Today is my birthday, and the best gift for me will be a retweet. My name is Vitalii. I am from Ukraine and open for commissions, so if you would like to get #SciFi artwork (spaceships, vehicles, dystopian future), I will gladly do this. You can contact me here or via [email protected]

A few days ago, I stood in the graveyard of an 1100 year old church, getting damper and damper in the drizzling rain.
A woman walked into the graveyard, waved, said hello, and, as we had previously arranged, handed me a paper bag full of human bones.
The life of a churchwarden is a strange one...

I wrote about my experiences being sexually exploited as a child, and what we need to do to make sure AI doesn’t make that a reality for millions of children.

This thread is some of the most exceptional storytelling I've seen in ages?? wow. truly worth your time.
By now, asteroid 2026 Dreadstone has impacted the Indian Ocean, sparking a firestorm not seen on this planet since the K–Pg Extinction Event. Most people just want to be with their families. Here are three ways effective business leaders can leverage targeted KPIs to turn tragedy 😔 into triumph 💪

yeah, it's peaking again after building for months and I want to address a specific thread that's popped up in a few of these pre-attacks.
"They only set it in the far future so they could get away with not worrying about canon." - said in an aggressive context like "How dare they! Those cheaters!"

I'm pissed that Starfleet Academy has clearly been targeted by anti-woke grifters in the same way Star Wars: The Acolyte. They're clearly laying the groundwork to go after it because it's a show in a Boomer scifi franchise with a diverse cast, not aimed at an older white male audience.

So as someone who's a professional creator, and has always been a creator of art in many mediums ...
I've encountered a lot of people in life
A LOT OF PEOPLE
who want to do art, who think they have good ideas for art, but don't want to do the work

If a machine can fart out a 400-page novel based on any stray shower thought, why would even the “author” want to read it?
But they don’t get it. Or maybe they do but are in deep denial

I have so little time for personal art nowadays that it has become precious to me. This year of 2025 I made these two that I adore - Time's End and Sea of Giants, both for a personal project :)

The correlation between companies named after the Tolkien legendarium and their CEO/Founder being a chittering skinwalker fingering his own taint at the idea of draining the planet of all its resources and then fucking off to a sealed dome in New Zealand while everyone else suffers is extremely high

20.000 Bewohner:innen wünschen sich mehr Möglichkeiten zum Einkaufen. Warum sind etliche Erdgeschoßlokale dennoch nicht vermietet?

"Someone goes back in the source history and compiles the original game as it shipped - nope, that original version is also broken. How can this possibly be? At this point people are freaking out - this isn't a normal bug - it appears to have traveled backwards in time and infected the original!"
