And the KIDS Act, please call about the KIDS Act too! Don't let anyone tell you your voice doesn't matter, we can fend this off as many times as we need 🙏 Thanks again guys you are genuinely so cool

SCREEN 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!

I hate american politics, you can keep refusing the same Act endlessly and they can keep trying again but the MOMENT it passes, it becomes permanent forever and you can't get rid of it and it affects almost the whole world cus its fucking US of A.

finally finished the cleaned up version of my new Solarian character Cahnex. I wanted to try using a new chisel brush for the linework for this one. It was kind of nice but a lot of work lol (NSFW alt below)

Daaaamn. “AI is the asbestos we're shovelling into the walls of our technological society. Our descendants will spend generations digging it out again, and the longer the bubble goes on without popping, the longer it will take to repair the damage." www.thenerve.news/p/cory-docto...

he ran against the full force of the zionist establishment and won. unbelievable victory

They think we're lying about not using it and just too "ashamed" to admit it. The idea that no, I do not in fact use AI for any of the things I do baffles them. If AI disappeared tomorrow, my life would get easier because I wouldn't have to constantly be watching for it's sneaky inclusion.

Guys like this don’t realize that they are the freak

if you have any interest in sword world before the kickstarter hits, check out the fanreddit, they have a deal with the publisher that their translations can stay up Until they get around to officially adapting the content in them so the core books will be taken down relatively soon

oh bcz it's reminded me it's fully insufferable by refreshing the whole-ass page to tell me i'm blocking ads, i thought i'd spread the Gift of Knowledge: you can delete ".fandom.com" from any wikia URL and add "antifandom.com/" to the front of it to not deal with their bullshit. example in reply 👇

We need to return to traditional masculinity, to the time when real men took their kitties for walkies so they could smell smells.

I hate to be disagreeable, but why would anyone put a lead on a cat? Because they still see cats as human accessories, and not as sentient creatures with their own intrinsic value, and the same fundamental drive to live by their own leave as we do. Lift the veil. Be awed by their true beauty.

I have, with my own eyes, watched my tax dollars in the form of missiles as they hit buildings inhabited by civilians. I'd much prefer subsidizing a grocery story I don't use.

Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

Strange Voyagers is inspired by late 1800s/early 1900s science fiction plus some pulp adventure thrown in there. HP, stats, and inventory are all interconnected in a fun way. I had fun whipping this up, and honestly, probably will work on expanding it in the future!

The sub is randomly generated each time you delve it, the different sections being placed on a grid, and then extra tables fill out section-states (flooded, dark, etc) as well as how each section is connected. There's some cool treasure and relics, weird inventions and automatons, and coral zombies

I also whipped up a one-page ttrpg go play it with for the One-Page jam!

Hey, I wrote on this! I did half of the ghost courier section and archetype, and the space goblin section (after having done them in Galactic Ancestries, too!). It was awesome to be able to return to goblins, and get some Lethal Company/Content Warning/Backrooms vibes into Ghost Couriers!

It will be worse than this! Most websites will be forced to ask you to send your ID to a third party surveillance service, adding a credit card won't be enough for most. Bluesky asks for your *social security number* if you live in Texas now, due to this shit. Call in, and kill it.

Eromancer@eromancer.bsky.social · 3d ago

This will be the US if the SCREEN Act passes. Call your Senators before August 5 and tell them that you oppose the SCREEN Act, KOSA, and the KIDS Act. Use the official lookup tool at www.senate.gov/senators/sen... to find yours by state.

Can't believe I haven't posted this buy itself here yet! So Tiger Day is as good a day as any 😤🐯. Fantastic art of my space tiger, Scourge by @tabaxitaxi.bsky.social!

This sucks, but the fight is far from over. Keep calling your reps (local and federal) and tell that their "Online Safety" bills does nothing but hurt our free speech and privacy. These bills are becoming more unpopular, let's keep at it. www.congress.gov/members/find... www.badinternetbills.com

I am TERRIFIED to call people and I call my reps. Even just a simple 'I need you to appeal the KOSA act/Online Safety act or I'm voting against you' is enough of a sentence. it gets them scared, it gets them to act. This isn't just about 'porn', even tame stuff is targeted now. You might be next.

The TOS being so strict that they control you offsite is the problem; sites like Patreon and Kofi have offsite clauses too. The social criminalization of the suggestion that somewhere you might be doing nsfw is a problem. It's branding a person as obscene and we need consumers to stand up for us

We still need help with this, $340 left till we're in the green
