Eli (opalescenteel / itsonlythee)

Guess I should introduce myself, so hello, I'm Eli! I don't really know how I'm gonna use this place (feeling so disillusioned with throwing myself at socmed in general) but this at least feels a lot friendlier and more like how things used to work. I hope it stays like this for a while.

AI is conscious AND it is my girlfriend AND it is my slave. A perfect scenario for me, a normal person. Not gonna think too deeply about this. Now do all other living human people deserve the level of investment devoted to my Tamogotchi slave girlfriend? Not so fast.

Unfortunately I had to drop out of @geekgirlcon.bsky.social. This has been a weird year for health things for me. I ended up fracturing my foot right before a dental procedure and the most responsible thing to do was to drop the event and give myself time to heal. (1/3)

EA's closure of BioWare is transparently a vile move to shutter the studio that made by far their queerest titles. In the wake of this, I implore you: MAKE MORE QUEER ART. Make it trans. Make it horny. Make it scary. Make it loving. Make it with every inch of yourself. Flood the world with it!

BioWare closing rings the same hollow bell in my soul as WB and Paramount becoming “Skydance.” Across movies, TV, publishing, games, we’re watching decades of legacy and history being hijacked and fed to the furnace of an abyssal engine with no desire beyond the abstract concept of “More.”

It's not enough to be against AI, you need to be pro art. You need to be a champion of the art you love, you need to share that passion and joy, and do what you can to support the artists who make it, because it's not enough to hate AI, to hate what it's doing to art and media; you gotta love.

Hi Internet! I'm Drew and THIS IS MY FACE. If this GIF has ever brought you joy in the past, I humbly ask you to consider making a donation to the National MS Society. It would mean a lot to me and to those I know affected by the disease! Donate at blinkingguy.com

What happens if a creator streams your game and is opted in? Does Twitch think it has the right to feed a developer's game into its AI slop factory? This has deeper ramifications than it seems on the surface.

Think of how many potential Nanamis we lose every season due to the current state of production. The industry needs to change. Do It For Her.

We've been in the ripping-the-copper-wiring-out-of-the-walls era of society for awhile now. There's no attempts to make anything better. There's no attempts to make anything people want. It's just syphoning gas out of cars and burying people in gambling debt from rigged betting markets.

Turns out that food companies were only checking their food because the government told them to, which is exactly why we need government regulations.

really thinking about this tweet as i’ve been struggling to breathe through nausea for the last 5 hours

pretty good i think

is your hobby even a real hobby if the community spaces for it aren’t currently clogged with guys trying to convince you to try the new app they “vibe coded” to introduce a completely pointless and broken digital workflow to your hobby?

I shouldn’t have to enter a life-ruining amount of easily hackable personal information to visit a website, and neither should anyone else of ANY age.

They're just hanging out in my brain now.

I am excited to announce I have artwork in the upcoming show MELT at five15arts! I had a blast with my mixed media artwork, combining a photograph from my film camera and quilting. Opening reception: 📍 1301 NW Grand Ave, Phoenix, AZ 85007 📅 Friday, July 3rd 🕙 6pm-9pm #phoenix #quilt #mixedmedia

I know this is not the biggest concern going these days, but it stresses me out that basically every artist/writer/critic is now expected to create their own tiny empire instead of getting paid by any existing entity to perform a job they've worked to get good at!!!!

Game failure? Layoffs Game success? Layoffs Game delayed? Layoffs Game delivered? Layoffs Game announced? Layoffs Game unannounced? Layoffs Game good? Layoffs Game bad? Layoffs Game AI? Layoffs Game no-AI? Layoffs Game hated? Layoffs Game beloved? Layoffs Money cares more for layoffs than games.

full body autonomy for all human beings including children. that includes gender, reproductive and abortion care. it does not include any fucking compromises

There's a video game coming out which used generative AI to make assets but is also "protected by Denuvo" which is just such a perfect encapsulation of how intellectual property law works and who it is for

We have an incredible problem: too many donations for our mutual aid hub and not enough shelves! We’ve outgrown our current setup, and we need to adapt to keep up with need, especially as we help candidates across the country adopt this model.

RIP Marjane Satrapi (1969–2026), and thank you for Persepolis. ❤️‍🩹

Rest In Power

So much of the pandemic was us finding out life actually could be easier and better and more accessible, and then watching them peel every scrap of that back out of our hands & lives, often for incoherent reasons. (return to office!)

Just let me draw pictures!! 🚫🗯️ [ #cuteart #illustration ]

You know what? I forgive him, instantly & completely. It sucks that he did that, but I have literally nothing else against Jorge besides this one ai decision, and now that he's reversed it I'm left with nothing but a faint sense of "did you really think that was going to go any other way?"

49,000 Lake Tahoe residents may lose most of their power so AI data centers can keep churning out chatbot sludge and billionaire profits. Imagine telling an entire community: “Sorry about your electricity, but the servers need it more.” Late-stage capitalism is a disease. fortune.com/2026/05/12/l...

Earth Day reminder that Trump’s EPA rolled back regulations governing clean air, water, wildlife, and toxic chemicals. He’s pushed to open public lands to drilling and mining. And he’s gutted clean energy programs while promoting dirty fossil fuels. He’s a danger to our planet and our health.

Free Comic Book Day is BACK! Here's the quick tl;dr: May 2nd, noon to 6, come here for free comics. For full details and the list of free comics we'll have available: crowsnest.quest/free-comic-b... For Just The Quick Facts, read on in this thread!

FUCKING LEAVE SUBSTACK NO SHIT THEY SUPPORT NAZIS IF YOU BIG PUBS LEFT SUBSTACK THEY WOULD HAVE LESS $$ FFS a lot of us already made the leap because we believe that fighting fascism is more important than doing the easy thing and complaining about it hey support NAZI-FREE liberatory writing:

This is my last week to work on mini commissions before I hit the road, so it’s kind of a last call here if anyone is interested in an exquisite mini-painting! I could still use a commission or two to help make my roadtrip expenses more affordable. DM me if you want to order. #commissions #artwork

Happy 20th, Neil! #neilbangingoutthetunes #rat #april13
