This book is excellent—smart and touching and melancholic, and every time I explain that to someone I realize I sound like a crazy person and I have to go back and re-read it to remind myself that I am 100% correct.

An absolutely luminous and beautiful book about a woman fucking a bear

“It’s just a tool! People used to hate on photoshop too.”

Take away my photoshop, take away my tablets, I can still draw. Take away your plagiarism machine and what are you gonna do? Shout prompts at me?

There is literally nothing anyone can do to convince me that any man not being able to get fucked is ever my problem, let alone something that should affect how politics for the entire country work.

My level of not caring is only matched by my irritation at having to constantly hear about it.

Reposting this because I can tell there is an increase in AI images from Gaza. Remember that Palestinians are not a monolith. Much like in the West, some are IT geniuses, others are online for the first time out of necessity

Having read @nolore.bsky.social’s The Social Safety Net, I understand the impacts of the “lost decade” due to Martin’s budget: My father was 46 then, and deeply impacted. I am 46 now, and terrified this austerity will repeat history, impacting my own family in the same way. These cuts cause harm.

Winning mass working class support for trans rights is absolutely possible. Broad sympathy for trans people was turned by a handful of major newspaper and magazine editors, nazis and a few fashy feminists. Most people care about bodily autonomy and letting others find their path. We can win

This was really wild because writing this article (which explained how female lions are in charge of the pride) really revealed to me how common it is for men to make male lions their entire personality and definition of manhood.

I was dogpiled, brigaded, and attacked for WEEKS.

Cuts to Women and Gender Equality Canada will take us back to the Harper days - CCPA On April 28, women voters delivered a major victory for the Liberal party, turning around the electoral fortunes of a party that had been trailing its major opponent by 25 points in the year leading u...

"Pre-election, the Liberals promised to “never” compromise women’s rights in Canada. Now the government is talking about cuts so deep that they will exceed those that laid waste to the women’s sector during the Harper years."

they're just ceding the entire framing of the argument to the right wing. if you accept it's appropriate to censor exceptionally obscene forms of artwork, then all they need to do is argue that the stuff they actually want to censor (read: all LGBT work) is in fact also exceptionally obscene

Please share this widely. We need as many people to submit comments supporting access to this care as possible.

Capital and labor.
Those are the only legal means of earning income.

The AI revolution is a revolution where Capital (VCs et al) is in pursuit of automating as much Labor as possible while compensating as little as possible the people who labor to enable that automation (internet users, annotators)

The first 100% effective HIV prevention drug is approved and going global An epidemic that's been sustained for 44 years might finally be quelled, with the milestone approval of the first HIV drug that offers 100% protection with its twice-yearly injections. It's a landmark...

Well, I'll be damned.

It's royalty free and there's already six, generic manufacturers lined up.

I maintain the hatred of people living in RVs here has direct roots in European hatred of Travellers, and settler fears of mobile Indigenous peoples the state confined to reserves and road allowances in order to occupy stolen lands. It’s psychological & rooted in colonial ideologies of domination.

There are over a hundred municipalities in the pre-1967 borders of Israel which are legally permitted to reject your residency based on race even if you are a citizen.

The BBC News website has pages & pages of coverage related to farmers protesting inheritance tax, including events where only a few hundred turn out.

In London yesterday 100,000 people marched for trans rights, and nothing.

Imagine if it was 100,000 anti immigrant activists, they'd cover that.

Beit Hanoun used to be home to more than 50k people.

our Saturday night viewing is ORCA (1977) and if I ever get to Newfoundland again, I'll have to get @bookninja.bsky.social to take me to a location visit at Petty Harbour

Create NSFW art

Porn is not evil, sex is not abhorrent, pleasure is not a crime

Even if you don't agree with all kinks doesn't mean they should be allowed to censor art

This is why we have tags and the blick button, not megacorps deciding what we can and cannot like

Always resist oppression

To be 100% clear on this:

Emails cost them nothing. They can delete them, ignore them, forget they exist, whatever.

But there is a dollar cost associated with every single customer service call. That's why most phone trees are over-automated these days. Calling messes up the C/S team goals.

Visa is easy but you have to trick the phone tree with Mastercard

1. select option that you have a card
2. select option to for account info
3. press a few random buttons when asked to give ur card, wait until it transfers you to an agent
4. Request to file a complaint abt discriminatory practices

Setting aside the ethical and environmental concerns of AI, I'm really offended by a bunch of elite dudes telling us our minds aren't good enough when they've had to steal everything human minds have created to create their pretend mind and it doesn't even work right!

Trans rights today, and forever.

Old enough to remember when Israel told us UNRWA was staffed by October 7 killers. That also turned out to be a lie.

To argue that Gazans could eat if Hamas simply released the remaining hostages and surrendered is to admit that Israel is using Gazans as hostages to achieve that end.

‘It’s being levelled’: advocates worried about potential 81 per cent cut to Women and Gender Equality Canada’s budget by 2028 Women's advocates call the department's three-year forecast 'extremely shocking' and 'disproportional' for the small ministry. 'The level of support will be radically reduced,' says Katherine Scott, w...

Carney conned progressive voters in a way that is unprecedented in Canadian electoral history.

wow is it hard when you hope for something that would be awesome to happen and having to accept it won't. really hate having hope sometimes

related, did you know that "under the weather" is a nautical term? it means a sick sailor resting belowdecks, so he isn't buffeted by gales
