Meme from Star Wars Attack of the Clones showing Obi-Wan drinking at a bar being approached by someone, the exchange is as follows

"You wanna see some AI garbage?"
"You don't want to show me AI garbage"
"I don't want to show you AI garbage"
"You want to to home and rethink your life"
"I want to go home and rethink my life"

Maybe I’m speaking out of line here (that’s heavy sarcasm by the way) but individuals with Autism aren’t pawns to be used in political games and shouldn’t continue to be further stigmatized for an agenda.

Which is exactly what is happening here.

I think it is important to note that there’s nothing wrong with having a different neurotype, such as Autism (ASD), ADHD, etc. Pathologizing someone with Autism potentially exacerbates existing harms they’re likely already struggling with. It leads to harmful labeling and stigma.

Just a reminder before the “big announcement” today.

Autism was discovered in 1911 and the modern definition of Autism came in 1943.

Tylenol wasn’t widely used until the 1950s.

Anyone trying to tell you that Tylenol causes Autism isn’t someone that should be taken seriously.

Version 1 of my website is done!
It has some of my projects, portfolio, comics, and other stuff too lengthy to post here.
I’ve never made a website before so there may be some bugs. It doesn’t look 100% what I envisioned but I tried 🥲

My lizardfolk fighter monk named “Bites-Your-Face,” in Argonian dialect

He was once a gladiator, favored by many fans, but was banned for playing too dirty... you can guess why. Now he goes on quests to make a living and fill his appetite.

He found an electric bear trap and sometimes uses it

Concept pages for my story!

A dragonborn and robot walk into a mech/weaponsmith resembling a two-headed cow. The weaponsmiths are brothers, they’re a two-headed cow.

Weaponsmith #2: “hey Liv! Welcome ba—“

Liv, the Dragonborn, slams a sword in a stone on the counter, to the shock of the weaponsmiths. Liv struggles to catch her breath.

Liv: “Sword stuck in *huff huff* STUPID MAGIC ROCK…!! *huff huff* Use whatever tools ya got, bros! I need itttttttt!!!!”

“Wh-we’ll do our best!” Both weaponsmiths reply

Behind Liv, she doesn’t notice that others enter the weaponsmith.

A pistol is shoved against her, Liv makes an “IRK!” Sound in shock.

“Oblivion! ‘Dutchess of Destruction!’ ‘Queen of Chaos!’” A robotic voice calls out from behind her, more robotic than her companion.

It’s a group of bounty hunters, threatening Liv
“Cornered like an EYELESS GNOME! Thanks for makin’ this easy on me, DAMNED LIZARD!” The robotic bounty hunter continues.

His head is wide like a hammerhead shark, emotionless. He has 3 robotic arms, 4 legs, and has a ripped plain brown cloak-poncho thing draped over him.

The POV is switched to the bounty hunter threatening LIV.

Liv: “hmph… cornered…” Liv says as the bounty hunter’s gun begins to turn red hot and melt

“Me?” She continues. Now the bounty hunter’s robotic hand is white hot with the gun melted into it. Liv turns to facd the bounty hunter, her eyes glowing and heat radiating off of her.

“Oh-“ the bounty hunter replies

Liv quickly grabs the sword in the stone behind her and slams it into the ground, knocking the bounty hunter to the ground and cutting off the rest of its now melted hand. The sword breaks free from the stone from the collision.

Liv now stands before the group of bounty hunters, her new Greatsword glowing and emminating heat.

“The tales are true…” The fallen robot bounty hunter whispers.
Another fires a shot at Liv out of fead and misses.
The last one falls to the ground. “Mutant FREAK!!” He shouts.

Liv now faces them armed, eyes glowing and snarling her teeth. “Hehehehehe… what’s that, Livscalibur? The word of the day is… smite..?”

Liv’s robot friend stands next to her armed with two laser pistols.
“Pack it up, fellas! She WILL smite you to uh- Oblivion!”
The robot’s other eye looks at Liv in concern. “Pssst- Liv! Don’t overheat!” He whispers

I know I won’t stop making art. I can’t imagine myself not drawing. I encourage all artists not to get discouraged.

lmthespacecreature.bsky.social @lmthespacecreature.bsky.social · May 22

I was hoping genAI would fade away like NFTs. It infuriates me that it’s still allowed to steal art and turn it into soulless slop while destroying the environment. I hope folks will keep pushing back against slop in favor of actual art.
