Swiftdrawer/BlazeWarriorWolf/Fireking492 ⚔️@COVIDaware #StopKOSA @blazewarriorwolf.bsky.social · Jul 10

Hello everyone! I am Swiftdrawer aka BlazeWarriorWolf. Ref sheet made by my dear friend @gearpunk.bsky.social! I’m a non binary gay anarchist swordsman, furry, artist, fiction writer, Minecraft theme park resort creator, roller coaster enthusiast, plushie cuddler, chaotic/neutral good person

Me dressed up in most of my full plate armor ensemble. Includes red and black tabard and red knight’s shirt with strings and a fabulous neck collar that are mostly covered by parts of the armor. There’s also my full knight’s helmet with a large visor and a nice but pretty simple design. It has since gotten a red plume feather since I took this picture. There’s also the silver tassets, black metal body armor, and silver pauldrons. Oh and the red cape that you can kind of see in the back. I need to get an updated picture wearing as much of what I have as I can. (I may look the part of a knight but I’m not where I need to be one for real in real life. I want to be a new modern version of the classic medieval knight. This isn’t a joke or RP. I’m serious.)

A ref sheet made by @gearpunk.bsky.social of my self insert OC who has been on a interdimensional isekai adventure since 2017. As my true and chosen name has become Swiftdrawer, they are also called Swiftdrawer as seen on the top right of the ref sheet. There are 2 views of me: a front and a back. They show everything: black knight’s helmet that covers the entire head, has an infinity symbol, a silver knight visor, and a large red plumè. Then there’s the white metal boots that extend up to the knee area and feature some red and yellow swiggles, some of which look like runic symbols. For other accessories, there’s the red shield with black outline on my left arm, big red cape extending down even below knee level(as long as it can get without dragging on the ground..), green loincloth, black belt, black scabbard, and the sword known as Graceful Protector with a black hilt and red blade in a European longsword style. Rest of my armor: red knightly tassets, incredible red torso armor with multiple large plates and a wind element symbol in the stomach area with a red gorget right on top of it, one of a kind red shoulder pauldrons that spike upwards like a weird looking roller coaster hill plus wind symbols, red elbow armor, and black metal gauntlets that extend from fingertips to the elbows. The views show off both sides of a typical swordsman’s stance while I’m holding my favorite and bonded weapon. An additional view show my plate armored backside without the cape hiding most of it lol. There’s also a little floating red roller coaster track with a sci fi themed coaster car that fills in the background nicely, a color pallet, sword and shield shown separately, and 5 expressions: calm/focused, CHAOS, happy, neutral, and fiercely determined(showing helmet without visor). Oh and I have nice straight long red hair, brown eyes, tan skin, a scar that runs through the right side of my face split in two by my eye and a silver sword and shield pendant and a green gem necklace.

2 cuties. A wolf puppy plushie with brown eyes, a chibi face, and fur that is a mix of a lot of white on the lower part of the face as well as neck, bellywith grey above the eyes/snout and back, and legs. There’s also a light grey patch of fur on the snout, and the ears are white on the inside with gray on the outside and back parts of them. The wolf puppy is named Andromeda and is part of my stories as is the other plushie who is literally a baby horse I named Chocolate. Chocolate’s brown eyes can be barely seen here. She is mostly black besides her eyes with her nostrils being brown, a patch of white fur just below her mane, and some white on her lower legs, just above her black hooves.

A sci fi roller coaster station with 2 sides that feed into the same track. The coaster is called The Final Frontier: Journey Throughout The Universe and has a duration of about 45 minutes. The station is very colorful, featuring a design on most of the wall as using redstone blocks, purpur bricks, and iron blocks in groups of 4 as well as green concrete, iron block, and waxed copper/waxed oxidized copper, and what look like windows out to space made of sculk blocks. The floor uses endstone bricks and lapis blocks in stripes, broken only by the coaster station track which has emerald blocks underneath mostly while the rest of the coaster uses iron blocks. The station is littered with end rod lights and has an odd looking spaceship above everything else inside of it made out of all of the blocks mentioned except emerald blocks. Disneyland Park's Space Mountain roller coaster's space station inspired the spaceship. The wall not covered by the blocks I listed before is covered in a purple concrete and iron block series of stripes.

I really hate how cool it is in writing communities to STILL shit on fic and treat it like its somehow "not real writing"

Being told to my face "it takes no effort, anyone can write a fic. Not everyone can write a novel."

Wrong! EVERYONE can do both, they just have to be willing to LEARN HOW

"The ones that are getting out are coming home to no home," Watson said.
According to her, after the raid occurred, building management stole or threw out residents belongings, including visas and important documents.

ICIRR is still trying to determine the identities of all the people detained in the raid. Castro said that the organization usually can do that by following up with family members or loved ones. "In this instance, there was nobody left to work with," she said. The only detainee name they're sure of is that of a person who passed their Venezuelan passport to a neighbor as they were being taken away.

As an autistic who grew up in a retail small business family i love small talk, and its what i have to do for my job as a retail specialist at the creative reuse craft store. You build skills for it easily in cashier positions. Its the primary aspect of my job. I love it! Being a kind human rocks

This Tumblr user summarizes something I've been feeling/doing lately. Against everything going on, it somehow feels helpful.

User homoquartz writes: as long as you smile and nod, people are satisfied. it’s just to show that you are nice and there with good intentions. we’re small in a big world and have to rely on other people to be decent to us. so we do our little human dance to each other to say, “i’m not here to hurt you. here’s something we have in common, like the weather or sports or itchy sweaters, so we both know we’re on the same team. we both agree on a basic fact, like that it is rainy or that being itchy is uncomfortable, and this proves we can get along. i’m being light-hearted and non-threatening right now."
Small talk isn't to get to know a person. It's just a greeting to affirm you're buddies in the universe. I am motivated by wanting the other person to know I am friendly, so I have gotten pretty decent at small tall when I used to hate it.

I’ve never heard of wasps spoken of as funny but I appreciate that even though wasps scare the crap out of me at times! Okay, maybe I used to be more afraid but I still don’t want to think about the wasp nest hanging just above the outside of one of my room’s windows

Would it get better with sufficient learning? Maybe. Only if its handlers wanted it to. I don't trust that.

Crucially though, you can't use Hive data to compose or generate an image of any kind. I can fairly confidently say so. Because if you could? You could use it to reassemble actual CSAM.

They think this is good.

We can’t fight or even properly discuss this if we don’t start flipping the questions

Because the question is

“Why do all of their technologies turn to abuse vectors of the least defended and respected identities”

And the abuse of those who transcend their bias

Nightshade: Protecting Copyright

Since their arrival, generative AI models and their trainers have demonstrated their ability to download any online content for model training. For content owners and creators, few tools can prevent their content from being fed into a generative AI model against their will. Opt-out lists have been disregarded by model trainers in the past, and can be easily ignored with zero consequences. They are unverifiable and unenforceable, and those who violate opt-out lists and do-not-scrape directives can not be identified with high confidence.

everyone on bluesky is public. everything is being scraped by the slop farm companies regardless of bluesky's involvement, and even if bluesky wasn't so public, it'd still be illegally scrapped anyway. not everyone internalizes that

but when you KNOW how people (artists the most) feel about AI? wyd

Citing the “martyrdom” of Charlie Kirk, Texas AG Ken Paxton says his office is pursuing sweeping undercover investigations into “leftist” groups. “To those demented souls who seek to kill, steal, and destroy our country, know this: you cannot hide, you cannot escape, and justice is coming."

"Leftist political terrorism is a clear and present danger. Corrupted ideologies like transgenderism and Antifa are a cancer on our culture and have unleashed their deranged and drugged-up foot soldiers on the American people," said Attorney General Paxton. "The martyrdom of Charlie Kirk marks a turning point in America.
There can be no compromise with those who want us dead. To that end, I have directed my office to continue its efforts to identify, investigate, and infiltrate these leftist terror cells. To those demented souls who seek to kill, steal, and destroy our country, know this: you cannot hide, you cannot escape, and justice is coming."
The radical Left has incubated an environment where political violence is not only justified but celebrated and praised. In July, nearly two dozen armed leftists connected to various Texas-based Antifa-like groups ambushed an Immigration and Customs Enforcement ("ICE") facility in Alvarado, Texas. On September 10, 2025, a leftist assassin connected to the radical transgender movement murdered Charlie Kirk because of Kirk's bold support for truth, love of country, and unshakable faith. Two weeks later, another deranged leftist opened fire at an ICE facility in Dallas.
President Donald Trump has officially designated Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization and instructed his administration to "utilize all applicable authorities to investigate, disrupt, and dismantle any and all illegal operations — especially those involving terrorist actions — conducted by Antifa." Building on President Trump's bold actions, Attorney General Paxton has instructed his office to initiate sweeping investigations into radical leftist organizations engaged in or providing support to those performing political violence.
