in the early 2000s Rebecca took the time to chat over IRC with a teenaged and gender-confused Me on the practicalities of transition - in a time where being out as trans online was something that could get you socially ostracized. I owe her a lot for that and only hope I can pay it forward.

Bluesky has finally, quietly posted a position for a one-year remote contract Policy Lead, Trust & Safety position.

Trans people who qualify, apply here: jobs.gem.com/bluesky/am9i...

We need someone competent in this role if this place is going to survive.

‘The Owl House’ creator Dana Terrace responds to Disney+ funding AI-generated short form content in new tweet:

“Unsubscribe from Disney+. Pirate Owl House. I don’t care. Fuck gen AI.”

a stylized illustration with the text "generative AI was never ethical". The piece features a black cat pulling cables out of the back of a robot. The robot has a conveyor belt attached to it that is pulling in packages that read "stolen art, stolen writing, stolen voices, stolen videos, stolen likeness, stolen photos, stolen books, stolen code, and stolen ideas." The piece is a reminder that generative ai was built on the backs of real artists, photographers, writers, and everyone else's creative expressions as humans in order to churn out slop to feed back to us.

it is imperative that you take time every day to get a little sillay

Don't Buy Starbucks! At any location, today and beyond, while workers are on ULP strike!

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

if you are in the EU you should be FURIOUS with your leaders for pushing this through in such an undemocratic manner.

continue to raise your voices and contact your representatives. demand that Chat Control be put down for good.

it means the video was marked as "limited ads" by youtube's automated systems (which SUCK btw) and therefore there will be not much ad revenue coming in

granted while that sucks the kickstarter is doing extremely well and i hope it continues to do so because bunlith and her team COOKED

Wanted to draw Tyranitar but ended up recreating the DQ cover instead 🙃

A watercolor painting of the Pokemon Mega Absol. Absol is standing with its legs braced, facing towards the left side of the painting. Magenta and purple energy is blasting up from the ground and swirling around its body. Its wings are spread and its mouth is open. The background is a purple and blue gradient speckled with stars.

A sprite edit combining pixelart of Magus from Chrono Trigger as drawn in Card Sagas Wars added over Sigma's body from Mega Man X4. He has long silver hair, a torn purple cape, and Sigma's powered scythe with a light purple energy blade. I have not done enough of these kind of edits outside of Halloween lately. I used to do them more often, I should get back into that because they turn out great.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Here's how to turn it off.

First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

If we go on strike, our union of 12,000 workers are calling on customers to NOT BUY STARBUCKS.

Sign our pledge to not cross a picket line and we'll send you local calls to action - nocontractnocoffee.org

having no mirror matches in ranked via way of the drafts system, that was reverted so mirror matches can happen again

BREAKING: Starbucks workers have just authorized a massive strike.

Union Starbucks baristas voted to authorize the strike by 92%.

Now baristas in over 25 cities could launch an unfair labor practice strike on Thursday, November 13th.

Reminder!!

Bluesky has a pronoun labeler you should really use!

Only those who subscribe to this will see it so you should do that. Don't worry, that's all it does.
Instructions are in the bio/first post.
