For years I would constantly tweet and tweet and retweet about politics. I didn’t help a single person doing that. It just eroded my mental health a little every day. I promise that actually DOING something, even one small thing, feels a lot better than reposting a million memes.

I cannot emphasize enough the importance of finding one constructive real world offline thing you can do to use your particular skills in service of fighting fascism as a psychological defense against the constant drumbeat of fuckery

my hot take is that I don't think it's this website specifically that's toxic. the Circumstances are toxic and nobody really knows what to do about it so they come online and scream. and if I may offer an alternative: actually going outside and screaming feels better.

Art in progress, and the art of procrastination.
An oil painting in progress. An old, dark, square Victorian house at night, with the front door open, and light streaming out down the street. From behind, the yellow light cast from a sodium streetlight contrasts with the greys and blues in the rest of the image. A doodle on a scrap piece of paper, that includes a reminder note at the top, and the legend "Once upon a time there were 3 bears. 1, 2, 3" with heads of 3 consecutively shorter bears below. These 3 pop up a lot during meetings and when I am trying to make myself get on with things.

I made these for a small friend for Xmas. She enjoys feeding her neighbour's little cat when they are away.
A small pair of knitted mittens, in red wool. The left one has a black cats face, with whiskers, on the back of it. The right one has three dreamies (small square cat biscuit treats) stitched in the palm.

I did some painting! This is the centre of a wreath I'm making at the weekend from recycled silver paper (the kind posh takeway food arrives in) I thought the wreath could be like a porthole/portal that you could see through to somewhere else.

Wreath photos to follow

Copy of a painting of a winter sunset by Joseph Farquharson. The snow is pinky orange with lilac shadows. The original Farquharson picture is in the foreground in front of my copy. It is a drinks coaster with his painting on it.

Narrator: They had not mitigated the serious mental health issues.

Oh good, ChatGPT is getting "erotica for verified adults" later this year
We made ChatGPT pretty restrictive to make sure we were being careful with mental health issues. We realize this made it less useful/enjoyable to many users who had no mental health problems, but given the seriousness of the issue we wanted to get this right. Now that we have been able to mitigate the serious mental health issues and have new tools, we are going to be able to safely relax the restrictions in most cases. In a few weeks, we plan to put out a new version of ChatGPT that allows people to have a personality that behaves more like what people liked about 4o (we hope it will be better!). If you want your ChatGPT to respond in a very human-like way, or use a ton of emoji, or act like a friend, ChatGPT should do it (but only if you want it, not because we are usage-maxxing). In December, as we roll out age-gating more fully and as part of our “treat adult users like adults” principle, we will allow even more, like erotica for verified adults.

A very good girl!
#PencilDrawing #Dog
A pencil drawing from the side of the head and front paws of a Beddie Whippet, dark eyes and starburst fur from nose and head. Two pencil drawings of a beddie whippet on a couch, slightly above and on the right of her. One with head down looking resigned. One with head up and front paws neatly in front of her.

Moderate success in the printing. It's more about the print technique now. I don't think the plates need any more action. #mezzotint

2 Copper mezzotint plates. I'm ready to test print. The plates are exciting when first worked - lots of nice highlights.

I'd like a pound of tomatoes please
My black and white cat is on a shelf outside my kitchen window, looking in. On the window ledge are lots of tomatoes, ripening.

My first Bsky post: The latest portrait of my housemate, Margaux. She's a black and white cat. Her head is Batman's mask. Her chest is Superman's triangle. Her wrists are Wonderwoman's cuffs. Adopting her is the best thing I've ever done, and she's a great cat.
My black and white cat, asleep on my knee, with her head resting winsomely on her paw, and her eyes tightly shut.
