If you have a Gmail account, you need to read this. Google's AI now scans your emails and attachments, bank statements, tax files, medical letters, all of it. It turned on by default, and there's a class-action lawsuit over how. Here are 5 moves to shut it off, the switch is hidden in two places:

Mainstream Respectable opinion is that people joking about a bad person's death represents a culture of cruelty, but really it represents a culture of impunity. It's a coping mechanism for watching someone do evil their whole life and never seeing consequences

She has dark red hair and a green light hits part of her face and armour

her eyes are closed, she has nice arm muscles and looks extremely lesbian

With the awful news from the last couple hours, this post from the political optimism subreddit helped to break through a bit of the despair fog. Repubs know this is political suicide, ICE's support is crumbling despite the budget increase, and there's a myriad of ways to fight back. Keep strong.

first spell

one-page comic, black and white and grayscale
panel 1 : close up of a woman's hand, wearing rings, on an old spellbook page
panel 2 : same woman's hands conjuring some black fire
panel 3 (big) : woman sitting on the floor where a pentagram is drawn, with skulls and candles, while a tiny demon with horns seems to jump out of the spellbook right on her legs, visibly very happy
the woman's wearing converse-like shoes, jeans, a tope revealing her shoulders (and a big tatto on the left one), she has a choker necklace and hair loosely tied into a messy bun
text : Look. There's never a perfect time to cast your first spell. Especially as a self-taught witch. Reckless ? Sure. But the truth is... I needed a friend."

Heart of the Forest 🍂 #art #myart #commissions

An illustration of a forest spirit in the middle of a body of water, the forest on fire around it. Deer-like, with leafy entwining antlers, its eyes glow against the black flowing void of its face and tail that trails in the wind, transforming into flame. Smoke billows in front and in the distance, the creature’s reflection a shadowy distortion. Surrounded and engulfed in flames, the forest spirit stands with a silent calm amidst the burning destruction of its home.

Tomorrow, a certain online mega-retailer launches a book sale, just days before Indie Bookstore Day on 4/26. This is no coincidence; Bookstore Day is one of the largest revenue drivers for indies. Indies need our support to thrive & build community spaces for all...mega-retailers do not.

Steve Jackson Games posted this to their blog and the post is getting so many hits their site is effectively crashed but the point is worth repeating

" On April 5th, a 54% tariff goes into effect on a wide range of goods imported from China. For those of us who create boardgames, this is not just a policy change. It's a seismic shift.
At Steve Jackson Games, we are actively assessing what this means for our products, our pricing, and our future plans. We do know that we can't absorb this kind of cost increase without raising prices. We've done our best over the past few years to shield players and retailers from the full brunt of rising freight costs and other increases, but this new tax changes the equation entirely.
Here are the numbers: A product we might have manufactured in China for $3.00 last year could now cost $4.62 before we even ship it across the ocean. Add freight, warehousing, fulfillment, and distribution margins, and that once-$25 game quickly becomes a $40 product. That's not a luxury upcharge; it's survival math.
Some people ask, "Why not manufacture in the U.S.?" I wish we could. But the infrastructure to support full-scale boardgame production – specialty dice making, die-cutting, custom plastic and wood components – doesn't meaningfully exist here yet. I've gotten quotes. I've talked to factories. Even when the willingness is there, the equipment, labor, and timelines simply aren't."

I made this the other night while procrastinating, mainly because I thought all the posts about the blackout were boring. It feels like there is momentum bringing people together!

A poster for the economic blackout on February 28. It is a big red Jack rabbit on an aqua blue back ground. It says economic blackout in hand done black type. There are two black speech bubbles. One says “don’t buy stuff Friday February 28th. The other says we have power. Below it says No Amazon, Walmart, target, gas food, gas. Below that it says OK small business, use cash. Designed by Martha Rich.

With the rapid and exhaustive dismantling of government funding for social goods, the supposedly good billionaires that supposedly exist have more opportunities than ever to step up and demonstrate their value to society.
