"Pronouns used to be a funny joke, Hank. Until the government tried to tell me I couldn't use them anymore. So now I'm adamant about making sure trans people are gendered right. Not for their sake. But because I'll be damned if the US government is going to tell me what words I can and can't use."

Folks, turns out the "Would you still like it if AI was banned" guy was doing a very poorly phrased thought experiment. I'm super OK dunking on anyone suggesting we "need" AI but I'm less OK dunking on someone wondering what this means for our world. So with my apologies, I deleted that post.
People of Dagsion, hear me now, as I declare that three more years of Fire Emblem discourse... has begun!
There is no ethical consumption of Harry Potter. And not in the usual "no ethical consumption under capitalism" way. In the "your fandom is now comprised of hate symbols" way.
JKR explicitly said she considers anything Potter-related, even fan-made, endorsement of her politics. And every time you engage with this franchise, you signal to the industry that there's still money in it and they should keep pumping out content from full-cast audiobooks to book box partnerships.
I still haven’t finished Gundam IBO but I was reminded of my very correct headcanons today
Texas isn't a red state. It's a state held hostage by gerrymandering and voter suppression. Hell, earlier this week they announced they're shutting down half the voting centers in Tarrant County (that's Fort Worth, 2.2 million people) and kicked everyone out of the hearing who wanted to comment.
This is a sentimental essay about politics, which I know isn't the fashion, and yet the editors at @newrepublic.com let me write something personal about the Lone Star State. Link in the replies.

#WIPWednesday I’m away from my studio for a while but I have a thumbnail to share for my next big project! Inspired by lyrics to one of my favorite songs, Prosperity may find himself in some danger sometime soon… ✨ || #art #digitalart #sketch #drawsteel #mcdm #mcdmfanart #ttrpg ||
After talking to a young writer last night, I want to remind you all that it's okay to write without an assignment or goal. Write to explore a new technique, get an idea out of your head, or as emotional exhalation. Write for the raw joy of it. For you alone. It doesn't need to go into a portfolio
Since people seem interested, I've coded a version of this that yields better results, is more optimized, and allows you to customize the texture of the noise. It's free, and forever will be free. Enjoy! chaoclypse.itch.io/xerox-hell
I coded a web app that xerox's your images for fun! Just drag an image in and play with the dials. If nothing shows up (or it's all black) you may want to play with the threshold (first slider). Press "S" to save the image! editor.p5js.org/Chaoclypse/f...
While the SCREEN Act failed in the committee, KOSA did move forward. Contact your senators immediately demanding it be opposed, and keep the pressure up until it comes to a vote in the Senate
The Senate Commerce Committee just passed KOSA out of committee with zero debate & failed to move the SCREEN Act. punchbowl.news/article/tech...
