found you #iwtv #devilsminion

a piece of fanart of daniel molloy and the vampire armand from the AMC TV adaptation of interview with the vampire. the scene is set in the modern day, with daniel in his seventies. armand is leaning on the doorframe of a bar, standing in the shadows, his face obscured apart from his eyes glowing orange. daniel is staring at him from the sidewalk. both are smoking cigarettes. it’s visibly dark outside, and the characters and decor are only lit by the warm yellow light from inside the bar.

Let this be an example to those who fight by Palestine's side.

Don't give in.

moi:
elle: c'est pourtant tellement mieux que cette expression débile, "y a pas de souci", j'ai payé pour un service et on me dit pas de souci je sais bien qu'il y a pas de souci c'est complètement idiot
moi: ... oui c'est vrai que si on le prend au mot
elle: ou si on utilise un peu son cerveau

abel @abelko.bsky.social · 8d

moi: et voilà c'est parfait merci beaucoup
elle: (dit quelque chose que j'entends pas)
moi: pardon?
elle: j'ai dit "il y a pas de quoi"
moi: ah d'accord pardon je n'avais pas entendu
elle: les gens de votre âge n'ont pas l'habitude de cette expression

c'est quoi les projets des clients qui me font un laïus sur le fait qu'utiliser une ou l'autre expression du quotidien complètement inoffensive c'est la mort de la culture

i'm working on a webcomic but i'm not a fan of including music to a website either because a movie controls the rythm at which is it watched but you cannot do that with reading, so i don't really see the appeal

saddest thing about making comics as someone who loves movies and music is that all the needledrops i have in my head will stay here forever because you cannot, in fact, put sound on paper

and here's another good thread that among other things talks about how tricky it can be to categorize content as "safe" or not based on visuals alone, while also insisting on the importance of depictions of actual abuse: bsky.app/profile/elli...

You might see several artists mad about the bluesky policy update banning non-con, even artists who do not make that kind of material, and wonder why it's such a problem. If that's you, here is a quick breakdown:

you can find the button at the very bottom of the left menu on mobile and right under the trending area on the right. linking to this post for an example of what you can send, and if you struggle to structure a message yourself you can copy it from the ALT description: bsky.app/profile/void...

Here's the message I sent in

You ABSOLUTELY are welcome to copy/paste or use it as a jumping off point

Let them know we don't need this kind of "help"!

Screenshot of a feedback form with the text:

I'm writing about the upcoming change to the Bluesky TOS. Bluesky put out a feedback request and despite many people voicing concerns about the changes, very concerning updates have been maintained.

Bluesky has MANY moderation tools that users can utilize themselves to restrict content that they don't want to see without needing to prevent the content from being published on the site as a whole. Aside from content labels, there are user-run moderation lists and feeds so that anyone can curate their content easily.

Despite this, you have chosen to move forward with some incredibly harmful policies that restrict free speech. I implore you to remove the following policies:

1) The restriction of FICTIONAL kink content. Non-con, dub-con, and “dangerous” kink content that is FICTIONAL does not harm anyone.

2) The restriction of content depicting or discussing self harm, suicide, and substance abuse. Requiring content about these subjects to only be “educational” is extremely harmful to those dealing with these issues. Stigma only serves to further endanger people in crisis.

If these policy changes are not removed then I, among many others, will have to look for a different platform to use.

many people are saying this but in the interest of keeping the conversation alive until it is hopefully heard: you can, and if you care about freedom of speech online, should, submit a feedback request to bluesky about the new terms of services

actions that will contribute more to pushing against bluesky's censorship than a blackout:

-submitting a feedback request
-@ing moderation about it
-commenting on mods posts about it
-making and sharing memes (ex: "i consent!" sticker)
-leaving an app store review
-just generally posting about it

Beautifully uncanny girl

Digital art of my original character Melina (she/her)
She is laying down on her back, hands in front of her, leg crossed. She is starring at the camera with an unsettling look. Her body is fully robotic. There is a huge human skeleton behind her, the ribcage closing on her.
