This from @realgdt.bsky.social talking about 'Frankenstein' is so good.

Threw on the new Criterion of NIGHTMARE ALLEY 2021 and forgot that the reappearance of Richard Jenkins and Mary Steenburgen makes this the Catalina Wine Mixer of Guillermo Del Toro's oeuvre.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is one of the greatest games I've played. I wanted to show my love for the game and did so in the only way I knew I could, by learning how to make baguettes!

Recipe can be found here:

Many years ago I did a show called Sagas of Sundry.

It was immersive horror, great storytelling, and reality show style skill challenges.

Now I want to bring it back, but call it Tales of Dread.

But I need your help. So I'm taking this project to Kickstarter.

to add: it speaks also to how the aesthetics of fascism are always stolen or appropriated. the swastika is from euroasian religions like hinduism or buddhism. the fedora was originally women's fashion. gAI being popular among fascists makes sense when its entire function is to steal aesthetics

chira 🎋 @artofchira.bsky.social · 1d

idk if it's overly reductive but I'm convinced fascism is born out of creative envy. every far right character is a failed or obsolete writer/comedian/actor/artist/etc

which is so annoying since these are losers who made their rainbow drawing not being good enough for the fridge society's problem

I think society isn't really honest about the contempt it has for the arts and those who choose a life in it. the trope of 'the suffering artist' isn't really made by artists, it's made by people who think artists should suffer and sometimes artists internalize it when they shouldn't

This happened on tumblr too. I had to clean out ALL posts/reblogs w/flags or that MIGHT get flagged so my own blog could remain visible. In order to assure folks can still see my art here, I have to clean out old posts. It ultimately discourages ever posting much here & certainly discourages reblogs

Theres lots of labels not in the main Moderation settings that mods can use to effectively hide posts globally on here.

Check your [Settings > Moderation > BlueSkyModeration Service > scroll down here]

to see what you have auto-hidden vs getting censor warnings about vs are still shown

RavennoWithTea || ✧⁠*⁠。𓄿 @ravennowithtea.bsky.social · 2d

Moderators decide that.
It is not something that one can flag on one's own posts.

RavennoWithTea || ✧⁠*⁠。𓄿 @ravennowithtea.bsky.social · 2d

Cleaning up posts & seeing just how many ones w/critiques of this place have now been flagged "Rude" &/or hidden doesnt bode well

You can still find my art on tumblr
Ill make a new pinned post later tonight

My current expectations are that this place is going the route of mastodon & digital HOAs

I think people who start social media platforms think they're going to get their cult of personality they rightfully deserve and then get upset when it's actually a social media platform

"but it's everywhere now so we just have to accept it's the new reality" motherfucker we can just stop putting it everywhere! we did it with asbestos and CFCs and lead-based paint or petrol and make-up with arsenic in it! if everyone is using something and it's bad, we can choose to stop!

An overwhelmingly common reason people give for enjoying this type of work IS ITS SEPARATION FROM REALITY. People are ENJOYING A FANTASY, not planning their weekend. This deserves protection.

as a fan of noncon, dubcon and under/non-negotiated cnc this is honestly one of the most straightforward explanations of this i've ever read?

Out of curiosity how do you get consent from a drawing. Like maybe you should worry less about whether or not a cartoon has rights and more about whether real life trans and Palestinian people do

It is my suspicion that part of the great push against nsfw material online is that it poisons the well for AI, and thusly brings the property value down. It is, thus, praxis and prophylaxis to draw smut.

i think bluesky needs to decide what they're making. if they're making a protocol, like some of their developers say, they should shut down the social media app that's causing them so many problems. if they're making a social media app, they have to engage with it like adults.
