OP not mentioning that this was the US national anthem was leaving out some vital context (not that we wouldn't boo through our own anthem regardless lmao)

the worst part when the AI bubble inevitably pops is there's going to be a year of infinite "no one could have predicted this" think pieces and I don't think I'm going to survive my own rage about it

Being an artist trying to talk with other artists is just embarrassing. "I like your shapes and colours!" Mortifying playground shit

I've always been annoyed at the performative self-hatred a lot of artists/writers do of their own work. if you've followed me for a while, you've seen me counter-argue against it often. but I think now I want to impress it's praxis to talk about why creativity feels GOOD to do. because it does.

poorly drawn cats @poorlycatdraw.bsky.social · 2d

today marks 9 years of poorly drawn cats! 9 years of silly cats, art, and so much love. thank you for growing with me 💜

a doodle of a cat drawing bubbles from powerpuff girls, the text reads: “drawing has been in my life since… forever”

a framed poorly drawn cat, the text reads: “my dream was to have my own style, and be recognized for it!”

handwritten text: “so this is a thank you for making this dream possible”

a bday cake and the text: “next year poorly drawn cats will be 10 years old!!”

i find it in doing art and telling stories. but others find it with acting, singing, making music, playing sports, dancing, carpentry, sewing, hair styling, fashion, home organizing, painting model tool kits -- many things. whatever creative outlet speaks to you, I hope you find it and embrace it.

I can access flow states with reading and gaming and other activities, but it's not the same. accessing flow states is not the same thing as channeling one. and while I attempted it here in this thread I don't think there are words to describe how meaningful it is to find your source for that.

Final Fantasy XIV Fun Facts @ffxivxd.bsky.social · 4d

Nanamo Ul Namo's parents came from two different lives. He, a member of the royal family. She, the daughter of a modest merchant house. They met at a palace banquet--an opportunity to mix with the notables of commerce--and it was love at first sight.

Every time a director says AI is here to stay I simply decide then and there that I won't watch their movies anymore. It's really that simple.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

How do I explain to offline people that my favorite Japanese mascot said "we can only be liberated from queer oppression if we are truly seen as human" and then started wielding fireworks like a rocket launcher on the side of a mountain without sounding like I've totally lost it?

Chiitan has a dream.
I hope that one day the term LGBT will become a thing of the past.
I will continue to spread my message until we live in a world where everyone can love freely and is free from persecution and discrimination.
Until then, let's all support each other🤍

Fascists desperately want to be seen as tough and cool. Never ever ever allow this. Remind them constantly that they are little whiny baby losers forever.

my ko-fi acts as my main art account, I post literally everything there from WIPs to finished work very frequently. if you follow me for my work you are seriously missing out

I try to keep as much public as possible, I only paywall story spoiler stuff, so you can give it a follow to keep track
