Trans Artist, streamer, legion. Have also been told I have a nice voice. https://www.koalaphoenix.com/
"Pronouns used to be a funny joke, Hank. Until the government tried to tell me I couldn't use them anymore. So now I'm adamant about making sure trans people are gendered right. Not for their sake. But because I'll be damned if the US government is going to tell me what words I can and can't use."
There is no ethical consumption of Harry Potter. And not in the usual "no ethical consumption under capitalism" way. In the "your fandom is now comprised of hate symbols" way.
s. e. smith@sesmith.lol · 15h agoJKR explicitly said she considers anything Potter-related, even fan-made, endorsement of her politics. And every time you engage with this franchise, you signal to the industry that there's still money in it and they should keep pumping out content from full-cast audiobooks to book box partnerships.
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 · 16h 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!
Gonna be blunt, the reason I complain about AI so much is because it's made so much extra work for me, as I'm inundated with AI slopware games that I have to sort through and filter out, if this garbage tech ceased to exist tomorrow, it would be an immediate ease of that workload.
Ayo@darrylayo.bsky.social · yesterdayGuys like this don’t realize that they are the freak
Fem voice training usually talks too much about the larynx and pitch. I can lower my larynx and hit low fem tones and still sound fem bc it's about more than just your dang larynx. I'm not saying this is easy stuff to do, just saying it can absolutely be done.
It would probably be better to not record and edit audio on my ancient phone, but I don't wanna get up and start up my aging PC just to do shiptoasts
Kinda wanna record some voice lines. Send me stuff to say. Anything goes.

Zach Bussey 🍁@zachbussey.tos.gg · 5d agoTwitch and Amazon are apparently planning to use streams to train Generative AI. Multiple sources tell me it will be announced in the coming months, despite some internal friction against it. Creators may be able to opt out of some training data.
Holy shit they're bringing back classic league of legends
You want them to know you read the message but actively don't wanna respond. What's your line?
Lazy people aren't frustrated by not doing things. That's not laziness.
I don't want to reverse image search shit. If I like your art I wanna type in your username, handle, whatever, and find you, and follow you. Reverse image search is ass. Sign your art. Sign your art. Sign. Your. Art.
Also this goes for every commissioner out there. SFW & NSFW Artists get targeted by PP regardless if they are complying to their rules or not. So, please do not give them any reason to freeze someone's account and ban them from using PP, some people don't have other options but to use it.
Kitsyna Tyakoto, Painted Jolteon@kitsyna.bsky.social · 9mo agoAs posted in a few servers and was alerted to this picture earlier today: What they said. DO NOT FILL IT OUT, it is there to fuck with your artist peers and yourself, they (paypal) can and will abuse this and steal your money by banning your account
Sign or watermark your art Just do it How am i supposed to find you, the artist, if it's reposted without your signature Sign it IDC if it's "not very good" or whatever if it's good enough to share it's good enough to sign it And make it LEGIBLE
I used to be worth something. I don't know why I should keep going when I know that's never coming back.
I love when my skeets get noticed by the slopshit accounts or people who think I don't know anything about what I'm talking about. To those accts: Even *if* I don't know shit about it (but I do), I can probably bullshit more accurately than what you think you know.
Anyway back in the early days of genAI slop if the image generators were given no prompt but forced to generate something anyway, they made fractals and nightmares. If a machine is creative, it likely looks smth like that.
Allow me to correct myself here. It did not in fact find 4chan, that was my error. It was named "Tay" and it was a Twitter bot that turned into a bigot and Nazi within 24 hours every time M$ set it loose. This was in 2016. My point is not changed by this.
KoalaPhoenix 🏳️⚧️@koalaphoenix.bsky.social · 2w ago"But you like Data from Star Trek why not GPT" Does anyone remember that one AI in like 2016 that Microslop made? They ran a supercomputer thru the internet for like a day and let it develop a personality from it. It found 4chan and became a racist nazi within 24 hours.
I need a better measurement (that works) for my boobs than my hands. They've been a double handful for a while, but now they're bigger than a double, and idk if I'm just measuring wrong or if they're growing again or what.
Reskeeting with alt text But yeah this Ive had quite a few people ask me "wait you've never used it? Why not it's so fun" and I'm there like why would I want someoen else to do the thing I love for me? Its the same as when I say I don't want players to design my world thr making is what I love!

I've done such a good job at avoiding the septic pits of the web over the past couple years that I honestly didn't fully realize how bad it's gotten. It's a monsoon flood of AI fecal matter. Just vile waste. And like a bubble of shit, it's gonna cover everything in shit before it pops.
