Commissions Open Indefinitely

Hey! So, I'm open for commissions again, with no definitive date for closing. Truth be told, I'm in rough waters financially, and I've been stuck on the job hunt with no fruit for a few months. Any commissions at all would really help, no matter how small! The link for my commission form, including prices, examples, and submissions, is below (Explicit Content Warning): https://forms.gle/A7FgoHnkJd2a9oVH9 As for the future, I'm still applying to jobs to get stable income, and I'm hoping to save up to establish an e-shop to sell 3D printed figurines and trinkets to better exercise my 3D modeling skills. I'm also considering setting up an itch.io to sell the homebrew TTRPG stuff I write, which is a mix of Lancer RPG homebrews, 5e homebrews, and original TTRPG systems, so if you're interested in that sorta stuff let me know.

Hey do y’all remember when Boeing fucking killed a guy last year. And we all said “huh I guess Boeing fucking killed a guy” and then went on with our lives. And everybody knew that Boeing had fully just fucking executed a guy and nothing came of it. Like there was no police investigation no justice no nothing. Like literally EVERYBODY knew that Boeing had full on murdered a guy to silence him and there wasn’t any consequences for them. Kinda crazy.

Important addition

[unichrome]

The higgs boson discovery was made possible by AI sifting through data that was estimated to take humans 500 years to go through and with less accuracy.

AI/ML is a tool like any other. It's not a miracle fix for everything, just like how it isn't an evil entity

[fieldbears]

Getting my big font because I've said this before and I'm getting angy about it:

You need to stop saying "AI" when you mean "generative AI".

You need to stop inferring "generative AI" when you just see "AI".

You are throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

god i wish we were as nice to bimbos as we are to himbos because i would love to pose that the female version of kronk (ie the character that distills every bimbo quality down to perfection) is ms. ulala spacechannel5 but we aren't ready for someone to point out that the secret ingredient between both of them is hyper competence lest all the useless gays with "himbo" in their bio get mad that someone might expect them to do the laundry instead of laying there all sexy misunderstanding simple things and smoking weed

[annelidarchive]

i keep meeting transfems whose personalities are like, gaping wounds. girls who've been stomped on over and over until they start thinking they're uniquely evil and they deserve it. people shouldn't be allowed to treat us like this.

[krissytransmom]

It hurts to see people I care about think they deserve to be mistreated.

[highfiverandom]

This is making me cry

Thank you for including those tags. I need to save that and post it on a few discords every once in a while

[queerautism]

Puritanism is getting worse around the globe and conservatives and fascists will absolutely be first going harder against porn, then use that against queer people. You HAVE to realise this and oppose anti porn measures and laws, be in solidarity with sex workers, and listen to them when they call this shit out. It's going to be vitally important.

[bundibird]

Reminder that keeping porn legal means that pornstars have legal protections that they will lose if porn is made illegal. Reminder that keeping porn legal means there are legal standards that can be put in place and enforced which results in better safety for all who are involved in porn's creation.

Reminder that porn will never stop being a thing. It just won't. If it's made illegal, then it will continue to be created and distributed - its just that it will now be done under the table, and with no safety regulations or protections for anyone.

Yes, the hard-right's ultimate plan is to use porn as a gateway from which to attack queer people, but even if that wasn't their plan, you should want to protect the legality of porn anyway.

Keeping porn legal means that the chances of sexual assault on those who work in the industry are reduced, and means that victims of assault are able to pursue legal action against their attackers. Keeping porn legal means that human trafficking is decreased, and it gives victims of human trafficking a legally supported escape route that would be lost if porn were made illegal.

Keeping porn legal means that anyone who is involved in making it - regardless of whether theyre making it simply because they want to, or because they're financially desperate -- is granted a measure of protection that they otherwise would not be. People love to raise the "but porn is made by desperate people who sell their body to survive," but a) some people make porn because they like it, and b) someone who is desperate enough to sell their body will do so regardless of whether it's legal or not. But when it's legal, that desperate person has far more protections and is less likely to be taken advantage of than when it's illegal.

Keeping porn legal protects people. Making it illegal will harm people. It's that simple.

[painkillerscoffeeandcathair]

"But it's demeaning!"

That's a you problem. No, really - it's your opinion is that sex work is demeaning, but I've had some really demeaning jobs that were legal and "proper". Just because a job involves sex doesn't mean it has less value than being a salesperson, or an accountant.

[rosenundraben]

To quote the great John Waters.

[patricia-taxxon]

genuinely insane how little u have to work to experience misogyny as a transfem

[patricia-taxxon]

my endo is threatening to become useless because I gained 12 pounds and our meetings can't leave the subject of skinnying me urgently, ive gotten sexually harassed in public when I put no effort into appearing feminine, people misunderstand me on purpose online and I'm accused of making things up for sympathy constantly

[patricia-taxxon]

your theory of transphobia has to be cognizant of the fact that transphobes treat trans women like women

[transfem-juice]

I think about this quote all the time since I first heard it

[lore-gore]

Hey so apparently the Trump administration is trying to include Natives in his unconstitutional birthright citizenship end order. They haven't been non citizens since 1924. He trying to fucking reverse the Snyder Act.

A lot, if not all, of his plans impact natives in some way. Remember to keep advocating for native rights.

[frogprincesnowglobe]

Here is an article from the Associated Press that discusses this. Another from Yahoo! News.

It's always good to remember that these kind of executive orders will have absolute mountains to climb.

On top of it how are they going to define a Native? Some tribes do blood quantum, and some people aren't even enrolled in their tribe.

On top of it, according to the Bureau of Indian Affairs there are currently 574 federally recognized tribes. That's so many people, not to mention according to this article from the Muwekma Ohlone tribe (not my tribe), over 400 *not* federally recognized tribes. How would they go about sorting out citizenship for those people? Would they just deal with registered members?

Would my grandmother be Native enough to count but not me?

I don't normally talk lots of politics on here but these assholes are throwing everything at everyone all at once to keep us scared and worried. Keep your eyes open, but not so open you get blinded by the sun.

[pallettown]

genuinely so scary that you can't access the page on the ssc website that guides you through changing your sex designation. so so fucking scary. they are already making our lives harder. they are already taking what little resources we have.

[pallettown]

update on this, if people want to reblog this to spread information to any trans person who is getting their gender marker changed with social security after the executive order:

today i went and was able to change my gender marker along with my name with social security. even though the page that guides you has been taken down you are STILL ABLE to do so. here is a link to the way back machine for the page and here is a link to the form you will need and here is another source that can help you prepare for federal crackdowns

don't be deterred by the removal of the page. there is still time, but possibly not a lot of it. if you can do this fast, do it.

it's worth noting that it's FREE to change your gender marker with social security. when you change your gender marker with social security, what you change it to does NOT have to match your other current IDs.

double check your state policies, and what you will personally need, but the overall message of this post is that there is STILL TIME despite the executive order. don't give up hope.

It's always so weird that like. Fully a third of job listings I see in machine learning are for biomedical research. And easily two thirds of postdocs. Massive, huge family of applications that seems completely absent from the public discourse. From the way people talk about it you'd think half the field works in image generation and nobody does medical research, but in reality only a tiny handful of people seem to be doing image generation, and everyone else is either doing language models or studying cancer and designing novel drugs

[machine-unlearning]

Maybe this is me thinking "biology is second nature to us biology researchers" but I get really frustrated with how the attention on AI surrounds human-imitating AIs. AlphaFold2 solved* a decades-long problem in biochemistry and got a Nobel prize, but the news covers that less than OpenAI ownership. AI seems on the edge of upending radiology, and this site's "Is AI bad?" discourse doesn't give even a passing mention to medical applications. If it doesn't try to pass the Turing test, the average person doesn't care about it.

[jadeharleyinc]

the fact we can train a machine to make vaguely human-like decisions to solve problems like "make a new type of magnet that doesn't use rare-earth metals" is incredible. the discourse being limited to "well, i hate it when it the problem being solved is 'write' or 'draw a picture'. it should be washing my dishes" makes me sad.

Have politicians and oligarchs always been this fucking pathetic, or is this new? It's hard to take evil people seriously when they act like this, and I'm 99% sure that's why they do it. It's performative, it gives them plausible deniability, "they're not evil, they're just stupid." They're underestimated and downplayed, just another distraction.
