The article doesnt actually mention them "distancing" themselves from Palantir, only that prompts to give your ID to Persona were "a test, which has concluded"

Continue to cancel Nitro and migrate elsewhere

In this story, there is a lot of support for trans people that you rarely see covered in the media unless they're being attacked. Businesses and individuals all standing up and saying 'I will not be a part of this' and I think that needs to be highlighted because it can feel lonely out there.

LISTEN UP!

Alright, that time of year again.

We shouldn't be reliant on a "holiday" to tell the men in our lives we love them, or are thinking of them.

Husband, Father/Figure, Brother, Son, Boyfriend, Bro, etc.

Get them something from the heart. ANYTHING.

Men need affirmations and gifts too!

I keep seeing folks say they'll just accept a Teen Friendly account on Discord rather than scan or ID and I don't know if I wanna mass normalize leaving NSFW pals out in the cold yet again. Especially with all the censorship stuff goin on I think we gotta stand with the freaks now more than ever.

If you would like to voice your distaste for this choice in a way that Discord will understand. Please cancel your Nitro.

To do so: Settings > Subscriptions > Cancel

You can do this ahead of your renewal if you bought a longer sub. They will notice. Be sure to remove your payment method as well.

I mean this as hard as I can: cancel your fucking nitro. it is LITERALLY the only thing that they fucking listen to.

hit 'em where it hurts!! 🥰✨

You know that clip of Charlie in It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia where everyone is arguing around a restaurant booth, he has a meltdown and screams "STOP. SHUT UP OH MY GOD I DON'T CARE"? That's how I feel constantly having AI offered to me. I don't want it, I've never wanted it, millions of people make it clear every day online they hate it and don't want it and we still have to keep hearing about it, being asked "are you sure?" like we're toddlers refusing to try food that tastes good. Bestie I am an entire whole grown adult with anxiety and debt, I am capable of deciding I don't like or want this. Our education system is constantly eroded, now more than ever, and every company ever is like "would you like to use your atrophying brain even less than you already do?" No actually, I probably should use it! You listed reasons you knew I would give for disliking AI yourself including environmental impact, loss of jobs for people, the erosion of trust in things being made by actual people, power concentrating in the hands of corporations like... you obviously already know so do you know how comically evil and antagonistic towards your users you're going to look if you implement AI after listing every reason NOT to use it YOURSELF? You clearly already know what the correct choice is, why do I have to be here to tell you that you already know it? Everyone I know taking this survey is saying they're going to just stop using Discord if you fill it with AI so if you don't actually care what I think and need a motivation for yourself, consider how NFTs went. When the AI bubble finally pops and you're left holding an enshittified service people left en masse because you myopically chased a trend most of your users are telling you they don't want, are you going to have made enough money? Or do you want something sustainable that people will continue to use? You can make the right choice and stick around or go jump into the ground with Skype in the messaging app graveyard.

the way the part I highlighted in my response here actually makes me so mad lol

This is the original pic from the meme below.

Btw, feel free to use this photo (or any of mine) for art references like drawing, painting, or sculpting (🚫 Al). If you do, show me your creations, as I really enjoy seeing them.

teasing early but this is one of those pics that reminds me how fun drawing can be

I don't give a fuck what your spotify wrapped is post who you bought music from on bandcamp lol

Blooper reel!!
And some of what's behind the "perfect shot."

So please, don't be to harsh on people doing REAL stuff, at least take a moment to analyze their past content for consistency before throwing the clanker accusation.
That hurt real artists.

do u feel like ur losing ur freedoms in a world that is descending deeper into fascism?

take back control of ur life. cancel ur spotify sub and stop letting the computer decide what u listen to. go to a thrift store and buy a weird compilation CD. ur new fav song might be on there

I should feel something

Forgot to post this warm up sketch of an upcoming oc I made a few days ago ^^

If you have access to a Walmart and don't have issues shopping there, all of this costs about $10 including tax.

Don't get discouraged by professional artists with 10-20+ years experience using fancy & expensive materials. You can get started and learn and even FLOURISH with just this.

Bluesky Support has suspended this furry congressional candidate's account for no apparent reason. They want to limit his reach and kill his campaign, presumably for not being whatever they consider "advertiser friendly". We really need to get loud about this, and not let them get away with it

In the center a fox is expressing mental anguish. Behind him are two of his identities and between them barely visible the third new identity that has yet to appear. Two monsterous hands are reaching out for the fox. In the far back is an elderly man looking down on him. A set of eyes from the old man's true form look down on the fox and his forms.

@cosmohound.bsky.social 's Kitsune Thaumeturge had a DOPE character arc that I still think about a lot -- happy birthday!
