We have a chance of removing the Online Safety Act!
Any UK residents, PLEASE take the time to fill out the whole form. If we want to remove ID verification on websites that actually don't need it, we need to take action NOW!
Infograph about censorship. It compares it to magnets.
Sorted my thoughts about censorship, so I can stop thinking about it.
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.
Still alive, somehow. Depression is a bastard
More sketches of gal soon
It is happening again.
I know everything is on fire right now but we have to call about this, we’re already calling about everything else, just add it to the pile. The grief I feel rn is indescribable but to them it’s just any given weekday.
This is really all they have left. "We have a pointless and criminal war pushing gas prices through the roof and the global economy to the brink but at least the government isn't treating trans people like they're human beings" will be the entirety of the midterm message.
Been getting a lot of use out of this one lately
//Scam Warning//
Discord scammers are at it again, now they're playing smart and actively targeting furries AND the size community.
I've already seen three instances of this same conversation.
Do not download or click stuff, even from your most trusted friends, without confirming who they are.
Remember, discord is -still- planning to do this in around a month or two. Cancel your nitro, but ALSO call your reps and tell them that online Id/ age verification policy is an unsafe invasion of privacy

You're dm'ing a d&d campaign leather balls in the underdark and you didn't invite me?
I thought we were friends...
:P
Illustration of my shapeshifter djinni Akash. He has blue skin with white marking like the streaks on a blue lace agate, purple amethyst hands and hair, and copper headdress, sash, jewelry and markings. He is holding two copper cutlasses crossed in front of his chest. He has stylized copper marking over his chest and on his abdomen, suggesting surgery scars. A flowing trans pride flag is wrapped around his arms and crowning his head like a halo. Trans right are human rights, now and forever.
I wanted to draw something to depict my mood for this year.
Akash says:
"Pride month is nearly over, but Wrath lasts all year long. These colors will not fade. Trans rights are human rights, now and forever."

All ill add to TDV is this:
Pornography, and the community around it [warts and all] was a major if not primary factor in my realization that i am trans. It is without exaggeration that i say: without porn, i would likely be """cis""" and probably long dead.
In my life these two are linked
Happy trans day of visibility! I’m a gnc nonbinary trans person stuck in a state that just made it illegal for me to use the bathroom safely. If you’d like to help me pay my taxes and climbing medical premiums, my ko-fi tip jar is open #tdov

Omg! Huge shoutout to San Francisco, CA! Ocean Beach, you crushed it! 🌊
I know I'm not the first person to say this, but if you want books about wizards and dragons and magic, Ursula LeGuin's Earthsea novels are *right there* and they have about a million times more heart and beauty in them than anything JKR could ever write.
Yesterday the Indian government removed people's right to self-identify as transgender
The fact that this did made no news, even on LGBTQ focused sites like Pink News is just insane.
A sticker from ohmygollyembroidery on Etsy that says Trans Lives Are More Important Than Harry Potter.
Y'all got on board with "Woody Allen can fuck off forever." Now imagine if he gloated about spending millions of dollars made from his movies to legalize pedophilia.
I really can't put this more clearly.
If you watch the new Harry Potter series, you are directly funding the genocide of trans people, because that's what Rowling gleefully spends HP revenue on.
There's no "death of the author" here, no "there's lots of awful creators." You are funding genocide.
That's a weird mop
It has eyes
This is ethnic cleansing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is an explicit call for ethnic cleansing!!!!!!!!! It's just getting published in the newspaper!!!!!!!!! Jesus fucking christ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Moreover, ICE must be destroyed
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.
reshare for alt text, republicans and rich people who want to privatize mail have been lying about the USPS and trying to push this narrative longer than I've been alive, and imposing massive financial burdens on it to make it "insolvent"
Allow me to convey my hateness for this likeness shit. You wanna see the dead actor? Go watch all the movies they acted in when they were alive. You want new movies? Give new actors paid acting jobs to make new movies. Stop this shit.
I met with AI data labelers in Kenya who are organizing their colleagues to fight the brutal working conditions and horrible pay given to the workers at the "bottom of the AI supply chain." They believe the NDAs they've signed are unenforceable so are speaking out:

NSFW Artists being attacked on all fronts while the government actively protects pedos is fucking nuts and shouldn't be ignored.
Maybe bc I grew up in the 00s when the internet was barely censored at all but I learned to mind my own damn business and leave others alone, it’s not real.
There are ACTUAL pedo rapists in power with physical evidence of it and ppl are focusing on taboo fiction?? I can’t take it here
