Reminder for anyone looking at their calendar + trying to figure out how to hit those writing / creative goals you made for 2025:

It's okay to adjust in order to take care of you. You are more important than your work.

Sending everyone gentle positive vibes as we head into the winter season. ❄️

I haven't drawn my boys in forever, god I miss them 🥺

[ #willmarstudios #queerart #ocsky #doodle #nulled ]
A pencil and pen sketch of Landi lying under Conri as they embrace each other Conri's kisses slowed as he pulled away to stare into Landis' eyes. Their chests heaving in sync. Landis tried to speak, his voice softened, unsure if by exhaustion or overcome with shyness. Conri took the hint and starting to kiss along Landis' jaw then up to his ear. If only Conri could see how his hot breath made his partner blush. His words caressing Landis' skin, making his body quiver. "Tell me what you want. Dont be shy..."

Spoke to my source familiar with internal workings at Mastercard. The holiday call campaign re payment processor censorship is working, there is a lot of pressure being felt from your calls. This is resulting in increased response times at a core moment for Mastercard due to the holiday season

Not only do we need diverse books, but we need to defend diverse stories and storytellers. Join us in fighting back. 🧵

📚 bit.ly/DefendOurStories
Bright blue graphic that says, “Defend Our Stories” at the top. Beneath the title text is a smaller tagline that says, “They’re banning diverse books. We’re fighting back. Join us.” Along the right-hand side of the graphic is an illustration depicting a series of book spines, and within some of the book covers are ladders and staircases leading into the pages. Bright blue graphic with a border of multi-colored book spines along the bottom. At the top of the graphic is an illustration of multi-colored book spines that is part of the official We Need Diverse Books logo. Beneath the logo is all-caps text that says, “ Diverse books are getting banned. Diverse voices are being silenced. Diversity itself is under attack.” At the bottom is a light yellow search bar containing the URL “bit.ly/DefendOurStories”, which will redirect folks to a donation landing page where they can learn more about WNDB’s Defend Our Stories campaign.

Between Thursday and next Monday, join us in hitting pause on buying from corporations that enable Trump’s fascist agenda: weaintbuyingit.com/?utm_source=bluesky
(above images of the Target, Amazon, and Home Depot logos that have been crossed out) We Ain't Buying It Target Companies This action is taking direct aim at Target, for caving to this administration's biased attacks on DEl; Home Depot, for allowing and colluding with ICE to kidnap our neighbors on their properties; and Amazon, for funding this administration to secure their own corporate tax cuts.

Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.

My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.
A Twitter account called Ivanka News tweets an AI image of a young woman wearing Muslim garb. The woman is holding a sign that says "I came here illegally. Should I be deported?" Ivanka News writes: What is your response to this person ?? In the "About this account" tab, it appears the account is based in Nigeria An account called MAGA scope writes: Who, in your view is the great enemy of the United States? Communism, Islam, Democratic Party, or Satan? The account is based in Nigeria. An account called MAGA Nadine writes: You go to work and find this. What would you do? The attached pic is an AI image that shows a microwave. The microwave has a sign that says "For religious reasons, this microwave is now making halal food only." The account is based in Morocco. An account called America First posts an AI image of Tulsi Gabbard. They wrote: How would you rate your trust in Tulsi Gabbard on a scale of 1-10?

I found a big sign at the thrift shop with some live/laugh/love stuff on it, so I painted over that with my to-do list. Feel free to make it yours, too.

If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features."

There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.
