AI might just be one of the most evil creations humanity has ever come up with. Its only purpose is to strip human society of any form of trust, sincerity or genuine creativity and I hate it with everything I have.
genuinely beautiful that new york elected a muslim lefty mayor the same day that dick cheney died
reposting this one CAUSE ONCE AGAIN VERY RELEVANT
BREAKING: Zohran Mamdani will be the next mayor of New York City after running on a platform centered on making the city affordable for working people.
I’m sending nothing but love, best wishes and endless support to you. I hope you’re able to indulge as much as you possibly can, and that good news miraculously appears in your life. Words are cheap but your kind words then meant to the world to me, and I want to thank you for sparing the time.
Kyle, 2 years ago you left a reply on one of my comics that still fills my heart with such encouragement and fulfilment, long after that material has grown trite and naive in hindsight. I hope you know the real lasting impact of the joy you spread, and I’m so incredibly sorry about your situation.

Genuinely powerful words to live by.
Restricting the expression of sexuality through fiction and art made by adults, for adults – including those you find personally disturbing or offputting – is conservative censorship, full stop. When that censorship disproportionately affects subgroups, that's also discrimination. For shame.
draining is a really good for what it feels like to be doing anything creative right now.
Very disappointed in @bsky.app for choosing to silence artists, self moderation is the way. People can block and move on if they don't like what they see.
Censorship is never the way. It's a double edged sword and it WILL be used to hurt creatives.
Being an artist in this fucked up world is so fucking exhausting it just drains me completely sometimes
The solution right now is not saying “move to Mastodon, to Pillowfort, use Picarto galleries” etc, bc that won't stop this silent escalation of censorship and sexual repression on the internet. The issue is not which platform we choose, but rather raising our voices against what is happening.
youre so damn cool kat <3

I have *never* used ChatGPT. Not once.
I’m not saying I’m better than you… oh fuck it, I’m better than you.
Controversial opinion, but I think trans people should feel safe here on bluesky, and nazis shouldn't.
its the 11th of september where i am, or 11/9 so. yknow this seems apt in a way
what a day
A simple line drawing with halftone shading of the titular pig-man from the movie Porco Rosso. He’s wearing a trench coat with the collar turned up and a wide brimmed fedora and sunglasses. His mouth is wide open in a sarcastic laugh. A word balloon says, ‘Maybe it will happen today’

Digital illustration done in a rough comic ink style. A possum mother trundled along with four possum babies on her back. Each possum is speaking a string of connected speech balloons reading ‘maybe it will happen today’.
Everyone on Bluesky is poised like we're waiting for the DVD logo to hit the corner of the screen
bleak. and yet, my sister is getting married next year. i have two people in my life who i'd call platonic soulmates. i have a good relationship with my father. im 25. i have a potluck tomorrow with friends. we're gonna make rings out of spoons. you just have to keep going. what else is there
Why should I write better when a machine can do it for me? Because actually no one can do it for you, because your voice is unique among all the people on earth. Siri never petted a horse's neck. Alexa has never been ghosted by the captain of the football team. But you have lived, your heart is beating, you have suffered, and you have something important to say. It's a human's job, to use words, and whatever job you give to a machine, that part of your brain goes dark. Maybe it's worth it when it comes to remembering phone numbers and directions, but when that part of your brain that uses words goes dark, that's a vast area that's very close to your soul. Don't let some internet platform convince you that what you have to say and create isn't worthwhile. Words are the echo of your soul. Honing that echo matters.
this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like

corporations being able to control what kind of art we're allowed to see on the internet is bad
thank you. that is incredible. I know how much queer blood was spilled in pursuit of that and it’s a momentous thing. Maybe I need to be putting in more effort myself to find this sort of news.
I wish there was literally any good news right now. Feels like it’s been three years of just wading through muck.
the overwhelming degree of unfettered evil that the past few years has revealed in all institutions of the world has done a real number on me. I never thought any of them were paragons of morality, but I somehow had an idea there were levels they wouldn’t stoop to.
