#topsurgery I think it's also because my nerves are doing handshakes but I'm actually hitting a pain level where it doesn't suck but it's annoyingly persistent, might have to take tylenol actually

#topsurgery damn they weren't kidding about how getting the drains pulled out feels WEIRD. Like yeah I had a bit more stinging on my left side (that side was more sensitive from the get-go) but overall it was less pain and more like EUGH IT'S SPOOLED IN THERE THAT'S UNCOMFORTABLE

You know, I'm seeing a lot of blame?? placed on webcomic creators for using Tapas instead of their own hosting site, and I'm just saying like...can we not? Small artist v corporation, guess which one always wins Anyway, let's work on options for READERS to build their own reading list, maybe

Mom's staying overnight for my first week of #topsurgery recovery and technically I could still stay up later and chat with friends, and she can't do anything about it because I'm an ADULT And then she peeks through my door with a judging look and oh look at that it's 10pm I should go sleep!!

What is happening with clip studio? Looks like they might be potentially be bullied into compliance by payment processers similar to the Steams and Itch .ios adult games getting massive purges. "This includes plans to strengthen the system to include age restrictions" potential Age verification?

- We are working to update the service so that you can re-download materials you have already purchased or downloaded even if the original listing has been set to private. We appreciate your patience while these updates are underway.
- You can continue to use materials that you have already downloaded in personal and commercial artwork even if the listing is removed, unless it was removed for copyright issues or a serious rule violation.

Clip Studio Assets has a community of diverse users of many age groups, regions, and cultures, each with varying attitudes toward what is considered sensitive content. Increasingly, we must consider who is viewing such content and how it is presented. Moderation decisions are made on the basis of keeping the platform safe and universally accessible, with no intention to reject artists’ creative expression. However, as the Clip Studio Assets service currently operates on a binary choice between displaying content to all users or removing it entirely, there are cases where we are required to private materials or require modification before re-posting.

We recognize feedback from creators expressing that it is difficult to tell which specific elements are affected and how to modify materials for re-publication. We will provide clearer explanations in light of any changes to evaluation criteria, along with more concrete examples to make it easier for creators to check their materials before posting.

To support a wide range of creative expressions while ensuring user safety, we are working on ways to improve Clip Studio Assets. This includes plans to strengthen the system to include age restrictions, regional controls, and user preferences. Our goal is to enable creators to publish their materials to the appropriate audiences without needing to remove materials completely, so it can remain a safe and reliable service for both users and creators.

I got #topsurgery this past Wednesday and I haven't touched anything stronger than beefed up tylenol as far as pain management goes. And even then I haven't needed much. Guess my heavy upper body excercize from work helped with that???

If you make a character appeal to an “audience” you’re gonna be miserable. Mary sues are a stupid concept. Make your OC powerful Make what YOU want to see and what you like. Who cares if it’s been done before, or if it’s similar to another character, or might be cringe. It’s YOUR OC

Ah well. I'm fully aware that Bluesky itself has a lot of AI coding in it, but I think the moral thing to do is cut down on extraneous, pointless use of it as much as possible. Bluesky serves as a utility, while this stupid contest is completely useless, so it can easily be discarded.

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

There is no ethical consumption of HBO’s Harry Potter series

A text based image displaying the following:
GEN-AI IS THEFT
Generative Ai models such as chatgpt, sora and midjourney steal from artists/photographers/ writers/translators/3d modelers and uses millions of creator's work without permission. ANY use of gen-ai in any creative industry is denying a skilled creator a job.
There is NEVER an ethical excuse for using generative Ai

A text based image displaying the following:
GEN-AI IS WRONG
Not only is it morally and ethically wrong, gen- ai responces often include incorrect information or fabricated truths. Photos created via gen-ai are becoming increasingly more difficult to spot, leading to potentially dangerous misinformation.
There is NEVER an ethical excuse for using generative Ai

A text based image displaying the following:
GEN-AI IS DEATH
Generative Ai models use an incredible amount of energy to answer a single question or generate one image. Ai data centres require a lot of electricity and water to cool down the hardware and they also produce a lot of electronic waste. This is having a detrimental effect on our environment, effecting us and our plant's wildlife.

A text based image displaying the following:
GEN-AI IS RACIST
Gen-ai data centres are primarily built in BIPOC and low-income communities, exposing them to harmful waste and increasing electricity costs. This is by choice.
Gen-ai data sets have been shown to express a bias against non-white communities.
