Hey friends, I'm Dusty. Im old(ish) and disabled and I post a lot about gender, art, and the politics in between. This is a mostly positive space but I will not be delusional in times of strife. I do not support generative AI, and if I reblog anything with it I did not know and would like to be told

My lemon pig is a little scarred on one ear, but that just means he surived many battles to be here with me! His name is Robert Robertson the fourth, or Bobbert. His predecessor didn't survive the move, but Bobbert isn't scared. Bring it on 2026! He'll kick your ass!

I have an extreme health condition the cold makes worse but otherwise my choices are self explanatory. If it seems weird, it's probably cause someone i know lives there, for better or worse.

it couldn’t be more simple. making things is fun. to hand over the joy of the process of creation to AI is to submit fully to the logic of capital. i am hilariously unproductive and un-prolific, but i enjoy making things, and people enjoy the things i make. i would not trade this for anything.
Who needs AI when we had stuff like this? I’ll take photoshop edits over the slop any day

Quote this with what you have accomplished in 2025, no matter how big or small
Reading & writing has kept me alive this year.
Somehow, it’s been my most productive year as an author.
Here’s a guide to what I’ve published in 2025, in case you’ve lost track.

Zero tolerance is the ONLY and FITTING response to genAI being used in production of media.
Sure, you might think it's too harsh. Sure, they might've only used it for early stuff in development, etc
Listen, it's not even a SLIPPERY slope, there is NO friction at all unless we speak out against it.

look if a writer can't literally explain their idea to an artist, literally their one job to use words to communicate an idea, they aren't a writer

There is a direct correlation between how fake your job is and how much value you see in AI
A study by Dayforce shows 87% of executives use AI for work, compared to 57% of managers and just 27% of employees.
I think this explains the massive disconnect we see in how CEOs talk about AI versus everyone else. It also raises the question of how useful it truly is for frontline work?

Execs are embracing AI more than their employees are, new research suggests
Research from HR software company Dayforce suggests that executives are leaning into AI far more than their employees.

too many people want to have kids but don't want to parent
some significant part of this is just catch-all fear for “this is not the child I ordered” I think
Oh, here's a big surprise. The transphobes don't believe in ADHD either.
