comparison between apple's finder icon and mine. apple's is the split blue and white smiley face, mine is two blue and white anime girls making out

comparison between discord's icon and mine. mine is like a screaming cat on a blue/purple slimy background

comparison between celsys's clip studio paint icon and mine. mine is similar but rotated with some comic styling and pink and blue highlights

comparison between mozilla's firefox icon and mine. mine is similar but looks closer to the old firefox icon and brings back the little arm and gives the fox a cute little smiley face

last week i remembered that macOS lets you set your own icons and that *I* have the power to delegitimize the professionalism of the software that runs on my machine, so here's a thread of the 16 new icons i've made so far

i really forgot how fun it was to just sit down and make art for myself :')

Every time I'm walking in a crosswalk and there is a car approaching me my brain just spins up a video of it hitting me and me ragdolling across the street like that insurance fraud minigame from Saints Row

This story is infinitely more important than GTA getting delayed. Don't let me catch you moaning about waiting longer for a video game if you're not mad about why it happened.

Pew Survey: Only 31% Of Trans People Report Being Accepted By Their Parents The survey comes as transgender people experience a legal assault from the far-right in the United States.

1. In a devastating new Pew Research Survey, only 3 in 10 transgender adults report being accepted by their parents.

And only 1 in 10 say they are accepted by their extended family.

This is the lowest number ever found in surveys asking similar questions.

Honestly “Republicans are shutting down the government to hide the Epstein files” is pretty good messaging.

I hate being offered an empty solution. I don't want to leave, and even if I did, I don't know that I'd have the resources to do so, and they're not paying. This solution just exists so you feel like you've said something helpful without actually doing anything to make me feel safe lmao

I don't have any judgment for people who choose to leave. I just am tired of (cis) people in my life who's only words of comfort for me is to tell me to get gone lmao

I'm so tired of being told to run away

I really need you guys to internalize this.

Government and corporations ripped Kimmel off the air for lightly badmouthing their behavior. Coordinated pushback by us is what forced them to cave in and put Kimmel back on air.

Again. The fascists caved in *due to coordinated pushback.*

All you have to do is mimic the hsr homepage vibe by having the name of the show shouted out when you hover over it on dropout in the cadence of "Toons! Games! Eeeeeemail"

Knights of Guinevere would usually be a step outside of what I'm into (gore isn't for me 🤷) but as someone who was laid off by the mouse while their trans show was butchered (on two separate occasions) this shit is like delicious candy to me 💖

Disney Stock Takes a Devastating Nosedive as Major Stars Call For Boycott Major Disney+ stars and iconic ABC creators have called for a boycott of Disney, pushing fans to cancel subscriptions, leading to a stock nosedive.

🚨UPDATE: In response to the boycott that erupted over the weekend, Disney decided to update the cancellation process on their website, making it MORE DIFFICULT FOR THEIR SUBSCRIBERS TO STOP GIVING THEM MONEY.

This underhanded strategy hasn’t retained customers as they hoped.

it should go without saying but if you want users to voluntarily tag their art then you need to not threaten to ban them if they do. like, you can either have a well-regulated, easily-filtered art ecosystem or you can ban art you don’t like and see it come oozing back out of every crack and crevice

I'm nsfw artist and other nsfw artists are asking you to SHOUT! Bsky wants to censor us so the worst thing we can do is censor ourselves!

Publicly shame them, use the feedback button, and post about it using the tag #bskycensorship

Silence is compliance!

just saw a tiktok from a disney adult reading from On Tyranny and asking their followers to cancel their d+ and disney trips omg

And remember YOU can take action against Disney; cancel your Hulu, D+, Disney tickets, and if you can, show up in person for protests in front of Disney. Free speech and protest WILL win out over fascism, we won't let these studios and companies live down their capitulations to a would-be dictator.

The Disney Adults Dumping the Mouse Over Jimmy Kimmel Jimmy Kimmel and Disney’s battle has not only taken over the news cycle, but it has sent the Disney internet into shambles.

“With a single post or video, we can influence thousands of guests to try a food, drink, or experience in the parks,” she says. “I couldn’t, in good conscience, keep giving them free publicity knowing they don’t support free speech and are willing to bow to fascism."

I can’t nail down two things enough:

1) treat it like a job, don’t overwork yourself if there’s people down the line who are doing the EXACT same thing.

2) this industry is based on TRUST. You trust that the person next to you, behind you and in front of you knows their job.

i'm against the new TOS because no matter how uncomfortable you are with certain subjects, it's very easy to see how bad-faith interpretations of art could be weaponized, especially against marginalized artists, who are more likely to be targeted for harassment

#bskycensorship

Chiitan loves all transgender people.
I've received a lot of criticism for expressing my support, but what's more important is that all transgender people live happy lives.
Blue Sky cannot display long posts, so please read this post if you'd like.
love you all 🤍

I will say that I find it weird that a lot of people are like "this is the moment that will tip us into violence" when a Minnesota politician was assassinated in her home 2 months ago and someone literally shot Trump in the head last year. how exactly is charlie kirk the tipping point

two stills of a man in a suit,wearing glasses and smoking a cigarette When I choose to see the good side of things, I'm not being naive. It is strategic and necessary.

Goodnight.

The lettering is done in simulated sidewalk chalk. Next time you think art doesn't matter, consider how scared the fascist are of sidewalk chalk.

Next they'll outlaw playing hopscotch. 🏳️‍🌈

Your reminder that 99.99% of the artists you interact with are sustained by a second job or spouse/family, and followers do not actually translate directly to dollars

if my entire argument for banning trans women in sports was that cis men are pretending to be trans women to win against cis women

and I tried to make a documentary about it but could not find any cis men willing to do the thing i said cis men do

i would simply never show my face in public again

COVID-19 vaccine availability at CVS pharmacies As of Sept. 5, 2025 Map

Just an FYI the article above HAS been updated as of September 5th! So be sure to check for your state and plan accordingly!

The lack of mainstream coverage of regular huge protests reminds me of a talk from a Twitter employees who explained that they had to drop BLM off the Trending Tags section because otherwise it would have been there permanently. The modern media environment has no appetite for sustained movements.
