Books are bottled empathy. They’re telepathy in physical form. Fiction makes us better people because it gives us a safe place to experience and learn to care through the most complex pain. Remember: fascists have designated empathy a sin & moral failing. They don’t want you caring for anyone.

A key point in Fahrenheit 451 is that books were banned because they made people depressed and uncomfortable. The novel's protagonist, Montag, is taken into custody after he reads a poem that makes a woman cry because she realizes the emptiness of her life.

"So, if I use ChatGPT you think less of me?" Yep. Hope this helps.

Nice thing to see on my way home.

Little Paprika is doing so well recovering from her surgeries! She's back to her normal energetic self and her fur is growing back nicely. I've still got a lot of vet bills to pay from this incident, please consider supporting if you can 🙏 www.gofundme.com/f/help-papri...

also: I love dark fiction and dark topics. my fave genre is psychological horror. the harder hitting the social commentary the better. anything that censors perversion also censors what's scary, even if it's SFW. art should be free to explore and challenge. free conversation should not be taboo.

I don't have skin in this game. I draw sex, like, once a year. I REALLY don't like drawing violence. I don't enjoy most porn. I skip any gore. but I will fight for the right for artists to draw whatever erotic or heinous shit they want. I'm an adult capable of looking away and keeping my lane clear.

DON'T LET THEM DIM YOUR SPARKLE✨️✨️ BE LOUD AND PROUD!!!!! HAPPY PRIDE!!!! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🩷

Any time a creative turns to this tech, they are saying "I do not respect the people who do this thing. I do not value their creative contribution to my vision. I think they are so worthless, they can be replaced by the machine that ate their work." It's not surprising this is seen as hostile.

1/3 - Gutierrez got back to us to explain more clearly his involvement with the project, and how he plans to use the tech: "It’s a big experiment for me, and I will be as cautious as possible with AI. Artists driving tech, and not the other way around, is my goal..."

Heads up, California- I'm heading your way in October, returning to Lightbox Expo and presenting my Webcomics 101 panel during the event! Hope to see some of y'all there! #LightboxExpo #LightboxExpo2026 #LBX2026

Now you can keep track of how many billions the AI companies are losing on AI. (Red is spending, green is revenue.) isaiprofitable.com

It’s really frightening.

"this piece of media has gross stuff in it" man damn that sucks, did you talk to your mom about how the parental controls aren't working

Five nights at Freddys guy can continuously donate to republicans, jk Rowling can ruin entire branches of politics with a hatred legal defense fund, but the digital circus and Steven universe creators were queer and made choices fans didn't like and for that they get hate campaigns to ruin them.

there's always a part of me, when someone has to air their onions about whatever trendy thing- stanleys, labubus, whatever is the new hotness- always goes "do you criticize all instances of overconsumption this heavily, or do you just hate when (mostly) women have fun?"

Celebrate the wins. This is a huge one.

Breaking: HHS’s ban on gender-affirming care is struck down. Rarely have I read a ruling this sharply worded. “This case is one of a long list of examples of how a leader’s wanton disregard for the rule of law causes very real harm to very real people.” www.advocate.com/politics/nat...

Something Pragmata really drilled home to me is that we need to really differentiate betweenthe 2 types of AI stories. The first are trying to say something about the realities of genAI as it exists today and impacts people. The second exist in a lineage of sci-fi AI disconnected from reality.

You absolutely SHOULD NOT go around telling people that data centers are full of gold, silver, palladium, copper, and that the data centers are almost entirely unstaffed.

"but HP was important to me during a rough childhood" do you realize how many transgender people that describes, myself included? you truly cannot fathom trans people had the same experience OR WORSE, had that comfort ripped away, and now have to watch cis people cry about it? find another book.

Zoe Tunnell, from Comics!@zoewithasword.bsky.social · 8mo ago

With the HP trailer dropping tomorrow, here's the whole deal: If you watch the show, hell even just the trailer, I will think less of you. I will dislike you. I will think you don't care about trans people. That's it. It's been years. There's no wiggle room. No qualifiers. You care or you don't.

Stop supporting DeviantArt. It was clear years ago once Wix (an Isreali company btw) took over that they don't actually have artists in mind. Let the company go bankrupt

I guess it's time to finally leave #DeviantArt. To make this announcement at the exact time #Sora finally f**king croaks, proving AI-generated video is yet another billionaire tech CEO brain fart just proves DA management's disgusting tone-deafness. And they're using #Grok as one of their models! 😡
