Sharing greatly appreciated;
I'm trying to raise funds to see my dad, who's health has taken a sudden dive, bc he may not be making it out of the hospital.
Anything you can give would be appreciated and I hate to ask for help but I don't want him to go without seeing him again.

Furries, do NOT buy this game if it is using any of that generative ai BS. Even if it is "just a little". This is how they slowly add it in and make it more accepted, and they WANT that. THAT is their plan.

Lmao Pope Leo threw a rave for an archbishop's 75th birthday this is kind of incredible

Again, please keep calling your lawmakers everyday or write them emails to oppose KOSA that would actually censor the internet if every content this administration despises as well as spreading the message about it everywhere.

hello fellow artists. google has fallen. pinterest/duckduckgo AI filters don't work. do not despair; here is a list i made of places to find reference images without having to sift through piles of worthless garbage: doodlemancy.dreamwidth.org/20757.html

Meme: Straight ahead: Pausing to consider the meaning of Cohen's lyrics Everyone, for some reason, takes the exit towards Singing "Hallelujah" again in religious contexts

hey guys i made a seasonal meme

i think art is good, and i think recognizing when artists are doing something new and weird is also good.

here's me losing my shit about fake video games for nearly 2 hours

“THE NON-ARTIST FIXATION ON HYPERREALISM AS THE PINNACLE OF ART IS CLEARLY PART OF THE REASON SO MANY ADULTS THINK THEY CANNOT DRAW OR CONSIDER THEMSELVES TO BE FAILURES, KAWAII, FOLK ART, DOODLES, OR OTHER EASIER ENTRY POINTS ARE CONSIDERED CHILDISH, WHICH IS WHY JAPANESE DRAWING BOOKS ARE BETTER…”

Tomorrow is the final day!

A screenshot of a Facebook post where a person named Andy ask the Well now “What the hell is transgender?” The Royal Canadian Air Force account response with “That’s a pretty big question asked in a pretty small way, Andy. ‘Transgender’ putting describes someone whose gender – who they know themselves to be – doesn’t match the sex they were assigned at birth. It’s not new, and it’s certainly not a fad. People have lived this experience for as long as people have existed; we’re just finally talking about it openly. You don’t have to fully understand it right away, most learning takes time, but we can always start from a place of respect. That’s how decent folks handle things they’re still getting used to.”

Massive shoutout out to whoever handles the Royal Canadian Air Force’s social media account. They responded to every single comment on their already very solid Trans Day of Remembrance post and they responded like this…

The anti-transgender rhetoric in Congress must STOP!

I joined @mcbride.house.gov in urging Speaker Johnson to condemn and correct the rise in dehumanizing rhetoric against our trans neighbors.

Scientists create a ray of hope for Critically Endangered species, despite ongoing trade Scientists have assessed how the 2019 CITES Appendix II listing of highly threatened wedgefish and giant guitarfish affected the international trade in these species. Worryingly, their prevalence in…

What people do in their bedrooms is no concern of mine; what they are doing to the country definitely IS.

THEY ADDED NEW GARBAGE reblog to save a life

Good. Everyone involved with that operation, up to and including Musk, should be prosecuted. It was just a breathtaking run of illegality. bsky.app/profile/solo...

A lot of these "For the Children" Internet bills often do a lot more harm than good. Sometimes because of unintended consequences...Sometimes by design.

This is an excellent breakdown.

I urge you to call your Congresspeople/Senators in opposition. #InformationPolicy

A real photo of a white person's hand holding up a crochet snake (light pink with blue and creme stripes, with a red tongue and blush, and brown eyes) in front of a nature background with bushes, a tree, branches, and a pond. The person is wearing an off-white knit sweater with light pale pink nail polish.

The "disgusted meme" with the top being an AI generated image of a crochet snake that looks like garbage and the person being grossed out. Then the bottom image being the real thing with the person being interested. Support human artists!

I saw this AI image shared in a Discord I'm in & was inspired to make the real thing. There are a LOT of fake crochet patterns out there, I wanted to give (especially beginners) a real pattern instead. Support real artists making real work, not AI.

HEY, YOU! Uh… would you help a kid out? 🐐

I'm a poor, trans-nb, disabled goat living on a fixed income in a rough place, and could use some comfort for the holidays. I know it's a lot to ask, but, some Christmas gifts would be nice!

Could y'all maybe help me out?
