

#SaveSpeech

1/🧵

Multiple cropped screenshots showing portions of the bsky TOS before and now. Before: "iv. Encouraging self-harm or suicide
v. Depictions of excessive violence, gore, torture, dismemberment, or non-consensual sexual activity". Now: "ii. We do not allow sexual content involving non-consensual activity including synthetic, simulated, illustrated, or animated versions. iv. Do not create, share, or promote sexual content involving realistic risk of death or serious injury. i. Do not share content, methods, instructions, or promotion of self-harm, suicide, eating disorders, and extreme dieting practices.
ii. Do not share methods, instructions, depictions, or promotion of dangerous stunts or abuse of dangerous or controlled substances. 5. Protected Expression
B. Support, Recovery, and Mental Health:
i. Personal recovery experiences or survivor stories shared to promote healing and community support rather than encouraging harmful behavior.
ii. Sharing verified mental health resources, crisis prevention".

Scaling down on the level of detail for comic pages is so difficult for me. But if I can manage that, this story would get out to you guys so much more quickly.

I guess I'm still prototyping my comic pages. I did finish another page yesterday for the first time since 2023, so that's something.
