🚨 It looks like the UK government is gearing up to upend copyright law in favour of AI companies, legalising the theft of their work.

This is despite creatives' huge protests, and despite previous proposals being roundly rejected by the public.

Please spread the word.

aaaaaAAHHHHH (screams in gay excitement!!)

We'll take the tiny wins where we can! #FuckAI

Ugh. Yeah. It’s all good but there’s a tiny problem - I’ve got to eat sometimes. And I don’t entirely enjoy sleeping under the bridge.

Jokes aside, thanks for people who hire me.
And HUGE thanks to patrons who support me allowing me to feel I have backup if I get sick or too tired.

Exactly

Thank goodness

An illustration of two masculine figures together, one sitting on the other's lap with a hand on the other's chin, their eyes locked together. They wear fancy period clothing like a powdered wig and corset, one specifically dressed in very gender-nonconforming attire. A magenta banner at the top says "We've Always Been Here: A queer historical zine" and a blue banner at the bottom says "launches in 24 hours!"

Just 24 hours until we launch on Kickstarter!!

Remember: If you want early bird discounts, they will only be available for the first day (and while slots are still available).

There's no such thing as ethical AI. All AI companies got their training data from theft.

With certain very loud Bluesky accounts with a particular agenda whipping people up to #BoycottChatGPT and use Claude by Anthropic - A timely reminder:
There are people making a lot of money from betting on this shitshow. No political Bsky account is doing this for 'good'. #FuckALLai

A digital illustration of two Peking opera performers on stage wearing intricately detailed outfits. They delicately touch hands, their expressions soft. At the top is a pink banner that says "We've Always Been Here: a queer historical zine" and at the bottom is a red banner that says "2 days until launch!"

Just 2 days left until the We've Always Been Here Kickstarter launches!! 🌈

Let's hope that is going to be true

That’s what I kept hearing. So I thought I’d give it a chance through asking husband to test it

For some reason, I haven't received my salary for the month. If you can help me in any way, I'll truly appreciate it. #kofi #koficommissions #artcommissions #supportartists #bskyartist ko-fi.com/shinreddear

Good morning, Bluesky. We've moved out of February and into March, and I'm hoping March is a much better month for all of us.

In our case I'm the one who brings all the new stuff and throws it at him for testing. So I'm sort of the "content scout" lol.

He's only allowed to watch alone in the test mode, otherwise it's treason!!

Sure, we watch together!

because you know my taste and what irks me off. If it's ook, we'll watch together".

I think i's quite a fortunate settlment we're having!

Artistocrats in ye olden times had wine and food tasters to avoid poison.
I'm not an aristocrat (though I'm a cheeky prince quite often), but I have my own "tv-show, game and book taster" and it's my husband.
I tell him "go watch the ep1 of The Knight of 7 kingdoms and tell me if I can watch it

Human artists! use only one piece to convince people to follow you!

I did it, my darlings!

Happy #HansryWeek and #PrideMonth
The subject for day 1 was "Flowers"
So flowers I did!
The poem is a quote of an anonymous medieval poet.

Am I bonkers to do #fanart of such complexity on my holiday?
Damn right, I am.
No regrets, though!

A little closeup!

Digital fanart. Henry of Skalitz from Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 is fucking Hans Capon, holding him against the wall,while the young lords are behind his back. They are presumably somewhere in a castle, near a big enough window to cover them both in morning light.

Here's the first part of my #Hansry "wall sex" project in color.
I will have to do a lot of work art right now, so I don't know when I will color the second part.
So, bear with me, and consider supporting me on Patreon where I will post more explicit stuff.

Cropped piece of digital Hansry fanart. Hans looks behind his shoulder and Henry who lays behind him and looks him in the eyes, with a look full of desire.

Same picture but more focus on Henry's face and body. There's a mischievous and wanton smile on his face. Recent and old battle scars are visible on his skin.

I made a new #Hansry smut for my #Patreon.
I'm really proud of it. The angle, the mood, especially their faces. That LOOK on Henry's face is my favourite from what I've drawn so far.

Fun fact! If you share this starter pack around, the really cool artists in it will get more followers, and I think that’s really neat 🥰

Black and white photo of Marjane Satrapi with the quote: "The world is not divided between East and West. You are American. I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same."

Once again.

Am I the bad person if I don’t feel anything? Like I feel completely numb. But probably it’s both burn out and duloxetine combined.
I understand how bad things are logically but I’m so empty inside.

Waking up to news of another war is not fun at all
