This needs to be one of the mandatory tests people should do before they're allowed to enter the open Internet
A Venn diagram with very little overlap between two circles one of which is labeled "porn that you can [pasta noises] to" and the other is "realistic depictions of sexual/intimate interactions between fictional characters" A third entirely separate circle below reads "media you should consume if you want to learn about healthy sexual practices or practicing kink in a safe and responsible way in real life with other real human beings"

I'm being so real right now, learn how to engage in media as art and not a reflection of your own real life morals. consume things that make you uncomfortable and understand why it makes you uncomfortable. Don't just base yours and others morals standings on the media you consume.

Amazing treasures of medieval legal history for a medieval Monday - the Catslechta ˙ (or Cat-sections) - an old Irish legal text on cats (the Senchas Már) which even sets out various categories of cats based on various characteristics or talents.

Fantastic news for artists: The lost functionality of Google Image Search as a reference image source has been recreated.
barrydeutsch.bsky.social Barry Deutsch @barrydeutsch.bsky.social · Aug 2
DuckDuckGo has added a feature to filter out AI images from search results.
Post from "The Rundown" July 18 at 5:30 PM · DuckDuckGo has introduced a new feature allowing users to filter out AI-generated images from search results, addressing growing concerns over synthetic content overwhelming authentic visuals online. The filter can be activated through a dropdown in the Images tab, search settings, or by using a dedicated AI-free domain: noai.duckduckgo.com. The system relies on curated blocklists, including uBlockOrigin’s Huge AI Blocklist, to detect and suppress AI-generated imagery. While not perfect, it significantly reduces synthetic content visibility. This move sets DuckDuckGo apart from competitors like Google and Bing by giving users direct control over their exposure to AI-generated material. Source: TechCrunch

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references.

Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.

"porn addiction isn't real" finally has scientific proof in a meta study because it finds the root cause - religious upbringing. And this was conducted by people who *went in thinking the addiction was real*! www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/wome...
Science Stopped Believing in Porn Addiction. You Should, Too
Research finds that porn-related problems are predominantly caused by religious conflict. Clinically, this means people need help, but not necessarily with the porn.

I wanted to remind people of the existence of Fantasy Icon Catherine Jeffery Jones (1944-2011). She was a huge inspiration to me in high school and is well known amongst the fantasy illustration community but i’m curious if she’s know well by young trans artists today. She’s one of the greats
