If you're an artist coming over from Twitter because of this bullshit they added, first of all:
Really genuinely sorry they fucked you like this & I think it's extremely reasonable to be crashing out HARD right now
Second: I'm gonna offer Bluesky tips and encourage ppl to share starter packs here

Man its like just so invasive and gross feeling to see "Edit Image" appear over other people's images. Musk decided to give us the only kind of gift he can for christmas, sickening disappointment. Best of luck out there folks.

Heads up to artists still using Twitter- Twitter is now adding an "Edit image" button under all images posted on the site that allows everyone to feed it into genAI and modify it as they wish with a prompt

For further context twitter added a button that allows users to generate ai images using existing art posts from artists. It removes glaze and it basically reskins the artwork by using the existing work as a base. Twitter is no longer a safe space for art

Users are noticing Twitter/X has added a Grok-powered AI image editor that lets anyone edit any image on the platform, including other people’s artwork using text prompts.

I love writing so much. It's so damn fun. It's cool I can just think up something and go "yeah, why not? Let's try it." I can write big epic battles. I can make up super powers and magic systems. I can build a wholeass history of a made up world. This outlet is everything to me. It's freedom.
Hating things is for chumps. Tell me about what you LOVE. And why. And what it means to you. I love hearing about people's passions. I don't give a good gotdamn about what you hate. 🖤

Important context here: when Peter Thiel and David Sacks began their war on diversity as undergrads at Stanford, thirty years ago, the very first tactic they adopted was to normalize slurs that had already been stigmatized out of mainstream society. This return of these hateful terms was a key goal.
“It turns out that banishing the slur from public discourse was, in fact, important. Because now it’s back and it turns out that it does matter when subtext becomes actual text, when terrible people enable open hatred and bigotry, encouraging others to emulate them, degrading us all.”
Perry: The return of the r-word
"These days, the r-word slur has become a staple of the American right wing, uttered with few professional or social consequences," David M. Perry writes.

I know it sounds like this super radical out there idea... but I think you should have to write it yourself 100% as a human to be nominated for an award, let alone be called a writer.
Another Nebula Awards nomination cycle is in full swing, and the addition of poetry and comics, along with the presence of LLMs in industry, required careful consideration.
Read on, and vote well!
