The idea of the IDF using royalty free assets (meant to help artists build out scenes for concept art etc) for genocide is so sickening.

We traced over 30 unique assets to Washington-based 3D creator Ian Hubert, who makes bespoke models created for his sci-fi project Dynamo Dream, available to his Patreon subscribers.

Scans of parking lots, antennas, and pipes were repurposed as Hamas and Iranian military sites

and I somehow apparently follow like zero people who are in charge of bluesky so I have no idea if they are malicious or incompetent.

but since I play Malicious or Incompetent constantly in publishing, I know the answer: when you're fuckin' with people's livelihood, incompetence is malicious.

joining the long storied history of people learning a bunch of shit about international finance against their will when they're just trying to order tulip bulbs

Order Summary
6% Tariff Surcharge *
A general 10% tariff was imposed on all European exports to the US, with a higher 20% tariff delayed for 90 days. These tariffs apply to Dutch flower bulbs. Our published pricing does not include the tariffs. We have added a nominal 6% surcharge on the Product Subtotal of each order. (This does not affect the Shipping Charge but is included in the Sales Tax computation.) If the tariff is rescinded prior to our containers sailing from Rotterdam, we will remove the surcharge from orders. If you paid by check, we would send you a refund check. We do not charge credit cards until orders are prepared for fall shipment so the surcharge would be removed prior to payment. We appreciate your understanding.
6% Tariff Surcharge $1.28

Are they just like… mad we’re here? The servers cost too much so now they’re trying to make us stop using the site? Insurance fraud???

When your social media platform is best known and liked for its blocking options…

Maybe preventing users from using them is bad? Maybe?

Celeste dos Cravos (2025), acrylic gouache (+ tiny bit of watercolour) on hot pressed paper (A3)

The traditional version of the illustration I painted digitally last year, now as I had first envisioned it :)

Illustration by Eleonor Piteira featuring a woman on a balcony, holding a bouquet of red carnations, giving one of them to a soldier passing below, placing it on the muzzle of his gun while he looks up at her. All around, other soldiers walk beside him, some wearing red carnations on the muzzles of their guns too, others waiting for their turn to get one. On the background, Portuguese tiles frame the woman, while the balcony's railing slowly transforms into a streetlamp typical of Lisbon (with a caravel and 2 ravens, the symbols of the city).

Golden Embers - watercolour and digital, 2015 (I think?)

It's been a long time since I posted this vengeful queen. Back when my style was a little more abstract and weird.

A queen with a RBF stands with her hands on a sword's hilt. Her skirt is an abstract view into a kingdom on fire.

Thinking about how almost every small business I've worked for was owned by people who couldn't be bothered to do any of the work or deal with consequences themselves, and how every larger business I've worked for was owned by people who were actively trying to pivot away from what it was good at

Yup. This. Alllllllllll of this thread.

I have loathed and railed against book piracy for years, and I hold people who use GenAI in the same contempt. It is theft & exploitation of creative laborers. There is no excuse.

This Anthropic settlement case…fellow authors, are any of you feeling rage? I have 12 books listed and money (I don’t CARE how many thousands, even millions) is NOT adequate compensation. What was stolen & used without my permission is priceless! Where is the option to scrub my work from AI?!
