Hi, I'm Jai! I'm an artist and illustrator focusing on SF&F, LARP and very silly cartoon sloths. I can also be found on deviantart, tumblr, mastodon, facebook and instagram! Commissions: illustratedjai@gmail.com Shop: https://illustratedjaishop.etsy.com

Having one of those days where I dream of quitting the day job and just going full time with my art... And then doing the maths on how much art I'd have to do in order to afford the mortgage. /Sighs and types morosely on the work laptop

in an alternate universe, we could be having nuanced discussions over ethical uses of AI (even gen-AI) but when the AI's biggest advocates are cartoon villains who want us all dead, it's our moral imperative to aggressively reject AI and to make it socially unacceptable to use

Another study on youth transition that find that about 97% of all youth who says they're trans turn out to be. Only 1.1% who start HRT stopped it for any reason whatsoever. This is, like, the fifth youth transition study that I'm aware of, and all of their results have been identical.

Canadian researchers found that 97 percent of youth who seek treatment for gender dysphoria still identify as trans years later.

Gender Census@gendercensus.bsky.social · 3w ago

The 13th annual international Gender Census 2026 is now open until at least 13th August 2026! survey.gendercensus.com It's for anyone whose gender (or lack thereof) isn't described by the M/F binary. It's short and easy, and results are useful in academia, business and self-advocacy. #LGBTQ

Promotional image. Title: Gender Census 2026. Text: If you can't easily put yourself into just one of these two boxes, you are invited to take part. Images: On the left, a box with a Venus/female symbol on it, patterned with tree bark. On the right, a box with a Mars/male symbol on it, patterned with grass.

What if I told you that all of the Publishing Agreements I have reviewed in the last 6 months (several dozen) included a no gen AI provision, wherein the use of gen AI in development is a material breach, but companies like Epic and EA are still trying to convince us the industry is cool with it

He's only gone and written 2,500 more words about how game devs feel about generative AI. Latest piece quotes around two dozen different people with an indie background. When asked how they feel about gen AI, not one, but two devs responded, "Fuck that shit." www.gamesradar.com/games/it-cre...
