Oof I don’t love that they removed “negative” values for font editing. Now if I want letters/words to be closer together than they naturally are I’m gonna have to rasterize and move by hand? Boo!

I love that you can finally organize your procreate brushes into separate libraries, but the process of actually doing that to the bajillion brushes you’ve made/hoarded over the years…

Damned to love once

Digital painting of two women walking past each other without looking at one another. Behind them is a statue of a girl with closed eyes covered by sweeping veils of fabric. The scene is lit by the glow of a cold red sky seen through a broken window.

Going for a walk in the neighborhood and seeing everyone’s Halloween decorations really does warm my little gremlin heart. I love this time of year.

A screenshot from Zelda Williams' instagram stories. It reads:

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. Its dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough', just so other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

The second Instagram stories screenshot from Zelda Williams. It reads:

"And for the love of EVERY THING, stop calling it 'the future'. AI is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume."
