Traveled to Japan last month and here is my attempt of capturing the vibrancy of autumn in one of the temple grounds in Kyoto #painting #art #landscape

gross

Everyone imitates Tolkien all the time except when it comes to the one way it would really matter: making the protagonist of your novel for children a short, fat, 50-year-old man who doesn't want to do anything.

I love that Kevin Woo is out here performing Soda Pop but why is he the only one representing the Saja Boys??

Was feeling optimistic abt the holidays then was quickly reminded that holiday traffic in the Philippines is hell

men describing pregnancy: it's not a big deal, your body was naturally designed for it women describing pregnancy: yeah 7 of my toenails fell off, my liver and spleen switched places, my lung fell out of my butthole, and I began seeing an entity known only as "the shadow lady"

Open AI loses copyright case in Germany. Judge Elke Schwager summarized the case saying that if you want to build something and need components, "then you purchase them and do not use the property of others."

Just finished this one up yesterday. This is oils on a stretched 24x36-in canvas. It's available but still rather wet and won't be ready to ship for a couple of months. "Dogwood Fury" $3024.00 #art #artist #Dogwood #oilpainting #artforsale #forsale #painting #impressionism

I think it's crazy that Meta thinks it's a good idea to use AI to summarize my conversations in my DMs like first of all, why y'all trying to scrape private convos with this horseshit technology? Second, nobody's writing their papers or dissertation in their ig DMs so who is this feature for?

Happy World Pasta Day to all those who celebrate.

West End Girl is THE album of the year i fear

scorpio season🦂

"a cautionary tale", gouache, acrylic markers, colored pencils and oil pastels on paper. #mixedmediaart #abstractart #painting if you're on ig, my acct is artbyjoelle.ph !

These companies selling A! Images masquerading as human-made art are so common now. Note the carefully worded statement (chatgpt generated of course) and generated photo designed to be misleading. It's awful that this sort of false marketing is legal.

ah, so that's why I like space so much

Happy album release day Swifties! This is me while listening to Wood:

I just binge watched The Pitt the past 3 days and wow the Emmy was well-deserved. I've never been more locked in for a medical drama

“We are told by leaders that we are the future. But when it comes to the ongoing pandemic, our present is being stolen right in front of our eyes.” Incredible speech by Violet Affleck who warned about the ongoing dangers of COVID & Long Covid, & advocated for masks and clean air at the UN today!

Shoutout to my fellow maskers!

an article asking whether it's feminist to use AI? i will get right around to reading that, but first, would you join me in the cellar for a moment? i have a lovely new cask of sherry of dubious origin i'd like your opinion on

A recent commission. The king pupper and his loyal squirrel subjects 🙇

I finally watched Thunderbolts and the only thing i couldn't suspend my disbelief on is Bucky had ran for congress - and won???

occassionally i find myself trying to paint perfectly than expressively so when i catch myself doing that, i just say fuq it and pick a random color and just go crazy to get rid of the hyperfixation on the outcome. This is the result. #abstractart #mixedmediapainting #sketchbook #gouache

I think if you listen to a podcast with fake AI people saying AI generated words you are functionally dead, you are basically a phone to me at that point

Although it's rarely expressed in outright terms, people often use a very simple heuristic when solving fashion problems: they wish to look rich, which is often disguised as "respectable." I will show you why this rarely leads to good outfits. 🧵

“Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses, put them in this van.”

Gouache, oil pastels and colored pencils. #mixedmediaart #abstractart

Arcane got an Emmy for animation and this tweet popped up in my mind again

Trying to get back into painting on a regular basis. #abstractart

Yesterday we visited Green Mountain Falls, CO to visit the kinetic sculpture Off the Beaten Path by Patrick Shearn. I wasn’t ready for just how dynamic it was even in the slightest breeze. Reminds me of a murmuration of starlings. Incredible artwork. It’ll only be up through October 19th.

one time my friend came by and she started ranting abt something then my cat decided he didn't like her vibe in that moment so he went up to her and smacked her face with his paw 😭

people love bringing up japan when it comes to deporting immigrants/ creating a homogenous society, but if you bring up japan's anti-gun laws it's "woah woah woah"

My cat is baffled as to why i am working overtime and has resorted to attacking my leg for attention

Japan Post just announced they will no longer deliver mail to the United States, joining Germany, Austria, Denmark, Italy, France, and Sweden.

Me after googling the synopsis of Morning Glory Milking Farm out of curiousity:

Nostalgia is a toxic impulse but also I miss the time when tech trends were things like "let's put everything in a translucent colored plastic case" instead of "let's add software to everything that lies and also accelerates climate change"

I finally watched the 2nd episode of The Last of Us S2. I knew what to expect but mygod that episode was brutal af 😭 my shaylaaaa

just saw someone sincerely arguing that they need AI bc they don't have "natural" artistic talent and idk how to make you understand that nobody comes by this shit naturally. it's just...work. it's being bad at it for a really, really, really long time. it's intention, pursued over time! wtf!!!

Pedro Pascal at the HBO Max Emmy Celebration.

weirdos keep insisting bsky is an echo chamber meanwhile i saw posts hating on taylor swift when the latest new heights podcast episode dropped

one of my friends said he's planning to propose to his gf soon and i said wow congrats but if u plan to get married the same year BTS announces their comeback tour, i won't make it to ur wedding fam

I, an atheist, today made a random impulse purchase of a prayer candle with Pedro Pascal on it. His solid support of queer and trans rights doesn’t go unseen by the LGBTQIA+ community. When my queer ass saw the candle I thought “yeah why not”.

NOW why would y'all do that to Oscar's sugar daddy #TheGildedAge

genAI's designed to mimic human communication, so I guess it's no wonder that it is exceedingly confident regardless of how wrong it is.

This is my most-liked post. I feel pretty confident that it’s the best advice I have for anyone joining Bluesky. Life is just simpler this way 💙
