Malachite and Astarion gently touching their foreheads together and holding hands. Ames' vtuber is blushing in the corner and being pervy, naturally.

Looks like the Ko-fi links in your older posts (or if people have it in their browser history) just lead to the Ko-fi homepage now because your page name has changed. It's a pity that Ko-fi can't redirect from the old name to the new name but as long as people use the new link, things will be fine

I’m a dual national. I’m not planing on committing any crimes anytime soon, let alone ones with a sentence of 5+ years, but if I ever did I’m not sure why my second passport should disqualify me from facing the same British justice system as everyone else and instead strip me of my citizenship

The RNLI is the closest you will ever get to actual Batman. When rescue is visibly, viscerally, obviously impossible; when the water is a smothering, thundering black wall and the wind is screaming straight from Hell; when you are absolutely going to die: someone’s hand pulls you out and you don’t.

The US Web Design System is load-bearing infrastructure for thousands of government websites. It makes it easy for small teams with no resources (i.e. most .gov teams) to make usable, accessible websites that work for everyone. Today, it's as close as it's ever been to being replaced with AI slop.

There is little more frustrating to me as a partially hearing person than subtitles that do not match, when someone has basically paraphrased what is being said. Just as correct subtitles help me form a good picture of what’s said, wrong ones pull me right out.

You can’t have it both ways. You can’t be “It’s simple math, vote blue no matter who, grow up” and ALSO believe you are fighting fascism by making calculations as to who’s expendable. The world we’re in now demands more from us. More from everyone.

AI boosters want the argument about whether or not AI is thinking like a person to be treated as a question about the sophistication of the robot when actually what’s happening is they’re completely devaluing and dismissing as meaningless the reality of what human thought and consciousness is

It’s clear that a number of governments are going to try to force through laws that hand creatives’ work to AI companies, on the grounds of ‘national security’. But this is an abysmally weak justification for stripping away creatives’ rights. Two core reasons why: 🧵 1/5

I don't forget that anti-vaxxers are also folks who think their kids being Autistic would be worse than their kids being dead. And I don't forget they didn't arrive at that viewpoint independently. They were helped to get there by folks who have pushed the idea of Autisticness as crisis.

Some are suggesting you deliberately write inaccurate or confusing alt text, because they say this confuses AI scrapers that are analyzing images. The purpose of alt text is to help people who cannot see the image. Deliberately misrepresenting the image is a gross misuse of alt text. Don't do it.

Your bad art is better than AI slop.

four frame comic. first frame shows a typical AI poster that says : All chatgpt flyers look the same, especially with this font! the text above it reads : I won't go to your event if the poster was made by AI. second frame shows a still frame from a Hank Green youtube video. text above reads : I won't read your post or email and I won't watch your video if they were made with AI. third frame shows an AI restaurant poster of burgers and chicken in a window. text reads : I won't patronize your shop or restaurant if it is advertised with AI. last frame shows an MS paint window with badly written : Your bad art is better than AI slop. text reads : if you can't take the time or make the effort to interact with me yourself, then why should I do it?

A square infographic. The background is medium gray with wavy stripes in the same colors as the disability pride flag. In the center is a light gray frame with a black outline and rounded corners. At the top of the frame is bold bubbly text in alternating disability pride flag colors that reads "Disability Pride", and below this to the left is bold white text in all caps which reads "Raid Train". To the right of this is smaller bubbly white text that reads "Hosted By Buzbee". In the center of the frame are two smaller rectangular frames. The left one is slightly taller and features text details about the streamer and their slot. The right one features a picture of the featured streamer. Below both boxes is bold text that details the streamer's channel link."
