As one Massachusetts school administrator recently said; this moment with AI is remarkably like the moment when we were introduced to asbestos. Yes, it had some remarkably promising characteristics – fireproofing! – and had some real utility in science, research, and industrial applications. But a profit-driven industry bullied us into inserting it everywhere; into our homes and schools and public spaces, before we really understood the risks. This resulted in decades, if not centuries, of illness, injuries, deaths, and the astronomical financial burden of trying to remove the stuff. As you, the leaders and policymakers in our schools, craft an AI policy for our district, we the undersigned call on you to: 1. Ban AI tools into the classroom, protect our students and teachers from de-skilling and allow them the space and time to engage in assignments themselves. 2. Resist any direct financial relationship or contracts with AI providers, as well as the “training” they might offer. 3. Provide a digital literacy curriculum to help students navigate the current digital landscape, and promote critical engagement with technology. 4. Guarantee that anywhere generative AI has already entered our classrooms or curriculum, an opt-out will allow students and teachers to refuse the use of these products at no risk to their grades, progress or employment.

Love to see community action against this AI nonsense! neighborhoodview.org/2025/11/13/d...

that's what i did!!!

im gonna toot my own horn again to make a point. at the height of my carpal/cubital tunnel pain, i made a visual novel almost entirely with my non-dominant hand, and i didn't touch AI the entire time. i did it entirely with vroids and various free assets (which were not made with AI).

YOU ARE WEAK.

i have a terrible secret. i really wanna draw lewd comics, but all my ideas boil down to "what if <character similar to me> had sex with <character type that i think is cool>"

help x) how do i / should i break free? i feel like it's gonna get so stale so fast. i thought i was the creative creature!

Silly

that is very cute!! when i was on the swings i would just swing forever and think about stuff. like minecraft mods i would make if i knew how. sometimes i would spin around and twist the chains and go weeeeeee tho :3

i would literally swing on the swings with you right this very second if i had the power. that would be the most delightful time in the world i think :3

can you provide one of those tv roller thingys that vtubers use to go to conventions so that i can be there without buying plane ticket :3 (/j but would if could)

i want something like this for myself- i aspire to have this level of comfort with all aspects of yourself, even the darkest. every time i think I've done it, i find stuff about myself that's been hiding in plain sight bc I've normalized ignoring it. i wanna make peace and joy with myself like that.

i know this is so silly, but this is genuinely having such an impact on me. it feels like this is unlocking a new world of self care media.. idk if I'm saying anything right x) it looks like a "Real" cartoon of a world of your mind without restrictions or judgement and i think that's so so good.

Anyway I hadn't heard anyone talking about this, so I guess I'm gonna talk about it. Spread the word if you're thinking about doing an nsfw KS project, Stripe apparently might pull your funding at literally any step of the process, with zero warning!

this is how minecraft is meant to be

rejoice! deer time!!! 🎉🎉🎉🦌🎉🦌🎉🎉🦌🦌🦌🎉🦌🦌🎉🦌🎉🦌🎉🎉🎉🎉🦌🦌🎉 celebration!!!

Zohran Mamdani wins!

He ran on an unabashedly pro-transgender platform, stood up for the most vulnerable, as so many have pushed for the Democratic Party to abandon trans people in order to win.

Major win for trans New Yorkers - he has vowed for intense resistance to anti-trans Trump policies.

first time drawing with a ref in such a long time i feel like i am brimming with power

I've never commented on your stuff before but it's seriously so so inspiring to me- how do you do the colors and shapes and details so well!!! It's so pretty I wish I could be half that good. You always make the entire body just as expressive as the face and it's pure magic!!! how! x)

AAAAAA I DID IT I DID IT I CALLED MY SENATORS TO OPPOSE KOSA, NOW EVERYONE ELSE DO YOUR PART 5calls.org @5calls.org

i wrote my script on a comically small sticky note i had within grabbing range. also yes i did this before even getting out of bed, it helps! less energy for anxiety

Stop payment processors from censoring games!

Not seeing much on my timeline about it anymore, so here's a reminder: payment processors are still trying to censor NSFW content of all kinds, and are in fact getting more aggressive about it; I'm seeing stories of folks losing access every day

Call them & tell them THIS IS BULLSHIT

the world needs more silly comics like this tbh!!

this is so cute x)

holy gender !!!!!!! aaaaa !!!!!!! i need to get like this

pseudosexual is a wonderful word because it's what i am :3

✓ asexual experience of seeing attractive people and thinking yup. thats a hottie. and nothing more
✓ allosexual experience of still getting turned on sometimes with unrelated things like touch and feelings of comfort

repping it!! woo!!

A poster showing a weeping skull wearing a red hat. The skeleton is holding a smartphone that is showing no comments, shares, or likes, as though no one is interacting with its posts. The text on the poster reads "This account does not feed trolls. Block and move on."

"i hope this site doesn't end up like the last one :("

Hope has nothing to do with it--DO YOUR PART!

Twitter & Truth Social are dying. Their users are used to farming outrage for engagement. Don't give them any!

🚫 Don't argue with them!
🚫 Don't quote them!

eight alternate versions of my sona, including: default, sad, even sadder, interacting with strangers, happy alone, feeling awesome, autistically trying to be expressive, and mid-transition to socializing

"interacting with strangers" form, named Rumina. She is much more purple and blue and covered in foliage, but still the same creature underneath. The text on the image is mostly the same as the original ref, with one notable addition being "autistically mimicking how to emote with leaves"

a second person comic detailing how my sona is able to imitate having a cock with vines.

made a bunch of new stuff for my sona!! I'm super happy to be making them feel more real and less like just an avatar. i decided it has lots of control over the foliage on its body, allowing for it to mimic expression and further control over sexual presentation.

Myrrh pointing to the 'spiraling over nothing' drawing I posted earlier and exclaiming 'HEY!!! Too many of you are relating to this and it's bumming me out!!! We have to do something about this!'

Looking altogether too proud of themself, Myrrh continues: 'Fortunately for us, I'm basically an expert at getting so so scared. So here are my 3 awesome tips for when I'm freaking out and need to trick myself into being unscared'

The next panel shows a doodle of Myrrh breathing cartoonishly deeply. The narration reads: 'Tip #1: You can take a deep breath or two. Everybody knows this one and I can feel you all rolling your eyes at me so I won't explain this one but it really does help ok'

The next panel shows a doodle of furniture in a bedroom, each labeled with a material it's made of (e.g. metal, wood, paper, fabric). The narration reads: 'Tip #2: You can look around at all the stuff in the room, and mentally list what everything is made of. I don't remember where I learned this one, but it's a great way to distract yourself for just long enough to calm down.'

Becoming Unscared 101

reposting this again bc it's so good and also i need to make these calls !!!!
