I fucking hate genAI. I hate the excuse of staying independent to justify using it. I hate having to check everything, not only art, to assure that it's not in a service I use. I hate the time it takes in my day. I hate having to chose for the least worst and not the best. FUCK GEN AI.

Eat or be eaten- happy Valentine’s Day 👀

To anyone that needs clarification, "your best" is what you can accomplish without damage to your physical, mental and emotional health, not what you can accomplish by destroying them

Zinesters, a challenge has been issued.

Hiii Bsky, sorry I've been super absent lately, will you take a Nzuzi as apology? 🫣 #OCArt #OCs #OriginalCharacter

Cyberpunk #1: "Did ya hear? Jimmy got wasted on a run last night." Cyberpunk #2: "Goddamn. What got him? Corpo shred-pistol?" #1: "Nah. Forgot to re-up his grappler and it went 'ad-supported' mid-jump. Last thing he heard was a spot for Trojan condoms." #2: "Shred-pistol woulda been kinder."

Idk why people still shit themselves over this but YES it's okay and actually ENCOURAGED to use references while you make art. Do it. It makes your art better!

It's only a Minotaur if it's from Crete, otherwise it's just a sparkling bullman.

nobody posted the clip anywhere so i went and dug the whole episode up

The talk to your friends app and the witness the horrors app being the same app is not great for the mental health is it

When Friday the 13th falls right before Valentine’s Day, it’s called Friday the Flirteenth

hey mah there's a weird guy outside

A drawing from this evening. Maybe a weird centaur declining a plate of horse-meat carpaccio.

Isn't it just. PB's and social transition were supposed to be the compromise. Now even both of those are not allowed. Fuck this country.

So, it looks like the new DfE guidance on trans students in schools incorporates recommendations from the Cass report. Suffice to say that is an *incredibly awful* decision. Here's a thread with my analysis of Cass on social transition from back in 2024.

Disabled people are part of the future. We must and should imagine and dream of futures where disabled people don't just exist but are everywhere, as we should be. This need to fix/cure all disability is a eugenicist dreaming, and we should want better for ourselves.

Yet again I apologize to be back so soon. I have an appointment w/ a pulmonalogist next week & need help covering the copay & transportation. I also need help w/ some meds I need to grab from the pharmacy and some supplements. I apologize. I hate asking so frequently. It sucks.

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references. Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.

got you some chocolates. don’t worry about the title

Hey, while I'm working on this: if you have any kind of medical Weird and are trying to gather evidence to demonstrate to a doctor how bad it is, allow me to introduce you to the best clinical measurement for "how fucked up are you", the Karnofsky scale. www.mdcalc.com/calc/3168/ka...

I was playing around with a t4t cyberpunk retelling of Orpheus and Eurydice before I got too sick last year. This was my favorite doodle of Orpheus.

One of my funny little quirks is that I think everyone is steeped in the biases and prejudices of our ambient culture and that we all need to unpack those biases regardless of whether we're marginalized or not.

I've said before and unfortunately will have to say again: we can all tell which guys get excited when there's a woman so awful that they have permission to hate her because anyone who points out the sexism will be accused of defending a villain

I don’t really know what I expect in posting this, but maybe some people see it and can learn from it. I’ll call it “lessons from an unwilling immigration attorney.” 1/

Dear freelance artists who worry about charging too much: I work on a TV show that outsources incredibly simple graphic printing because we have too much to do in house. I've seen the purchase orders - You are not charging too much.

Another case of prioritizing a man’s potential over the safety of women: doctor doesn’t lose license bc he supposedly only raped one woman and he had glowing reviews from colleagues

Doggo is fine but I hate that this is actually from 2022. I just feel like the world of facts is separating and leaving the world we live in, even on small things. www.mirror.co.uk/sport/other-...

I filled in the consultation over Christmas without the Amnesty guidelines, but you'll find they're excellent in helping you articulate why you're feeling queasy reading the Home Office proposals. Please, if you've got a half hour, review and send the Home Office your responses.

Reminder that "degenerate" was a term coined by Nazis to describe art they didn't like and labeled problematic. Unless you have proof of real world harm, leave people alone and let them draw fucknasty shit. You have block and mute features. Stop making your disgust everyone else's problem.

when I was 11ish I remember getting really sad that the internet wasn’t as fun to me as it had been when we had dial-up and I couldn’t just go online whenever I wanted and honestly I was right

I want it on the record of history that artists realized the harm immediately and were (and continue to be) loud bitches trying to stop the idiots who are out of their minds.

The pronoun labeler, which was by far the most useful labeler on the site, was deleted by its creator. But thanks to @ripperoni.com there’s a new one available. I highly recommend it. It’s a great way to share your pronouns or see someone else’s pronouns at a glance. bsky.app/profile/pron...

This study confirms something I suspected - LLMs trained on medical case studies are good at diagnosing from case studies. But when they have to interview a patient who doesn't know which information is relevant or how to describe it in medical jargon, their accuracy plummets.
