OC-tober 15: As A Non-Human

I never owned one of them, but I think I'd resonate with a British Longhair :3

the powers that be want you to know less about your computer. they are taking away your beautiful file pathing, keyboard inputs, considered mouse clicks, and expertise of your OS. everything will soon be done by mumbling into the open air and praying it works correctly. this is a nightmare.

Long story short, an actual Nazi doxxing ring. Enough people reported them that they went away for like 12 hours and then Elon personally brought them back. The site is dead. If you’re still on there, go lock your account right now

A similar thing happened to me about 25 years ago, when I was a preteen. It was a nightmare.

Now, thanks to AI, so many young girls all over the world will have to live that same nightmare.

it's 30 years later and this still happens.

Jenna Ortega revealed in an interview with The New York Times that she quit Twitter after seeing explicit images of herself generated by Al when she was a teenager. She also became inundated with messages from fans that ranged from "disgusting" to "absurd."
"I hate AI," Ortega said. "I mean, here's the thing: AI could be used for incredible things. I think I saw something the other day where they were saying that artificial intelligence was able to detect breast cancer four years before it progressed. That's beautiful. Let's keep it to that. Did I like being 14 and making a Twitter account because I was supposed to and seeing dirty edited content of me as a child? No. It's terrifying. It's corrupt. It's wrong."

Any ICE agents attempting to do so will now be arrested on the spot.

NEW @motherjones.com: Nobody in that GOP group chat praising Hitler or making racist comments was a “kid,” as JD Vance claimed today

I tracked down their ages. (Weirdly, it seems nobody else did.)

Eight of the 11 in the group chat range from 24 to 35. Ages of others are unclear.

But… no “kids”!

No one in the GOP Hitler chat was a "kid"

We checked. Sorry, JD Vance.

As a Californian, I’m at a loss for words w/ how genuinely insane this is.

This seems like the dumbest plan ever to try to reduce turnout for No Kings (won’t work lol).

It’s the kind of thing a dictator pull before their own generals oust him. CA’s not going to rest until he’s removed from power

A gentle reminder: If this goal is not met, we will be homeless.

I am an Indigenous person that's been through utter hell in the last two years. I am disabled and queer. Despite being marginalized, I'm the one having to carry the burden of finances. It has been extremely difficult.

Anything helps.

Happy Indigenous People’s Day, I’m a Borikén Taíno creative who is the only income and trying to keep a roof over mine and my partner’s heads.

The last almost two years have been extremely difficult, and many Indigenous people like me live below the poverty line.

OC-tober 14: Tarot Card

Ooh I love this one, Cadenza is The Fool for many reasons, but I won't say anything just yet ;3

Just know that her and Lucille's lore will be part of a passion project someday :3

#oc_tober2025 #oc_tober #art #bskyart #artsky #OC #originalcharacter

A drawing of Cadenza as The Fool tarot card. Just like the card, she is holding a small bag and a white rose, accompanied by a dog. She stands at the edge of a cliff, with the sun behind her.

If Alice was in an RPG game, she'd probably look like this!

Yes, whacking people with a long stick would be her method of combat :3
