The Transfeminine Review @thetransfemininereview.com · 7d

Read bad art. Write bad art. Critique bad art.

Here’s a statement that might be radical in 2025: ‘bad art’ is still art, not content or slop. “But what about AI?” What about it? It demands that we interrogate the definition of art itself, and therefore here is mine: art is a practice, not a product.

Art is not something we consume. Art is something we do.

Artificially-generated ‘art’ does not fall beyond the purview of our definition of art because it lacks aesthetic merit. It has nothing to do with aesthetics. AI ‘art’ is not art because it is not something that the ‘artist’ has done.

Dr. Jane Goodall was a remarkable individual – as a scientist, as an advocate for wildlife and wild places, and as a source of profound hope for the future of our planet. She brought such a joyful spirit and unfailing optimism to her work. #inspiration #hope #wildlife #conservation

Two white-haired women stand outdoors facing each other in conversation. The woman to the left is shorter. In the background are the concrete buildings of Monterey Bay Aquarium and a distant view of the ocean.

Anyway, here’s your form of consent, Bluesky.

Meme from Parks and Recreation of Ron handing a paper to an officer and saying “Not to worry. I have a permit.”

Followed by a closeup image of the paper being held by the officer, edited to read:

“Every fictional character I’ve drawn and will draw having sex, has consented to being drawn that way. They told me themselves.”

I just wish Nemu got to affect the plot more, plus she has such limited screen time (But the show did just start so I will give the benefit of doubt)

Zeztz ep 3 had so much good stuff in it, like the tension and build up to that final fight…Baku I love you

Nen 🎨 does art (comms open) @nenthepigeon.bsky.social · 18d

I already said it, but I will say it again - we need better MODERATION tools, not censorship guidelines. Automod is still incorrectly flagging art as explicit content when too much skin is showing or it represents LGBTQ+ community. We should be given more labels to what we post, not this.

so it needs to be taken seriously

passage

first part of a short comic of asriel and chara. asriel enters through the doorway into the ruins’ room where the golden flowers grow, and calls “Chara?” we then see chara turned away from asriel, their arms full of flowers. asriel nervously says “Chara, it…. It wasn’t your fault.” without turning to look, chara says back “The Asriel I knew….” they pick a single flower and smile absently. “….wasn't a liar.”

the comic continues. taken aback, asriel reevaluates. “Fine. Okay. It was your fault. But-“ Chara continues to pick flowers. Asriel looks down, then starts again with more conviction. “It wasn’t your fault, and, I love you.” Chara finally turns around, shocked. in the final panel we now see only flowey speaking to the empty air. he repeats “It was your fault, and I love you.”
