Go Tell Twitch to stuff AI right up its ass.

HERE: ▶️ twitch.uservoice.com/forums/92471... ◀️
Do not impliment the AI auto clip tool Twitch has implemented a sign up for an AI alpha auto clip tool. This is very unethical in many ways to not just content creation but also to things outside content creation. I ask twitch to remove this sign up and not engage in any use of AI when it comes to content creation. Facts about AI usage Google’s single Iowa data center alone consumed 1 billion gallons of water in 2024. The first way AI uses water is for cooling. Data centers run thousands of powerful computers around the clock. As these machines crunch numbers and manage data, they generate a lot of heat. To keep everything running smoothly, water is often used in cooling systems. This can mean circulating water through pipes to absorb heat or using evaporative cooling towers that release warm air. Ai is trained to use already created content for training with out user consent. This has already been happening on social media. Twitch's AI clip tool ''claims'' they will not use user generated clips with out consent for training to assume what constitutes as high engagement moments for clip creation. AI data centers now generate 2.5–3.7% of global greenhouse gas emissions, officially surpassing the aviation industry’s 2% contribution while growing 15% annually. It is very important that people speak up and say no to the AI clip tool especially partners and ambassadors as this tool is very harmful to the community. Turning it off as an option is not enough.

Tonight, over 240,000 Venezuelans will lose Temporary Protected Status.

The Trump administration is dismantling our core humanitarian protections, leaving hundreds of thousands at risk of detention, deportation, and harm.

Congress must protect TPS holders and pass a pathway to citizenship now.

The blue no matter who people, who spent years telling the left to enjoy the camps for telling them that transphobia and genocide are wildly unpopular election-losing positions, ended up voting for a sexual predator *not* running as a democrat who was endorsed by Trump, Musk, and Miller. Who lost.

What better way to celebrate Asexual Awareness Week than by spillin' the asexualiTEA with @sparklemaia.bsky.social! 1/2

Ace 101 by sparklemaia, published November 12, 2023 on https://www.ohjoysextoy.com/ace-101-sparklemaia Page 1 Two figures sit in a lavender living room that's very comfy and has lots of cats around. They are drinking tea. Maia: -and that's why I can't go back like, ever again. Friend: Completely fair. Speaking of fair: how was the maker faire? Maia: Rad! That's where I got this sweet hat! IMAGE: Close-up on Maia's black baseball hat, which has the black, gray, white, and purple-striped Asexuality flag on it. IMAGE: Friend holding tea mug and talking. Friend: It's... a pride flag... it's on the tip of my brain- Oh! The asexual flag! Friend: You posted about being ace in April! Full disclosure: I googled it, but I'm still pretty vague on what asexuality is... I think it's the "A" in LGBTQIA? But I still have, like, so many questions. Maia: I'd love to be your ace wiki for the day, if you're down? Friend: Ohh, yes please! Maia: Great, this is my jam. Let's spill the tea on asexuali-TEA! Maia: So, what would you say attraction feels like? Friend: Hmm... I guess it's like a strong pull towards someone? IMAGE: The friend leans forward to stroke a gray-striped cat that hopped on their table and is walking towards them. Maia: Totally! But it took some super personal chats with my all- (non-ace) -friends to realize we meant different things when we talked about being into someone. It turns out that attraction- that pull- is made up of different parts. IMAGE: Another table houses multiple bowls of looseleaf teas, with a sign proclaiming, "Build your own!". Each bowl is labeled differently: Sensual, Romantic, Sexual, Aesthetic Maia: I've got romantic attraction in spades. It's just that for me, that romantic attraction isn't linked to sexual attraction. Friend: So, when you feel drawn toward someone, you just don't... have the desire to bone them? Maia: Pretty much! And that's what asexual means: little to no sexual attraction. Friend: Hold up... a 'little' bit of sexual attraction still counts as ace? Maia: Yeah, it's not always an all-or-nothing thing. Some people experience sexual attraction rarely, or only under certain circumstances, or just at very low levels. It's kind of a spectrum. Friend: I guess that tracks, very few things in life are totally black and white! Maia (gesturing at the black, gray, white, purple-striped Asexual flag): Exactly. That's what the grey is for. Anyone who feels like they don't totally vibe with a 'typical' allo experience is welcome, even if they're in that grey zone between allo and 'absolute zero' sexual attraction. Friend: Sounds like there's lots of SPACE- in ACE! IMAGE: Maia plants the Ace flag on the moon, waving at a rocket (also emblazoned with the ace flag) as it cruises by. Maia: Haha, yep! My ace experience might not be the same as someone else's, but the label gives us a starting place for finding common ground. IMAGE: Back in the tea house, the friend observes two cats curled up on a shelf on the wall. Friend: Something I still don't get: you've talked about crushes and dates and stuff before. Are your dates just Netflix and actual chill? Maia: Haha, sometimes! But other times I do take it to the bone zone. For me, sex is often about emotional intimacy with my partner. Heck, sometimes I just need to scratch a biological itch, even if my body isn't pointing me towards a specific person to get it done. Plus, for me, it feels good! Friend: Whoa, you actually... like sex? Maia: Yeah, there's even a word for it in ace space: sex-favorable. And whether sex favorable, sex-indifferent, or sex-repulsed, all aces are still ace. IMAGE: Three cats illustrate the different states of asexual sexual interest. Sex-Favorable cat smiles and approaches a hand to be pet. Sex-Indifferent cat sits by itself, licking its paw. Sex-Repulsed cat is all puffed up and hissing.

Are you PREPPED for PrEP? Join @hiencomics.com.au as he learns about Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis- a medication to prevent HIV!
www.ohjoysextoy.com/lets-get-pre...
Let's Get PrEP'd by Hien Pham published October 21, 2025 on https://www.ohjoysextoy.com/lets-get-prepd-hien-pham Hien Pham illustrates in a more realistically rendered style, using the full spectrum of colors though the backgrounds are mostly a pale blue He is a Southeast Asian cisgender heavyset man with a short, bushy, black beard, fuzzy body hair, and glasses. He is mostly bald on top, with the rest of his hair pulled back into a bun. "Hmm..." Hien ponders to himself seriously, tapping his finger to his pursed lips as he inspects a wall of medical brochures. "What'cha looking for, Hien?" A ginger-bearded man asks as he saunters into the clinic waiting room. He wears a maroon bucket hat, white t-shirt, and jeans. "Want a hand with anything?" "Well... I'm planning some sexy comic research and I'm wondering..." Nervously, Hien perspires from his temple a little as he timidly asks. "...are there options in addition to condoms that my partners and I can use to have safer sex?" "Are you on PrEP?" The man asks, gesturing at a dark blue brochure on the wall. "What's PrEP?" Asks Hien. "It's a very accessible HIV-prevention medication!" The man answers while handing Hien the brochure, which is labeled "WAAC's Little Book of PrEP" Caption: WAAC, aka the Western Australian AIDS Council! Gesturing to another silver-haired man who is sauntering in, the bearded man offers, "Let me introduce you to Garry, one of our OG nurses here at M Clinic! He'll give you the rundown on PrEP!" "Hello!" Chirps Gary, giving a little wave. He sports a silver scruff of hair on top with the sides shaved off, with a well-kept mustache, stubble, and multiple ear piercings. He wears wristbands on each wrist and a collared short-sleeved shirt over another longer-sleeved one, along with jeans. Caption: M Clinic is Perth's only sexual health clinic specifically for men, trans people, and nonbinary folks who have sex with men. Breaking out of reality, an angelic light bursts forth from the sky with a larger-than-life-size pink-burgundy ribbon unfurling across the page. Enormous blue pills shower down with it while the word "PrEP" floats over all of it. Hien reverts into his super cartoony chibi form as he marvels at the scene taking place above him. "PrEP, or Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis, is an HIV-prevention medication!" Garry continues, but unlike Hien he remains more realistically drawn. "In short, it helps your white blood cells block the virus from putting down roots and replicating." Whisked to a pink scene, both Garry and Hien are chibi-fied and looking very stern in suits with sunglasses, their arms crossed over their respective chests. They are serving as bodyguards to an anthropomorphic, thankful white blood cell behind them, that blushes and clasps its hands in appreciation to its protectors. Before them, a brutal battle wages between anthropomorphic blue pills wearing the same kind of sunglasses as Hien and Garry while beating the tar out of anthropomorphic lumpy red and blue virus cells. "HAVE MY BABIES!" Hollers a virus through weeping tears as it struggles in vain to reach the safe white blood cell. "No dice, buddy." A tough blue pill calmly states, holding the virus back at arm's length. Caption: Taken properly, PrEP can be up to 99% effective in preventing HIV infections!

sharing my old blasian link doodles here since it's randomly been getting more notes on tumblr lately (even tho I posted it a year ago LOL) #art
Two digital bust drawings of Link from Breath of the Wild, drawn as a Black Asian person. He has warm-toned brown skin, brown eyes, and dark brown locs tied into a ponytail similar to canon Link's hairstyle. A few locs decorated with blue hair cuffs hang loose up front, framing his face. He has a wider, slightly arched nose and fuller lips compared to his canon design. In both drawings he wears a somewhat serious expression. Another drawing of blasian Link. He's holding up his sword and staring forward with a determined expression, looking a bit angry. It's a redraw of a frame from the game. The original reference image is faintly visible off to the side.

Gouache illustration of a black cat wearing a scarf with various geometric patterns on it. The scarf is in warm shades with some green accents. Watercolor illustration of a bunch of colorful pumpkins, with a beige striped cat sleeping on top of them curled up into a ball, slightly resembling the round pumpkins itself. Traditional fan art in watercolor and colored pencil. It’s an illustration showing the Pokémon Ampharos, with a little Togepi in its arms, standing among bushes full of yellow flowers. A small house, trees and electrical poles can be seen in the background, with Mt. Fuji faintly hovering over them in the distance. Traditional drawing in mixed media of a white cat with a yellow straw hat sitting inside a blue cardboard box. It’s surrounded with other boxes full of oranges.

baby wrap
Fan art of Toriel from Deltarune carrying a baby Asriel. She has wrapped him up against her back with a long piece of cloth with the Deltarune on it and tied up in front of her. It's a method of carrying babies often seen in many countries in Africa. Baby Asriel is sleeping peacefully. Fan art of Toriel, Asriel and a baby Kris from Deltarune. Toriel is teaching a slightly older Asriel how to carry his baby sibling Kris on his back and how to tie the baby wrap properly. Asriel is nervously balancing Kris on his back as Toriel is knelt next to them with her hand out in case Asriel loses his grip.

We report: the sun leaks into the sky, and we find its echoes in the clouds for a long time after. We hear the hiss of high voltage arcing as we watch, and we wonder if some turning off and back on is in order. Some of the troubleshooting pages are missing from the manual.
Digital painting of deep blue sky, half-covered in wispy silver clouds. There is bright iridescence coming up into the frame like flames, all shades of the rainbow, overshadowing the rest of the sky.

Showering with somebody else is already such an intimate, vulnerable action, but when your body dysphoria is at full alert it becomes an impossible ask. @qqnge.bsky.social tells a tender story about navigating that discomfort and finding connection.
www.ohjoysextoy.com/suds-n-kisse...
Suds & Kisses by Ange Friera, published 10/21/2025 on https://www.ohjoysextoy.com/suds-n-kisses-ange-friera Ange Friera draws with a a thin, textured line and uses a color palette primarily of browns, oranges, and grays- except for later in the story when the colors shift to blues, pinks, and maroons. The view starts outside of a residential building, just barely showing a person sitting on their couch on the other side of the window. The point of view jumps to the main character, who is looking at the TV remote in their hand, with the cuff of their thick brown hoody pulled up to their wrist. "Oh, it's out!" From behind their shaggy red hair, the viewer sees that the main character has a movie menu open on their wide TV screen. "'The Maestro'?" Calls a voice from the next room. "Yeah, c'mere!" The red-headed person replies, gesturing at the screen. For the first time we can see that they are a non-binary masc person with a light orange skin tone, round eyes, and multiple facial piercings and wearing a big thick hoody. They are holding a throw pillow against their chest while browsing the offerings on TV. "Oh, shoot. Hold on!" The voice from the other room calls back. Now popping their head in through the door with a towel slung over their shoulder, they continue, "I wanna shower first. Wait for me?" They have black hair that swoops over and past their shoulder, with the sides of their head shaved. Their skin tone is slightly darker than the other character's, and their eyes are almond-shaped. "Only if you don't take forever!" Laughs the red head. Cautiously, the black haired person offers, "You know... You're always welcome to join me. ...If you're feeling up for it." "O-oh." The red head hugs their pillow more tightly to their chest, a nervous expression falling over their face. "..I don't know..." Beads of sweat roll down their cheek. From off panel, the red head continues, "I just... don't feel comfortable in my body yet... Maybe after the surgery...?" "Hey, hey..." The black haired partner interjects, waving their hands quickly as if to wave away their initial suggestion. "It's alright, baby. Don't worry about it." They're trying to be reassuring but their brows are knitted. From their tight little ball on the couch, the red head replies, "... Okay..." without making eye contact. "I'll be quick!" The partner says, blowing a little kiss before disappearing through the door. A pink banner unfurls across the bottom of the page, stating "Read the rest on OhJoySextoy.com"
