it is a positive that I can have a scroll and actually see everything the people I follow and are interested in posted, and then call it a day and go do else with my life.
Tbh the “Bluesky is so boring” discussion made me realize that - even though most people complain about modern social media being awful - they’re too addicted to actually use anything self-driven
Having an algorithm influence your interests & lock you into scrolling for hours ISN’T A GOOD THING 💔

I have two creatives inside me: the one who wants to keep things secret until it's ready to be shared, and the other constantly craving to spoil everything about it before I even start working on it

Hey, artists remember this:
No matter how many pieces you made this year you're an artist, even if you only made 1.
If you are super active or if you only have time / energy to pop up once in a while, no matter how big or small, you are still part of the art community 🙌
I love u artists

yes, this is why when you see actual artist time lapses (not ones where someone just hides the AI image they're tracing) there is a ton of time spent just on figuring out the blocking and fixing problems on a structural level. Slop is slop because it is noise without problem solving
Just a thing about this: a common statement in writing is that you can fix crap, but you can't fix a blank page.
I have heard AI apologists claim that this is why it's fine to generate a first draft.
Now, to be clear, fuck this.
But also: an AI draft is a fucking blank page.

I know I don’t talk about writing much. It is because I am writing so slowly.
But I want you to know that I am taking a part of this story that absolutely sucked and took me months to produce four of the worst chapters I have ever written and in the edit I figured out how to fix it.

I want 2026 to be the year where we collectively stop rewarding negativity. Stop bringing others down to bring yourself up. Stop bringing attention to genuinely awful people. Stop ignoring people bringing positive changes to the world. We need more kindness and empathy. I’m dead serious

Some of you have forgotten that only three years ago you were perfectly capable of writing a text, writing an email, telling a bedtime story to a child, and it should worry you that powerful companies have convinced us we can’t do things we’ve been doing since the dawn of time.

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

Why is this advice always aimed at children avoiding their parents, and never at older people belligerently and inevitably regurgitating Facebook opinions so offensive their own kids would rather skip Christmas dinner than endure them?
Yeah, no thanks.
Stop guilting people about being estranged from family members. It someone is they likely have personal reasons for being so.

Apparently Paypal is now asking those who commissioned artists through invoices for feedback on the experience, Please never type anything, Its a trap. Just putting both yours and their accounts at risk of bans.

A sign that you could benefit from a mobility aid that a lot of people miss; Furniture walking. If you, as you walk through your home, find yourself unconsciously (or consciously) touching furniture, walls etc, this is a sign that you may need support to walk!

I think this is a really important point. When folks say "no AI" they often don’t mean "I can conceive of no possible use for AI"—they mean "the use cases I’ve been shown do not begin to justify the harms"—that’s not something you respond to by offering another narrow use case
So when I say there is *zero* utility for LLMs, I don't mean there are zero use cases. I mean there are zero use cases that even begin to make up for the damage that's being done.
