Foto meme de um tipo de efeito dominó em que as peças ficam gradativamente maiores, um homem esta prestes a derrubar a peça menor onde o texto diz em inglês "learning to draw" (aprendendo a desenhar) e na peça maior no final da fileira o texto diz "everybody knowing what your fetishes are" (todo mundo descobrindo quais seus fetiches são).

love to be uncovering a long hidden child's drawing or fresco portraying a mysterious atrocity in a decrepit and abandoned manor by candlelight while furtive sounds of movement get closer and closer to my position

My life changed when I started following the advice "instead of finding a style you love, find a process you love"

Emily Hare @emilyhare.co.uk · 1d

This Ogre painting is what began my current style of painting. During my process with this guy I was so engrossed and so loved the result that I have been painting using this technique (with a few tweaks) since then (2017). This is one of the ogres from Strangehollow (first book). #art #ogre

Except here in Latin America. You see a food offering on the ground, you leave it alone. I said leave it, put that bottle back on the ground now, slowly.

In video games, you will often find a fully roasted chicken abandoned on the ground, and eating it extremely quickly makes you feel better. What's less known is that this is also true in real life

Ireland has approved plans to permanently implement a basic income program that will support up to 2,200 artists.

A cost-benefit analysis found that for every €1 invested, society receives €1.39 back.

Officials from other countries are now expressing interest in the program.

"It's innevitable."

"Adapt or die."

"Embrace it or get left behind."

"The genie is out of the bottle."

"It'll get better, just wait."

"This is the worst it will ever be."

These things are said to get you to believe/fear you don't have agency to resist, question & criticize.

Do you teach an art/illustration/animation class and want someone with industry experience to talk to your students? Email me and I'll come yell at them about how amazing they are and how it's never hopeless and also how to negotiate contracts

Easily the stupidest thing I’ve read all day.

What lies beneath the bullshit is that the AI push is about concentrating wealth into the hands of five tech companies. People aren’t part of the equation.

ANDREESSEN: Even if AI ends up destroying all the jobs, “the result would be hyper-deflation of prices, which is the thing that people miss. .. Things that today cost a lot of money will all of a sudden be cheap or free.”

That's the justification, but people should just fill a form about this and move on, why the time restrictions? Because we can't immigrate freely, but why? And why countries from the global north have asymmetrically harder visa rules against the global south? We got used to it but it's weird af.

I can think of practical reasons for borders and passports, but whenever I think about why visas exist I get to racism. It's essentially great-replacement-prevention.

One of the better lists of underseen films I've read, from @thathagengrrl.bsky.social, @siddhantadlakha.bsky.social, @rifewithkatie.bsky.social and others! Rare you see actual obscure movies on one of these, but this is about 70% things I've never watched!
