Remember kids:
- Discord is not a place for storing game dev/project materials
- You (probably) don't need Jira
- Your internal deadlines should be BEFORE their final due date
- Don't put up with stuff; speak up
- If someone can't speak up, speak up for them
- Stay a little silly but take no shit

Just an average day in one of the SOMA's private sparring rooms!

Art by @gehirnlie, featuring @LViolet9's Leon, @SDSheppy's Hayato, and my friend MrsMan's Rago, Ruby, and Warren! (@'s above are their Twitter handles where applicable)

Thanks again for this amazing piece and taking part in it!

-Jasper attempts to teach Leon the elegance of true taekwondo with a high single leg pose and is enjoying the skill he possesses over the fox.

-Hayato and Luka spar with swords (they are professionals)

-Dean talks to his butler and near daily training partner Edward, although Dean seems a bit distracted by someone...

-Brutus, Afi, Charlie, and Stella each go over their weekly training schedule and what rooms to reserve for each of the classes they teach, although Stella seems a bit distracted by someone...

-Ruby and her prized student Warren flew up from Australia to train with the others for a bit. Ruby is testing her kangaroo student's powerful kicks despite her shorter stature and his powerful legs.

-Rago has some sticky fingers with that sword. He better be careful...

Gonna go even further: don't refer to it as "consuming media" when doing this. You aren't a consumer - it's not a product. You read books. You look at art. You watch movies and/or videos. Be careful about word choice.

Reject "consume" and REJECT "CONTENT."
IT IS ART.
YOU ARE ENGAGING WITH ART.

kieu @ we must not stop living @leslekieuart.bsky.social · 17d

I'm being so real right now, learn how to engage in media as art and not a reflection of your own real life morals. consume things that make you uncomfortable and understand why it makes you uncomfortable. Don't just base yours and others morals standings on the media you consume.

The art community on bsky, when it first started, was absolutely incredible and there was one reason it was so good:

Comments!

Artists would comment and engage with each other so much, and it made it so lively and fun and filled with community.

Take a moment to leave a comment each day~!

Michigan lawmakers are proposing a total porn ban

The "Anticorruption of Public Morals Act" H.B 4938 would prohibit the distribution of "real, animated, digitally generated, written, or auditory" depictions of sexual acts.

Total porn ban proposed by Michigan lawmakers

Some states have moved to require age verification to ensure only adults are watching porn, but no states have outright banned the viewing of pornographic material.

I'm not the only one who thinks when a large tech firm says "we are not" translates to "we totally are" right?. Perfect example I used to work for a firm, "We're not firing anyone" they said . My department was liquidated, and we were fired after the meeting.

(I think this counts)

Digital art - A huge white furby with a long, furry snake-like body towering over a small child. It's smiling and almost glowing in the light. The child is dressed like Atreyu in The Neverending Story. The background is swirling blues and pinks of dawn.

KGLW exited the Spotify ecosystem as a moral protest to the CEO's direct involvement in funding the development of AI weapon systems and have taken the additional step of (at least for the time being) making a majority of their huge musical catalog free/pay as you like on Bandcamp.
