A digitally colored limited color illustration of a cute green snake sitting in a ceramic bowl of noodles while slurping up some. She's holding a pair of chopsticks with her tail, and there are marbled egg halves, green spring onion rings and seasoning as decorations, all againts a white background.

A traditional mixed media illustration of a young athletic East-Asian woman with a long black ponytail. She's floating against a stylized painted space backdrop with a few planets, and she's wearing an oversized jacket and oversized boots inspired by astronaut costumes. She's also wearing a backpack and holding a sub sandwich.

A large colored pencil illustration of a female yellow waterlily fairy and a male common hawker fairy dancing over a pond of water. There are yellow waterlilies and hanging fluttering willow leaves around them.

“To hope is like the rain that comes at night, the shadow that envelopes the world and comforts the tired. Where the moon’s glow reflects our promises and shows us the way. Dreams and connections to the past and future, held close to our hearts.”

It's amazing. Dude basically teaches you how to make Legend of Zelda: LTTP.

between this and the ICE ads on Spotify, YouTube randomly doing AI edits of creator's videos without their consent, and the U.S. government taking over TikTok, I think I'll just get really into collecting music on CDs and start bringing books with me everywhere again.

When we write or draw porn or erotica, we get banned from having a bank account and our livelihoods get seized even if we give it away for free.

When billionaires steal what we've written or drawn to churn out a slop-approximate of porn, they're allowed to charge for it.

Matt Burgess (WIRED) @mattburgess1.bsky.social · 22h

Oh good, ChatGPT is getting "erotica for verified adults" later this year

We made ChatGPT pretty restrictive to make sure we were being careful with mental health issues. We realize this made it less useful/enjoyable to many users who had no mental health problems, but given the seriousness of the issue we wanted to get this right.

Now that we have been able to mitigate the serious mental health issues and have new tools, we are going to be able to safely relax the restrictions in most cases.

In a few weeks, we plan to put out a new version of ChatGPT that allows people to have a personality that behaves more like what people liked about 4o (we hope it will be better!). If you want your ChatGPT to respond in a very human-like way, or use a ton of emoji, or act like a friend, ChatGPT should do it (but only if you want it, not because we are usage-maxxing).

In December, as we roll out age-gating more fully and as part of our “treat adult users like adults” principle, we will allow even more, like erotica for verified adults.

Jacques Must Really Like Dir En Grey (純粋; derogatory) @mllejacquesnoel.bsky.social · 1d

And again, there is nothing wrong with liking shoujo manga as fashion inspo. That relationship 100% exists.

There is something a little funny about a lack of curiosity and using another country’s cartoon girls as an aesthetic, divorced from the real life women who made these things.

This is such an interesting thread! I'm old, but in the past couple of years I've gotten into fashion illustration a litttle thanks to manga like Dragon Ball and Sailor Moon. Just the few brands and artist names and fashion culture names you listed here should help me learn more, so thank you!

Hi hi #PortfolioDay! 🎨✨

I'm Requinoesis, someone who loves the ocean! I'm dedicated to creating a new insight into the imagery of sharks under pastel colors! 🌊🦈✨

You can see more of my art stuff here, if you want: linktr.ee/requinoesis

Roberto, the great hammerhead shark, explores the ruins of an ancient museum destroyed by Typhon's storm. He holds a flashlight and carries a mysterious human spirit in his backpack, who accompanies him in silence.

The place, shrouded by the phenomenon called “cursed salt mist”, is covered in a permanent fog. Salt crystals sprout everywhere and a supernatural presence seem to lurk among the rubble.

The spirit that accompanies Roberto is liquid and translucent. Sometimes little tropical fish of extinct species float around him, as if attracted by his presence.

The museum's architecture is full of organic curves and ornate tiles. Decorated columns show a crab with a human face holding the moon between its pincers, an ancient symbol of a historical figure revered by the sharkfolk.

A cozy little shark bistro nestled among lots of plants.

A little harbor village of Gourdlets among a cozy grove of trees, carrying out various cooperative activities related to fishing and recreation, there are little colorful fish and a shark swimming peacefully in the sea.

An allegory of the "Jaws" movie poster that caused damage and negative stereotypes to the image of sharks that persist to this day (I'm glad it's slowly changing, but it's still too slow to be considered forgivable). Now with a reversal of roles, with the human victim replaced by a simple wild shark and the terrible stereotyped shark replaced by a monstrous human skull seeming to want to devour the shark (this is the reality, we kill thousands of sharks every year, many of them killed for irrational reasons, who is the real cruel killer?)
