NEW VID on Patreon - "Progressive Men's 'Obsessive' Sex Doll Savior Complex'; a look at the history of sex/wish-fulfillment women in fiction and how these stories are a Rorschach test for the misogyny we are often better at naming in others than recognizing in ourselves. www.patreon.com/jessiegender

Thumbnail feature; a statue of Galetea from the Pygmalion myth, an image of a "sexy" AI chatbot girl, a sex doll, Ava from the movie Ex Machina, and Nikki from the movie Obsession; next to an image of progressive video essayist YouTuber Pop Culture Detective with the text "IS SHE REAL YET?"

Dunno if they’ll see this, but I saw and appreciated you, artist sitting next to me on my flight to Seattle on Sunday. We wordlessly drew together in comfort while masked, it was very nice to sit quietly and understand how not to talk but be present with another similar person.

I'm honestly watching YouTube art videos on repeat while I work in my sketchbook lately. I can't doomscroll, I need art

Fix your hearts or die. You know how many of us joke that Pride month should be followed by Wrath? This year I feel a deep, burning fury towards all who use transgender lives as political propaganda. We are human beings. You cannot erase us. Happy Pride. Trans liberation at any cost. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

A digital illustration showing a knight in full armour. They are riding on a black steed which is mostly out of frame. The frame in question is green and shows a chain going around as a decorative element. That chain is broken by the knight's raised sword. From the knight's chest bursts a roaring flame in the colours of the trans pride flag.

-May the Moon guide you through the treacherous dark of night, and lead you into the gentler dawn of tomorrow- A little gift draw of Meztli and her alebrije, from the comic Tyree, made by my lovely friend @portaltohades.bsky.social who is going through... so much torment right now. #art #comics

A digital drawing done with a marker and pencil style. An alebrije spirit based on a rabbit + gator+bird of paradise arches to the left upon a black void of space and stars. Its feathered tail fans out below, and within the space is the portrait of Meztli herself, smiling faintly. She is wearing traditional jewelry with moon motifs, and has pale vitiligo on darker toned skin, reflecting the phase of a crescent moon.

Star Trek figured this out thirty years ago. It's not hard. Even an old, drunk Klingon got it.

A set of screenshots from DEEP SPACE NINE. An old Klingon throws his arms around Dax and shouts "Curzon, my beloved old friend!"

Dax returns the hug and says "I'm Jadzia now."

The Klingon grabs her shoulders, smiles, and says "Jadzia, my beloved old friend!"

my hottest take is that we need to stop enabling chronic self deprecation outside of a joking context. responding to “my art sucks” with “no ur arts great“ does nothing but normalize bad coping mechanisms. we should be praising self confidence and emotional maturity instead

I don’t think we talk enough about how the foundational, most aspirational premise of the AI industry is “what if there was a human-level intelligence that didn’t have human rights.” Like. Exploitation is literally the whole point! Of COURSE they hold human life, intelligence and labour in contempt!

Okay so here is an abridged version of my story with HW. We (me and @moonsheen.bsky.social) never submitted to Hiveworks. We were wined and dined and talked into it. I agreed mostly because neither me nor Alex had it in us to run our own shop and that was the only thing I allowed HW to do.

I am a dumbass and so are my characters (sometimes) shadowDzan belongs to @ashworks.bsky.social (alt text for more)

Sketch of an AU version of Tiberius unironically wearing a horny memeshirt with two arrows pointing to the shoulders, and the words "FOOT RESTS" below it. He is booping his phone and does not yet realize that Dzan is behind him and is about to rip that shirt entirely off his body and burn it.

There is a note that says "He is not allowed to leave the castle wearing this." Because he's not. He's not even allowed to wear it IN the castle but he is an alien who doesn't understand human bullshit and thinks his new shirt is both funny and true.
