Kansas will end all access to hormone treatments and other gender-affirming care for transgender minors in January. To keep getting care for their children, some families are opting to leave the state entirely.

Just a reminder, big companies asking for free art in the guise of a contest isnt altruistic for the fans, its a way to get free concept art you will lose all rights to after submission win or lose. Recognition is minimal as well if thats important to you.

I do think the popularisation of algorithms on social media is to blame for the current climate in creative spaces, btw. There's a weird expectation that one should never see anything that isn't catered to them personally, so of course stumbling across kink art you don't like feels like a violation.

Here is the story on the vote. We will have a story on McBride's speech out tomorrow morning.
US house votes to ban youth HRT, potentially leaving thousands of kids to early deaths
The bill is the most consequential attack of trans rights in the 21st century,

This is why you don’t use generated AI images as your reference… even a quick 1-click edit button screwed up this bad, how could a completely generated by AI reference can be trust for your concept art? And that even not count other concern like stealing artist’s work and impact of datacenters
this field biologist does a great job highlighting the insidiousness of AI editing
these one-click AI edit buttons are incredibly appealing to many photographers, amateurs and professionals alike, and are framed as innocuous
this is worth sharing and educating people about

The thing thats so insidious about using AI this way is that one of the main ways artists get hired are studios looking for art references and they find us and reach out.
This is removing a major avenue to get work if they can just generate nameless derivations of our ideas.
