Folks, listen to me.

Don't go looking up what blocklists you're on or who blocks you, down that path lies madness, poster's madness! Don't do it! People will block you for any reason, or no reason at all, just ignore it. I always assume that if I'm blocked it's probably because I was annoying.

Grammarly Is Facing a Class Action Lawsuit Over Its AI β€˜Expert Review’ Feature The feature, which Grammarly shut down Wednesday, presented editing suggestions as if they came from established authors and academicsβ€”without their consent.

I'm suing Grammarly over its paid AI feature that presented editing suggestions as if they came from me - and many other writers and journalists - without consent.

State law requires consent before someone's name can be used for commercial purposes.

We figured that #Arisan 's call to action could be a bit more lively, so now it's time we got moving.

Share and Support our campaign over on Kickstarter. Spectacular rewards and an amazing story are all waiting for you!

Oh wow I definitely wrote 8 pages of prose in my work notebook for an upcoming bit in campaign that won’t pan out how I wrote it but I had to get the thoughts out of my brain already.

a black-and-white digital inkwash sketch of Bayleigh as a cool dog with a long fluffy tail. She's wearing her patchy ripped jeans and a sports bra under an open button-down and big shiny boots, and she's sitting on the ground with a pen and sketchbook.

Alrighty πŸ‘ so!

Comms are always open and any help is appreciated πŸ˜‘

Oh just got reminded on how heavily Dreamworks influenced how I draw anthro characters. Wasn’t expecting that today.

They've come a long way
Today's a really big page to check out! This spread took me a while, and the details showcase our main protag Vahn going through their journey to get where they are now.

Catch up on my comic! It will be ending really soon too!

my partner said one of his younger, college-age workers was talking about how they didn't like their electric toothbrush and were thinking about switching back to "an acoustic one" and I can not stop thinking about it

I think the biggest damage to the art community was the obsolescence of gallery sites (y!, deviantart, etc) and the rise of scroll-by social media, like twitter and even tumblr. Art is not ''content'', you shouldnt need to post art every day (or every month!) to be relevant. This mindset sucks.

God this is so real. All these sites had their own sets of problems but I miss being able to have a curated gallery that people would actually look at.

Muting that thread. If there’s any amendments I should make, especially since I made that thread based on what happened to me, feel free to DM me about it so I can make a reply with an update.

(Beartato and Reginald, in a museum, gaze upon the Mona Lisa)

BEARTATO: There it is. The Mona Lisa. The most famous painting in history.
REGINALD: Wow! What's it do?

BEARTATO: It... what?
REGINALD: Why's it famous? What's it do?

(Beartato thinks.)

BEARTATO: I don't know.

REGINALD (to nearly museum employee): Excuse me! Sir? What's it do?

EMPLOYEE: You're the first person to ask! Watch this!

(The employee yanks a pull-string. Mona Lisa's eyes spin around and her mouth opens like a puppet)
MONA LISA: Honk honk! Honk honk!

(Everyone is delighted. This is true art.)

What is wild is that there are places where you can put your payment information (Spotify, tidal, and probably more) that don’t have 2FA at all. 🫠

I feel like if you can have card info you need to have that option for users.

Yup! I’m in a healthier habit of letting devices NOT remember my log in so it requires the authentication app every time. Annoying but necessary.

Also just realized you did answer my question earlier and I thought you were still talking about business clients! That is a big my bad, but thank you for reiterating it for me and others. It’s much appreciated.

As a note: this is for those who opened/installed a file sent to them over discord and lost control of their discord account and now have malware on their computer via social engineering because that is what happened to me just last month.

Good to know. Shame bluesky doesn’t allow edits to posts, but I did put up the amendment.

On my desktop we did put files I wanted to keep off the old hd onto a new one, but hadn’t gotten around to doing anything with the compromised hd. Good time to take your info for a drive on it.
