Gentle reminder that should a general strike happen, it’s crucial to plan and establish robust networks of community care.

There will be people, especially within the disability community, who can’t participate.

Who have needs that must be met.

Let’s make sure we figure out how to include them!

Chicago Mayor Issues Defiant Call For A General Strike

It was an audacious proposal, given that the U.S. has never held a true, nationwide general strike.

I am fundraising for an anonymous friend, who is a trans sex worker and POC. They are at risk of losing custody of their children. Please, please donate. This is a situation that is painful and scary beyond description.

PLEASE SHARE GRAPHICS WIDELY

URGENT NEED! HELP KEEP FAMILY TOGETHER, DONATE NOW!

We are raising funds for a pillar of our community: a trans sex worker of color who is at risk of losing custody of their children. While their lawyers are confident they can win this discriminatory case, funds are needed by February 2026. We believe they should no longer have to face this on their own, which is why we are asking for your support.

Goal: $50,000

We are raising funds for a beloved community member; a trans sex worker of color who is at risk of losing custody of their children. For their safety and privacy they must remain anonymous, but this is a pillar of our community, loved and verified by those of us running this fundraiser.

Our friend is facing a trial in February regarding the custody of their young children. The case against them is based on the fact that their primary form of income is sex work. Notably, the judge of the initial custody arrangement ruled that their job was not reason enough to restrict their parenting time years ago. Because of this precedent, their lawyer feels very confident they will win their upcoming case.

To defend their rights to parent their own children, our friend needs to raise $75,000 by February 2026. This staggering amount of money is required by the court to cover the costs associated with a two day trial (lawyers fees, expert witnesses, the court reporter, depositions, creation of trial binders, the list goes on). If they cannot secure these funds by the February deadline, they will be forced to settle, resulting in severely reduced interaction with their children. We obviously do not want this to happen.

Our friend has provided for themself and their children for years, fighting their custody battle in private while continuing to be an incredible parent, friend, and educator. They can no longer face this by themselves, which is why we are asking for your support.

In our current political climate, we know that our friend's situation is especially precarious. This is a crucial moment to show solidarity with a community member who needs it more than ever.

Drawing of a chibi dark fairy Mothman. He looks like a mix of owl and moth, with the owl being mostly in the face. The wings are inspired by moth wings. He is dark purple, black, and grey with big red eyes and big black eyelashes. His wings have many glowing red eyes. The background is a deep, starry night sky with an eclipsing moon.

Iiiiiiiiii completely forgot to post these when it was actually summer oops! Chibi drawings of Tdi'or inspired by summer festival vibes! I made these into stickers for the upcoming shop drop, and am planning on making stickers too!

#elfenjoyers #ocart #cleric #celestial #nonbinaryoc #dndoc #fantasy

Chibi drawing of my moon elf cleric, Tdi'or, with mid-length bright blue hair. They are wearing robes which are a light lavender blue, essentially a nude color for them, with a purple fabric sash belt and gold accessories. One of their eyes is blue with gold flecks. The other is a swirling mist of blue, silver, purple, and grey with a white pupil. They are sitting on a gold crescent moon while holding a moon and star lantern. There are dark blue clouds with glowing blue stars. The background is a night sky with a dark purple to medium blue-purple gradient, and blue and gold stars. The drawing has a fantasy celestial summer festival vibe.

Tdi'or enjoyers rejoice!! I have listened to your requests for more Tdi'or merch and I agree. I reworked the bg on chibis I already had to make a double sided tarot style keychain, coming soon! Which of my other OCs do you want tarot keychains for?
#ocart #elfenjoyers #dndoc #bskyartists #fantasy

Chibi drawing of my blue elf priest Dior in casual blue, purple, and grey robes, holding tarot cards. They are facing the opposite way as the previous image. The tarot card style background is the same. The image has a watermark of my signature.

Chibi drawing of my moon elf cleric Dior wearing white dragon scalemail armor. They are holding a staff reminiscent of a dragon claw at the end, and have a shield with moon phases on it. One of their eyes is bright blue with gold flecks. The other eye is a swirling mist of blue, purple, and silver with a white pupil. The image is drawn in a rounded rectangle, like a tarot card. It has a border with moon phase designs in each corner, and a starry background with a crescent moon and glowing clouds. The image has a watermark of my signature.

✶ HOT GOTH SUMMER ✶
Campaign's over, time to draw Essanì in a sexy swimsuit. They got the final blow on the lich, kept an enemy trapped the entire combat, went unconscious twice, & held the corpse of their boyfriend before he was resurrected. I think they deserve a summer vacation. #ocart #dndoc

Drawing of my gothic drow-dhampir OC Essani. They have lavender-grey skin and bright red eyes. They are holding a black sun umbrella with a spiderweb pattern, dangling moons and star charms, and a raven skull at the end of the handle. They are wearing round sunglasses with red lenses and black frames, with stars connected the lenses to the arms of the sunglasses. They are pulling the sunglasses off their face, and their hands have very long nails in a gradient from red to black, with the black spreading down their fingers. They have black and white pinstriped hair in cat-ear style buns. They are wearing a tight, black, one-piece swimsuit with a high night, and a cutout that stars at the collarbone and extends past their belly button. There are also hip cutouts. All the cutouts have white lacing. Their chest is flat. Tattoos of a red moon, wolf maw, and smoke with lots of eyes can be seen. There is a background gradient of hot reddish-pink, to a deep purple that is almost black. Essani is androgynous with a flat chest. The swimsuit has an almost latex-like rendering. Their tattoos feature red eyes on the back of each hand. They are thin with a v-shaped torso, but shapely hips. They stand in an exaggerated, contrapasto pose. They are sticking their tongue out. Their expression looks mischievous, flirty, sexy, and a little snarky.

@ everyone who has been asking for Tdi'or merch...your time is coming!! 2 new stickers + an acrylic and epoxy keychain with a specialty clasp. Some of my fave merch I've made befitting our beloved cleric 💖 #elfenjoyers #ocart #moonelf #cleric #lunarliocs #elves #celestial #enbyoc #fantasy #ocmerch

Sticker of my moon elf OC Dior in a chibi style The have shoulder length bright blue hair. One eye is blue with gold flecks and the other is like a swirling silver mist inside rather than a normal eye. There are sitting on a gold moon amongst clouds while holding a moon and star themed festival lantern. They are wearing pale blue-purple robes that are almost a nude color for them against their pale blue skin. The sticker has a star patterned holographic sparkle finish.

This is a matching sticker to the previous one, with some different color details. The moon here is silver instead of gold, and the robes are peach instead of pale blue. Also, Dior's hair is long instead of shoulder length, indicating a different timeline perhaps. The sticker still has a star patterned holographic sparkle finish. The stickers have summer festival vibes.

An acrylic keychain with a glitter epoxy finish of Dior wearing white dragon scale mail armor. They are holding a staff reminiscent of a dragon claw at the end, and have a shield with moon phases on it. The keychain is overall rectangular with rounded corners like a tarot card. It has a border with moon phase designs in each corner, and a starry background with a crescent moon and glowing clouds. The clasp on this keychain is silver and shaped like a crescent moon.

Back of the keychain. The back art features Dior in casual blue, purple, and grey robes, holding tarot cards. This side of the keychain has a star patterned holographic finish instead of glitter epoxy.

It's weird for Aaron to say this... when HIVE literally provides moderation tools for tweaking shit.

All HIVE provides is metedata and it's up to moderation to define the fucking rules if prosthetics are being mislabeled... either Bsky is doing it wrong or Hive doesn't have metadata for that

Q: Does Hive remove content or ban users from our platform?

A: No. The Hive API simply returns classification metadata based on our model outputs. Our results tell customers whether material across various classes (e.g., sexuality, violence, hate) is present in user-generated content based on a confidence score (for visual models) or a severity level (for text models). Our customers then use those results to inform appropriate enforcement actions - such as automatically tagging or removing NSFW content - based on their own policies and practices.
