    I made this this morning because I figure what’s the point in railing against your oppressors if you’re notnwilling to turn their own symbols against them???

    An image of a flag with a central black square featuring a coiled rattlesnake in vibrant LGBT rainbow colors. The snake is detailed with bold rainbow scales and accompanied by the text "Don’t tread on us" in bright, bold lettering below. Surrounding the central square are symmetrical patterns of hearts, stars, and triangles, filled with the colors of the progressive LGBT flag: black, brown, pink, light blue, white, and the traditional rainbow hues. The background of the flag is black, creating a striking contrast that emphasizes the vibrant colors and celebratory design.

    You couldn’t say the G word in the ‘70’s…

    A vibrant illustration featuring Changeling, a green humanoid figure with wings and yellow eyes, leading a lively crowd in singing a playful parody of “YMCA.” Changeling is mid-gesture, radiating energy and excitement, while the diverse crowd behind them joyfully joins in. Above them, the lyrics “It’s fun to stay at the Y, M, C, A. Because you now know this song is not” are displayed in bold, colorful text. The phrase is humorously followed by a censoring symbol and a visualized “bleep!” effect. The scene is set against a festive background with colorful lights, confetti, and a celebratory atmosphere.

    Listening to Macbreak Weekly and Alex Lyndsay is talking about how the next generation of artists will be people who know how to use generative AI tools to get exactly what they want from images based on their mastery of the models. I’m like, Sing it louder for the people in the back, Alex!

    💻 One of the under reported new apple features, perhaps because Macs aren’t the press magnets of Apple, is iPhone mirroring. So handy to keep up with notifications on my phone without having to switch devices.

    🐲🧞🏳️‍🌈 I’ve experienced a lot of personal growth in this area of my life, and I’m not having it taken away without fighting for it. #LGBTQPeopleAreNotGoingBack

    <img src=“https://starshipchangeling.net/uploads/2024/e45e53a7e4.png" width=“600” height=“600” alt=“The image is a powerful black and white illustration symbolizing the unwavering determination of the LGBTQIA+ community to move forward and not regress. It features six silhouetted figures holding hands, walking confidently down a road towards a large sun on the horizon, symbolizing hope and progress. The road is lined with barren, twisted trees and streetlights, and the figures cast long shadows towards the viewer. Prominently displayed are broken chains across the road, representing the breaking of barriers and oppression. The bold text reads: “LGBTQ++ PEOPLE ARE PEOPLE ARE NOT GO BACK,” emphasizing the message of resilience and the refusal to return to past injustices. This image is part of a movement on December 23, 2024, urging those with a platform to amplify the message that LGBTQIA+ people are steadfast in their journey towards equality and will not go back.">

    I decided to take advantage of my new AI skills to update this bit of fan art from last year.

    A vibrant cosmic scene showing a dragon-shaped starship piloted by two distinct characters: Changeling, a green dragon with purple wings, and Alex, a fluffy white cat with an expressive face. Changeling is seated in the cockpit, confidently managing futuristic controls, while Alex, sitting beside, appears whimsical yet focused. In the passenger area, the characters from “The Big Bang Theory”—Sheldon, Leonard, Penny, Howard, and Raj—are seated, interacting and looking in awe at the fantastical surroundings. The background features a vivid cosmic landscape with colorful stars, nebulae, and planets, enhancing the adventurous and otherworldly theme.

    🧞🐲 I always wanted !to make a Saturday morning cartoon!

    “Changeling relaxes in a cozy rocking chair, eating a bowl of cereal shaped like miniature Changelings, while watching a vibrant Saturday morning cartoon featuring another Changeling on the TV. A speech bubble declares, ‘Media representation is a proud sponsor of this nutritious breakfast! MMMM!’ The scene exudes a playful, meta vibe, blending nostalgia, self-awareness, and layers of representation.”

    The rest of them were just there to get me through those doors…

    The image is a colorful and surreal illustration depicting a scene that seems to be a playful take on a Black Friday sale. In the center, there is a green creature with bat-like wings, wearing a vibrant outfit with a purple ruffled collar and striped pants. The creature is smiling widely, with large round glasses and a playful pose. Surrounding the creature are numerous plush teddy bears and dolls, all in various pastel colors like pink, blue, and brown. The background features a storefront with mannequins dressed in red jackets, and signs that read "Black Friday." Above the scene, a bright neon sign says "CONGRATULATIONS!

    😸 Changeling used to sing to me when I was small because I was rescued from a kill shelter and scared much of the time. Now, any human who wants to be my friend had better sing Mary Had a little lamb, or I will never trust them.
