Yay it’s my book’s birthday; don’t yell about pubes in public

An angry character shouts in the distance, “I hope they step on a million stray legos. I hope they get an ingrown pube!” A second character in the background responds, “Jelly you gotta not yell about pubes in public. Also, mind the ice.” A nervous young person with freckles and short hair hides behind an evergreen bush in the foreground.

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

As much as folks might not want to believe it, artists who sell their work cannot survive exclusively on platforms that cater to primarily other artists. The Circulating The Same Five Dollars™️ model can't feed us or pay bills for long. We need places where we can be seen and discovered.

This right here. I love my art friends and art community, but I'm also trying to run a business as a freelancer/selling products and I need the reach! Every time we scatter to different platforms it's a little harder to exist as a working artist whose primary visibility is only online.

"Who Is Superman? A Private Interview With Lois Lane" A story about hope and connection ☀️(1/4)

A comic cover for a fan comic. The cover portrays Superman carrying Lois Lane (she is depicted as a Southeast Asian woman in a purple office suit and skirt).

Superman sets Lois down gently as she says, ‘That’s going to take some getting used to.’ The two are far from the city, in a roadside canyon with a view overlooking Metropolis. Standing in front of a fence with Metropolis and a sunset-colored sky in the distance, Superman asks, ‘The flying?’ Pulling something from her pocket, Lois says, ‘Oh, that and everything. Let’s get to it, shall we?’

The item she pulled from her pocket turns out to be a recorder device, which clicks on as she says, ‘This is Lois Lane of the Daily Planet, interviewing the elusive Superman. The date is – nevermind, let’s cut to the chase.’ He looks somewhat surprised as Lois paces around. She says ‘Although some feel that you’ve made your intentions clear to Metropolis through your acts of heroism and good will … others feel that the way you’ve avoided giving an official statement has led to speculation and worry.’

She holds the recorder up to him and asks, ‘So why speak up now, Superman?’ He pauses before responding.

Superman smiles and says, ‘Well … because I’m ready to talk.’

Looking incredulous, Lois asks, ‘Can you explain why you feel “ready” to talk.’

Now floating a few feet off the ground, he replies, ‘I guess … people have always been nosy about me, even before I started flying. Lately it’s like every other day someone’s trying to figure out who I am and how I’m like this.’

He finger guns in her direction and says, ‘Why, you were the most gutsy about investigating me, Ms. Lane. Didn’t you pitch that one theory about my strength being the result of a lab accident—’ She cuts him off- blushing in embarrassment as she says, ‘Okay, listen!’

Apologies for this post, but I've more or less hit rock bottom. I am emotionally exhausted and burnt out. I've not drawn for weeks and by now it does not feel like an easy fix. If you have any desire to support me, it'd mean more than ever as I physically can't work atm.

I’m not sure how they haven’t shut down yet since a lot of instructors have been open about it but if they also did ai classes I wouldn’t be surprised and that’ll just be another thing to add to the growing list of why they should be stopped 😣 cgms was one I really liked though! So sad to see…

~Tanisha Cherislin~ @tani269.bsky.social · 7d

Yeah I was sure something similar like that happened on skillshare too with AI classes but I’m not sure anymore I never like skillshare though and have no idea how well they pay instructors but domestika not paying instructors has been exposed before unfortunately
