Great post by @trekkiebill.bsky.social

As someone growing up in Ireland in the 90s, Star Trek showed me the diversity that I didn't see in my everyday life.

A world where everyone was equal is normal in #StarTrek - it felt right to me too.

Thank you to Trek for opening my eyes to a wider world

Hello #portfolioday! It's my first time participating in this event! I'm a digital artist from New England, and I enjoy illustrating whimsy and imaginative pieces. I'm looking for representation and/or freelance work! 🌈

An illustration depicting two women sitting in a homemade tent of blankets strung up on a bare late-fall tree with no leaves. The women are sat inside this tent, which has the front of the blankets open to show inside, and are having a crafting session. Both women have longer hair and are wearing headscarves to keep their hair out of their faces as they make straw dolls. The woman on the right is making a kissy face as she has her doll kissing the cheek of the other woman, who is laughing. The other woman is also holding her own doll. On their laps are desk cushion hybrids so they can sit in their tent and work. In front of them is a yellow pillow propping up a skein of red yarn used in the crafting. There's also a discarded blanket. Above their heads is a handmade suncatcher with stars and hearts that are reflecting the light to inside the tent. The color palette is warm yellows browns pinks and reds. An illustration showing two women, one sitting one standing, harvesting what looks like corn on the cob that has odd blue string coming out of it. The woman sitting on the ground, who has shaggy black hair and a rich brown skin tone, is shucking an ear of corn and reveals it to be bright blue. There are others in a basket before her that are also blue. Next to the basket is a tin pail where the husks go, and on the other side is a similar basket with unshucked corn. The second basket is next to the second woman who is standing with two corn cobs in her hand next to the edge of a small corn field. She’s looking back at the woman on the ground with a fond smile on her face. They’re both wearing blue strings on their finger as well like a wedding ring. The second woman has long dark reddish brown hair and a lighter brown skin tone. The woman sitting on the ground is wearing a long skirt that’s rainbow with embroidered stars and a blue sweater. The woman standing has a long blue jean like dress on, dark blue stirrup pants over brown shoes. The pants have embroidered stars and moons on them. She’s also wearing an earth green cardigan with flower embroidery on it with red cuffs and edges. There are fall trees behind them. An illustration depicting a forest with a green house inside a clearing. It's wintertime and the trees are bare. The green house is 2 stories with stained glass windows that depicts a moon on one, a sun on another, and a rainbow on the third. At the top of the side of the house is a 'witches window', a window that's diamond shape. There is a stained glass pane there depicting a star. The house is painted in leaves and flowers. Under the windows, there are three bare bushes as it's winter. Behind the house and leading into the forest is a living willow fence with a tall arch that leads you into the clearing. Outside of the front of the house are two tables that show tools one would use to make linen out of Flax. In the yard around the house are piles of drying Flax. There's also a chimney with smoke rising into the air and a small, growing tree right outside the home. An illustration depicting a bedroom with a four post canopy bed off to the left. Next to the bed is an end table with lavender and other doodles painted on it. On the table is an oil lamp and a framed picture of two people. Those two people are featured in the illustration as a woman whose bedroom it is. She has long brown hair and is wearing a light green nightgown with various lace details. She’s smiling and looking up and reaching for another woman who has hair like the night sky. This woman is standing on the ledge of the giant stain glass colored window in the bedroom. Half of the window is open allowing for this night goddess to come through. The goddess is also reaching for the woman in the room with a smile on her face. She is wearing a dress that flows out of the window behind her and out of frame. This dress is deep purple and blue with a bunch of stars on it, connected like constellation s. Her sleeve shows 9 phases of the moon. Also in the bedroom in the foreground is a table with a pentagram inlay along with a sun and crescent moon. On this table are two tarot cards: the high priestess and the empress.

Gavin Newsom launched a website to combat the wildfire disinformation spreading about Los Angeles, because people can’t be bothered to do a simple Google search before sharing nonsense. And because people suck!

These extraordinary photos of the LA fires have been shared widely on social media, often without crediting the photographer.

These are all the work of Ethan Swope, an LA-based photojournalist working for AP.

You can follow his remarkable reporting here👇

A street is orange from flames and you can see the high winds in the palm trees. Sparks fly down the street A fire truck is engulfed in parks and flames are seen on the hill. The entire photo is red and orange from the fire A fireman with a hose runs across the front of a house in flames in the background The inside of a house is a ball of flames. The only visible thing inside is a burning Christmas tree

Yes AI art is ugly, but that isn't the problem with AI art. AI art will get better and it will still be unacceptable.

AI art is built on stolen art. AI music is built on stolen music. AI videos are built on stolen videos. AI text is built on stolen text.

Across all mediums, fuck AI.

“Why don’t you stick to acting?” It’s a taunt I often have hurled at me.

I am a gay man in America whose marriage is under threat.

The last time Trump was in office, hate crimes against AAPIs skyrocketed.

I care deeply about this country and the future of our democracy.

I’ll stick to activism.
