That's one less sign booths need to make, but if you'd like to anyways, here's a free icon hinokodo.itch.io/human-made

Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.

A crowded broadsheet with way too many fonts. It says:
Forget ChatGPT Flyers

Stretch them

No whitespace

How about a whole new setting to use with Asher's Ridge, complete with a "limited series" string of episode longlines to play through? Stay tuned.

A book mockup featuring a lighthouse set against a green-gold sky. The title is "No one lives in Port Robert (Anymore).

To the left of the mockup text reads "Next time(crossed out) year on Asher's Ridge..."

To the right of the mockup text reads "In December 1951 the population of Port Robert and the island of Calraithe disappeared overnight. No-one knows what happened to this day.

In 2026 you got the greenlight for a limited series television show:
No one lives in Port Robert (Anymore).

You decide to film on location. There’s one problem: It’s October 1951, and you’ve no way home."

I want to become an artist on VGen so I can start taking more commissions. Here are a few of my pieces, and my portfolio is bekandrew.artstation.com VGen account: vgen.co/bekandrew/ #VGenCode

Digital painting in a painterly style of a pale, red-haired woman floating underwater in a flowing dress and deep red shawl, reaching one hand outward as her hair billows around her. She is styled like a Greek/Roman statue. Large dark tentacles curl through the purple-blue water around her, their pale suction cups visible, while small blue bubbles and scattered pomegranate seeds drift across the scene.

digital painting in painterly style of a young androgynous person from a futuristic apocalypse setting. She's jumping/falling and slightly crouhed. She's wearing a heavy military-style jacket, cargo pants, and boots along with a tank top, tattered blue scarf, and fingerless gloves. Her ashy blonde hair is in an undercut. She has a futuristic gun in one hand.

Stylized digital portrait of an androgynous young person facing forward, shown from the chest up against a dark purple background. They have an undercut with voluminous white hair swept to one side, pale blue eyesmade of an electronic cable, heavy eye bags, and multiple facial and ear piercings, including a micro SD charm on an earing. Cool cyan, lavender, and pink highlights give their skin an iridescent appearance. They wear a light hoodie and choker and appear to be sitting behind a laptop covered with stickers, including one reading “Bong Hits 4 Jesus” with a cannabis leaf, a pink brain, and a blue star.

being so fr when I say that transmisogyny has put feminism back like 50 years

seravph
what i thought we had distanced ourselves from was the reduction of women to vaginas and wombs and the ability to bear children. i thought we had progressed past 'dresses are for women and pants are for men. i thought we progressed past the idea that someone is less of a woman if she does not adhere strictly to beauty standards. i thought we progressed past the idea that naturally being comfortable adhering to highly feminine standards is vulgar. but i (sarcastically) guess no one could have predicted that trans-exclusive feminism would be the downfall of all the progress we've made
