Democratizing the arts looks like universal income, low-barrier grants for both emerging and working artists, well-funded municipal arts & recreation programs, vibrant third spaces, and a well-funded public school system with progressive curriculum.
Not a free pass for corporate-owned slop engines.

Every instance of "AI democratizes the arts, you're classist and ableist and a gatekeeper for trying to stop it" is a slap in the face to the literally centuries of poor, disabled people making art on the margins and a crass lie in service of a machine that strips down and regurgitates dreams

Brother Mort liked the peace and solitude of his herb garden but even so a visit from Sister Dot and her latest tranche of dirty jokes rarely went unappreciated

Threads is I think currently the most important social media platform because it's the only one where the witches have discovered the magical barrier protecting Trump from harm. it's not a barrier of his own making btw it's apparently an Outer God's doing

I wasn’t sure how many ways I could write “I love this set and it’s art and the story. More of all of it (especially story)” in a way that made sense, but boy did I try!

I tried to wrap my head around the #AD&D domain game. How does it work? Is it worth using? What ideas can you steal for your next D&D-like game, & which should you leave in 1979? Plus, what does a character's inhabited domain eventually look like, & how big are those peasant uprisings exactly? #OSR
AD&D's Domain Game: What to Learn, What to Leave, and What to Love
I'm currently in the process of trying to puzzle out how exactly "territory development" (what we would now probably call the "domain game")...

Transphobia rots the brain, which is why transphobes attack science and silence trans people.
What's that you say!
It was all just fear pushing by bad faith groups and that trans women pose no threat to cisgender women.
