For those wanting to look more into this m, it is a new “feature” 😬 here’s the source from Amazon directly. They are really trying to make people use their AI assistant.

I am a broken record but: this will require Supreme Court reform. There is no chance the John Roberts Six allow prosecutions of Trump officials to stand.

1/
Special prosecutors on day 1. Everyone in this administration who broke laws— including every ICE agent who ever kidnapped anyone— must go to prison. All of Epstein’s buddies prosecuted too, Democrat or Republican doesn’t matter.

Has to be this way or this country won’t survive.
No but really my fear is that the next democrat in the White House will be conciliatory and deliberate when what we need is a chainsaw and some sage.

Remember kids, in the year of our Lord 2026, if you see someone stealing food, NO YOU FUCKING DIDN’T
So someone was unsuccessful in trying to steal $300 worth of food from a business owned by the Sobey family (net worth $5.5 billion), and the cops thought it warranted a news release

Their mascot is AI and they try to harvest banking information from users for scam purposes. It's blocked for me by a blocklist I subscribe to so this is the first I've seen of them.

They seem to be targeting Vtubers so please keep an eye out.

Here's the alt text for that image:

I saw a tragically AI-generated version of this poster, so I have recreated a 100% human-made version for all your protest sign needs.

I love this idea. Also just hexing the lot of them.
A hexcrawl heist forms in my head:

"How many nobles can you steal from before the clock strikes midnight?"

Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And ne'er brought to mind?
And may the next year suck much less
Than th'last three years combined.

Sitting a stewing in frustration isn't nearly as cathartic as just designing a poster. Let's see how often I remember that in 2026.

Let programs frustrate you and learn from it. I've not done anything seriously vector (as in drawing one and using it elsewhere) in much outside of when I still had Illustrator. UI can be frustrating. I'm sure part of it is potential lawsuits from Adobe. But still. Power through!

On November 17th last year I sold my first enamel pin badge at canopyrobin.etsy.com in an attempt to create a new stream of income that might eventually cover the expenses of trans healthcare instead of perpetual GoFundMes 🏳️‍⚧️

As we approach the anniversary, I'm going to celebrate one design each day

If the last 15 years of the tightening chokeholds on society and culture from the tech sector and the American conservative animus have taught us anything, it’s that it’s healthy to be extremely skeptical of anyone calling the humanities “low utility” or similar

Hi all!

I'm casting my paid mockumentary about YouTube drama culture ($500 CAD, about 3-4 minutes of dialogue, self-tape from home). Looking for a trans woman to play JENNA, an indie TTRPG creator whose Kickstarter blows up and then falls apart. Details + sides:

JENNA EVERLY - Full Role Information Project: A ~45 minute mockumentary about YouTube drama culture. Everything is fictional, meaning fake creators played by actors, fake Kickstarter, and fake screens...

Last repost is one (of many) ways I have a hard time posting my sets, or even just silly little WIPs. There's only so many ways to describe what's going on, and I feel weird repeating it - even if it's exactly what's going on in the image.

Hey, instead of yelling at people about not using Alt text, if it's really important with you, post the alt text in comments.

Accessibility is important, yes, but let's not forget that people have different levels of energy to provide them.

It is not always malicious intent.
i think the accessibility features on bluesky are great but because i don't use the platform often, i always forget they're there. whenever i post my art, i post the same thing on all my socials at the same time, so it's a lot of copypasting.

This is your casual reminder that executive orders are not laws.

EOs are directives meant to manage the operations of the federal government. Not state governments.

The states that even deign to acknowledge this are the ones who actively WANT to. No one's forcing them.
BREAKING: Trump says he will sign an executive order this week that will limit states’ ability to regulate AI.
