your response to “I was raped” should not be “I was right”
4 panel comic

Panel 1:
A Purple Woman looks distraught, on the verge of breaking down. She says “that man raped me”
Orange Guy standing next to her is absent-mindedly checking his nails. He says “Wellll, I’ve always disliked him and his work.”

Panel 2:
Purple Woman begins to cry. Orange Guy adopts an incredibly smug expression and says “Guess I must just be a good judge of character”

Panel 3: 
Purple Woman dissolves into sobs. Orange  Guy notices, puts his hand on her shoulder and says “Aw”

Panel 4:
Purple Woman crumples to the floor. Orange Guy, looking bemused, asks “Are you crying because you’re jealous of how smart I am?”

For the #toxinfest, and Bryan being shown to hundreds of people, here's the sketches I made for Bryan! This was my first proper stab at a toxicsona and... yeah it's pretty scuffed, but glad this Toxicsona showcase motivated me to improve my skills! Really funny comparing my first and last drawing

The thing liberals fundamentally don't understand is that trans people are losing rights they already had. We're not asking for more, we're asking not to lose what we already had for decades. Most sports leagues and the Olympics had inclusion criteria for decades without issue.
Screenshot of an X (formerly Twitter) exchange discussing political pragmatism and the Overton window.
The initial post by onion person (@CantEverDie) reads:
> "doesn't matter, this is about what the right is able to push with the overton window. first its democrats needing to disavow trans women in sports to get elected, next it'll be agreeing to ban access to HRT to get elected. we've seen how this plays out"
> 
A reply from Nick Pappas (@NickAPappas) reads:
> "Are you insane? The Overton window didn’t even include this discussion until recently. The public has never been in favor of desegregating the sports by sex.
> Personally I’m glad Barack Obama ran against gay marriage in 2008. Not because that was the right position, or one he even actually held, but because he knew the public wasn’t with him on it. If he hadn’t won he wouldn’t have been able to appoint 2 of the justices who ultimately voted in the majority for Obergefell.
> Lincoln in 1860 didn’t even run on abolishing slavery! He just wanted to stop its expansion. And thankfully he did that and won because a more extreme and morally correct position would have lost. As a result he was able to win the Civil War and push through the 13 amendment.
> Political practicality is the entire history of progress in America. There’s no other way."

A bit early for Christmas horror, but had an idea for a Nutcracker monster that I didn't want to wait 4 months to make #art #horrorart #monsters
A tall, lanky figure make out of rotting wood resembling a Christmas nutcracker. What appears to be veins or wires are visible through gaps in the joints, and it's jaw is unhinged, dangling from it's face.

Tim Swindle cryarsing about AI disclosure being a scarlet letter lets slip something significant here, because if AI was all that slop jockeys claim it was, then surely such a disclosure would be a mark of pride, even a selling point! Surely people would be clamouring for AI games. But they're not.

someone on tumblr said it better than i could
I'm not saying be willfully ignorant. I'm not saying pretend horrible things aren't happening. I'm saying don't destroy your mental health going in-depth and cycling through horror after horror on your phone. I'm saying there is no virtue in making yourself experience other people's traumas because mere awareness is not activism. you inflicting suffering on yourself is not activism.
doomscrolling is literally sapping your energy and focus away from doing anything useful to help other people. you can burn yourself out without ever lifting a finger by exposing yourself to all the bad news in the world and who does that help? no one.

When people compare AI to the industrial revolution, what they leave out: the IR was hell on earth for working people. Their pastoral lives forcibly destroyed, their new jobs dreary, dangerous, low pay, and monotonous compared to their varied work before. It took decades of violence to fight back.

I like Bsky a lot, but it seems undeniable that the ownership/staff hate who their users are, and particularly hate the fact that trans people are such an avid userbase. In addition to being despicable, that's also concerning as someone whose living currently depends on trans Bsky.

welcome to bluesky, make sure you know the rules
'know the work rules' meme comic edit; at bluesky, "We need to purge this site of the filth which inhabits it" is an appropriate and normal position which is acceptable to hold. "What that last guy said is pretty fucked up," however, will get Aaron Rodericks called on you, and you will be banned for inappropriate and harassing behavior.

Panel 3:
