I know not every artist feels this way but fuck dude does my heart weep seeing most art on here having a 1:4 share-like ratio AT BEST.
I feel like people don't understand that "likes" are literally useless on this platform. It may sound weird but don't "like" art you like, SHARE IT!

Australians, spread this petition far and wide. Demands Parliament “open anti-trust investigations and penalize the unregulated monopoly of a key part of everyday infrastructure,” as “payment processors are not there to regulate what legal content people consume.”

It's official. The SAG strike is finally over. It took an entire year but now VAs have the AI protections they sought. This is a huge victory. Do not let anyone who isn't in the industry tell you otherwise.

Listen, if you're famous and you're going to make any statement about Israel's genocide, unless it is a fully unconditional condemnation of Israel's genocide, apartheid, and war crimes, just shut up. You don't want to be known as the "genocide and apartheid are bad, but..."-person.

you can always tell when a crusade is fascist because there’s never any evidence that it materially helps anyone. the threat is imaginary and the result is more violence against oppressed people.
transphobia is not progresss for anyone. it helps no one. it especially doesn’t help women, cis or otherwise. it’s a waste of time. it’s a waste of money. it’s needless pain and hardship in service of a fake issue. bathrooms were never in danger.
