Hey everyone!

Quick heads-up I should’ve shared sooner: when you post artwork online, always credit the artist. There’s a lot of art theft and uncredited AI stuff floating around, and as your moderator, I want to keep our community clean of any of that.

Oh, and for those asking—I’ve moved my Mastodon account to tootworld.social and just started on Bluesky, too. I’ll be sharing on both, so feel free to follow me wherever you like!

A special shoutout to The New York Review of Books which has just started using the Fediverse:

➡️ @nybooks

The NYRB is a celebrated magazine on literature, politics, arts, ideas & current events.

They've just started posting, so their profile may look blank to your server. Follow them and their posts will start showing up on your server too 🙂

(By the way, NYRB has no connection to the New York Times Book Review, they just have similar names.)

Praxis, the artists' union, has written to Minister Patrick O'Donovan calling for protections for artists' livelihoods, funding stability and a transparent review process. We need your voice to make sure that no artist or arts worker is put at risk.

(Oh, and to the people who just couldn’t bring themselves to vote for the smart Black lady with the infectious laugh bc *reasons* … well, fuck you too.)
