Same thing happened to me on my last post. Weirdly, I don't think anyone following you can see the warnings if they have the 'Adult Content' stuff in preferences checked to 'Yes Please', even if they are showing for you.

I'm seeing butts right now.

Butts.

Brits can get around Discord's age verification thanks to Death Stranding's photo mode, bypassing the measure introduced with the UK's Online Safety Act. We tried it and it worksβ€”thanks, Kojima The UK's new act blocks access to adult content without identification. Turns out, you only need a copy of Death Stranding and a phone to get around it.

Oh my god

"There is no excuse for what’s happening in Gaza.

This tragedy must end now, immediately and decisively.

Every political hesitation, every attempt at justification of the horrors being committed under international watch, will forever be judged as a collective failure to preserve humanity in war.”

Gaza | The scale of human suffering and the stripping of human dignity have long exceeded every acceptable standard, both legal and moral.

This tragedy must end now.

The Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention is
calling on every single leader in the world: DO EVERYTHING YOU CAN TO GET FOOD &
WATER INTO GAZA RIGHT AWAY. Even if it takes bypassing the reports, meetings, endless conferences, parliamentary sessions, UN sessions, and all the other regular diplomatic
channels that have led nowhere. Just do it. Genocide must not be allowed to continue while we all
watch. We must not allow mass starvation in Gaza.
We cannot wait any longer. IF YOU HAVE POWER, USE IT. HISTORY WILL DEMONSTRATE THE RECTITUDE OF
YOUR ACTIONS.

Anyone know why this got the 'Sexually Suggestive' kibosh slapped on it? Other artists I follow post work that ACTUALLY depicts sex acts and their art shows up in my feed without me having to do the 'Yes, show me all the boobies/butts/peens' click-through.

Image of DC Comics Swamp Thing and Abigail Arcane. Swamp Thing is huge, and sits hunched in the swamp, arms on knees, feet below the water. His fingers (hopefully) looking like roots going into the water. Abigail is naked, and stands under Swamp Things chin, using his triangular nose cape/green as a curtain.

Sometimes I need to sit at the desk and remind myself I can still draw. Been letting the state of...<gestures to EVERYTHING> convince myself that drawing is pointless. That said, one of the few joys I find these days is coming here to see other people who are still making art and sharing it.

if you are a concept artist currently using Vizcom and believing that it's "just a tool", all you are doing is making absolutely certain you will shortly cease to be a concept artist

Then the Black Hole gig rolls around, and some intern has to go down to the nearest rental place and grab a copy so they can watch in the bullpen.

I think the personal video market explosion of the 80's has a bunch to do with the contrast. I mean, the Space Odyssey comic came out 8 or 9 years after 2001 was in theaters, so Kirby was probably going on memory and (what I can only assume) a paltry ref pack from the production company.
