again i am just not that interested in debating whether human rights should theoretically extend to robots and ai when we currently don't even extend them to all humans
Our feature artist/reference for today is this lovely page of FOLD and CREASE studies, but the talented @therobuts! Those notation lines are great for showing how a PULL in fabric at one point can result in an ANGLE CHANGE at the hem! #anime #manga #characterdesign #illustration

Nina Marotta ☢️💙@mrschief7.bsky.social · 4d agoYou're offered $250,000,000 but to claim it you must enter the last video game you've played and stay there for a full year. How are y'all faring in this deal?
Has anyone ordered from Hyena Agenda recently and actually received your order? Two and a half months and I'm considering putting in a chargeback
I'm going to be honest. This isn't even worth pirating. I know people love to suggest "JuSt PiRaTe It" No. Do not. There is no separating the art from artist. Rowling's bigotry is baked into the world.

I'd argue that, for the metrics, it's vastly MORE important that viewers turn this off. There's more viewers than streamers, so even if every streamer turned this off, if viewers don't, the executives can still claim that "most users don't care" and cram it down our throats even harder. Opt out.

Big Bend is one of the wildest places left in Texas. Border barrier construction threatens protected lands, wildlife corridors, and communities on both sides of the Rio Grande. This is a region with remarkably few crossings. This place means so much to me; please help protect it c.org/tf7vc9Hkqf
Food and art baked into a yummy package. 🫓 A stunning, traditional Uzbek bread known as Patir - a dense and celebratory flatbread. The bread is meticulously decorated by hand with detailed patterns stamped into the center and a sculpted, flower-like border. It is then baked in a tandoor oven.

SOME GOOD NEWS! continue to contact your reps re: KOSA and the KIDS Act, but also give yourself a pat on the back if you called! Your voice mattered!
Free Speech Coalition@fsc.bsky.social · 2w agoSCREEN 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!

Alison Boden@alisonboden.bsky.social · 2w agoThe SCREEN Act just failed to pass in the Senate Commerce Committee! 🎉 Enormous thanks to the thousands (!!) of you who told your Senators to vote no! Your voice matters and you should feel good that you made a difference. Obviously, the fight isn't over, but this was an important victory.

Hey local Orlando/Orange County friends, go get your early voting done, and know who you're voting for. Alicia Farrant is a Moms For Liberty homophonic transphobic pest who's vying for control of our local schools and education to ban books and erase lgbt kids.
Please call, there's two more stops in the senate, and they're rumoured in trying to aim for the 29th of this month for a markup!!
Fight for the Future@fightforthefuture.org · last mo.‼️ KOSA update: ICYMI Earlier this month, a bill package that incl this bill passed out of the House in a rushed vote. www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-ne... This is alarming BUT it isn't the end of the road. Here's what we know:
Massachusetts folks: we're in the home stretch. Age verification could still become law if we don't fix this bill. Call today and call again! 978-485-4694 or www.stoponlineidchecks.org/ma/
I think one reason data center outrage is so pronounced is people spent decades recycling and composting and otherwise scrimping to offset energy use and protect clean water, and the second we hit an inflection point for cheap electricity the banking industry said we’re taking all of it, fuck you
