Recently bought Season 25 of Doctor Who the Collection. God, I love these boxsets. #DoctorWho

Enjoy the weekend! ❤️🎶

If you’re a Visa cardholder you can let them know you won’t be any longer if they do business with fElon. I called and they said they’re taking comments at [email protected]. Maybe if enough of us complain they’ll pull the deal.

You know, one annoying thing after you search for someone to block them on here, is that they still come up on your search history even when blocked.

GET FUCKING SIGNING PALS

Imagine saying with your whole chest the art you make “isn’t political.” How cowardly. My art is political AF. Challenge those who create Climate Change. Human rights and animal rights you clowns. This is why I have such BDE

Islam is not exempt, and neither is any other religion.

Character *is* choice. Backstory and quirks are only window dressing if they don't inform the choices the characters make that propel the story. The more interesting the choices, the more interesting the character. And often times, audiences want characters making different choices than they would.

I was just watching the movie, Glass Online last night, and it struck me that the character of Andi had been normalising what Miles had been so saying so often that the Disruptors just started doing it to themselves.

AI Art contrary to the name is Art without Intelligence.

Now that people are joining bluesky in large numbers I'll share this old comic of mine. I made it for Twitter, but as you can see, people over there never listened. Maybe this time... So just block, don't dunk on bigots!

Popped up on the old FB. 15 years old? FFFFFFFFFFFFFFuck. #DoctorWho

So, not my first post on Bluesky, I've done some reposts, one or two shares. And done more than my fair share of Doomscrolling. Still don't know how to gain many followers though.

If you can’t afford stock, or don’t want to try to ascertain which images are AI and which are not, look for Public Domain Art. Here’s a few links to get you started: www.nga.gov/open-access-... www.metmuseum.org/about-the-me... www.artic.edu/open-access/...

It actually is very important that you do things that you take pleasure in, regularly. That is part of how you survive the things that feel like they are going to destroy you.

For folks that are new to this place, a really kind thing you can do is to put alt text on any images you post. It was part of the community when I joined, and it is great for folks using readers. Also, the auto text that comes with the gifs is pretty weak. Take a quick sec to update it.

This goes so fucking hard dude

PSA: The Sonic Jam Legacy Skin for #SonicXShadowGenerations, that was previously only available via email newsletter subscription, is now free to download on all major platform storefronts! #SonicNews www.sonicstadium.org/news/games/p...

Trans Rights are Human Rights, pass it on.

A reminder as Musk-bots, Trump-bots, and other bots start hitting Bluesky: blocking users removes their replies from your posts entirely. The correct way of handlin antagonizing parties is to block. Not reply. Not dunk. Not mute. Block. It stops their reach and effectiveness right there.

The present day philosophy regarding Bluesky and those attempting to harass or argue in bad faith is to block them. I've also seen a few articles try to claim that such a thing will just leave us in a social bubble. This video explains why this method has merit. youtu.be/BFSe5-i1LoU?...

Friends, a petition I've created to go to Parliament for the protection of Trans Healthcare in the UK has just gone live. If you are in the United Kingdom, please sign and share this. If you are not in the United Kingdom, please share it. #Trans #LGBTQ #UK petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

oh boy! Labour publishing this kind of horrid AI art while their consultation on generative AI is going on - that really inspires confidence that they'll listen to dissenting voices in the creative industry, doesn't it!

@linkara.bsky.social I don't know if you'll see this, but a trans youtuber named MistressDove recently got her channel terminated under falls claims of scam and fraud. I've been spreading the word to get her channel back. Feel free to repost her post if you can bsky.app/profile/them...

Maus author Art Spiegelman’s next comic will be about Gaza, in collaboration with Joe Sacco. He thinks he will struggle to find a publisher in the United States. “I’ll finish this thing or die trying.”

This could destroy the livelihoods of many indie comics creators by jacking up the costs of everything - think of crowdfunding shipping alone. Please tell your US reps and senators to do all they can to fight the privatization of the USPS. Find your reps here: www.congress.gov/members/find...
