Just a reminder while this is a victory, it's not over yet until Discord completely gives up on the age verification nonsense. Don't resubcribe to Nitro immediately.

If you’re ever frustrated or fed up with your work, remember that you’re not alone. Even Tove Jansson tried to kill the Moomins with a mallet

PSA for Discord's new age verification!

If you get hit by it and refuse to give them any ID or face scans as you should, here's a way to just... bypass it.

Go to Settings - Family Centre and then just enter a date of birth that's 18+

It's really that simple. Give them nothing.

holy shit. hell of an analysis

Warm ups part 1

Warm ups part 2

Warm ups part 3

Warm ups part 4

I went to art school...

I had no clue this is what people meant by "warm ups". Like, a whole routine? Each part specific and functional? Dang.

Probably would have less "forgot how to draw" days if I did these every time. I'm gonna try it.

Fave comments from our DM and a friend when seeing this non-canon demon!Ink for the first time:
"dog"
"i think your horse has too many limbs. it might be a factory defect"

Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month - all accounts set to "teen-appropriate experience" by default www.theverge.com/tech/875309/...

The Discord "teen by default" shit is insane. It feels so much like corporations want everyone to be in a state of arrested development. That we should all be children they can control. That we have to be sanitized and childlike. Hating this shit so bad. Please call your reps.

Yes, cancel your nitro but also please understand that the ID laws in states are largely giving corporations a lot of "excuses" to do this stuff and you gotta take it up with your state reps. Call them and tell them ID laws are awful and hurt people.

Upset by this age assurance initiative? Find all the ways to contact them and let them know how bad it is using the info on their company page discord.com/company-info...

TikTok is already being turned into a propaganda machine.

A lack of ability to see criticism can persuade users to think that means there’s (unanimous) support.

That, AND it’s collecting your data for whatever purpose it wants, & I bet at least a few of them you’d be horrified by.

Just delete it.

EU friends, please take a moment to sign this initiative, especially if you're from the countries still below the support threshold

Exact same thing happened to me.

The Hiveworks Artist Guild has released a public statement alleging years of labor abuses, financial mismanagement, and misconduct at Hiveworks at the hands of Xellette “Xel” Velamist and Isabelle “Isa” Melançon. Read their full statement at:

I don't want gen AI in my browser
I don't want gen AI in my pc
I don't want gen AI in my art
I don't want gen AI in my games
I don't want gen AI in my music
I don't want gen AI in my movies
I don't want gen AI in my books
I don't want gen AI in my cart
I don't want gen AI in my life

Let me give some insight on this, as a producer in the dub industry who worked with major streamers, who's witnessed first-hand where this push for AI is coming from.

tl;dr: Only CEOs want this. Tell them how much you hate it. Be loud, email, call, @, post. You will kill this.

Tweet by @night margin "digital artist woes" image of the same color gradient on various screen (monitor 1 appears very grey purple, phone appear VERY pink, monitor 2 appears a more saturated purple, laptop appears brownish red, family's phone appears much darker and bluer etc.)

Listen to me. Listen. If you're making images that will only be displayed on screens, YOU HAVE TO LET GO. You can calibrate your screens perfectly, but then 25k people will see it on their shitty $50 monitors or cracked phone and its out of your hands. Don't think of it. Achieve enlightenment.

You might see several artists mad about the bluesky policy update banning non-con, even artists who do not make that kind of material, and wonder why it's such a problem. If that's you, here is a quick breakdown:
