there doesn't seem to be a space to make mistakes, to be a newbie. it's one of the reasons why I think frieren fan art meme is great and important. besides the memery, it's a huge protest against it - we all MISSED seeing amateur art because we don't SEE it anymore (algorithms!)

as a certified genAI art hater, I'd like more people to think about what contributed to its rise:
for decades, we've crafted and click-approved an online landscape where there's barely any space for hobby beginners. you compete for attention hand in hand with pros from day one

I heard there was a Cohen song,
And all the Christians got it wrong,
But you don’t really get the meaning do ya?
‘Cause you see its about getting laid,
It’s sex, and love, and Jewish faith,
But all the gentiles heard was “hallelujah!”

Anyone with textured hair lmk what kind of decorative metal comb shapes (if any) are safe for your hair (whether loose or in braids/locs)?
Like do the tines need to be fully rounded to prevent any snagging/breaking?

like just checking: we all saw how artists of all calibres, many highly trained & paid professionals, openly shared their techniques/tools/advice for someone who tried something technically difficult that came out "bad" (disagree), still shared it, and now everyone can benefit from the results?

The "Frieren angle" thing, apart from just being delightful, also completely demolishes the pathetic "AI is democratising art" argument. Someone struggling with a difficult drawing received advice from hundreds of strangers who just wanted to help them improve their art.

Members of congress had said MTG acted and spoke like a normal, rational human when there were no cameras around, well before her current 'enlightenment'. She's competent, manipulative, and in no way should be welcomed into 'the tent'. She can fight with trump on her own.
