The Trump administration is cynically exploiting calls for stricter AI regulation to pass broad censorship measures at the federal level.
So, in terrible news, Trump's trying to pull some strings to pass this massive internet censorship bill, featuring all the kinds of internet censorship we're terrified of, including mandatory ID for accessing basically any website, specifically to crush state regulation of AI, because apparently this man will always see the moral bottom of the barrel and start digging.
So, if you live in the US and hate censorship and AI you know what to do, contact your congresspeople and tell them do not fucking dare let this through or so help us god...

While I understand the desire to make Big Art entirely and viscerally I think it's worth considering that small art often leaves an outsized impact on its audience. Short stories, teensy indie games, short films, sketches on scrap paper, carved or sculpted figures that would fit in the palm of your hand, etc. etc. are all things that, when they hit your psyche at just the right angle, can stay lodged in there forever specifically because they are small. It is not necessary for a thing to be sprawling for it to have impact.

Maybe -- just MAYBE -- don't spit on other characters and ships and works when the artist you congratulate and reblog from also draws those?
FANDOM ETIQUETTE NEEDS A RETURN SOOOO STRONGLY
"Creatives deserve to be paid" and "We desperately need community spaces for creatives that aren't focused on trying to make money or advance careers where we're allowed to make connections and experiment" are two statements that can and should coexist.
Not that anybody asked, but I think it's important to understand how shame and guilt actually work before you try to use it for good.
It's a necessary emotion. There are reasons we have it. It makes everything so. much. worse. when you use it wrong.
Shame and guilt are DE-motivators. They are meant to stop behavior, not promote it. You cannot, ever, in any meaningful way, guilt someone into doing good. You can only shame them into not doing bad.
Let's say you're a parent and your kid is having issues.
Swearing in class? Shame could work. You want them to stop it. Keep it in proportion*, and it might help. *(KEEP IT IN PROPORTION!!!)
Not doing their homework? NO! STOP! NO NOT DO THAT! EVER! EVER! EVER! You want them to start to do their homework. Shaming them will have to opposite effect! You have demotivated them! They will double down on NOT doing it. Not because they are being oppositional, but because that's what shame does!
You can't guilt people into building better habits, being more successful, or getting more involved. That requires encouragement. You need to motivate for that stuff!
If you want it in a simple phrase:
You can shame someone out of being a bad person, but you can't shame them into being a good person.
Fun fact, that was literally what inspired me to make this post!
Okay, question about writing!
(feel free to dm me if it's better/if you're up for a longer conversation about the topic)
Basically, my writing is very... simplistic and bare-bones. Just a lot of 'A does B and feels C in this moment' type stuff. I'd very much like to move away from just that and get into writing more impactful, evocative, deep and complex things like you do for HFTH.
How in the HELL do I even start learning to do something like that?
I started from a place of writing an overly complicated metaphor for every single piece of description, and am always trying to get more simplistic and bare-bones! But some of my most fun challenges in writing HFTH come from trying to play a game. I like repetitions of three, or certain characters having a signature piece of opening or description that comes up again at important moments. I like an opening sentence that immediately raises an internal question in the audience. "Diggory Graves knew three things," immediately causes the audience to ask, "what are those three things?" and then they're listening for another 45 seconds.
Play some games! Write a story where every paragraph begins with a new time of the day, or a single adjective, or a color. When you introduce a character, tell us the three most important things we need to know about them. Put a perspective in a story someplace it wouldn't usually be (the spoon in the hand of your main character rather than the main character themself). Breaking the rules can lead to some fun places! As a side note, I'm always trying to get further away from telling the audience that character A feels C in this moment. As Bryan Cranston once said, "If a character cries, the audience doesn't have to... but if a character tries not to cry, that's when the audience will." In a similar way, I feel like when I write 'Character A feels angry about the situation', it's easy for the audience to not care at all what Character A feels. I typically try to tell us instead that Character A's head feels hot, like her forehead is burning and her ears hold so much pressure they might explode, that she clenches her fists so hard that her nails leave deep marks in her palms, that she grits her teeth and says thank you to the person she's talking to even though she really wants to put her elbow straight into their nose. And all those things are telling you that she's angry without saying it directly, which I feel is much more relatable for all the angry people of the world.
For my four mutual that like and reblog my posts, I love you guys have a great week.

happy fourth of july to the philippines ONLY

hi, filipino here. just want to say that our independence day is june 12, not july 4. july 4 is when the united states government decided that they would recognize our freedom, specifically because it is your independence day and they wanted to cement their cultural hegemony over our country. and because of their influence on our country this was recognized for a time as our independence day. we still commemorate it, but i hope you can understand why we don’t want our independence day to be associated so closely with our former colonizer. it wasn’t even a work holiday for us.
june 12 is the day that we filipinos declared our own independence for ourselves, and that is what we celebrate as independence day
