This is good news. Among its many horrors the SCREEN Act is an incredibly anti-trans piece of legislation, so it's good to see it fail.

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!

This place is real, but it's also an amalgamation of memories. The way we remember a landscape can be very different from its literal appearance. Some things become larger and clearer, others smaller and fuzzier. 🧵

Do not messe wyth writers. Thei are the kyndeste and meanest and weirdest folk on Earthe. Thei kan create a person yn a second, or make a partye be rememberid for two thousande years. Thei kan stitch and unstitch worldes. Thei give names to emociouns we do not yet understande. Odd people, mightye.

May the forest grant me the serenity to accept myself as I am, the courage to enter the shrouded shadows, and the wisdom to know my place among the mossy horrors of the wildlands.

More boys should be pointedly told that “beauty” is 99% proper grooming, hygiene, and clean, well maintained clothing. Like, just look like you care.

This is one of those images from years back that I loved.

A writer is a person who cares what words mean, what they say, how they say it. Writers know words are their way towards truth and freedom, and so they use them with care, with thought, with fear, with delight. By using words well they strengthen their souls.

IT'S MY BIRTHDAY YAY 🎂🎉✨️ I make cool monster art/merch if you wanna check out my shop! Shares are greatly appreciated! 🤍

Ray Harryhausen's stop-motion skeletons in Jason and the Argonauts are amazing even now. He animated the sequence by himself for more than four months -- without computers or even an easy way to check his work. We're looking into how he did it: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/how-ray-ha...

I will cosign this with this: there are so many furry artists out there with so many different and varied price points. You can find an artist you can afford if you really think you need one. Meanwhile, the plagiarism machine is powered by blood and stolen work

If you are a furry author and using AI for your book covers or to advertise stories on AO3 I do not trust your work and I will banish you to the shadow realm

There is no version of yourself you could become that would satisfy the people who hate you. So you might as well be who you are.

Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.

The way profit maxxing corpo culture has invaded every form of art through algorithms pushing people into daily posting is really weighing on me lately. Efficiency and regularity of making "content" being prized above all else feels so grim, man.

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.

The horrors persist. I am the horrors. Enjoy some very normal #frogs. Oh, and happy shark week~

When someone, especially someone who is also a BIPOC or queer, professes an apathy or everlasting anxious avoidance to politics — I know they will not easily or not ever see why politics decides whether I live or die.
