Learning how to draw different people, places, and objects. I believe the best art comes from someone learning rather than a ML model or what is mathematically meant to be the perfect image. Practicing NSFW too Banner: Louis Wain reddit: /u/pickuppencil

NOW is the time to make calls to your reps about KOSA, SCREEN act, section 230 and more

Call your legislators. Speak to office aides. Leave messages. Do so every day. Be loud and annoying. Get family and friends to join in.

yโ€™all donโ€™t need me to tell you this but this is plainly unconstitutional under any remotely rational reading of the constitution

THESE bills are a major reason for places like discord, reddit, twitch etc pushing invasive Online ID

None of the corpo bullying or nitro cancels matter if these pass, so you have to act. Be annoying about it. Get your friends and family who are unaware involved. Push the privacy/censorship angle

"the right is horny and creepy for progressive women" has been their entire thing. from the birth of fascism to today. the way the right consumes so much porn of trans women and various queer alt women subcultures while also calling for the state to murder lesbian, bi, & trans women ...

Hackers Expose Age-Verification Software Powering Surveillance Web Three hacktivists tried to find a workaround to Discordโ€™s age-verification software. Instead, they found its frontend exposed to the open internet.

Discord was going to use age verification that literally pipes your information straight to the fascist US government, until hackers exposed it.

This is how they think of us. We're a resource, a commodity. If we aren't cost effective, what good are we?
