A graphic with a large yellow banner in the middle announcing "Live on Kickstarter! We've Always Been Here: A queer historical zine." The bottom text is in a rainbow gradient with little rainbows framing the box. Above this is a mockup of the book's cover alongside some page mockups, and the bottom half features three other illustration previews.

i see lots of comments in posts about calling ur reps that are like "but they don't care!" so??? do u think progress is ever made by convincing politicians to care? its about applying pressure and making them aware that we care and are paying attention, why is that impossible for ppl to understand

Newcastle pubs ban AI art from breweries to protect local creatives As two pubs in Newcastle ban AI art, artists discuss the impact it can have on creatives.

"If I was to use ChatGPT for my designs rather than our designer Sean, that's taking money out of the local area into the hands of a multibillionaire ... removing value from the local community and local artists [and] into the hands of some of the richest people in the world."

🚨 It looks like the UK government is gearing up to upend copyright law in favour of AI companies, legalising the theft of their work.

This is despite creatives' huge protests, and despite previous proposals being roundly rejected by the public.

Please spread the word.

A parade of animals. 
The animals are all wearing masks, except a raccoon and seagull, wearing nothing, and a pig wearing a balaclava.
Some mice are carrying a body bag covered in tarp and secured with scotch tape and rope, to their left a fox and raccoon carry two money bags on their backs. A grey wolf carries a crown, and next a red cat is carrying an ornate plate with Donald Trump’s head on it. Just above it, a seagull is shitting on the same head. Besides them, a pig is carrying a decorated scepter.
The image is framed by two flowers with overreaching vines, and under it the text β€œwe are all in this together”.

BREAKING: We're suing Kansas for a law that invalidates transgender people's updated driver's licenses and authorizes anyone to sue anyone they suspect of being trans for using the "wrong" bathroom.

i can't even tell what they're doing cause its very rhythmic but if it's sex there's too many footsteps and stomping (and too rhythmic tbh, if its sex it must be boring as hell)

Every person who goes on a witchhunt to take down a queer artist because they draw taboo subjects is actively participating in fascism and actively sustaining systems of sex trafficking. Censorship has never once helped us survivors or victims. Censorship helps traffickers and abusers.
