I want the heated rivalry jerseys to come back in stock. I want them oversized so I can drown in them.

Kitty cuddles are the best cuddles.

Unfortunately I am not getting kitty cuddles, but I can hear the occasional snort of my cats as they snooze elsewhere in the room.

And that's pretty great still.

it’s come to my attention that my tumblr post has been crossposted to bluesky, so I’m posting it on my account here #AntiAI #GenAI

recently my friend's comics professor told her that it's acceptable to use gen AI for script-writing but not for art, since a machine can't generate meaningful artistic work. meanwhile, my sister's screenwriting professor said that they can use gen AI for concept art and visualization, but that it won't be able to generate a script that's any good. and at my job, it seems like each department says that AI can be useful in every field except the one that they know best.

It's only ever the jobs we're unfamiliar with that we assume can be replaced with automation. The more attuned we are with certain processes, crafts, and occupations, the more we realize that gen AI will never be able to provide a suitable replacement. The case for its existence relies on our ignorance of the work and skill required to do everything we don't.

I know this is now about 5 years old and was for a different fandom but every time I'm reminded of its existence I get forced into a state of shock like. How did I do this. What kind of mystery stimulants was I taking in order to achieve this and how can I do it again

Image is a digital painting of the characters wei wuxian and lan wangji from the Chinese xianxia novel series "Mo Dao Zu Shi" in the style of American artist John Koch, specifically his 1964 work "The Sculptor" with Wei Wuxian as the sculptor and Lan Wangji as the muse or model. Wei Wuxian is wearing a red shirt and a grey smock and is sat at an angle in an art studio on a bench with his feet pointed to the bottom right of the piece. In his right hand he holds a pair of calipers and in his left hand is a unlit cigarette. Lan Wangji is stood in front of him, completely nude, with his back to the viewer. He has his right arm up and leaning on a large floor easel, one leg leisurely crossed in front of the other, and his left positioned downwards towards Wei Wuxian's face in order to place a cigarette lighter under Wei Wuxian's cigarette. Behind the two is a large sculpture in progress on top of a large cart holding various sculpting supplies that depicts one figure atop a donkey reaching out to a small child who is riding on the shoulders of another figure walking alongside them. Their hands almost reach. In the lower right corner of the piece there is a small framed painting of two rabbits, one white and one black, positioned so that their noses are almost touching. Overall the piece is colored in warm tones and lit softly from behind and to the left. End ID.

thank you for all the solidarity on this 🫶❤️‍🔥 i will figure something else out soon!

in the meantime, if you didn't know: BROOD is a complete and free-to-read webcomic about two idiots figuring out their feelings for each other through tentacle sex 💘 i invite you to read it at brood.webcomic.ws

a 6 panel comic page, drawn in grayscale and pink/purple. a man, Dav, is eating out an elf's ass. the elf, Rael, has a bloated stomach, full of tentacle eggs. a tentacle prods rael's ear, and they remind dav about the brood.

a 5 panel comic page. dav says, "ah, how could i forget... sorry for neglecting them. i'll take care of you." as he fucks rael's ass, embracing him.

a 7 panel comic page, laid out like a montage. dav and rael are kissing and fondling while having sex. the last panel is a scene change of water being poured into a glass.

This is my corner and I'm going to navel gaze a bit.

Why do I have to live hating myself and thinking I am a terrible person while the truly terrible, those in power, exist at all.

They are the monsters, not me. And yet my brain endlessly yells at me how worthless I am.

It's really not fair.
