I can’t stress enough how utterly embarrassing it is to see experienced artists suddenly use AI

I can never have a shred of respect for someone who used to be a peer & who decided to embrace something that’s the opposite of any craft & any human endeavour

tenham amigos que não são santos, que tem uma relação meio rival as vezes se vc quiser, que gostam de pesar o clima quando precisa, que falam a verdade na sua cara quando é necessário, mas que tbm te acolhem, sabem pedir desculpas, estão com você quando precisa etc

eu to tão cansado dessa cultura que simplifica amizades. que descarta pessoas. que nos diz que adultos devem ser sozinhos, e encontrar uma paz nisso. que faz com que as pessoas fujam no primeiro sinal de conflito. o pior adjetivo que entrou no nosso vocabulário nos últimos cinco anos foi "tóxico"

Serious shoutout to furries for being the internet's #1 art patrons. At a time when interest in original and niche art is at an all time low and many other art spaces are gone, I appreciate you guys showing up to boost original works, buy art pieces & comms, & get vocally invested in stories & OCs.

"why make AI generated videos of ICE beating and kidnapping people when we already have a lot of real ones? you don't need to convince the left it's happening!!"

the point is to muddy the waters and give the right ammo to insist ALL the videos are/could be AI if a few of them are. #political

tbh Woody (along with emperor's new groove and almost anything with the Wayans brothers) is one of those brazilian phenomenons that points how good dialogue writting and voice acting can make or break a show

porn is not evil.
sex is not evil.
pleasure is not evil.
kink is not evil.

none of them are things to feel shame or embarrassment about.

none of them deserve the heavy-handed censorship that they're facing.

resist oppression (even if you don't partake in what is being oppressed)

a experiência média de se descobrir assexual é ver alguém falando "sou assexual, não sinto atração sexual quase nunca e sexo para mim não é uma necessidade", você ficar "ué, mas isso é o normal, TODO MUNDO é assim, " e aí te responderem "não é não" e você ficar "ei! mas pera aí... 🤔".

Needing multiple streams of income to stay afloat is a societal failure not a personal one. You should be able to afford a comfortable lifestyle with one job. You are not lazy.

It’s really hard to describe to people who are not artists how survival mode does *not* inspire creativity, as the myth would have us believe. It suppresses creativity as you try to limit every possible risk – and the opportunities that come with them.

It turns out building habits and stuff actually requires not being in survival mode, who knew?!

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

As much as folks might not want to believe it, artists who sell their work cannot survive exclusively on platforms that cater to primarily other artists. The Circulating The Same Five Dollars™️ model can't feed us or pay bills for long. We need places where we can be seen and discovered.
