When I get my shit together and start my channel, that’s where I’ll work: looking to empathize, approaching subjects with curiosity instead of shoving them into a box.

Am I leaving the left? Hardly.
I don’t think I was ever truly part of this version of the left.
And I think mine is more radical.

to clarify, this isn’t about “stop fighting,” it’s more about endlessly screaming “WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING” into the void without actually doing anything or suggesting anything actionable

One of the reasons right wingers hate the arts is because they suck at them. They lack the patience and dedication to develop the skill and the heart needed to make good art. That's why they love AI and think AI slop is art.

Someone should start asking why we’re hearing and seeing Stephen Miller so much all of a sudden.

The fact that they already made Freedom Cry shows just how far the company has fallen.

This is the true creative energy that will save cinema from AI rot.

There’s an interview going around about AI, so before there are any questions, let me state unequivocally that BLACK PHONE 2 is 100% organic. AI was not used at any stage of the filmmaking from idea generation, research, look books, writing, onscreen images - anything. We’re old school and love it.

Milena @mzmilena.bsky.social · 4h

it’s not going to go away like VR, it doesn’t require us to buy expensive, unwieldy, limited-use equipment

so as long as it’s around for some things, some people are going to use it for all things

I’m not supporting it but ffs who are you yelling at that hasn’t already made up their mind

Milena @mzmilena.bsky.social · 4h

getting kinda tired of seeing people shout about how “we have to stop AI”

like… how, dude

everyone you’ve ever met in your life could boycott it and the infinite money machine of tech corpos will still force it

we can make them see that we don’t want it in our art but there are other applications

And nothing to do but ride it out, hoping to hell I don’t make it someone else’s problem. Hoping I can resist the urge to. The desire to.

Anchors are essential, but when I’m adrift, it can get borderline hallucinogenic.

And this is with the meds.

I’ll never forgive her for making it this bad.

One of the more baffling aspects of BPD+PTSD is getting overwhelmed by multiple conflicting emotions.

Being pushed to the edge and overwhelmed can feel like needing to laugh, cry, scream, and yell at the same time.

Happiness and joy and terror and rage and devastation.

All for no single reason.

Some of y'all need to touch grass and realize there's more dynamics at play than shaming shameless people out of their bad behavior. That's a mentality born of having social media be the limits of your world view.

ICE and DHS agents aren't worried about being doxed. They were given a directive to disguise themselves so people can't trace them back to the various far right extremist groups and militias they were recruited from, because that will embarrass the administration.

It's a wild rush when you do it for the first time. Hold that pride close to your heart and remember it. It'll help you have courage to do it again the next time it's needed.

Congrats on making a terrifying but monumental leap. ^_^

I don't think we consider the long-term repercussions of this movie enough.

few fans have been as offended and shitty towards me for their special interest not captivating me the same way that it does them as final fantasy fans

people would literally HIT ME when I was a kid because I just didn't give a shit about final fantasy 7

Milena @mzmilena.bsky.social · 1d

kingdom hearts is the unholy collision of two of the most incredibly shitty fandoms eschewing any notion of storytelling learned outside of the most convoluted anime contrivances and AO3 oversaturation

don't get me wrong, nintendo still makes good games
but this is about how the concept of "disney adults" goes way beyond "adults that still love disney"

nintendo adults are the disney adults of gaming
