Attendees can be assured they will always experience fully original comic book art created with heart and soul by perfectly imperfect human brains and hands at the Oklahoma Comic Arts Festival.

We're sitting around 12%, 13%, and 5% containment for each of the three fires. We are not a big city or a place that gets a lot of media attention so people are already acting like this is over but it very much isn't. Please keep Spokane in your thoughts and help out if you can

City of Spokane@spokanecity.org · 3d ago

As the Spokane community continues to face the devastating impacts of local wildfires, you can help your neighbors. We will continue to update this thread with more opportunities to help!

Hey remember when Nanowrimo said "sure why not" to allowing AI slop in their process and then immediately died after 20 years of operation oh, no reason, was just thinkin' about it

Hey Romancelandia! Anyone able to share info?

K. Morrissey@katiedidnt.bsky.social · 2h ago

Hi all! I'm trying to collect examples of romance and/or romance-adjacent games, book projects, comics, etc. that would have be affected by the Kickstarter, Patreon, Itch.io, or Steam adult content bans. Does anyone know any specific creators or projects which were at risk or were directly affected?

Last time I went to the grocery store I saw someone walking their cat on this road. Today two people were walking their tortoise. Not turtle. Tortoise. Next time... who knows

I didn't get many high quality pictures of my Rin cosplay from Mermaid Swamp but it's such a fun game that it shall now be my icon (that wig shed like crazy tho) Photo by my partner at Hell's Hollow! #cosplay

My application to be a vendor/seller on Fybe was approved! 🥳 I am excited, I know I am woefully behind on a lot of things, need to get everything set up on there. I really hope Fybe thrives ❤️

Katie Croonenberghs Art@kamakru.bsky.social · 2d ago

I really hope this takes off. There needs to be a creative storefront marketplace that actually bans genai and drop shipping, and I hope it's a 100% ban. Etsy is completely ruined and not artist friendly. Much luck to Fybe! fybe.art

gofundme is erroring out when I try to donate so that's fun ;-;

Hey guys, a year on Rebecca is still struggling with homelessness and cancer. If you have even a few dollars to throw her way, every bit helps! It's so difficult to get out of this kind of trap in the US and impossible without help. www.gofundme.com/f/keep-rebec...

hey anime nerds, please consider helping a fellow fan out with a donation or share. I cannot imagine how devastating this must be. It's already so hard to live in this economy, to have to start from literally nothing is heartbreaking!

Mitchy | ミッチィ@artistmitchy.bsky.social · 3d ago

I don’t care if I’m revealing my location. Last night, my house was destroyed from the Old Trails fire burning in Spokane, Washington. I have my family, my pets, but nothing else. I won’t have anyway to make money for a while, so I need donations. paypal.me/HFehlig

An amazing fellow archivist who has donated settei to Settei Dreams before has unfortunately lost their house in a wildfire recently. If you are able, consider donating. ❤️

OTTO 🌺@mediamonster.bsky.social · 3d ago

Mitchy and I lived in the same house. I was able to save a handful of things including my laptop, but pretty much all of my archiving equipment and materials are now gone. If you’re able to, please consider donating to her PayPal or to my Ko-Fi: ko-fi.com/mediamonster

The SCREEN act sounded horrible so glad it's dead for the time being, but KOSA and others are still a possibility, so don't stop fighting!

Free Speech Coalition@fsc.bsky.social · 7h ago

SCREEN Act, which would have required mandatory age-verification for sites (like this) that allow "material harmful to minors" failed to pass out of committee after thousands and thousands of people called their Senators. More work ahead!

I was having a good morning writing, got up, and, well, I'm going to go do something else now.

"that mug is so big you'll probably have to use it as a bowl" he said well no however I haven't gotten the sugar ratio quite right (this is very very sweet :( ) Tiny Miku for scale

Lrp aaand this is not an accident. I've been evaluating convention harassment policies since 2018 and unfortunately we're trending toward a good amount of cons' policies getting worse. They "cared" in 2019 when the VM stuff was in the news. Now? "My work here is done" "But you didn't do anything"

Almost like the entire culture is one where harassment is still not only tolerated but expected and to a point, encouraged. Just, now, they don't have to fake it because they think the Wokes aren't watching (maybe bc everything else sucks so bad). Guess what though bitch I'm watching even HARDER

Thanks to recent bullshit from shit like Anime Matsuri, New Mexico Comic Expo, & every usual chud on Twitter, folks are now relitigating this shit on Reddit, FB, & in the comments of my video, repeating talking points from 7 years ago that we have documentation of being wholly fucking incorrect.

it is 2006. I am warning my friends that Vic Mignogna is unsafe and not to be trusted. it is 2026. I am warning the internet that Vic Mignogna is still unsafe and still not to be trusted. WHEN WILL THIS END?!

FINNY RESPONSE 😂 fuck that's a good typo here 🐟

Fey (フェイ)@feytaline.bsky.social · 9h ago

There's a screencap of a post going around that reminded me of this image. I know, I love a good QRP dunk too, but we gotta remember reposting is spreading the bad take as well as the finny response, and sometimes the bad take is INTENTIONALLY bad, trying to upset you to laugh at your anger.

I love this theory and also if this intrigues you then you should read Plain Bad Heroines

Underappreciated aspect of The L Word theme song is prominently featuring angel’s trumpets overhanging the iconic pool. Implying that these lesbians are having full psychotic breaks as a result of accidental prolonged exposure. Which actually explains a lot about The L Word

there are two types of fans of things- those who treat it like a hobby and understand it's ok to laugh at things you enjoy and those who use it to replace church or whatever in their lives and are very vigilant against Blasphemy

Can Big Walk be the game where we stop calling them "friendslop"? It's feels incredibly embarrassing that professional writers are using this term, such a dismissive attitude

"Slop" used in any context other than AI art immediately tells me that I should not be reading this author.

AI verifiers are no friends to writers. They were built from the same stolen work as every other generative AI model out there… and the damage to authors is REAL. A beefy 🧵👇
