Presenting the first pages of:

Reunea & Leunea

(a Digital Picture Book for Strange People)

Best viewed on your home computer at reunea-leunea.neocities.org

Today is the first of 7 updates throughout the month, pages 1-15.

Reunea & Leunea, a Digital Picture Book for Strange People - Written, Designed, & Illustrated by Zovi McEntee. This is the title page. It depicts the two main characters, Reunea and Leunea, who are styled after 80s/90s postmodern clipart design.

Reunea: "I am Reunea. I am on the left side."
Leunea: "I am Leunea. I am on the right side."

Reunea: "Leunea, my sister, what have you written recently?"
Leunea: "Reunea, my sister, I would ask you the same."

Reunea: "I have written a ghost poem. Would you care to hear it?"
Leunea: "No thank you, Reunea. I am much too busy!"
Reunea: "Too busy? You do nothing at all, Leunea."
Leunea: "I collect digital shadows, Reunea. That is very important."

I will not remain silent on this account either.

Bluesky's moderation team has proven that they cannot be trusted.

Their blatant censorship of trans and black and brown voices has gone far beyond the extent of Bluesky's own TOS. These are targeted attacks.

This means war.

Furthermore,

Whether or not AI was used to determine these decisions is irrelevant.

AI cannot make human decisions.

I don't think motivating people to move to other platforms to avoid the stupid censorship rules is a good solution. Quite the opposite. There is NO SAFE space for artists nowadays, if we don't fight back this will only get worse and worse
