And we're done! thanks to the folks who attended! hope you had a great time :D

Ok, we're going live for an AMA on Legend in the Mist art. Join us through Google Meet here: meet.google.com/khw-btiq-dfb

I'm gonna be doing an AMA today at 4PM ET on the Son of Oak discord server. In case anyone is interested 😁

Y'all ever see someone's art and think "I wish I knew how to draw"? Cause it happens to me really often lol

"Everyone's using AI" Okay, who are you trying to convince? Because every time I see this take, and it's a lot, it screams insecurity and shame, it reeks of desperation. You sound ashamed of offloading your thinking to slop merchants and desperately wish it was the case that everyone else is too.

Maybe we can do that little fun game in july instead of art fight, just saying. Rules could be: - You get to draw only on a post-it - You can use any medium for drawing, no limits - Describe your OC in three sentences and people will try to draw it - No references, just memory

As an anthropologist, I endorse this message!

Hello! I'm gonna be That Girl and repromo a video edit I put together in the early AM hours yesterday... I never really made a channel promo or anything, and I've tried to use text to explain L. Station, but this 22 minute video captures so much of what I'm about: www.youtube.com/watch?v=I11X...

I’m not saying that these guys don’t hang out at various clubs and retreats and do little bits of collusion and back scratching they absolutely do but you also have to remember that extreme wealth has limited their strategic acumen. this much money is like getting kicked in the head by a horse

my favorite case on this point: yes, Zuckerberg did trip over a curb and land in a radicalization engine then he spent $80b to create a 3D shopping mall no one wanted. no amount of money or connections could conjure the social change he wanted don’t award these guys more power than they have

similarly, ChatGPT was not born of some grand conspiracy to destroy the labor power of the tech worker it was a tech demo that took off by accident, fruits of a paper written by researchers at Google five years earlier the modern world is too complex to be designed by conspirators

I highly recommend that everyone follow artists. If you do, your feed is filled with art every day. Real, original art. It's bonkers that you can even have this. Amazing. Undeniably cool. And then support those artists, when you can, because that helps the delight continue.

Trans rights are not a purity test, anywhere in the world. It's not about whether the candidate, in their personal life, has said something transphobic at some point. It's about whether the political platform they're building is too scared to oppose transphobia

You may have noticed I disappeared from social media after my launch of @beyondxandy.bsky.social I was violently attacked by a transphobe who recognized me and have been in the hospital and resting If you'd like to help me with my medical bills, please consider donating here: gofund.me/9328f91f2

I believe right now, way past midnight, as I finish a long day of work making the kind of art that I've been training to do for over a decade now, is a great time to express my deep disgust at the idea that what I do is somehow intrinsically more "valid" as art than an abstract or performative piece

The one thing that would bring peace to my life is also the thing that will be my undoing: the ability to play the original Zoo Tycoon

the crazy thing about being trans is that sometimes you wake up with like a -20 psychic hit because the admin did a flashy and go about your day interacting with chuds who the admin's trying to program to hate you but they treat you like a person and your empathy gets the best of you

if you're cis and you are asked by your management to police bathrooms, "can you confirm in writing that you are ordering me to approach customers to discuss their sex?" is an email no manager wants to reply to

born to "hiiiiii :3" forced to "I hope this email finds you well"

seeing "transwoman" creep back into the non-TERF vernacular is some crazy work

I really wish the worst people imaginable weren't running the world. Like, yeah we can do all the structural analysis to know that people in charge don't HAVE to be bad for things to suck, and yet they ARE. We have bad systems run by evil people, and I honestly don't know what is to be done

I hate having to post these but i havent been able to get work and could really use some help getting rent, groceries, and toiletries paid for this month, please if youre able to share or donate or toss me a couple bucks on cashapp anything helps!!! cash.app/$merczy ko-fi.com/martybigburr...

Some work has fallen through, so I need some new freelance work asap. Please share if you can 😊

Trans people: What's something you've done to be kind to yourself today? If you don't have an answer, go fix that. You deserve love and kindness (yes you), especially from yourself.

I had to get 200 in medications 2 days ago, I gotta go pick up another medication's refill today. If you feel like helping I'd appreciate it.

Spotted on Tumblr…

🔴LIVE in 75 🔴 We continue our exploration of the Continent in #expedition33! Come see what new and baseless speculation I'll have this time, and enjoy the always awkward 30 minutes at the start where I relearn how to play :3 youtube.com/live/K0bHdNB...

Wednesday Update #maboost #UrgentNeed Unemployment application got denied. Apparently, you need to earn a minimum amount of money before getting canned to qualify in Michigan, so that sucks. Anything helps 🙏💸💕 #MutualAid #HelpFolksLive2026 #helpsky #LGBTQIA2 #NeedHelp #KoFi ko-fi.com/librarysphinx

"can you be in a union without that becoming your personality" unfortunately, much like being openly queer, any self-advocacy in the face of systems of power that don't want you to exist are going to make you act in some kind of abrasive way. I wish I could be quiet! I can only be loud, but kind

Like idk how else to put this but if you build a machine that tricks people into believing it's their friend, just so you can get subscription money from them... I don't think you get to claim your intentions were not abusive or manipulative You also don't get to claim the bot did it

I think when we talk about AI recreating abuse tactics when chatting with vulnerable people, and we say "AI can't really be called abusive because there is no intent behind it" we're letting the creators of the chatbot off the hook. There is intent. They built the thing to behave this way

Every now and again I get to finish a day of work and feel like maybe, just maybe... I am kinda good at what I do.

it's not enough that I succeed, I need to see my friends thrive.

She deserves many more subscribers *Stares in a conspiratorial fashion at people reading this post* 👀

Art fight but you have to draw everything from memory, zero reference pictures allowed. Also you're allowed just a pen and a post-it.

Nother one done, talking about dynamic sketching and how to simplify anatomy and any subject in general without having to have perfect mental images Check out the vod if you want! And thanks for everyone who tolerated my ramblings

I just realized I never told people what's going on here: I'm trying to stream to hang out and be active on the socials, but also as a way to share what I know about art. You don't have to come here with questions, but if you HAVE questions, I'll do my best to answer

🔴Gonna be doing another stream in around 30 mins! Getting some warmups done, talking about how to simplify anatomy, and doodling in general www.twitch.tv/alejandraart...

Arguing about labour law online rarely gets as surreal as some business owner sending me a chat gpt numbered list, citing laws that literally do not exist, arguing he should be allowed to fire people for quitting their jobs

Mario's mom and dad are non canon. Mario came from nothing and he will go to nothing. Sex isn't real. Wake up.
