• Delivering single-sex spaces on the basis of biological sex, in NHS wards, schools, sport and everyday life by upholding the Equality Act and delivering clear instructions to public services on how to comply with their legal obligations to women and to trans people. • Keeping women's prisons for women, instructing the Scottish Prison Service to remove all biologically male prisoners from women's prisons within days of the election. • Recommit the NHS to delivering single sex wards on the basis of biological sex, and ensuring patients can request same sex provision wherever possible.

Today’s mood.

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together 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... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

At least we held hands through it this time :floortime:

I feel like my train of thought for a lot of my art is "but what if it was evil" idk what this says about me lol.

if you care about trans people, do not watch the new jk rowling show. don’t even hate watch it or you will be funding this new intentionally transphobic organization. we cannot allow hateful people take away more of our rights

A sticker from ohmygollyembroidery on Etsy that says Trans Lives Are More Important Than Harry Potter.

Invest in your friends’ OCs. It’s like being in a fandom, except you get the benefit of having the inside scoop, too.

Yes, show me the “bad” sketch, pitch me the shower thought… I love it.

a ghost makes friends with a cat, but they can't touch. the last panel the cat is also a ghost and he has picked her up and is petting her and smiling

1-page comic

A scene from the Titanic where the boat sinks and the orchestra keeps playing. Over the sinking ship, it says "fascism" and over the band it says "smut artists"

FYI to you purist cunts: It won't stop with smut.

Digital sketch of Julien Davinos from Critical Role 4. There are two portraits of him, in one he looks annoyed and in the other he is looking at the viewer, slightly contemptuous or bored. The background is dark and the picture is grainy and overall pretty dark with muted colours.

Julien sketches as little warmups before work..
still figuring out how to draw him..

if you've got some pose/interaction ref images you'd like to see as the CR4 guys, please throw them my way!

A text image of a small part of the transcript of a conversation between Ari Shapiro and David Simon (Creater of 'The Wire') on a segment on NPR during the wirter's strike of 2023: Shapiro: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without AI, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had that tool to solve those thorny problems... Simon: What? Shapiro: ...Or saying... Simon: You imagine that? Shapiro: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over. Simon: I don't think AI can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level. Shapiro: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into AI and say, give. me 10 ideas for how to transition this. Simon: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

And if you think this is just some BS meme image, you can listen to the man himself: www.npr.org/transcripts/...

This is the really big news here imo, its not just the sora app thats gone but chatgpt wont be doing videos either. This is a massive hit to openAI. Hopefully this hit causes internal bleeding that kills them as painfully as possible.

unfriendly reminder that jkr donated £70k that went towards the changing of actual law in the u.k to define what a woman is and isn't. if you're at all a harry potter fan still despite all this, then i urge you to get the fuck over it and quickly

i think sometimes cis people truly have a hard time understanding that jk rowling is a living person actively using her wealth to fund the international assault on trans lives. she’s not some Complicated Author we can have a spirited debate about separating from the art with!!!!!

didn't think i'd ever need to say this but-

i will never, fucking ever, use AI. if you see inconsistencies in my art, its because i'm human.

AI is colonial violence in a new form. it threatens all of us, esp artists. i have been an artist my entire life. why the fuck would i ever use it.

you are loved, and we will win

a digital illustration of two gauntlets/hands, a dark one with golden details and white/lighter one, both inspired by renaissance 15th/16th century armor. their fingers are slightly reaching out for each other. both hands are wrapped in a red ribbon that says 'No Love, however brief, is wasted.' In between there are white periwinkles as a symbol for fond memories

I was asked to give my thoughts on generative AI usage in games - here they are!

a black and white edit that reads "the future includes trans people". around the text is a floral pattern. the image is grainy

the future is for trans people

it really is shocking how much self deprecation is seen as a cultural requirement for 'serious art.' 'real' artists are not allowed to exalt their work and must present it publicly as a sort of 'i dont think this is very good but maybe you will get around to it.' HECK THAT. love yourself

it comes from the heart 🫶
