I do need to restock groceries soon.
Want to help a trans girl artist pick up a handful of things at the store?

This is exactly right.

Age verification / online ID check legislation literally forces companies to collect MORE data on children (and everyone else) not less.

We desperately need privacy, antitrust, and algorithmic justice legislation.

Not censorship bills like KOSA and expanded surveillance.

Wow, these are beautiful!

More folks are getting their discord accounts hacked and their computers compromised. It happened to me just last month. Here’s a thread of what I learned and what to do in that situation.

Ramadan has started, and the World Central Kitchen has a program to distribute food aid to people in Gaza. Each kit for Ramadan contains nearly 30 pounds of halal—enough for up to 70 meals. If you have spare funds, please consider a donation of $60 to assist the people still struggling in Gaza.

I was messaged today and told that they were mistaken, I am not laid off on Friday.

I am relieved for 3 extra weeks of pay, but my contract ends on 3/31.

We are stalling foreclosure on our house until I find a job.

Aries and his brother Scorpio (not pictured, since he hasn't appeared in the comic yet) had a pretty rough childhood with an abusive parent. Luckily both of them are out of that situation as of the time period of the comic!

Artists, quote with your faces!

I'm pretty proud of how far I've come with faces in my art!

Working on something fun 👀 #wip #ocart

I've been in a similar boat 🫂 hope you feel better soon!

A metal bike rack shaped like an octopus on a beach in Monterey, California. Or I think it’s a bike rack. Could just be art. I’d use it as a bike rack regardless 🤣

I know people generally hate artsy #bike racks, but this one in #MontereyCA is fitting 🦑 AND functional. ❤️

Good morning to Megaton Girl fans.

In the last month, Marin has had their gender affirming surgery pulled out of reach, and now they’ve been laid off.

I’m doing what I can to support them here but if anyone has any help they can offer

I can’t bear to see them lose hope like this

Art has always been accessible. Shitty school pencils and cheap printer paper carried me into my 20s.

AI doesn't make you an artist. It makes you a client. A garbage client.

An ad asking for trans stories on Itchio.

With the shadow-bans on Itchio, it's harder than ever for me to keep up with my trans collections that I share!

So, I'm asking that anyone who has a trans romance/erotica story on the site tell me about it! And please include the gender pairing! (Your work does not need be R18 to qualify.)

AI-generated artwork is officially not eligible for copyright protection after the U.S. Supreme Court declined to review the appeal.

The court ruled that a work must have a human creator in order to qualify for copyright.

If you haven't called any of your reps yet, or it's been over 3 weeks, PLEASE call them today and tell them you oppose all ID verification bills.

It's great if you can include each bills name but if you get nervous and flub up, just mentioning you don't want any internet surveillance will work.

reminding myself of this
