guess who drew a story about hemorrhoids and got it officially published? 😎👌 DeadAss is free to read on Viz Manga: buff.ly/3EH8j0C (US, UK, Canada, Australia, NZ, and Ireland can access the app/page without any issues. Other countries will need a VPN due to region-locking :'))

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

Just saw this in a chat. And I think I'm gonna wear way more 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ items again. Don't let them make you afraid. Show them we still stand together. Against them.

Can't believe the amount of heat we used to get for downloading an mp3 when every tech company is downloading the sum total of human expression to sell a scromited version back to us

HUNGER'S BITE, my debut GN, will be out 2/25/25! Something otherworldly is aboard the SS Lark, something horribly hungry. But it’s not Wick Farley: vampire, secret agent, and paranormal investigator. Read more and pre-order it here! www.unionsquareandco.com/978145495025...

Fun fact! If you swear in your search the AI summary at the top of the Google page doesn't appear! The robots fear cuss words!

FYI google have now stopped "-ai" working at the end of your search string. So put this at the end (after a space) instead: &udm=14 Fuck you #google. #AI

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references. Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.

Stop Forcing A.I. into Fucking EVERYTHING!

“Is it okay for a social media platform to be an echo chamber” back in the day we had websites and websites were generally focused on a single topic and if you were into that topic you would visit that website and if you weren’t into that topic you just didn’t go on that website and it was fine

A thread of useful mods, moderated lists etc. that you can use across Bluesky to protect your space here from 🅰️ℹ️ stuff. I'll be updating this as I find more, so if you know of any that I haven't included, please let me know! Reposts are very welcome so more people know! [ #helpfulbskypost ]
