came here to compile these drawings and was like “oh damn i thought I had more than Three” that is because like every piece of the last image was originally thought up as stand alone pieces

anyway congratulations to a minecraft unfiction for getting me to draw something for myself again and also for being the only media that’s gotten me to be like actually interested in the king in yellow. i watched a nine hour partial reading/analysis on the original book. because of a forty two minute long minecraft unfiction. and i think that’s awesome

another banger imo. recognition of the self in the other (derogatory) the game

ANIMAL is a new independent literary magazine devoted to featuring works by individuals with animal identities, including furries and animal-identifying alterhumans. We are seeking literature and art from individuals who identify with or as an animal in any capacity, be it through gender, spirituality, or/and another one of the many ways one can be animal. As a catch-all for such communities, we use the phrase furry&alterhuman, with a non-spaced ampersand to represent animals who exist around, between, and in both communities.

Our mission is to build a community founded on the celebration of animal-made literary works. Through this project we hope that we can further understanding and respect for our communities.

ANIMAL is based on Substack at animalmagazine.substack.com. Take a look at our website to find submission information and to learn more about us.

Sampling rights becoming prohibitively expensive to use by small artists

Musicians being forced to sign over sampling rights to their record company, making any benefits they would hypothetically gain moot.

The Digital Milennium Copyright Act leading to the vidmaker-stomping nightmare that is ContentID

The DMCA leading to making it harder than ever to preserve media due to the way it prohibits tinkering with any locks the megacorps put on it, meaning it's way easier for artists' hard work to end up vaulted and lost.

The way basic chord progressions and musical styles have become copyrightable thanks to various lawsuits by the Marvin Gaye estate

The fact that the artists of the past used to be able to remix; adapt and iterate on art made within 56 years of them, likely created in their lifetimes, and now artists can only do those things with art produced nearly a century ago by people long dead.

New and independent artists being crowded out of the market by megacorp-owned IPs that would be public domain (and thusly convey less of an overwhelming advantage-via-marquee-value to megacorps) if the US had its pre-1976 copyright laws.

Times That Copyright Expansion Has Actually Materially Helped Artists On An Institutional Level:

It's black history month in the UK, but no child I know of has been taught about black queer history.

So join me in learning about it.

Learn about Pearl Alcock who set up the only gay bar in brixton at the time as a refuge for black gay men.

Ted Brown one of the organisers of the first UK pride rallys in 1974

Justin Fashanu the first openly gay footballer in 1990.

The fact that the UK GLF was inspired by the black panthers revolutionary convention in 1970.

Or Ivor Cummings "the gay father of the windrush generation"
