Hey, for my fellow USians, please be sure to call your representatives to push back against the reskinned KOSA.

We've seen how powerful it is when we all speak out like against Discord, but they're trying to make that harder everywhere.

It'll be worth 5 mins now vs. years (if ever) later!

Kyra and her crew did it!! Everyone who stood up and told Buzzfeed no did it! This proves we have collective power and need to stand up to AI in art and animation whenever possible.

I’m doing my part!

Help us spread the word!!!

I’m genuinely so happy to finally have access to artist+ fr. I can finally open commissions somewhere I think it will matter. I’m just terrible with social media promotion bc I got into it super late and don’t understand how any of these algorithms (or whatever BS uses) work. 😭

Arisan update! We're at 3,444 & 74 backers! Thank you all again!

With less than a month I wanted to run an inquiry for folks willing to volunteer to help spread word to reach 400 backers. Please reply below if you are willing and we'll reach out!

Librarian here! Would love if people like this came in to any library and just asked what to read.

A big part of the job is recommendations. It becomes natural when your job is finding information for people all day. Literally just go into any library, say "Idk what to read". We'll help you out!

the targeting of any art that is "obscene" (terms of obscenity always to be decided at a whim) is fascistic yes but also how the only kinds of art that tends to be penalized is the individual/independent creators isn't lost on me. a patreon TOS would reject anything that can be streamed on netflix.

i bet this shit sounds magical if you're fucking stupid

Love their Jeff comics a ton! I first found them through their Thor and Loki: Double Trouble series which I highly recommend, they get the characterization down perfectly between the two/four.

Do you subscribe to any Pro AI blocklists? If so that’s most likely why, it’s showing blocked for me as well.

You need to call your reps and demand that they OPPOSE:

-the KIDS Act
-KOSA
-the Screen Act
-Sammy's Law
-the App Store Accountability Act

And additionally, oppose:

-reforming/sunsetting Section 230
-online age verification/ID laws

Hey, alongside contacting your representatives, this seems like another thing worth putting a bit of your time into and sharing around. If we could get "reputational risk" taken off the table, even in this current climate, that could create a chilling effect on these kinds of policies

EoD #Arisan update!

Taking some time to appreciate my buddy @ferdon10.bsky.social for the video work he did! It's in the quoted post!

Please take time to check out Fern's work if you can!

Brilliant!

Sometimes the good news comes in droves! Congrats!

:O YOUR ADOPTS ARE AMAZING!!! Your designs are so freaking cool!

I don't have it in me to even draw to grab attention. I'm burnt out. My grandma is in a home, I'm bruised up from moving stuff, and I'm hungry. My cat has food, but I've been surviving off of apples, bagels, and one big meal. I have $153 left and less than $600 left in credit. I can't afford to pay off my debt and survive. I've been unemployed for 4 months. I've gone to three different agencies for help. Still nothing. I'm so tired.

Please help. I don't know what else to do. I'm sorry I have to keep begging.

"Hi! I could really use some help right now! I have been jobless for 3 months, despite searching amd applying this whole time." "I am still paying off $2k in student loans and I'm over $4k in debt." "Any donations or commissions will go towards cat food, food for me, gas money, and all of my debt. Please support me on Kofi."

Hi guys. I really hate to keep asking, but I really need help. On top of everything, I have been going back and forth taking care of a sick family member while still looking for work. I can't afford to keep doing this. Please help me

If KOSA passes it will fundamentally change how we are able to interact and use the Internet.

KOSA must not pass.

For real though…

Unfortunately I have learned their thoughts on AI and past of venture capital… fuck man

Fuck dude…

I'm backing this, Flash is long overdue for an open source alternative and I want IN. It's already visibly taking shape and super promising. Take a look if you want to support free animation software!
