late night thoughts; do you ever just want an artist rebranding, but have no ideas for a better username/artist name?

#SaveSpeech

If you're like me and you are struggling to contact your senators re: KOSA via their phone lines this week, I recommend attempting to send physical letters or emails in the meantime.

Here is a script you can use to contact your reps!

www.commoncause.org/find-your-re...

Hi, my name is [NAME] and I’m a constituent from [LOCATION]
I'm messaging to demand [SENATOR] oppose S. 1748, the Kids Online Safety Act, also known as KOSA. This broad legislation does not protect anyone and instead will be used to block any speech that the Trump administration’s partisan FTC disagrees with. It pushes the “duty of care” onto websites and social media platforms to remove content that is “harmful to children”. It would lead to overcompliance, mass censorship, and remove access to crucial information re: everything from mental health, LGBT topics, substance abuse, eating disorders and more.
Additionally, while large, corporate platforms like X can shoulder the weight of “duty of care”, smaller websites cannot, leading to greater and greater concentrations of power online into giant corporate platforms rather than small and medium sized businesses.
KOSA will not make kids safer. It will make the internet more dangerous for anyone who relies on it to learn, connect, or speak freely. Lawmakers should reject it, and fast.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
IF SENATOR COSPONSORED KOSA: Additionally, I want to remark on [SENATOR]’s cosponsorship of this bill. I think it is shameful that [SENATOR] has backed a bill as transparently bad as KOSA. This will not keep kids safe, it is an excuse to censor the free and open internet. I will not be voting for nor donating to [SENATOR] in any future campaigns if they do not drop their co-sponsorship of this bill, and I will encourage everyone in my life to do the same.
Do the right thing.

Oooh, okay. Here goes. My first #Portfolioday 🐌

I'm Merlin, I got a fancy pants piece of paper that said I'm pretty good at games art and design (It had a bee on it!) and I use everything I learned to instead draw cute monster men and occasionally comics.

How dare you suggest they work on themselves to better themselves rather than influence and encourage their excuses and hate! /S

Still open for commissions! I have lowered my prices as well by a bit. Currently this is my only source of income so even just sharing would be a huge help to me!

Last time I was there yes, it would take hours on the first installation

Definitely be careful on there; from what I have heard it has not improved since last I was there and is very much like Twitterroth was!

Newgrounds has a very helpful guide for detecting AI audio over at www.newgrounds.com/wiki/help-in... for anyone interested in catching AI-generated music. Don't rely on any service that uses AI for detection, that's just using slop to find slop and you'll get false positives/missed catches.

1. As some Democrats have run from transgender rights, Zohran Mamdani is showing what so many others have lacked: courage to lead with his values over pandering to focus groups.

The ad is one of the best things I've seen from a politician on transgender people.

🎉3K🎉Thanks, everyone!

I wish I were in a better mood for this celebration and with energy to do a giveaway or something, but I'm dealing with burnout while still having a lot of work to do.
Has been really rough...

But I appreciate it wholeheartedly for all the support.
It means the world to me!💜

A red, horned imp steps through a green-glowing portal. He is in thought while fiddling around in the vortex behind him.
