Democratizing the arts looks like universal income, low-barrier grants for both emerging and working artists, well-funded municipal arts & recreation programs, vibrant third spaces, and a well-funded public school system with progressive curriculum.
Not a free pass for corporate-owned slop engines.

Every instance of "AI democratizes the arts, you're classist and ableist and a gatekeeper for trying to stop it" is a slap in the face to the literally centuries of poor, disabled people making art on the margins and a crass lie in service of a machine that strips down and regurgitates dreams

For my followers in the EU, there is an European citizens’ initiative you can sign to demand the full suspension of the EU-Israel Association Agreement.
If you are for BDS this would be a huge step up.

I have taken a couple of artistic liberty raptor orders in the past, but they all had a fantasy element to them, this is my first time taking a crack at making an "actual critter" of a dinosaur, how did I do?

people treat creativity like it's magic, but like actual magic it's only fantastical when you don't know how it's done. the more you know how it's done and more accessible it is, the more it's de-mystified and understood, which means that it can be quantified, which means that it can be respected

since it's behind a paywall now, I wanted to share this graph from "How Trump 2.0 is slashing NIH-backed research — in charts" (Nature, April 2025). Say it with me: the anti-trans/LGBTQ+ movement is an anti-science movement:

A useful test for filtering Takes regarding current events as an online creative is to ask yourself: could I say this in person to someone directly affected by said events and reasonably expect them to not want to strangle the life out of me after?
I saw someone make a post comforting artists and writers who have deadlines “despite terrible world events” and I just wanna say that’s the most disgusting, narcissistic, bullshit thing you could say in the face of US imperialism and real civilian casualties. Get over yourselves artists
