a ship needs to be a little codependant and toxic to be fun. It's fiction, after all. ships need to be a bit fucked up

heads up that bluesky doesnt show posts from other languages by default on your timeline, and its cutting you off from a lot of the community
go to bsky.app/settings/lan... and deselect any language from this setting, or else you might not see any of the new japanese users at all!

now more than ever, doing/making things yourself is an act of resistance. it's always been cool but now it's cooler than ever. at least that's something we can take advantage of. don't let yourself get beat down, learn basic skills and make yourself more powerful

The very first lecture I had at art school, told us that we weren't there to learn to make beautiful images. We were there to learn to communicate ideas. (That could sometimes be beautiful but also not.)
If we wanted to make "soulless beauty" we were pointed to the door.
This was 20 years ago.

Using genAI for concept art is so fucking stupid because like... that's where you get the cool shit. Thats the blue sky phase where artists make pieces of art that will be seen by a teenager later and change their life forever. Why would you want to start from mediocre. Why would you do that.

A MAJOR component of media literacy is being able to separate personal expectation from the media itself. No project can be all things to all people, no creator should be expected to change their story to please their fanbase. This is an unhealthy mindset and it needs to stop.

One of the cruelest tricks society played on creative people was planting the idea that being proud of your work is somehow unseemly and egotistical.
You made a thing! You like it! You SHOULD be proud of it. Brag all you want!

Lots of folks captioning aurora photos like "for a few minutes we didn't think about politics"
guess I'm built different, every time I'm out trying to see night sky stuff I frequently think about how much light pollution is entirely preventable with just a tiny bit of regulation
