The year I painted this watercolor portrait of place, the internet was an obscure DOS platform, artists still documented their work in 35 mm slides, and Altadena (at center), was a sleepy hamlet untouched by fire.

Sadly, so much is lost when you have a wall of terms for both inclusion and exclusion. I hope BlueSky Feed Creator could explore feed training using posts as examples. A word out of context can mean multiple things in different set ups.

Needles to say, I put a lot of effort on my little feed. I want it to be a source of discovery and inspiration for me and other artists. I’m both the main user and harshest critic.

I’ve also had to block users that do adult content in watercolors because they do not use the labeling feature in Bluesky. If they did I wouldn’t have to, it would be up to each user and their settings. But since they don’t bother to label I’ve made the difficult decision to block them from my feed.

Now, my excluding terms, that’s another story. I thought I was going to list AI products and rest easy. But I want this feed to be SFW and I’ve had to go on a rabbit hole of exclusion terms to avoid nsfw content.

My inclusion terms aim to cast a wide net for traditional media, mixed media is allowed, but my goal for this feed is to be watercolour centred.
