hey, this might sound a little freaky, maybe even a little radical, but I think the focus should be making sure writers/artists are properly compensated, supported, and have a secure way of living/creating instead of trying to replace us with robots, and/or having us train them.

It is always amusing to see people take what Zack says, well out of context and act like he is not actually putting forward a sensible policy idea. He says, oh the end goal will be to rejoin the EU, not, we will rejoin tomorrow.

Rejoining the EU, is a long term political project.

Trans authors (I mean authors who are trans, NOT cis people who write about trans people), drop your book links here and I'll try to repost as many as I can throughout the day.

Cis people: Repost trans authors' book links.

Being a trans author is fucking weird right now. Hell is actively unfolding all around us but I still need to be like, "hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book? It won't make anything better, but it's kinda fun?"

So....hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book?

This is like one of the biggest failings with the Online Safety Act in the UK, is it is nanny state behaviour and actually wont do anything.

The biggest issue that was discussed at some round tables I attended, was where is the investment in digital literacy for parents. parents need to do it
"As a parent, I am deeply concerned about what my child is accessing online. Albeit not enough to check or to install some very basic software that would prevent them from accessing dodgy material online. That's why the Online Safety Act is so important."

Labours majority in that election wasnt some ringing endorsement of the agenda they set forth, it was just rejection of the tories and they never reflected on that.
Reminder:

Starmer got FEWER VOTES than Corbyn did in either of his General Elections. Just 1 in 5 of the electorate voted for him.

In spite of GTTO, Starmer only won in 2024 because Reform took a load of votes from the Tories.

He's always been deeply unpopular.

Necessary but not sufficient.

He knew. And still appointed him.

Starmer needs to go.

Tim Allan, who just quit as Starmer's director of comms, was on the board of the trans-eliminationist hate group "Sex Matters", whose director of advocacy Helen Joyce urged transphobes to get through to "decision makers" so that the "numbers" of trans people could be "reduced." That's what they did.
One of the wickedest things Wes Streeting has ever done is push politically convenient falsehoods about suicide rates amongst young trans people. We have new data from the National Child Mortality Database that exposes the truth he tried to cover up.
New data shows surge in trans kids’ suicides following healthcare rollbacks | Good Law Project
A freedom of information request by Good Law Project has found that deaths by suicide of trans young people under 18 surged following the withdrawal of gender-affirming healthcare

Oh yeah; like, I cannot stress this enough. Keir Starmer hates queer people, like the fact he would have someone tied to Sex Matters as one of his closest advisors.

Like, on top of the transphobic policy making. This should eradicate all doubt. He is the company he keeps. So fuck Starmer
Today; I learned this ghoul worked for Keir Starmer and that he was on the board of trustees for Sex Matters, which to me, is like, holy fucking shit. The about of institutional capture transphobia has, like one of the people close to the PM, bugger me.

It always makes me giggle when some self-righteous debate bro pops up in my mentions to call me unserious or a fool.

If AI “authors” and “artists” are so proud of their use of plagiarism-bots, why do NONE of them label their work as AI-generated?

They all pretend they did it themselves because they *know* audiences hate it and *know* they will be judged for it.

Keep rejecting AI and support humans 💙📚

One thing I love about my efforts with art over the past several months, is making the time for it and I just get to see how I am improving and what I am learning from it. It is really cool, and I love it.

Creation wasn't supposed to be about product. It wasn't even supposed to be about making something "important." It was supposed to be about expression, connection, and also fun. We've spent decades being forced away from that, and "no creation, just product" was always going to be the endpoint.

Boring people with more snippets of art I am working on. More HR Giger stuff, a study from a still from the set of alien looking face on at the camera
February 6, 2026 at 8:58 PM
My current process ans progress as I endeavour to work on my artistry.- just need some water for the painting
February 6, 2026 at 8:38 PM
Speaking of bad art, and enjoying the process. A starting study of some of HR gigers work, one of my favourite artists. Ai could never conjure up so many phalluses in art

In the wake of the AI "art" discourse, I painted this earlier in about 15 minutes. Just messing around with watercolour blending and just giving some stuff a go from an art book I own. It was a joy to create, not something you get from just punching a few words into a prompt getting a rando image
Just did some free painting with watercolours, and was quite happy with the result, need to work on it and improve.
