I'm having OC brainrot due to having started RPing again!

I illustrated a little scene from the rp, where Roi is about to lose control (and himself in the process), but thankfully Gouvert was there to stop it from happening.

It's been exactly two years since your star went out.

I miss your loud meows. I miss hearing you snore. I miss all your constant shenanigans. I miss you sleeping on my desk. I miss the feeling of your soft fur.

I love you Zeni.
You were both the best and the worst cat I ever had. 💜

Haha anyway I got to the electrode trial thing last night. Maybe I’ll clean these up, maybe I won’t. Who’s to say. #セキツバ #adamantorbshipping

Melli clinging to Adaman while Adaman holds him up, looking exasperated.

Basically same as previous but in chibi. Adaman holds Melli in a bridal carry looking unimpressed.

Hey this is really fucking dire! Keep calling Stripe. This aligns with nothing they've previously told us

Fuck censorship. They're coming after you next, whether you make porn or not. I have never sold NSFW services or artwork, yet here's my termination from Stripe! Fully SFW, innocent headshots of furries = adult content. This is what we've been trying to fucking tell y'all this whole month!

Create NSFW art

Porn is not evil, sex is not abhorrent, pleasure is not a crime

Even if you don't agree with all kinks doesn't mean they should be allowed to censor art

This is why we have tags and the blick button, not megacorps deciding what we can and cannot like

Always resist oppression

Refsheet.net is shutting down due to the UK & EU 18+ content law changes.

This site doesn't charge any one for access, and hasn't since its conception in 2016.

What's next? Will archive of our own get shut down?

Damn you mean itch didn’t actually just abandon these creators but has been working hard with its limited resources to figure out how to continue supporting them? How surprising

Itch.io are seeking out new payment processors who are more comfortable with adult material

After delisting thousands of games with adult or NSFW sexual material, indie store Itch are looking to move away from Paypal and Stripe.

re: generative AI

I have finally fully and accurately explained my problem with how it’s marketed and used.

And now, you can use it, too.

Generative Al is being marketed as a tool designed to reduce or eliminate the need for developed, cognitive skillsets. It uses the work of others to simulate human output, except that it lacks grasp of nuance, contains grievous errors, and ultimately serves the goal of human beings being neurologically weaker due to the promise of the machine being better equipped than the humans using it would ever exert the effort to be.

The people that use generative Al for art have no interest in being an artist; they simply want product to consume and forget about when the next piece of product goes by their eyes. The people that use generative Al to make music have no interest in being a musician; they simply want a machine to make them something to listen to until they get bored and want the machine to make some other disposable slop for them to pass the time with.

The people that use generative Al to write things for them have no interest in writing. The people that use generative Al to find factoids have no interest in actual facts. The people that use generative Al to socialize have no interest in actual socialization.

In every case, they've handed over the cognitive load of developing a necessary, creative human skillset to a machine that promises to ease the sweat equity cost of struggle. Using generative Al is like asking a machine to lift weights on your behalf and then calling yourself a bodybuilder when it's done with the reps. You build nothing in terms of muscle, you are not stronger, you are not faster, you are not in better shape.

You're just deluding yourself while experiencing a slow decline due to self-inflicted atrophy.
