Kids need/deserve traumatic films. Films that show death or lasting consequences that aren't resolved almost instantly. Fear, anger, grief and frustration should be part of kids movies. Kids arent stupid, they feel big emotions just like adults, they deserve to see those experiences reflected back.

What's going on at Meta?!  Meta removed support for end-to-end encrypted messages in Instagram, & now it lets users create AI images with other people's public photos? 🤯 To make it worse, users must OPT OUT if they do not want this.  Find out how to opt out here  👉 tuta.com/blog/meta-ai...

@syleniscrafts.bsky.social broke her frames and needs help getting new glasses and she's having a sale to raise emergency funds since she's functionally blind for the time being. (Her custom plushies are amazing BTW highly recommend) ko-fi.com/post/Help-Im...

The idea that disabled people must always be unhappy, malcontent, even miserable b/c of their disability is stupid and dehumanizing. Whimsify the wheelchair. Paint the cane funky colors. Show off the massive DVD collection that grows every yard sale. Fuck the haters. #disabilitypridemonth

Not my meme, but it's HILARIOUS. #DisabilityPrideMonth

Omg there's a horseshoe crab flipping song!! It's so 90s PSA songey. What glorious propaganda!! 😭 😭

We can get that percentage higher. #AIslop #genai #generativeai

Unless they give cusomters full refunds this should honestly be straight up illegal.

You don’t need the internet’s permission to like a game. Not from reviews. Not from Reddit. Not from that guy who thinks difficulty is a personality. Play the thing. Love the thing. Be weird about the thing. It’s your controller. Stop handing it to strangers.

It’s rough and the timeline is reflecting that but there are so many creatives, artists and devs doing their thing everyday on here regardless and they need support as well. Engage with the art you see and enjoy its worthwhile for you and the artist on the other side of the screen.

Fun fact: Today is also a great day to support your indie bookshop. (And not just because a certain online mega-retailer is having its annual sale, but because indie bookshops need our support all year long to thrive.)

You know what? I think I will. Ellipsus is the ONLY Googledocs replacement I can find that has "AI free" as a selling point rather than a concession. Not "opt-out", not "We hear you", they LEGALLY STATE they don't use Gen AI or LLMs. Plus it's easy to use and feels nice. I want to support that.

#metroid monday, this was a piece i found unfinished and thought id just pop some color into it.

Anti-Prime Day starts…NOW! 🥳 Today through 6/26, enjoy free standard shipping site-wide, all while supporting local, independent bookstores.

Dont stress so much about your rate of improvement! One page full of "bad" drawings is priceless. An empty sheet of paper costs a cent. You'll always be trying to improve your draftsmanship, so celebrate your ability to see mistakes!

I very often will draw 5 or 6 terrible, hideous, incompetent studies from reference and then draw something great out of my head, using what I internalized from all those failures. That is the point. The whole entire point.

Do not speak to me of "barriers to entry". Every act of creation is slicing out a thin sliver of light from the existential darkness of the human condition. You not being able to pick up a fucking pencil and risk failing does not even register.

Word on the street is there's a new scam making the rounds. Stay frosty. #vtuber #vsky

I guess my views are being tanked here too. If you see this, could you help the original post be seen by sharing it. We only need another 260 and Yasmeen can pay her university fees. If she doesn't pay by next week they will null all her exam results

Checks out.

Why does it bother me when a manager or the CEO of my employer boasts about using Copilot to write their emails? This. This is why

" Am I so beautiful that you've no words left ? "

Given all of the recent genAI discussion, I wish to repost this.

YALL FR Instagram blocks your content from anyone who doesn’t have an account or the app. The number of times I find an artist who’s only on IG and I’m like “damn okay 🪦🥀” and just leave.

I’m gonna be real. Believing that older video games require constant remakes in order to be enjoyed in the modern day is the same school of thought as needing a live action remake of an animated film in order to watch it. It’s just completely pointless most of the time.

Divest from big tech whenever possible, and reinvest that in small businesses! Goes a lot further to support your local economy and community 💓

This is what every game developer sounds like right now.

It's even worse when you consider all the women currently in prison for defending themselves against abusive men. 🤦‍♀️ #sexism #america #americanpolitics

Pride It Forward (pay it forward for pride) patches have been listed thanks to a generous patron. 5 patches of any rep are available for just the shipping and will be available until all 5 have been claimed. Further details can be found on the site. #Pride2026 #onlineshop ko-fi.com/s/11cb42cf17

Make Art (1/4)

i did not know this

If you are commissioning an artist, and want a specific pose, don't run to genAI to try and make it for you. Draw a stick person. Stick person poses are beloved among all artists. We can see exactly what you want. Do not fear sending the stick person. The stick person is magical.

Happy Pride Month 2026! I have a small selection of Iron On Patches in my shop available for purchase. Unfortunately, my embroidery machine died last year so custom orders and other representations are temporarily unavailable until I can get the machine replaced. ko-fi.com/s/11cb42cf17 #pride2026

This goes for all art methinks

I think we’re long past the “ai bad because of stealing” argument and fully in the “ai is also actively and tangibly destroying our planet why are you even trying to use it as an art tool at this point” stage

Reminder for freelancers and clients! Pick two: Fast | Cheap | Good If it's fast and cheap, it won't be good. If it's good and fast, it won't be cheap. If it's cheap and good, it won't be fast. Invoice and budget appropriately! Good luck in all your endeavors!

If you don’t know what writers actually feel about AI, you haven’t been paying attention to us. (Lucky you, we have a survey and a blog post about it: ellipsus.com/blog/survey-...) TL;DR: The writing world is not in the grips of "AI fever." @nymag.com - want to know more? We’re available.

Gonna put this simply: My day is better because yall create. Either as illustrators, writers, coders, musicians, voice actors, performers etc. Whether you have a large multimedia project or just a little lore for your OCs you keep for yourself. The world is better because you create. <3

This is a dance off! If you see this, post a dance or you're eliminated.

Artists, it looks like Adobe might be doing very questionable things at the moment by auto-enrolling you into a more expensive AI-heavy "pro" plan (potentially even charging you for opting out after the fact, which I should hope is illegal). Be vigilant 🧵 see further posts below

“Creative breakthroughs happen when visionary storytellers are given access to transformative tools”-- Actually, creative breakthroughs happen when people don't have to drink brown water from data center waste. This is not cool or accessible, this is disingenuous & disappointing.

‘The Good Advice Cupcake’ creator Loryn Brantz says she is “horrified and disgusted” after BuzzFeed allegedly gave her character to an AI platform without her involvement. She also called for a boycott of BuzzFeed and AI-produced animation.

New horror movie trailer just dropped. #genai #artificialintelligence
