It is so, so important to learn to understand the difference between A Gross Thing That Freaks Me Out, versus A Thing Which Causes Actual Harm In The World

because as long as you can't navigate the difference, your disgust is a lever that can be used to manipulate you

Meme, upper text: The Myth of Artistic Freedom Man says: I want to draw it Woman says: I want to see it MasterCard and Visa logos say: I DON'T! Bottom text: ISN'T THERE SOME RANDOM PAYMENT PROCESSOR YOU FORGOT TO ASK?

It's international nonbinary day. A plea to remember nonbinary means a lot of things. We have a very set idea culturally of what nonbinary looks like--white, thin, perhaps dandyish--and so many friends present that way! But many more don't, and aren't, those things. Free your mind of pigeonholes.

a text post from Michael Tonelli: "It's really unbelievable the niche parts of the internet that Al is ruining. My wife looks up crochet patterns online. It's now overrun by Al made up patterns that make no logical sense. My wife said if you tried to crochet the pattern that Al hallucinated, it wouldn't even be possible. And it's like, why? Why is someone ruining free crochet patterns? How were they even aware of that corner of the internet? Is there a plan to make the internet so unusable that people abandon it so we don't have access to information anymore?"

I think AI is going to eventually tank in the longterm, but...

the only real way to combat this is single-interest communities. Forums, user comms, etc, with a barrier to entry. They become trustable knowledgebases. It's really the only way forward is to return to what worked best the first time

An illustration of a coat of arms on a yellow background with a knights helmet perched on top of it. The coat of arms is in the trans flag colors, depicting a white lion with a crown and broken shackles. The ribbons flowing around the coat of arms have text on them saying "Trans Rights are Human Rights".

In case you can't tell what just happened, JK Rowling instructed her followers to take photos of anyone in a women's restroom who doesn't match their idea of Western feminine beauty standards. Short hair? Thick cheekbones/jaw? Too tall or broad-shouldered? You're now "a man" and will be harassed.

Happy Pride to the asexual nsfw artists in particular

Someone else said something very similar to this the other day, but.

It really burns me that our (millennials') generation was legally terrorized for like, downloading Radiohead discographies

But we're supposed to be ok with billionaires stealing human intellectual output in its entirety bc AI

Happy Pride Month 2025 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

The chill otter is laying down next to a phone with rainbow beams fanning out of it. They look at the phone and see it says June 1st, and after a brief contemplation, they snuggle up under a progress pride blanket, phone plugged in farther away. It reads “It’s ok if you are tired. Happy *quiet, chill* Pride.”

Happy *quiet, chill* Pride.

Happy Pride. Take a few minutes to listen to some queer voices of the past.

Because queer, trans, LGBTQ+ people have always existed and will always exist. No matter what certain lawmakers in DC try to do.

Happy #QJJ release day to all who celebrate! Absolutely adore the cover on this volume. I’ve written a couple of posts so far about QJJ/Ballad of Sword and Wine.

A drawing depicting the different versions of Shen Qingqiu. Starting on the left is a young Xiao Jiu, who looks haggard and angry at the viewer. Next is Shen Jiu, a disciple who looks disinterested or annoyed by the viewer. Next is Shen Qingqiu, he looks down on the viewer- uncaring of their opinion. Lastly, is Shen Yuan- having taken over Shen Qingqiu’s body- the system glitches hiding his face.

“That’s not my name.”

I've seen some vocally anti-AI people recently make an anti-AI post and be surprised there are still pro-AI people following them, and I can explain this;

most pro-AI people think they are somehow the exception. the way THEY are using it, SURELY you would take no issue!

well, we do. so fuck off.

The european citizens' initiative to ban conversion therapies in the EU only has 250k signatures and needs to amass 1 million in the next 7 days... If you live in the EU, please sign it (you can't otherwise); if you don't, please share it around.

This rang more clearheaded and true than many similar attempts I’ve read at analysis

between the tariffs and genAI it makes any art that crosses your path, indie or mainstream, a hard-fought miracle. really appreciate the creativity you see because artists of all stripes are really working against an avalanche intent on burying us

Jeff Bezos, who spiked a WaPo endorsement of Harris and mugged for pictures at Trump's inauguration, wants everyone to know he does *not* bear any responsibility for this.
