He/Him, bi/queer, big ol’ antifascist lefty patron of the arts. SWF account of smut writer Korg T Orc, so no one under 18. Good riddance to the bird site.

If SCREEN were to pass, you'd be required to scan your face and upload an ID to access this site because it allows "harmful" material. This affects you even if you don't care about sex work or porn.

Mike Lee's SCREEN Act, which heads to Senate Commerce Committee for markup on Wednesday, would expand age verification requirements to a nearly limitless scope of websites, and is supported by the architects of Project 2025.

Denying me a job because a program told you I sound too much like the program that steals from me every damn day? Super villain origin. The next time you see me I'm showing up at the Super Bowl with a bald head and face mask like Bane.

I feel like being extremely online can warp your brain and make you behave in really narcissistic or paranoid ways. I’ve seen it, and I’ve gone through it a bit myself. What’s important is you remember who you actually are deep down. In my case, this is pretty much it.

Guys will listen to male influencer bullshit about needing to have a six pack and manipulate everyone and meanwhile women will go “you know who is the sexiest fucking guy I’ve ever seen?” and post this

Something I’d like to point out about why I think so many people feel “more confident” when they use AI: They don’t have to be vulnerable. It produces things without sufficiently tapping into emotion. With that, it feels like there’s no accountability. If no one likes it, that’s ok! “AI made it!”

My roommate & best friend does not have the same zeal that I do for zombies as a monster in film, but even they commented that “Colony” may be their favorite zombie film, so let that encourage you all to see it when it hits the US.

i just called my Senators regarding the SCREEN Act, KOSA, the KIDS Act, and all these bullshit censorship/spying bills the pedophile Republicans keep trying to shove down our throats. i know you’re all sick of this shit, and so am i. Use 5calls.org to leave a voicemail, it makes it easier

What can you do? CALL. WRITE. SCREAM. The bill is up for a vote THIS WEDNESDAY. Call your Senator. Dem. Republican. Whomever. Right now, it's a solid R bill, but they're looking for Dems to take it across the finish line. Let them know how badly it stinks. www.defendonlineprivacy.com/screen/

It’s amazing what a gormless slough watching Batman: Caped Crusader is. A Joker with no sense of humor. A Riddler with no value of intelligence. A downer Roxie Rocket. A+ “reimagining” there folks. Next up: an animated Green Arrow show with no bow where he’s a diehard Republican. Gritty!

There are plenty of artists who make stuff I wouldn’t want to look at in my spare time, but that doesn’t mean you get to get out of paying them for services rendered. And to be honest? Your “pick me” attitude is gonna be remembered by every other artist and we ain’t gonna want to hang around you.

Reeeeeaaally disappointed in other artists & animators siding with BBNO$ against Slayed because the type of fiction Slayed makes gives them “the ick.” Your puritanism over fictional characters made in Blender doesn’t negate you siding with someone who doesn’t pay their artists.

Unsure if my current tachycardia is from too much caffeine (unlikely), sugar (more likely), or salt (entirely likely), but I am treating it by drinking a lot of water, sitting a lot, and trying not to have panic attacks about it.
