You have to recognize your capacity for harm. You cannot omit the harm you've done to others to remain "good." Anybody can be a bigot. Anyone can be an abuser. Anyone can harm anyone at any time even those who have been harmed themselves. The world is not made up of victims and villains only, this is life, not a Saturday morning cartoon and you are a human being who can or maybe even has hurt others and you HAVE to acknowledge that to learn to be better.

Quantum phenomena, which light is, will never not be magical to me.

I think I like Boüg most. It would be really interesting to see the mashup Boüg???. Boüg??? definately would not be cosplayable.

Every* Type of Mecha

*Not Actually Every Type.

Something I spent WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too much time on lol. This is entirely just riffing off of the many 'kinds' or 'tropes' in mecha design I found. Feel free to suggest more of them.

Might make a document providing examples for each one, but idk. I think most of these are pretty self-explanatory.

I love infrastructure! I must add more rails.

An Exo Titan from Destiny in Rimworld. I think they'll be okay. The whole eating is optional and death isn't permanent business and all that.

The last character you drew/wrote about is now stuck in the last game you played. How screwed are they?

the 3.5mm headphone jack was the wound through which light entered your phone it was a little cave for angels to live in inside your phone and big tech got rid of it cause theyre scared of God the wrong way

It seems appropriate to raise engagement with this.

Character art, furry art, cat, fantasy, sci-fi, digital art

I am not an artist, but I love art. Real art, not machine generated drivel. I can only add numbers to the engagement metrics on this post, so that is what I will do.

AI and Tumblr

In the event of any kind of AI Art API is to be trained on this platform I do not give permission for my art to be sampled or used to train AI without financial compensation, artists hold the copyright to our art and any intentional mimicry or sampling of my art by an artificial intelligence is infringing on an artist's rights to their creations.

We as artists will not take this grim proposal between Tumblr and Midjourney laying down, this was the last safe heaven for a lot of us and you are now holding knives to us entirely to solve your financial woes instead of offering meaningful solutions. You are going to bleed your community of all trust and all revenue you still eek out of us. Your ways have changed from one of a community built around passion for fandom and the creative mind to one of greed and exclusion. You have been showing true colors and they are ugly, they are sickening, and they will kill your platform. If this deal goes through, may your platform die slow and painfully, may you watch your most loyal of whales walk away and leave you drying out in the hot pavement that is bankruptcy.

A random thought I feel like sharing into the void:

Almost definitinally transhumanists/body-modders have to be okay with transgendered folks. I'm not super well traveled, online and offline, but I see enough gatekeeping in communities that I expect there are transphobes in the transhumanist and body-modder communities. It doesn't make sense to exclude transgendered people, though. They are making an effort to be more/different than the body they are born with. Who cares if it isn't some grand cybernetic enhancement, or even if they get gender affirming care. They are modifying themselves. I like that. Biopunks, the lot of them.

Rock on, trans punks.

Anyway, just my random thoughts, O dear Void mine.

I, too, have been a victim of physics.

a story with that cyberpunk theme of “are you really human if you modify your body to gain power“, except the body modification is just strength training.

Babygirl my minecraft house is fucked up in ways you couldnt even imagine

You're given two job offers. You can only accept one, and you can't get a second job or a have side hustle.

The first offer is your dream job, your passion project doing what you love, the career you've always wanted more than anything else, the job you would sell your soul to be able to have. However, you will never make enough to support yourself, and you'll be completely reliant on government assistance.

The second offer is to sit in an empty room naked Monday through Friday, eight hours a day. The only details you're given are that you are allowed to bring entertainment, and you get a break for lunch. The job pays one million dollars (or whatever the equivalent would be where you live) per month.

These are wonderful. I wish to see hundreds, parading across my space, on their way to do their own mysterious little errands.

On one hand, I appreciate clarity of language, qnd having hundreds of pronouns is... less clear. On the other hand, I live in my head, and what anyone else does that is not harmful is none of my damn business.

Neopronoun, or don't, it's your identity.

hey quick test, reblog or like this if you DONT think neopronouns are stupid im trying to prove a point to my sister and her partner

for context my sister is a binary trans lesbian dating a genderfluid lesbian and today she came up to me saying that her and her partner as two trans people have both decided neopronouns are stupid
