I've now been living in Portland for a year. Feels weird. Good weird mostly, but it's still difficult considering I haven't been able to land a job yet and have survived solely on the kindness of others.

Believe it or not I don't very much like to share my kofi. I know how much everyone is struggling. I'm just in a position where I kinda have to.

I may have asked this before but… Would anyone who takes comms or does art as a business be willing to maybe help me understand how to do this without it becoming an overwhelming tangle? Like finances, organizing files and tasks, any of that? I wanna draw, but this is still weighing me down ty ;n;

It should be said as many times as possible: fuck Gavin Newsom, and if you're advocating for him to run for president fuck you too.

The single most important thing to understand about digital futurism is this: When the tech barons’ predictions about the future fail to come true, they don’t have to give the money back.

Jensen Huang just claimed the Singularity hit and we have achieved AGI. So two years from now, when we don't have fusion power and intergalactic travel etc because The Singularity is a fantasy, I assume everyone will admit they've been had.

I'm sorry but the remastered Ocarina of Time looks like those horrifically realistic drawings of Simpsons characters people would do as a joke.

This is low-level propaganda that elides the real story, which is that the younger candidate in this race is an anti-trans clown and the older candidate is one of the Senate's strongest progressives. Please vote for Markey in MA, friends. The old guy is the only choice here.

Tuesday’s primaries in Massachusetts have turned into the latest battlefield in the Democratic Party’s generational divide, with several longtime legislators facing off against younger challengers.

if you watch it you tell WB to keep making more Potter stuff and you show them that directly funding JKR’s transphobia, that she LITERALLY uses to strip trans women’s rights away, is not a dealbreaker how could i ever feel safe around someone who buys her the boots she uses to step on my neck?

My incredibly lukewarm take is that paying taxes isn’t an inherently bad thing (in fact, it can actually be a good thing); people just need to be able have a say in what their taxes are paying for, and government should be obligated by law to spend taxpayer dollars accordingly

Johanna T 👻 📚@johannamation.bsky.social

People like this columnist can’t fathom a world where people actually WANT to pay taxes toward a service that benefits their fellow humans and improves society as a whole, and that honestly makes me sad

If you show up to Bluesky without following anyone, you'll be treated to a series of posts about art, music, and dogs. If you show up to X without following anyone, you'll be bombarded with right-wing conspiracies and white supremacist slop. It's weird which one is seen as a "political bubble"

"saudi arabia owns EA" is going to be the headline you see basically everywhere for this one but "jared kushner is about to use EA as a vehicle for trump administration bribes" is equally relevant imo

The Luddites' actual argument was that automated looms meant expensive, skilled workers were being replaced with literal children, who were then getting maimed and killed, and maybe this is bad.

SlacktivistFred@slacktivistfred.bsky.social

The Luddites were “clinging to horses and carts” because it was the early 19th century and cars hadn’t been invented yet.

Portlanders, especially folks on the West Side: my PSL branch is throwing a community cookout this Saturday! Come on by! (I also did the art for this if you can't tell)

Does this news outrage you? Does it make you want to make zines? Do you want to know how, even without a computer? Here's an easy step-by-step guide by @thorazos.bsky.social. Print out the pages below or purchase copies cheap at the link. www.etsy.com/listing/6936...

Robin Bougie@robinbougie.bsky.social

They gave US zinester Elizabeth Soto *50 fucking years* in prison for publishing a zine that supports an anti-fascism stance. Prosecutors also used her feminism themed zine, and an anti-AI zine as evidence against her. This is unprecedented.

Hey so this new KOSA/KIDS Act proposal has a little note in it that creates a whole new special Trump-appointed team to regulate the internet. So no more Congress votes. No more checks & balances. Just whoever the president picks to decide the future of YOUR internet. You aren’t mad enough.

A better look at Surgy, our favorite resident robot connoisseur. He started out as a main character of a gritty post apocalyptic graphic novel, and ended up as my company logo. Either way, for me, he’s symbolic of the spirit of creativity! #surgy #surgyrobot #characterdesign

Fuck it. While I'm still mad, let’s talk about the apathy starting around AI. Do not let people online gaslight you into accepting the slop into your life. When you discover something you rely on has been secretly using it in the backend, you do not shrug. You don't just sigh and keep scrolling.
