Yes it’s Valentine’s Day. But it’s also the chosen birthday of Frederick Douglass who was born in 1818 on a plantation in Talbot County, Maryland. He escaped from slavery & rose to become the most eloquent and forceful voice for the abolition of slavery & for Black voting rights in the U.S.

Remember folks, there are proven ways that blurring effects on photos can be undone to show the info behind them. Dont fall for this stuff, cancel your Nitro and yell like hell at them. We dont stop until they concede fully and promise no more.
Discord advises UK users that they "may be part of an experiment" where instead of their age verification data never leaving their phone, it will now actually leave their phone

If you live in the US, call your fucking representatives and tell them that repealing Section 230 is a horrible idea. If Section 230 is gone, you can kiss Bluesky goodbye.
Reminder that they're still trying to repeal section 230 (thereby making platform holders like bsky legally responsible for content posted by their users etc etc)

There is still a need for you to blow up your rep's phones on this if you enjoy being able to do things like "post" or "have an porn"

New Year 2026 - Morning After

Yes yes, it's late, but better late than never or something.

Looks like the girls had a particularly good time partying the night before, but now comes the cleanup on the morning after. Some are faring better than others.

Valentine's Day 2025 - Fight for Love

A day late, but Happy Valentine's Day!

Had a few pieces I wanted to do for it, but with everything going on in the world, this one felt the most important.

In incredible news, the European Parliament has voted overwhelmingly for "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women."

Even the center-right European People's Party voted for the declaration.

It will form a foundation for their position at the UN Commission on the Status of Women.

Our latest.
European Parliament Votes Overwhelmingly For "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women"
The resolution, though nonbinding, is a significant shot at those who seek to erode transgender rights on the continent.

What's so amazing about Jim Henson as a puppeteer is that he could literally be explaining that Kermit is made out of felt and ping pong balls and yet Kermit still feels alive the whole time he's doing it

Discord posted an update abt their age verification - I feel the need to inform people that all of these things were already true last year when they had that data breach that exposed people's IDs. Bad actors got into a customer support account that had access to tickets with people's IDs in them.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology
She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

I AM FURIOUS.

Adobe Animate remains an industry standard for TV animation. Star Trek: Lower Decks was made in Animate. Haunted Hotel was made in Animate. My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic was made in Animate.

And because you can't buy a permanent licence anymore, it'll just be gone.

please remember: part of why anti-ICE movements across the country are able to function as well as they are is because they are able to get the news out and get support via the internet

therefore, doing your part to pressure your reps to defend internet speech is one (of many) ways to help!
Please continue to contact your representatives and urge them to:

-oppose age verification laws
-rescind existing AV laws
-protect peoples rights to use VPNs
-protect section 230
The failure of age-verification laws is now turning into a War on VPNs. The British government and a number of US states are now proposing that VPNs be banned entirely, or only accessible to those who have surrendered to facial scans, ID check and other identity verification.

Aaaa! Dinner at Yiffany's [sic] did a reading of a story I wrote a couple of years ago, featuring @kmanicart.bsky.social and @ttothekay.bsky.social 's Franiverse characters! Thank you Ta'kom, it's an honour to be featured :)

(This story is safe-ish, much of the rest of the site is definitely not)
On tonight's episode, Fran and Katie, brave embarrassment and exposure while sneaking through an onsen; a quest to recover their stolen clothes! Along the way they'll experience chills, chases, and borrow someone else’s pants; all as clues lead them on a treasure hunt to recover their outfits.
