When trans creators are subtle, people dismiss the trans subtext as “headcanon.” When trans creators are loud and proud, people call it “obnoxious” and “cringe.” They just don’t want us to be represented in media at all. Because they don’t want us to exist at all.

I think, to me, maybe Eric Bauza’s greatest accomplishment was putting his rising career on the line to speak up about Coyote Vs Acme’s cancellation. He had founded a charity, Saturday Morning Cartoons United, and some proceeds went to the currently ailing animation industry

For Eric Bauza

Lev, one of the most famous pallas cats, was fostered by house cats btw

Human made art, even low budget human art, is thousands of times better than any ai slop could ever "make"

China’s first AI-generated theatrical feature has flopped, earning just $181,000 in its first weekend. By contrast, the scrappy ‘Niu Lai’ turned its crude animation into a viral attraction, grossing nearly $10 million a couple of months ago. www.cartoonbrew.com/box-office-r...

Voters making a choice is kinda the whole point of elections

Is Bluesky melting for anyone else today? On my feed if I try to click on the share link arrow it pages me up to the top of my feed and sometimes shows me the share options for the very top option of my feed, but most of the time not.

He did it. He really fucking did it. If it weren’t for Eric Bauza, we would most likely never saw Coyote vs ACME see the light of day. Thank you Mr. Bauza.

Not only that there are many artists who enjoy drawing porn and they shouldn't be ashamed to sell it and charge what they're worth. Shaming sex workers who star in porn and artists who draw porn just makes things more dangerous for them and hurts their livelihoods.

I think artists and sex workers should have a natural allyship. Both of us are often told we should not be allowed to charge for our work if it is at all pleasurable. Both of us are wanted for what we can do, but our work is considered not worth paying for. We should stick together

People abroad don't understand the level of interference Meta & bots had in these elections. 5 days before the election a far-right politician posted a fake news video that got 157 MILLION views on Instagram in 24hs. For reference, GTA 6's reveal trailer got 90 million views on YouTube in 24hs.

I will not forget that Zuckerberg and Facebook shut down the accounts of the most popular presidential candidate in one of the largest democracies in the world, and he was elected anyway

This is just what AI always does without fail. It is the "yes and" machine. It will never say "this is good, no notes." It will go off book and invent work that doesn't need to be done because it will always be adding.

the fucking Xiaopocalypse is upon us

hey just a heads up kiwifarms is trying to spread some fake allegations about us around, dont fall for any of it, its all extremely easily disproven, u know the drill, thx ❤️🖤

This seems like a case of "got mine" and now it's time to salt the earth for anyone who doesn't. Or maybe it's a case of trying to stay relevant. Whatever it is, laziness is no excuse. Many of us artists create human-made art through times of illness, chronic pain and civil unrest.

LMAOOOO

A sketch that's been laying dormant in my files.

also this is more evident in the fact that to this day, an AI cannot just take in artistic concepts and then make its own art. It cant learn how to draw on its own, or at least not in a way that is viable For these Gen AI slopists to exist, they had to steal from the countless

Something I wish more people would realize.

I think this is genuinely the first time you guys are gonna see me post about anything sonic related but -- I love Ray the flying squirrel! He's my favourite sonic character so I wanted to try and draw him :D

‘Customers should be less informed about the products they buy’ is such a wild stance to take

I can't believe he's still at it, it's been days

it's because they literally have no visual education; so they do not know how to convey anything without the help of text tools don't make you an artist

Continuing the tradition of Everything Being Labeled For Some Fucking Reason

On top of this, AI narrators suck. There's no intonation, no sense of when to stress words or put emotion in the voice. It's soulless. What author would want their book read by the same voice they use on Tiktok Subway Surfer videos?

Indie Book Spotlight@bookspotlight.bsky.social · 3d ago

Seeing folks defend gen AI audiobooks is so gross. So fuck the narrators, huh? Virtual voice is bullshit and yes, you’re part of the problem. I don’t care that you feel entitled to an audiobook. YOU ARE NOT ENTITLED TO EVERYTHING. I hate this mindset. Get over yourselves.

A GenAI T-shirt design won the vote at work. I thought it was too complicated of a pattern to start but thought the bone hand having six fingers was obvious. When I saw my coworkers propping the torso mannequins I made it known. I get a nervous chuckle, "That's so funny I didn't even notice!"

Huge. Looks like the 'adult links are blocked' thing in the bio links is actually being addressed!
