Some Anti-AI banners i made, anyone is free to use them, no credit necessary. Light mode and Dark mode versions.
Art and writing and people’s rights need to be protected, and AI has been used already to steal, plagiarize, and be used to threaten people using deepfakes.
As an artist and a writer, it’s an insult to my craft to see AI “works” along side mine.
Like i said, anyone is welcome to save/put these banners on their blog, or on posts, please just reblog this if you do.
this was jumping off from recent kentuckyposting, but if you’re american this list should radicalize you. It’s just a parade of the evils of this nation
The US county with the lowest average life expectancy (as of 2014) is Oglala Lakota County, South Dakota. It is a Native American reservation with a 92.9% Native American population. The average life expectancy there is 66.81 years.
If it were a country, it would rank below 150th in worldwide average life expectancy.
The second county on the list is Union County, Florida, at 67.57 years. It has a high prison population—one-third of the county’s population is incarcerated.
The list is dominated from there on by Native American reservations, counties in Mississippi with a 70%+ Black population, and Eastern Kentucky and West Virginia coal country.
“Detroit-style pizza was originally baked in rectangular steel trays designed for use as automotive drip pans or to hold small industrial parts in factories.”
the talk about art as something divine and mystical runs completely counter to reality: anyone can do it if they wanted to. its not a super power, its a skill. like handling a knife or power tools. anyone can do it.
this is a better conception of it and does more to properly value the creation art as a skill.
If you consider art to be the work of “genius” or “the divine” you inherently assume that the work involved in making art is inconsequential. as art is then viewed as something that happened via magic as opposed to something that happened through effort.
The LGBTQ community has seen controversy regarding acceptance of different groups (bisexual and transgender individuals have sometimes been marginalized by the larger community), but the term LGBT has been a positive symbol of inclusion and reflects the embrace of different identities and that we’re stronger together and need each other. While there are differences, we all face many of the same challenges from broader society.
In the 1960′s, in wider society the meaning of the word gay transitioned from ‘happy’ or ‘carefree’ to predominantly mean ‘homosexual’ and was an umbrella term that meant anyone who wasn’t cisgender or heterosexual. The community embraced the word ‘gay’ as a mark of pride.
The modern fight for queer rights is considered to have begun with The Stonewall Riots in 1969 and was called the Gay Liberation Movement and the Gay Rights Movement.
The acronym GLB surfaced around this time to also include Lesbian and Bisexual people who felt “gay” wasn’t inclusive of their identities.
Early in the gay rights movement, gay men were largely the ones running the show and there was a focus on men’s issues. Lesbians were unhappy that gay men dominated the leadership and ignored their needs and the feminist fight. As a result, lesbians tended to focus their attention on the Women’s Rights Movement which was happening at the same time. This dominance by gay men was seen as yet one more example of patriarchy and sexism.
In the 1970′s, sexism and homophobia existed in more virulent forms and those biases against lesbians also made it hard for them to find their voices within women’s liberation movements. Betty Friedman, the founder of the National Organization for Women (NOW), commented that lesbians were a “lavender menace” that threatened the political efficacy of the organization and of feminism and many women felt including lesbians was a detriment.
In the 80s and 90s, a huge portion of gay men were suffering from AIDS while the lesbian community was largely unaffected. Lesbians helped gay men with medical care and were a massive part of the activism surrounding the gay community and AIDS. This willingness to support gay men in their time of need sparked a closer, more supportive relationship between both groups, and the gay community became more receptive to feminist ideals and goals.
Approaching the 1990′s it was clear that GLB referred to sexual identity and wasn’t inclusive of gender identity and T should be added, especially since trans activist have long been at the forefront of the community’s fight for rights and acceptance, from Stonewall onward. Some argued that T should not be added, but many gay, lesbian and bisexual people pointed out that they also transgress established gender norms and therefore the GLB acronym should include gender identities and they pushed to include T in the acronym.
GLBT became LGBT as a way to honor the tremendous work the lesbian community did during the AIDS crisis.
Towards the end of the 1990s and into the 2000s, movements took place to add additional letters to the acronym to recognize Intersex, Asexual, Aromantic, Agender, and others. As the acronym grew to LGBTIQ, LGBTQIA, LGBTQIAA, many complained this was becoming unwieldy and started using a ‘+’ to show LGBT aren’t the only identities in the community and this became more common, whether as LGBT+ or LGBTQ+.
In the 2010′s, the process of reclaiming the word “queer” that began in the 1980′s was largely accomplished. In the 2020′s the LGBTQ+ acronym is used less often as Queer is becoming the more common term to represent the community.
We protect us
lesbians got their place at the front of the acronym through kindness and I think that’s cool
Considering the recent targeted terminations against blogs run by transfems in the last couple of days (angel-athetos, fungalfaggot, coyote-roadkill, hound-mother, corpse-of-omelas-ageplayer and my previous blog, zebrabyopn3), some close friends and myself worked on a google form where users can make submissions for their terminated blogs. Too many of us have lost our blogs and everything in them, yet there’s no existing record of blogs that have been terminated, so we want to change that. If you’re not a transfem you can also answer, as we want data about all deleted blogs in general, like: the name of the banned blog, date of termination, and if there was a reason given or warning for the deletion (or not)
The form consists of 8 questions and takes around 3-5 minutes to answer. We’d appreciate sharing this with anyone that has been unfairly terminated, so we can create a record, so those blogs and their names can be remembered
this is super important for whatever legal anti discrimination action might result! Document document DOCUMENT. please share this around.
I work in gaming and do this all the time. I learnt long ago that no matter what games I name, when a guy demands I name what I’m playing, that they will shit on them.
So now I just make shit up when they try to “catch me out” and listen as they list how wrong I am and all the things wrong with something that doesn’t even exist. It’s a wonderful hobby and I heartily recommend it.
Of course “God’s chosen people” think they own God’s rain. Why should anyone be surprised at this LAW in isnotreal. Yes, you read that right. It is law.

Happy pride everyone , this month Zionists and Israelis will be making posts like these to justify their treatment of palestinians. don’t fall for it, this is pink washing. the term “pinkwashing” was literally coined specifically for Israel.
if they refuse to protect their own queer israeli, why should we let them cast judgement against queer people who actually want to stop their genocidal mania?
Don’t let them use LGBT rights, which they do not believe in in the first place, to make people support their slaughter of innocent civilians.
gay and interfaith marriages are also illegal in israel btw LMAO
Itamar Ben-Gvir, one of the most bloodythirsty cheerleaders for the slaughter of Palestinians in Israel right now, used to hold these parades where he’d compare LGBT+ people with animals. Israel is not an LGBT+ ally state, and the current government is even moreso not an LGBT+ ally government.
Being adhd is literally a joke. “Hello i can only work with clear instructions! But if you try and tell me what to do i will imagine myself as a rabid dog gnawing and shaking and biting you as a toy” that’s so silly i feel sick
I just remembered my second Pride, where I made different flag themed daisy chain bracelets/necklaces to hand out. I need folks to understand something:
They were free.
They were fucking free.
They were maybe ¢60 of acrylic yarn each at the most, and the whole ziploc bag of them took 2 hours max.
Three people gave me sad eyes until I took their money.
Someone who was clearly the mom friend of their group made me take a $5 and gave a 10 minute pep talk.
At least four more people insisted on getting change to pay for the, once again, free bracelets.
In spite of all these shenanigans, the absolute best was this one person who I can only describe as, “queer surfer dude who looks like a boyfriend who looks like a girlfriend.” I can remember nothing of the outfit, only the impeccable vibes. I did the same thing I did with everyone else, explaining the bracelets were free, and they nodded along as they took the last 6 strand rainbow bracelet. As soon as they had it on their wrist, they pointed at something over my shoulder and, like a fool, I looked.
Next thing I know, they’re running off cackling, yelling, “YOU’LL NEVER CATCH ME!” and I’m holding a fucking $20. I had to stop at least two people from chasing them, cause they thought the person stole something, and then they tried to give me money cause they thought it was funny seeing me flail over people being Too Nice.
That was the year I got reverse-robbed at Pride. I hope everyone out there is having a good time and, in particular, that queer surfer dude is out there still causing benevolent chaos.
Anyway for those of you not enmeshed with tumblr’s transgender mycelial network, or otherwise on its periphery, basically every damn day of pride month another couple trans bloggers have gotten wiped, regardless of blog content, following, blog age, anything, and it shows no sign of slowing. In general it seems to be hitting transfems more liberally, but transmasc and nonbinary friends of mine have also been wiped for their steadfast solidarity or Just Cause. There’s also been an uptick in posts being almost immediately marked mature by community tags for no discernible reason beyond “Posting While Trans”. This is a time to stick together like goddamn epoxy resin. Vocally defend and support each other. Block and ignore any wretched cunt spreading callouts or stirring up shit. Make sure you have a way to talk to your friends beyond this site. Don’t buy badges, don’t blaze, cold shoulder the fuck out of mod blogs, and give voice to your discontent.
as is tradition I would like to wish a happy pride month specifically to this Indian guy I used to work with who came SPRINTING to find me when there was some buzz in India about gay marriage being legalized (this was in like 2018ish, it’s sadly ended up not panning out) to ECSTATICALLY say “you know what this means??? it means men better start acting better, or their wives are going to leave them for women!!!” he was so excited for all of these hypothetical women who were about to finally leave their loser husbands and lez out. that’s a true ally, I hope he’s thriving wherever he is.
Introduce him to this man, and they can educate the world!
Saying “voting doesn’t matter” might reach your younger peers online but it certainly hasn’t reached Clangus Hargbarg who was part of the kkk in 1951 and still sends in his ballot. He hasn’t missed a one.
PLEASE vote. It’s not just about the Presidential race; down-ballot and local elections arguably matter even more.
a lot of people are tagging this with “film” and “movies” or talking about the magic of moviemaking but i really want to point out that Kidding is a TV show.
i feel it’s important to make this distinction because there’s a common (sometimes subconscious) thought that TV is a lesser form of digital art compared to film, but television, especially recently, has been phenomenal and it deserves proper credit as a storytelling medium, as well as a craft just as capable of amazing work like this
ok i’m gonna be real. “maggots in the brain” is a very clearly anti-zombie insult. its directly implying that undead who have rotten brains are stupid, which is not true. some of us are even scientists. there are zonbies at NASA!!! we’re not stupid.

🧛♂️ dickandballtortureFollow
It literally directly stems from the idea that all zombies have maggots in their brains. How could it not be anti-zombie?

You can only reblog this today! Next time Thursday 20 will follow Wednesday 19 will be in 2439!
that can’t be true. like that would mean that the next wednesday the 19th is that year, because like, every wednesday the 19th is followed by a thursday the 20th
Actually, all of the Thursday the 20th’s that would happen until then fall on leap days, so it doesn’t happen

A Seattle-area guaranteed basic income pilot gave low-income residents $500 a month to help reduce poverty. Employment in the group nearly doubled, and numerous unhoused residents secured housing.
Oh gosh look: another successful UBI pilot program.
Not only was employment doubled in the test group, their savings increased, and health & life insurance coverage tripled. Many participants got health insurance for the first time.
It’s time to roll this out nationwide and with more money. The return on investment is undeniable and would be huge if it applied to everyone.
Not only the skill at motion, but the comedy sensibility-when the suitcase starts *floating* uncontrollably instead of just being stuck-is fuckin’ great:)
“real people don’t talk like that” can be a valid criticism of a piece of media but it can also be one of the highest praises i can bestow. there’s nuance.
characters who articulate themselves like online self-help tutorials written by an AI generated command prompt or someone who has never spoken to a real life person in crisis: real people don’t talk like that (derogatory)
characters who talk like on some level they understand they’re participating in a performance and the limitations of language itself are a burden on their ability to express themselves and be understood: real people don’t talk like that (thrilled, delighted, jumping for joy)
society if cis women realized they can talk about misogyny & reproductive justice without erasing trans people (because we are targets of misogyny as much as they are):
if you are a cis woman & you wanna talk about something like pregnancy in media, you can at least just say “i don’t have experience with trans perspectives on pregnancy, so i’m going talk from the perspective of a cis woman.” you don’t have to emphasize how “wellll for MOST people pregnancy is about being Female & tearing pregnancy is a Female-Specific Fear” im not even really asking for inclusion just Not acting like trans people are insignificant secondary victims?
