A lined drawing of two women; one is a pink-furred firbolg with long, dark pink hair and blue antler horns, wearing a yellow top and pink skirt. On her shoulders is a woman with pale skin and black and red split-dye hair, holding a bisexual Pride flag. A papercraft-style illustration of a werelion girl with short brown hair and blue eyes. She is wearing plate armor with a red cape, wielding a sword with flower motifs on it, looking confident and ferocious. The art is made to imitate cut and layered paper, with lots of texture and sticker stars dotted around. A lined reference sheet of a male humanoid character with dark brown and navy fur and birdlike feet. He has bright blue eyes, black sclera, silver and gold horns, dark hair with gray streaks, many scars, and lots of gold jewelry. His hair is styled in several braids and he has a long bushy tail. Above his head is a stylized crown shape that has snowflakes falling from it. He is shown from the front and back and in two different outfits, one casual and one leather and chainmail armor. There are close-ups of his face and all his jewelry pieces. An illustration of a DnD party sitting down to an elaborate meal. At the table are a goat centaur, a shadar-kai elf, a loxodon, two harpies, a kobold, a dog-shark hybrid, and a human. Lots of home-cooked food is laid on the table and all are filling their plates; the kobold, the chef, carries a large roast chicken to the table as the dog-shark snatches meat off of an adjacent plate. The atmosphere is warm, lively, and cozy, with warm lighting and lots of natural wood and plant life around.

An illustration of a purple tiefling, with braided hair, and yellow cat-like eyes. He is casting a spell, in front of him a light ball of magic is forming, some of the energy coming out of his chest, which has a glowing scar. He is wearing a red scarf with celestial symbols, and a blue coat which is open to let the magic flow.

Mind you this is no backtrack, they are just gaslighting you into thinking this won't affect you and the people you care.

Tumblr, Google, Facebook all these tech fuckers said the same and look where we are right now. No more giving the tech industry an inch.

Discord has posted updated clarification:

-Discord is not requiring everyone to complete a face scan or upload an ID to use Discord
-The vast majority of people can continue using Discord exactly as they do today, without ever being asked to confirm their age

From a presentation I gave a few months ago on how to handle personal cyber security while doing journalism safely during a protest
Slide, text follows: BASIC: Bonus Round Have a Ring or other Video Doorbell on a protest route? Fucking don't. Take it down while there's a protest. All those companies give that footage to the cops.

As a user affected by the Australian rollout: they're lying about pre-verification. Every Australian Discord user with whom I regularly interact is over 30, but we were still all required to verify
legendofnerd.bsky.social Brian M @legendofnerd.bsky.social · 1d
Discord is already starting to walk things back a little, so people should keep doing what they're doing (cancel Nitro, leave feedback/criticism, direct contact through support tickets/phone/email/etc)
Tl;dr: The vast majority of adults will never have to interact with our age assurance systems and their experience won't change, because we know Discord and how people use it, so we're designing to respect privacy and deliver a safer experience while minimizing friction for adults. Hey folks – I’ve been on Discord since very early 2016 and actually joined the company in 2017. Safety is one of my areas, so today’s announcement on our blog is something I’ve been pretty involved with. I’ve always cared about Discord's approach to privacy (E2EE for A/V was another of my projects here), so I figured I’d add some more context to today's news. I can say confidently that the vast majority of people will never see age verification. I say this because we launched age assurance in the UK and Australia in 2025, and we have some pretty good data on this now. The idea here is that we can pre-identify most adults based on what we already know (not including your messages!), and that looks to get us pretty far here. No face scans, no IDs, for the vast majority of adults. And if you are one of the smaller subset of folks that we can't definitively pre-identify, then still, you only have to do it if you're accessing age-restricted servers or channels, or changing certain settings. That's really not most users. (Altho... might be more Redditors, tbh.) Last, I know that there is concern about privacy and data leaks. That's a real concern. The selfie system is built purely client-side, it never leaves your device, and we did that intentionally. That'll work for a bunch of users who aren't pre-identified as adults. But if you do end up in the ID bucket, then yeah, you're right that has some risk. We're doing what we can to minimize this by working with our range of partners (who are different partners than the data leak you read about), and if it's any help, we learned a lot internally from the last issue. But I get if that doesn't necessarily inspire more confidence. Anyway, we’ll be sharing more next month as we get closer to the global roll out about the system, including the technology behind it in March. I honestly wouldn't be happy if we didn't build something good and I am excited about what we’re launching, but please let us know what you think when we share more details. And I really appreciate everybody's feedback here today. We’re definitely reading it!

exactly and I want to have my NSFW channels and talk to other adults about how much I like drawing dick!! not sorry about it!

it's not okay to write this off for "just" being NSFW channels! also op is right, we queers are getting shafted again no doubt.

"Don't worry about the Discord thing, it's only NSFW servers and channels that will require age verification! :)"

I could remove every speck of risque imagery/topics from my community and there's still a 50% chance we'd get flagged just because we're openly queer.

It's not actually about the kids.

Hey y'all, I made a document to condense my experiences with DayLITE if you'd like to give it a read.

He deleted a lot of his chat groups that I was in, so I wasn't able to grab a whole lot of screen shots - I'm pretty sure he even edited our own DM.

My Experience With DayLITE
I’ve never had to write one of these kinds of documents before, so I’m going to try my best to keep things linear. As a disclaimer, I’m only writing about my experiences with Cam/DayLITE Publications....

meet Atlanta ⚖️💖⌛

inspired by rich red velvets & sun/balance motifs
My Winx Club oc (or original character), Atlanta, pictured in her Enchantix transformation. She has deep brown skin with natural braids tied up in a high ponytail, set with a maroon tie and wearing a star-pointed golden crown. Her motif is teal and red with hints of gold, she is wearing a teal dress that descends into a fluffy back skirt with a red corset and red opera gloves. Her sandals are gold with tiny red gems and fastened in the shape of triangles. Her wings are two tiered, being mirror images of each other shaped as eyes. The top set has dark teal outlines with red irises and golden scleras, and the bottom set is large, ornate, almost sun-like eyelashes with one wing having a red eye and one having a blue one.

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.

Hundreds of kids are still detained.

Make sure to make a support account that ISNT tied to your Discord email and identity to leave these comments.

I dunno if Discord has ever done reprisal for resisting their bullshit but - for incredibly obvious reasons - I would not trust them.

Do not leave Discord yet. Prep your alternatives. Have your backups. Research. But.

Cancel your Nitro. Send an email or support form a day. Call if you like. If you couldn't before for the Visa card shit, now is the time.

And above all else; stand by your communities. Fight.

FIGHT.

Have a random space dragon I drew a while back

May revisit this for fun because I don't like how I made the wisp into a weird black hole thing to the top right 🤔
An illustration of a blue whispy dragon in a night sky. Their neck seem to wisp away into a black hole in the top right corner. A little star flower blooms form a space above their head. The dragon looks to the left of the screen.

One of the first instances of me featuring terrasmith abilities as I move away from DnD to work on my own project. Aurelious crafting his body/armor with threads of gold.

#OCsky #demon #art
Aurelious, still retaining a lot of his tiefling appearance, holding one arm up and one arm down as he pulls shards of rocks toward him to meld together a suit of armor made of stone. He has a "fluffy" collar made of white stone and what appears to be a full plate stone armor. His arrow devil-like tail is tipped with gold, as is the tips of his horns. His hair is tied into a bun. His feet and hands are cracked in gold, as if freshly made. He stands in a simple cave BG smirking.
