Resolute

the nyt posts this stuff like avoiding AI for 48 hours is hard and meanwhile i have literally never once intentionally used an AI program for anything ever

Please I'm begging people to share this with your friends if you're still on twt/x and get the hell outta there.

The thing about the relentless march of time is that you only get an ending (happy or otherwise) in fiction. Here in the real world no cause is ever lost forever even though we may not live to see it prevail. This is both hope and cautionary tale.

Reminds me of how Tempel Grandin got in trouble for her "autism stim hug machine" because they asked her if it gave her (sexual) "release" and she said yes, because there was a failsafe lever that would release the pressure and open the thing up.

The AI bubble will burst. The techbros will hire people to write think pieces about why thats bad ( because it costs too much to run their stupid ai)

but you. You'll still be an artist :)

Why not both?

That's about all it is.

The snow leopard vaccinator smiled at the news of the conviction and imprisonment of the dog pack that had tried to extort treatments for preventable diseases.

Now, everyone would know that an ounce of prevention was worth more than a pound of cure.

Happy International Snow Leopard Day! :V

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are walking. Blue listens intently as Green goes on talking as he talks, leading the way. Green: Once we get home, I'll read a book, weave two baskets, re-arrange the pantry, learn esperanto- Blue interrupts Green, who turns to listen. Blue: That's quite a list. Are you sure you're being completely realistic? Green takes a momentary pause from being cartoonish, being now depicted as a painstakingly detailed and shaded painting of a fox, with fur texture, whiskers and all. Extremely realistic Green: Of course. Returning back to normal, Green keeps walking. Blue follows, looking at Green with suspicion. Blue: How long did it take you to draw that gag? Green: A lot longer than I am willing to admit.

Mr. Popo from Dragonball Z Abridged yelling "Bitch don't tell me what to do!"

All of these "if you see this, post ______" quote chains inspire exactly one reaction from me. (it also happens with second person perspective stories)

Will be stocking up on some ebooks to read while recovering from surgery.

Please share some recommendations for furry and/or trans fantasy and sci-fi stories!

porn is not evil.
sex is not evil.
pleasure is not evil.
kink is not evil.

none of them are things to feel shame or embarrassment about.

none of them deserve the heavy-handed censorship that they're facing.

Being genderfluid probably isn't enough to add me, but that just leaves space for plenty of cool creators!

"or"?

Me: okay I've bought like five games I really need to stop, no more buying games

I'm having moments of that myself. We'll get there, though, even if it's just one day, one breath, at a time.

“The girlfriend of one of the founders of antifa”

I wrote them as fully sapient in my silly little fanfics so they can do ALL the fuck

Oh my God this.

How can one believe in intelligent design in a world without gryphons?

history teacher in 50 years: So in September, that’s when the president signed an executive order criminalizing anti-fascism and saying all resistance would be crushed

student: oh so that’s when the whole country realized they were living under fascism

teacher: haha what? oh no lol not at all. no.

Wololoooooo

Illustrated image divided into four panels, each showing a head of a bat with a text label. Top left: little guy, a regular looking back with a dark face and light colored fur, top right: little guy deluxe, a bat with a mask and large ears alongside a bat with a leaf shaped nose, bottom left: what is even going on here, a visored bat with a large forehead next to a bat with a large, wrinkly nose, bottom right: o hi doggie, a fruit bat with its tongue sticking out.

Contrary to popular belief, there are only four kinds of bats.

Another game stream, doing more shinobi S-rank level attempts :)

Why should I write better when a machine can do it for me? Because actually no one can do it for you, because your voice is unique among all the people on earth. Siri never petted a horse's neck. Alexa has never been ghosted by the captain of the football team. But you have lived, your heart is beating, you have suffered, and you have something important to say. It's a human's job, to use words, and whatever job you give to a machine, that part of your brain goes dark. Maybe it's worth it when it comes to remembering phone numbers and directions, but when that part of your brain that uses words goes dark, that's a vast area that's very close to your soul. Don't let some internet platform convince you that what you have to say and create isn't worthwhile. Words are the echo of your soul. Honing that echo matters.
