woe #portfoliday upon thee, we cook up the sicko psycho beasts from the easts, brewing up the potent brews for the strange few. here to serve album covers, posters, book covers, creature concepts and character convents gain some insights and give us look 🍜 🐛 linktr.ee/wodeworm
Wading through a tepid sea of smog and death, mounds of angelic chronic creatures crash, bereft against fates supernormal shibboleth

The weariness of four hundred billion eons passed, no discharge from ferocious outcomes aghast, carved in stones, immovable, steadfastNeck needle-thin, belly distended with bloat, arms withered and rancid. These figures are the karmic reincarnations of those whose desires subsumed their life's aspects; such a profound mountain of misdeeds warps you into this karmic anguish. Many see them as populating different realms or even haunting ours, totally unnoticed by the universe around them, desperately seeking out any form of relief ; it is not an unending torment, but until these beings can break from their cycle, they continue to fester in the parts of their mind filled with desires that will never satiate them. sweaty convulsing feeling, the deep trembling dread of something in you,  moving your organs stealing your form, it twitches and bulges, the sickly festering horror of it, the final abyssal dread that crawls into your brain stem, as you release its reacting to you, its thinking, sapient being writhing into your deepest dreadful nightmare  Terraforming prototype, Infused with 4 new type nervous system, it erratically began warping the steal and structures of the colonys it was being produced under, green shimmering chitin and multi colored fleshy sinew's erupting from every fiber, seen as "unethical" better kept as a source of energy in the post war period that birthed it, its combat capability's  remain untested.

Trans people get called extremists for saying “hey don’t watch a wizard tv show.” Meanwhile people out here literally calling for legislative bans on our existence are propped up as feminist icons. Really just shows how those who make people uncomfortable or disrupt consumption are vilified.

The term is based on propaganda and conservative morality that always assumes sex work is uniquely evil, different than any other industry. Therefore anyone involved in it, must still labeled and othered, even when theyre consenting Who does this serve? How is this useful?

I hate the term consensual sex work so much. Despite trafficking existing in other industries, You don't say consensual nanny. You don't say consensual construction worker. You don't say consensual fruit picker. Consensual garment worker. Consensual nail tech. See how goofy it sounds?

disingenuous and utterly misleading reporting by RPS here: Discord did not suffer any kind of breach this is a completely-unaffiliated-with-Discord service
Gaming chat app Discord has suffered another user data breach, with a suspected 1 million email addresses stolen alongside (potentially many more) user IDs and IP addresses. While Discord was not targeted directly, third party security service Double Counter have reported a "deliberate, multi-stage attack" wherein hackers spent nearly six hours poking around their infrastructure before the vulnerability was closed.

Double Counter essentially acts as a bouncer bot for Discord servers, promising to detect and block unsanctioned alt accounts and prevent hostile 'raids' by large groups of malicious users. While its efficacy in that mission is debated by Discord users, and the service has previously been accused of selling user data for revenue, the fact is that Double Counter can collect and store personal info of the users that visit its 'protected' servers. Info that, now, has been partly or entirely nicked by Internet miscreants.

By Double Counter’s own estimates, around 1 million user email addresses have been affected, with databases of Discord IDs, usernames, IP addresses, and even location info for up to 28 million users also "partly" copied by the hackers. Security breach trackers Have I Been Pwned further report that 275,000 of the pinched emails and usernames have since been posted publicly.

this kind of misinformation contributes to how fucked up and shit everything is. you can't expect people to be media literate when you're feeding them complete dogshit discord didn't "feed" anyone *anything* here. it's just a generic bot you can add to any server! it's not special!

Seems like the difference between "Discord was hacked" and "Company who Discord openly shares sensitive personal data with was hacked" is somewhat academic.

Gary's name became synonymous with a widely reported unnamed baby who was found abandoned in a Gatwick public toilet and given his name by crew members who comforted him with a Gary doll. He was adopted under the name Steven Hydes and finally reunited with his biological father and siblings in 2021.
