Rowling *never* writes about women’s rights, workplace discrimination or the threats to women from predatory men. I tracked her posts for five months: Well over 200 hateful transphobic smears. Not a single post about women’s actual concerns or needs None

Before Google’s arrival a few months ago, an estimated quarter of a million trees occupied the 330 hectares (815 acres) of forest near the town of Muhos in rural northern Finland. Now they are all gone.

MCM London! Come to the forest, allow it to beguile you! WB-01, opposite Posca Pens!

Also, the scrapers are actually impoverished workers in developing nations. As usual, the magic technology is just human exploitation yet again.

Some are suggesting you deliberately write inaccurate or confusing alt text, because they say this confuses AI scrapers that are analyzing images. The purpose of alt text is to help people who cannot see the image. Deliberately misrepresenting the image is a gross misuse of alt text. Don't do it.

This should horrify everyone.

Bethany wore a “Protect The Dolls” t-shirt during rehearsals. The BBC posted it on their socials then quietly deleted and reposted it without showing her from the front. On TV last night they actually blurred the message #Strictly

I'm not an artist, but I'm also not going to steal from artists, so here's proof that you can do promo images without using AI!

Holy fuck Dave Fane's prize task in episode 2 of Taskmaster NZ is OFMD-centric and I had to scream very quietly about it because my housemate is asleep. www.dailymotion.com/video/xb7yuxy

The attacks in Edinburgh, in which an armed bare-chested white man terrorised Muslims, leaving five people injured, don't feature on a single newspaper front page this morning. Two tier journalism

Immigrants, too.

Maybe if Keir Starmer hadn't thrown pensioners, transgender people, and disabled people under the bus, and burbled on about how hurting these people brings "clarity", more people would have supported him. You don't get to dump on people and expect them to thank you for you it.

Aziraphale has a Principality Challenge brewing for you all, but in the meantime it is PriDe Month, and I thought why not bring a little more chaos? So introducing The Mischief. And this June the Challenge I lay out for you lot is to fill the Book of Pride.

Just a little PSA- Neil Gaiman has reactivated his Bluesky account. Because he deactivated before a lot of people could unfollow him, and/or because Bluesky doesn’t remove you from a person’s followers when you block them, a LOT of you are still publicly listed as following him. You should check.

Ok OFMD crew. Let's fill a treasure chest [digital scrapbook] for our beloved Calypso. Send your fanart, cosplays, or things Calypso has inspired you to make/do/be. Messages wishing Kristian well would also be lovely! Please share with those not on Bsky too 💚🤍💙https://forms.gle/qQb5LEFsvisLayCj6

Happy Anniversary to our beloved #OFMD - the reason the Wee Con exists at all, and how so many of our hardy crew met each other! 10 days to go for the kickstarter now, digital and in-person shenanigans will be afoot :) #theweecon www.kickstarter.com/projects/fyr...

I'm looking to revamp the Siren Events logo and branding. If anyone does this as a job / side hustle and is looking for some paid extra work and is interested, please DM me to discuss rates etc. My aim is to always support artists and designers in fandom, wherever possible.
