hey look a fun history lesson!
hey look a fun history lesson!
We are genuinely not far off from a nation attempting to ban porn wholesale, or extrapolating to include furry content etc etc
Theyre coming for -everyone-. You need to internalize that and push back. Get family and friends involved and explain the stakes.
Furries, I need your help.
Temg, a childhood terminal cancer fighter, needs you now more than ever.
He wanted to quit fighting until Furrydelphia and MakeAWish got him to his first con.
Afterwards he told his parents he wants to continue fighting.
After 9 yeareals, it's finally my turn to post the "a thousand cereals" clip, seeing as how I'm the idiot who made it.
only way to describe what this is as intentional and targeted evil. they want to make it impossible for trans people to live. this is genocidal
As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. Itβs often said you never know when youβre living through history, so let me assure you: thatβs whatβs happening now.
Hey.
Tell people when they do good job.
When you like the stuff they make.
When you like the characters theyβve created.
The stories theyβve told.
Nobody hears it as often as you think bc everyone thinks everyone hears it all the time.
Trust. They donβt.
Tell. Them.
Despite recent efforts, a job isn't guaranteed in the near future and I'm once again staring down the barrel regarding bills with no real way to pay them. As much as I hate to keep putting this out there and asking for money, I don't really have a choice.

Hey yall this is your chance to show the trans community you really are an ally and you're not just saying it for brownie points!!
-Do not support ANY of this
-JK Rowling has said on numerous occasions that her income goes DIRECTLY into anti-trans legislation in the UK
-Seriously. NONE. Of it.
Reminder: under no circumstance should you give discord your ID.
It is gonna -suck- trying to set up alternatives, and this whole fiasco is going to damage communities, but you CANNOT give them your info
hi guys I know I haven't been very active lately, and I don't talk about where I'm from often, but the government made some really scary announcements today so I thought I'd share to let everyone know what's happening. here are some posts from twt for context
For decades the Right has daydreamed about saving their country from monsters, they finally got the chance and it turns out they love the monsters. The monsters are even monstrous in the exact ways they fantasized about! You never have to listen to these guys about anything again
i say this as someone with at least a mild background in cybersecurity β tiktok is now trump/fedgov spyware. you need to delete your account and app ASAP. just because the app isnβt open doesnβt mean they wonβt be harvesting your personal data to target you. queer folx get the fuck off that app
they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.
recently my friend's comics professor told her that it's acceptable to use gen AI for script-writing but not for art, since a machine can't generate meaningful artistic work. meanwhile, my sister's screenwriting professor said that they can use gen AI for concept art and visualization, but that it won't be able to generate a script that's any good. and at my job, it seems like each department says that AI can be useful in every field except the one that they know best. It's only ever the jobs we're unfamiliar with that we assume can be replaced with automation. The more attuned we are with certain processes, crafts, and occupations, the more we realize that gen AI will never be able to provide a suitable replacement. The case for its existence relies on our ignorance of the work and skill required to do everything we don't.
itβs come to my attention that my tumblr post has been crossposted to bluesky, so Iβm posting it on my account here #AntiAI #GenAI
Alt text added because this is extremely important for everyone to see.
heads up that bluesky doesnt show posts from other languages by default on your timeline, and its cutting you off from a lot of the community
go to bsky.app/settings/lan... and deselect any language from this setting, or else you might not see any of the new japanese users at all!
Edit image button
Heads up to artists still using Twitter- Twitter is now adding an "Edit image" button under all images posted on the site that allows everyone to feed it into genAI and modify it as they wish with a prompt
If you are still on X/Twitter in any capacity as an artist, get off there right freaking now.
A screenshot of repo web page that reads: Title: Remove Windows Ai Why? The current 25H2 build of Windows 11 and future builds will include increasingly more AI features and components. This script aims to remove ALL of these features to improve user experience, privacy and security.
"RemoveWindowsAI" is a script created by zoicware, available on GitHub, that does exactly what it says: it remove every AI feature in Windows 11. Do what you wish to do with this information. I'm sharing this because some folks are forced to use Win11 at work or other places for any reasons.
AI has actively made life worse for literally everyone
- tech is now more expensive
- you cannot trust most media of reality anymore
- programs barely function
- energy prices
- literal psychosis
- your voice can be literally stolen for evil
- more spyware
but hey, you can avoid paying an artist.
GulusGammamon is VERY...
GulusGammamon is kinda...
Tumblr post from eldritchdilf-deactivated2025061: "Contrary to popular belief the biggest beginner's roadblock to art isn't even technical skill it's frustration tolerance, especially in the age of social media. It hurts and the frustration is endless but you must build the frustration tolerance equivalent to a roach's capacity to survive a nuclear explosion. That's how you build on the technical skill. Throw that "won't even start because I'm afraid it won't be perfect" shit out the window. Just do it. Just start. Good luck."
Being unable to tolerate frustration + chasing social media clout gotta be a big reason why ppl jumped on the gen ai machine to churn out slop
It's BEEN time to dump Spotify. Since this article, the music platform has also started running ICE recruitment ads. Is your Wrapped really worth it? https://bit.ly/44cgegy
Screenshot of Discord's privacy settings.
Guys, do not use the Discord Checkpoint thing (Discord's attempt at Spotify Wrapped).
It requires enabling them access to scrape your data, and has an alarming amount of private data being used for it.
Make sure you have these disabled.
We are actually doing something. DON'T STOP CALLING.
Blender Screenshot of a Shoutmon tied up in stocks (seems he's trying not to laugh~)
Absolutely~
Always willing to keep a cute fella in one place, I even have some experience with other Shoutmon if you're interested hehe~
muzzled animal fleeing from an enigmatic terror. I feel bad having to do this again, but I need some help. A couple days ago I fled home. I have been dealing with a very difficult living situation due to my parents being emotionally abusive. This Sunday was a breaking point for me and I couldnβt take it anymore. The next day, I discretely packed my bags and computer, and left. I am currently staying at a friendβs house. They have a spare room and Iβve been allowed to temporarily crash at their place for the time being. I have a roof over my head, and for the first time in a while now, I feel physically and emotionally safe. Despite this, I am not financially stable. And this is where, unfortunately, I still need help. Bills donβt stop just because Iβm in a crisis. Any help is really welcome: I have setup a paypal.me https://paypal.me/imaginativelyu as well as a Ko-fi ko-fi.com/zillionross I wanted to write this to let people know whatβs going on. This has all been immensely scary. But I feel that this is going to be the first step for me to get back on my feet. As always, take care of yourself first. But if you can help, I cannot express the gratitude I would have.
