Saw a post saying "I don't want NSFW accounts to talk about voting, just let me jack off" Buddy, NSFW artists and sex workers are being constantly attacked by a government of nonces trying to distract from their own crimes by pinning the blame on porn. They have the right to speak up about this.

Hi everyone. I'm facing housing problems again. My landlord has decided to kick me out since I can't make the rent. I fucking hate this shit.
Watch a ton of creepy Vote Blue No Matter Who Democrats start saying "never thought I'd be in agreement with JD Vance, but....."
JD Vance: "We don't want the next administration, whoever -- god forbid you're gonna have President El-Sayed in three years ... "
Fun fact: If you’re working on a drawing of Brad Boimler or Misato Katsuragi, you’ll use the exact same marker color palette for both characters.
Seriously, I have quite a few decently sized bills coming up that I definitely need to be able to pay. Anything helps<3
I hate to have to do this, but I am a trans woman in a really tough financial situation and I have no income due to some health issues that have prevented me from working. If you can assist at all I would really appreciate it. ko-fi.com/maplemonarchy
If SCREEN were to pass, you'd be required to scan your face and upload an ID to access this site because it allows "harmful" material. This affects you even if you don't care about sex work or porn.
Mike Lee's SCREEN Act, which heads to Senate Commerce Committee for markup on Wednesday, would expand age verification requirements to a nearly limitless scope of websites, and is supported by the architects of Project 2025.
"saudi arabia owns EA" is going to be the headline you see basically everywhere for this one but "jared kushner is about to use EA as a vehicle for trump administration bribes" is equally relevant imo

Not only is "friendslop" good, this newly defined genre of tightly-focused multiplayer indie games have been able to swing at AAA live service games for real good reasons lately. Also, after the top of the page, I pitch the new name "bestiecore" here. Yay bestiecore. www.mmorpg.com/editorials/s...

I think my main takeaway from Hank Green using AI shit aside from plagiarism is that it's a horrifically shameful abdication of responsibility as a science communicator. You have an obligation to a standard of ethics and veracity in a position like his and I don't think that's guaranteed w AI use.

Isekai as a genre is exploding in popularity because it appeals to a universal desire to get hit by a truck rather than live in the 21st century.
I and many of my friends stream on Twitch. I say, *absolutely the fuck not*. Friends who stream on Twitch, there is a comment thread here where you can make your voices heard: twitch.uservoice.com/forums/92338... This is the *least* they can do.

Twitch 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.
Between Hank Green and Ken Jennings it's been a tough week for skinny middle aged white dudes with rancid vibes.

A strip done in collaboration with the @humanartistry.bsky.social , starring Question Hound as he gets some unwanted help for a comic he’s working on:
Reminder that we published an extensive interview with a former editor at The New York Times who laid out, in detail, how the paper's pushing of anti-trans bigotry was both very intentional and directed from the very top of the organization. The NYT plays a direct and major role in trans genocide:
