Still some final details to paint, but here's today's progress on the Clockwork Dragon encounter build. Then it's on to painting the star of the show! #ttrpg #minipainting

A 3D printed display made up of what appears to be tiered Clockwork gears painted in shades of bronze, copper and gold. On top of the display sits and unpainted Clockwork Dragon from Wiz kids.

Xero and I met on Montrose.

At a club called Numbers.

Fuck y'all, make the entire street of Montrose rainbow! Paint the buildings with trans flags! Montrose IS GAY, and you can't erase that!

Houston Public Media @houstonpublicmedia.bsky.social · 21h

Houston reinstated the rainbow crosswalks in Montrose. Some conservative leaders are calling for its removal.

Back in 2023 the handful of artists on bsky looked into this and found every other large social uses (iirc even exactly the same) content moderation service for their posts; bsky back then came in and said they do not train a model and have no interest in doing that

Aaron Rodericks @aaron.bsky.team · 23h

Every appeal gets reviewed by moderators, but literally no social media site at scale can scan user content in a timely fashion for violations using only humans. They do not retain or train on any Bsky user data or images.

I get y'all are rightfully mad at some of the stuff going down on here right now, but I have no reason to believe any of the above has changed

What *is* true is that all the other big socials are building genAI (yes even Tumblr, partnered with Midjourney) and bsky DOES get scraped by 3rd parties

A Millennial’s Guide to Breast Cancer: The Beginning

I turned 40 earlier this year and decided to go ahead and get a mammogram. The American Cancer Society says women can start annual screening at 40, but should definitely start at 45. Considering my family history, I opted to start just to be sure. Unfortunately, we were quickly sure that I had breast cancer. On the plus side, I was surrounded by all kinds of support.

It's skeleton time! My name is Hampus and I can't stop thinking about skeletons. Let's share dat bony goodness

💀 Post your skeleton art
🦴 Invite your friends, if you want
💀 Be nice to each other
🦴 Posters of genAI will be blocked and possibly lose their IRL skeleton!? 😱

A digital painting of a naked woman kneeling before a gigantic honey-colored flower with a skull in the center. The woman is rendered in shades of purple and red, her head cast back, eyes closed and lips smiling. Her long black hair is flowing down, covering her butt. Her arms are stretched behind her, bent slightly at the elbow. Some joker has written "Skeleton art share" over the picture
