A Little Sip Of Coffee For Scolipede Please? A Little Sip Would Not Hurt Scolipede. Please Put Cup On Snout For A Little Sip For Scolipede Just A Little Taste

Enormous alpha Scolipede in Pokémon za looking down at my player character’s outdoor cafe table in the silent imploring way only very big dogs are able to do, staring down silently, being Very Good about simply not leaning down and grabbing it

AND MY COMPUTER IS DEAD DEAD NOW???

It was doing fine until CSP updated last week, told me it was no longer compatible with my OS, so I updated my computer and now it’s NOT STARTING.

The cat is staring because of how loud my fan is blasting as it struggles to turn on.

the forced self-censorship gibberish we all have to do on social media now is having a devastating effect on the way people communicate with each other. nobody in a healthy society is saying "unalived"

Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

People please please please stop messaging me on Etsy for comms and products I don’t have listed there 😭

Etsy closes the conversation and won’t let me respond if I send a link to my commission page or my website/email address. I have my contact links on my socials/website for a reason.

I said it before I’ll say it again, this isn’t merely a war on adult content (even though if it was that already is more than sufficient for taking action)

No, this is a war on self-employment. Oligarchs want to control all art through AI, and more workers for their lithium mines. Dystopian shit.

Paypal is now playing harder ball on artists, going after anyone even mentioning commissions.

Artists, send invoices. That way, no one has to say what the money is for on Paypal's paper trail.

Customers, SAY NOTHING about commissions. Just say "thanks" on donos.

Everyone: INCREASE THE CALLS.

my less-serious related stance is that if you have the gall to refuse to sell a piece of software AND whine about it being pirated, the thing you're whining about should automatically become public domain. i would call it the Whiny Little Bitch clause and it would change video games forever

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."

There is a particular stabbing pain those of us familiar with the Hollywood blacklist feel about the phrase “prematurely anti-fascist”. Let’s just say this dynamic has been in play for a fucking century.

Adam Serwer @adamserwer.bsky.social · 4d

If you were “prematurely anti fascist” about this you were a hysterical lib, if you were wrong about it you’re a respectable intellectual with lots of billionaire connections bsky.app/profile/gtco...

FLORIDA now requires public schools to share space with charter schools, and “one charter operator intends to occupy space in more than 100 public schools (!)” 🤔

Having worked with animals myself I know the animal keepers likely would keep going without pay 😞

Holly 🍄 @hollarity.bsky.social · 8d

The zoo being closed especially worries me. I hope there is enough back up funding to keep the animals fed and cared for. (Note before the “you like waffles? You must hate pancakes” crowd misinterprets this: I am worried about all of this. I’m just reflecting on the animals needing daily care)

I still care about a lot of people who hate me. Like I know it doesn’t matter, but I still wish you all the best, and hope you find happiness in things you love rather than joy in what you hate.
