Looking at how many arts and fics predicted this scene :)

As a heads up, anyone looking forward to new tv these days needs to prepare themselves for an upcoming tv and probably film drought.

the writers and actors strike fucked a lot of shit up and the producers and studios didn't want to do anything to prep new productions during that time so very, very, very little is being made right now on top of some shows getting canceled.

There's going to be a bit of a drought probably over the next two years.

yes two years.

if I had to make an educated guess.

So my advice....my advice is to get comfortable with your tried and true faves, and then if you want to help, try to watch and engage with ORIGINAL series and movies- not just franchise rehashes or remakes (honestly fuck star wars and fuck marvel and fuck anyone incapable of writing an original script).

Since there's such a large open gap of empty airtime starting, this could be an excellent opportunity to use your clicks to say what you actually want to watch.

Hang in there guys. I know the timing is terrible, in an era where we kind of need the escape more than ever, but this is what happens when rich people get comfortable- everybody down the line, especially union workers, gets fucked.

Had a glass of wine and drew this :$

please let yourself be heard

I know it’s like throwing pebbles in the sea, but we have to scream a little.

for what it’s worth, this is what I said:

These major companies with so much money are demanding the government of all things step in and make it legal to steal our, artists of all shapes and sizes, work because of what…a hypothetical foreign threat? Our work is so lacking of worth but is worth having a governmental body force it to be given away? This isn’t some great voluntary action for the betterment of mankind garbage. This is theft for their profit off our hard work without so much as a please or a thank you. We don’t make content for free use. If we WANTED to do that we would do that. There would be dialogue. There is none. This is just forcibly ripping our own material from our human bodies and giving it to a giant corporation to make garbage with and being told that we just feel too much. Honestly I’m getting beyond tired and maybe just a touch angry at all of this AI garbage. Do better.

We have 30 days until the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) laws are rescinded. This is the 50-year bedrock of American conservation. Normally, these actions take years but the administration has provided 30 days for public comment gutting clean water and clean air. Drop what you’re doing, before you make any more calls or read any more social media posts, please populate the Federal Register with dissent.

B. Click on the green rectangle in the upper right corner ("SUBMIT A PUBLIC COMMENT") .

If hearing Trump say that Ukraine started the war with Russia infuriates you – donate to help Ukraine persevere. If you're a USA citizen and you're upset and ashamed of your current government – take part in protests, educate those around you when you can, and donate to help Ukraine persevere. If you know at least a little about history, and you see that the current processes in the world lead to WW3 – donate to help Ukraine persevere, save democracy, and show dictators around the world that they can't take everything they want by power.

Write to your representatives, engage in protests, share whatever you can, or encourage others to do so. This war is so much more than you can imagine. It's the start of something that has the potential to affect everyone, no matter where you are or what you believe in. The world is a dangerous place, and it needs every one of us to do what we can to make it safer. Don't just think good - do good, in whichever small way you can.

You guys are all using Firefox as your default browser, right?

This is making the rounds on BlueSky, but I haven't seen it here yet.

Twitter is rolling out a "Recreate this with Grok" button directly on images now when you open them. Also, some people have experienced their artwork getting labeled as 'made with Grok'

I understand why some people have tried to stay but, please at the very least start transitioning your work to other places so at the very least you have a exit without hurting your finances too much.

Twitter is only going to become more hostile towards artists. It's full of poison and it's only a matter of time before it fully erodes.

A little bit sexier than usual.

Hi everyone! I'm dealing with a serious stomach issue and need help raising funds to move closer to family and access medical care. I'm offering $20 art commissions to reach my goal of $400. Any support, whether through purchases or sharing, would be greatly appreciated.

His crazy ass was so pretty

Oklahoma is attempting to pass a bill that would ban explicit romance novels. Authors, narrators, and sellers could all face fines of up to $100,000 and up to 10 years in jail for each instance.

If you live in OK, call your representative and tell them this bill should not be allowed to pass.

This is likely a test case. Republicans will try to pass it in OK and if it passes other states will likely try to pass similar laws.

In the meantime, get physical copies of books you like. Download those pdfs. Archive your AO3 stories and keep them on a physical hard drive. (Storing those files in the cloud could be problematic in the future as the company managing the cloud service can see what your files are)
