Queer gargoyle babe, they/them 🦇 Old but SFW 🦇 Live2D Artist and Rigger 🦇

So, ArenaNet revealed that GW3 will have 4 races, Humans, Asura, Kodan, and a new 4th one to be revealed. The age old question... Little furry or big furry....

So are we ready to expand the AI hate to "People who are comfortable with and even prefer someone who only ever affirms them and says yes to everything are bad friends at best and abusive partners at worst" yet or does that hit too hard

Probably no stream this week- my only full-time coworker took a week and a half off the same week that all the work on the house is being done, so I'm very busy and very stressed! I'll be fine, but I'm overwhelmed and I really do not want to be recorded in this state lol

I love it when people try to use percentages to try to make something look like an outlier or an insignificant amount we shouldn't care about. A dude said we don't have to raise the minimum wage in my state because only 2% of people make that. That's more than 200,000 people. Including me.

⚠️ STRIPE users ⚠️ Stripe is automatically enrolling free users of their fraud protection program into a paid tier. Free users have to manually go into their accounts and change to a "true free" version.

Email from the payment processor Stripe reading: New Stripe Radar plans and pricing	
 
 
 
 
As fraud on the internet has accelerated over the past few years, we've been rapidly adding to Radar, our fraud prevention product. Last year, we blocked $110B in fraud and shipped dozens of new features. With so much new functionality, we're introducing four tiers—Lite, Standard, Plus, and Pro—and updating pricing.Email continued: What this means for you	
 
 
 
 
The version of Radar you've been using is closest to Standard, and you've been receiving it for free. Starting today, you'll receive a free trial of Radar Standard, which now includes broad protection across all payment methods, along with fraud analytics. After the trial ends on January 22, 2027, you'll automatically continue on Radar Standard and be charged $0.05 per screened transaction.	
 
 
 
 
If you prefer to continue receiving fraud protection for free, you can switch to Radar Lite in one click at any time from the Dashboard. Radar Lite provides essential fraud protection for card payments, powered by Stripe's industry-leading AI models trained on more than $1.9T in annual payment volume. Radar Lite will be included at no additional cost with your payment processing.

Oh yeah, so when I ran an Alien RPG game for my group of North American TTRPG players, I made a monster stat block for chickens who were infected with the pathogen. I called them "foul flockers," they were encountered in the colony's space port, and my friend @mint-teeth.bsky.social designed 'em.

Stream Thursday. The spirit is unwilling and the body? Also feels not so good. Lotta work being done on the house and last night one of the most expensive items we own went missing, lol, lmao

The Elderflower Chemise in Tencel rib knit with color that shifts in various lighting. These chemises are fully adjustable via the cotton twill straps and drawstring neckline. The hem can be trimmed for a custom fit and it’s got pockets! These dresses all come with a braided belt.

I wanna stream today but there's a severe thunderstorm risk and I get really anxious about my PC, will decide in the next half hour to so based on the weather map.

My favorite perfume creator has disappeared and I have half a roller of my favorite perfume ever and I CAN NOT find an alternative. Its listed scents are: dark vanilla, wood, smoky incense, resins "Resins" is so vague and I thought I found the perfect dupe and it's GOOD but too different. 🥺

They gotta invent a Scary Dog Privilege that works on children and "dog people". I have a reactive, 50lb black pit mix, and she will bark, growl, heckles up, and I will have to yell to a grown man that he needs to stay away, she will bite him, and he will look me in the eye and say "She won't."

Got told to "seek mental help" by an outdoor cat person for saying my cats stay inside because they like me and his beg to leave because they see him as the touchy line cook at a cheap restaurant they frequent.

Stop fucking using Twitter. This is what your supporting. Yes I know, I have friends, even close friends, who use it. Fucking stop. I literally think less of you and am disappointed in you. Have an ounce of self control and find a new place to find your comfort/engagement/whatever.

"Grok allowed the man to generate extreme images depicting incest and rape [of his 11 year old stepdaughter] without flagging any harmful behavior... Seemingly, xAI’s child safety system only intervened after the man input a prompt for “gang rape.”"

Finally re-dyed my hair and I can't help but fluff it up and admire it every time I pass a mirror. However, I work entirely in bar lighting and no one will notice until they catch me outside. 🙃

I will concede that using Clearsky to see who's blocking you is bad for mental health, but using Clearsky to see when people become disillusioned with various abusers and finally blocked THEM? Good for mental health.
