Hey artists!! Your art deserves protection.

Glaze = style camouflage

Nightshade = silent sabotage

Together, they mess up AI training.

Use them. Share smart.

I love being a human artist and creating something never before seen, out of my mind’s eye. I love making every decision with care. I love trying and failing. I love noticing mistakes and fixing them. I love it all.

Musk is trying to buy votes in Wisconsin. Resend this if you’re from Wisconsin and you’re not for sale.

The Agriculture Department has axed two programs that gave schools and food banks money to buy food from nearby farms and ranchers. Roughly $660 million that schools and child care facilities were counting on to purchase food has been canceled.

This will hurt both kids and small, local farmers.

Texas is out here banning books, gutting reproductive rights, letting measles make a comeback — and their Lt.

My only criticism of George Orwell’s 1984 is that it wasn’t titled 2025.

If you are a parent looking for illustrations for a kids book you want to make for your kid, I assure you the crudest looking doodle you draw will be a million times better and more memorable than trying to get chat gpt to make you some soulless pixar-lite slurry
