⚠ PSA vgen reference scam
this just happened to me (didn't download the file no worries)
don't download .html reference files from vgen
as for commissioners, if you're using your email instead of a vgen account I'd suggest uploading .jpg/.png files for your character references instead of links! 👀
AGAINST ALL ODDS, THOSE WHO BELIEVED BLUESKY THAT THE CRASH WAS DUE TO A DDOS
AND THOSE WHO DIDN'T BELIEVE BLUESKY AND WERE SURE IT WAS BECAUSE OF THE AI VIBE CODING
WERE
BOTH
RIGHT
Great article. It’s especially frustrating being in games (often a white space with a white audience) and having folks attribute linguistic disconnects to not being online enough or young enough when it’s really a lack of understanding of Black slang and/or AAVE.
I can't believe I am falling into Kingdom Hearts again. There's just something about it. Its a powerful type of magical.
...Haha... not me missing my 12th anniversary of beating my first KH game, which was KH2. Whhhaat? Me? No...never...
...It happened again.
Ahh, I miss those days.
Tumblr user thereisselfpreservation "I'm seeing warnings about scammers trying to commission artists but the "reference sheet" for their character they want commissioned isn't an image but a .vbs file ("visual basic script"), and will run a script when you open it, probably to yoink your account(s), but I haven't seen this from anyone who's actually clicked it yet. Just be careful and never open a file like that, 'cause people suck." Reply from the same user: "For reference (heh)" Screenshots of messages. Sender: "Okay, I've sent it now." There's a file attachment called "Shork_YCH_MyReference_v1.vbs". The vbs extension is circled. Sender: "If everything is in order, I can send the overpayment." Sender, in reply to the file attachment (again with the vbs extension circled): "How much would the full piece cost?" thereisselfpreservation: "At a glance, the file name checks out. But!! do not open a .vbs file!!!
You should know that the infamous I Love You virus uses the same trick - Always make sure to turn on 'show file extensions' in your windows/browser settings.

A tumblr post by user dragonladdie that reads "Racism/appropriation of indigenous ppl is RAMPANT in the furry community so let me say some things: STOP calling ur characters w*nd*g*s. You don’t even have to change the design, just stop calling them that. Call them like. Skull deer or some shit there is no reason for you to be using that word. Stop using “spirit animal” in referral to ur fursona. This is obvious idk why it even needs to be said. Stop making “two wolves inside you” jokes. The “two wolves inside you” is in reference to a racist made up native proverb from a white dude. You aren’t appreciating cultures by doing things we tell u to stop. If you want to appreciate: buy from indigenous ppl, respectfully learn about cultures, listen to native people, and DON’T MAKE EXCUSES."
Just a reminder

Glaze 2.2 is out.
It is an update for Windows users to support recent NVidia GPUs (including 50xx GPUs).
Downloads at: glaze.cs.uchicago.edu
Mac users do not need to update.
We are also updating Nightshade to fix the True bug and also support new GPUs. That update is coming in the next few days.
One of the most direct ways to improve a flawed system is simply to end the ability of rich and powerful people to exclude themselves from it. If, for example, you outlawed private schools, the public schools would get better. They would get better not because every child deserves to have a quality education, but rather because it would be the only for rich and powerful people to ensure that their children were going to good schools. The theory of "a rising tide lifts all boats" does not work when you allow the people with the most influence to buy their way out of the water. It would be nice if we fixed broken systems simply because they are broken. In practice, governments are generally happy to ignore broken things if they do not affect people with enough power to make the government listen. So the more people that we push into public systems, the better.
Rich kids should go to public schools. The mayor should ride the subway to work. When wealthy people get sick, they should be sent to public hospitals. Business executives should have to stand in the same airport security lines as everyone else. The very fact that people want to buy their way out of all of these experiences points to the reason why they shouldn't be able to. Private schools and private limos and private doctors and private security are all pressure release valves that eliminate the friction that would cause powerful people to call for all of these bad things to get better. The degree to which we allow the rich to insulate themselves from the unpleasant reality that others are forced to experience is directly related to how long that reality is allowed to stay unpleasant. When they are left with no other option, rich people will force improvement in public systems. Their public spirit will be infinitely less urgent when they are contemplating these things from afar than when they are sitting in a hot ER waiting room for six hours themselves.
This sort of mandatory equality is obviously not what powerful people prefer. They will object that it infringes upon their rights. Because the right in question is the right to pretend that the rights of others are not as important as their own, it is not a right that we should be too bothered about violating. If they want to file a complaint, they can get in line at City Hall, like everyone else.
Reminds me of this from Hamilton Nolan
The one on the bottom right, has "Frills" that convey Xemnas' "emotions" despite not having them. I like to exaggerated his hair because its easy for me to do so. So yes, they'd tilt up or down based on how he feels. Or they'd stand on ends (similar to Saix) when angered. :3 He's my little silly! (....He's a 7ft tall.)
Been doodling one of my favorite KH characters, Xemnas! In a couple of slightly different variations on how I draw his hair, eyes or just him in general.
Gosh, I wonder which one is actually my style. :"")

Clement, the traitorous angel, triumphantly mocks the viewer by tempting them with a part of his halo, holding his flute in the other hand; black, inky cracks are beginning to form along his limbs as his wings loosely fan out as intimidation. He wears a simple black leotard with a sheer teal shawl, and decorative golden scarf draped down his front.
"Have you ever died in a nightmare? Woke up surprised you hadn't earned your fate?"
every time i tell myself to post wips and stuff so im not entirely inactive on here and then i dont.... lol whoops but at least i can still get myself to finish things when i want to

Support the USPS
our wifi went out for maintenance during this when maintenance wasnt supposed to happen for another two hours....... orz
i should post wips here more often..... they might motivate me to keep working on them
which as someone with high anxiety when it comes to things possibly burning and smoking up. isnt fun !
i will be so glad if our oven ever gets replaced bc the big burner on the stovetop has been so unpredictable in trying to figure out what amount of heat is safe to put it at before it goes "what if: i stay red hot until you turn it off completely"
Facebook post by Nekima Levy Armstrong: "Friends, A Breaking News headline just appeared in the Star Tribune, claiming that the national Target boycott ended today. This is false. The writer of the story, Carson Hartzog, is fully aware that the Target boycott was launched in Minneapolis on February 1, 2025. I have spoken to her several times since then, yet she failed to reach out to me, Jaylani Hussein, or Monique Cullars Doty, the three founders of the national Target boycott for the story. Carson even used the photo from our press conference that includes my daughter, Assata Joy and Ms. Rosemary Nevils, an elder in our community, to try to add legitimacy to a bogus story. I am once again disgusted by the Star Tribune and their attempts to minimize and erase the voices of our community. The nationwide Target Boycott is not over, unless and until Target reverses its decision to rollback Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, as we said from the beginning. “Pastor” Jamal Bryant does not speak for us or our community and has zero authority to end the nationwide boycott of Target, a company that is headquartered in Minneapolis. Please don’t believe the hype and these attempts to rescue Target from the effects of capitulating to the Trump Administration. Target rolled back DEI because of Donald Trump. They donated $1 million to the Trump/Vance inauguration committee. Target also allowed ICE to stage in its parking lots during Operation Metro Surge. The nationwide boycott of Target is successful and it will continue. Please continue to shop elsewhere."
Nekima on the Target boycott.
