Smut artists and sex workers are crushed underfoot while AI gets a green light to steal your yearbook photo to make hard-core porn with the caption "AI GIRLS NEVER SAY NO"
This is a nuts story. An AI chatbot and image platform left millions of images exposed. They show what people are actually using the AI for: taking random women's yearbook, graduation, and social media photos and making super realistic hardcore porn with them

I'm watching an adult creator get systematically cut off from every income stream by payment processors and now debankment could be on the table. She makes legal content. They are trying to shut her up and hope that we'll shut up too.
We must get louder. Call Visa and MC. Tell them this will stop.

Ana's situation has gotten more severe. This is blatantly targetted debanking and [extremely unfortunate] proof that these call campaigns are getting under paypros skin
Keep calling Visa and MC and demanding they stop discriminating against adult content!

The federal blitz moved to Charlotte, but the trauma and damage in Chicago are still with us—and DHS says 1,000 agents will hit our streets in March. I wrote about what this moment demands of us: care, clarity, and preparation.
What Now, Chicago? Regrouping After Midway Blitz
Let’s make this a winter of fortification, of learning, and bonding together like the winter snow that federal agents are so afraid of.

Instead of my usual Friday shift with @supplydepotmpls.bsky.social , I got my 2nd shingles shot and went to the dentist. Then sat on the porch working on hygiene kits and listening to @mskellymhayes.bsky.social . Just what I needed. organizingmythoughts.org/burnout-is-n...

Had a great convo with an artist I know who’s looking for a way to help out. We talked about how there are images photogs often won’t share right now to avoid incriminating folks & talked about the possibility of trusted artists creating illustrations that don’t reveal people’s real world features.

I saw Miss Major speak once; she received many questions about handling hard things, e.g. burnout, disagreement w/ allies, etc.
Over and over, Miss Major gave a short and pointed reply which basically boiled down to “You get up, every day, and you do the work.”
So let’s do the work, for her.

The worst thing to happen to me today was an old coworker, who told me multiple times that she’s just glad it wasn’t her, emailing me a job I applied to months ago and haven’t heard back from and then right after getting a rejection from a different fucking job
