More timelapse progress on the Shetland Sheepdog painting 🎨 I'm excited to complete these and get them off to their owner 🙏🐶 #art #painter #timelapse #video #painting #dogs

To my fellow whites: BLACK PEOPLE DO NOT HANG THEMSEVES FROM TREES IN PUBLIC SPACES. BLACK PEOPLE DO NOT HANG THEMSEVES FROM TREES IN PUBLIC SPACES. BLACK PEOPLE DO NOT HANG THEMSEVES FROM TREES IN PUBLIC SPACES. BLACK PEOPLE DO NOT HANG THEMSEVES FROM TREES IN PUBLIC SPACES. #BLM

Can't stop thinking about this fatass jumping spider that was on my shed 🥺 so mf cute 😭❤️ #entomology #jumpingspider #spider #photography #Bugsky

You follow me, you get spiders sometimes

All honor to Elizabeth Spiers and The Nation.

So glad to see individuals like Jamelle speaking actual truth on the hate this man spread as well as the division, violence, and propaganda-pushing narrative he contributed to.

I've been online for a long time now so very little surprises me. Young white men in particular have been targeted for radicalization since jump and it often starts with misogyny. Also; coherency of politics is unlikely in a culture that currently insists that communists & fascists are the same.

Just thinking about how the right made up an entirely fictional left wing character that resulted in so many bomb threats and the like and nobody will face consequences. But people on the left who accurately clocked the victim’s life work lost jobs.

Still working on editing timelapse vid #2, but I have officially uploaded my first progress video of the Shetland Sheepdogs Painting WIP to my YouTube channel 🙏🐶😊 #artist #art #WIP #dogart #dogs #painter #timelapse #YouTube

I haven't had much time for art as of late, but have been looking forward to making more progress on this #WIP comission of a couple sheltie cuties 🐶 #art #painter #artist #dogs #WIPWednesday

Managed to record this #video of a jumping spider catching a Hover fly a few weeks ago 🕷️🪰 The spider used my dad's hand to help catch their prey 🥺❤️ #entomology #jumpingspider #spider #hoverfly #bugs #Bugsky

Oh man, yeah, all of this thread. No on is good at anything right away, and the process of getting better is so rewarding. And it's never really done, you know? At least not with art related stuff and I love that. I can always paint, writer, create, better.

Catching and giving flies to the spider's doing great work protecting our house from bugs happens to be one of my love languages 🕷️🪰

No one gave a shit if a gay man was lonely navigating a homophobic society. No one gave a shit if a woman was lonely in an abusive marriage. No one ever gave a shit if the Black kid in a white school was lonely. But we all need to care about straight white men being lonely. Miss me with this bs.

I've been so busy and anti social media lately, and then wonder why I lose followers 🫠 idk how you guys do it keeping up with posting Pls enjoy some fungi photos I got to take yesterday #mycology #mushroomsky #fungi #nature #photography #fungifriends #polypore

Trying something a little different with my thumbnail choice for this painting timelapse 🎨 My cats are my source of inspo for these canvases 🐱 #artpost #ArtonBluesky #painter #video #timelapse #artist #painting

1. They fundamentally resent craftmanship, art, and creativity. They also don't understand it fundamentally. Most of these people have no empathy and therefore no creativity. 2. It won't and can't. They don't want to save civilization, just themselves.

I've wanted to be more consistent with posting and making YouTube videos but idk how anyone has been able to get on social media or their phones in general lately and still be able to act like everything is normal and not the massive shitshow that's currently festering

Got a little video of the spider in my Cellar accepting a fly I dropped into her web 🕸️🕷️🪰❤️ #spider #video #Bugsky #entomology #arachnid #funnelweaver

Being a vertebrate was a mistake.

Finally got the short version of my last video fully uploaded to my channel 🤠 I've been enjoying a slightly extended break since finals being finished for the summer, but I should try and get back into the swing of posting more again 😅 #art #painter #timelapse #video #Bugsky #SciArt #surrealism

I don’t get why we would try to create artificial intelligence before we’ve even developed it organically.

enough about the manosphere “male loneliness” shit. talk about autistic loneliness

btw if you're so petrified of doing a bad job that you can't even start, then what you need isn't advice on how to make comics. you need to learn to embrace being messy and bad at things and being okay with that because it's necessary, and actually it's GOOD. being messy is WONDERFUL

We gotta call it what it is P - plagiarism I - information S - synthesis S - system

propaganda we're not falling for: - there's no nature in cities/urban areas - we already know everything about plants & animals - nature photography requires expensive camera equipment - you need a degree to contribute to science - you need to travel far to see interesting species

“Nobody wants to work anymore” -guy who spends all day exclusively prompting ChatGPT/grok

You bet your ass I added a happy little shaving brush planthopper trotting it's way to the wash station 😤❣️ #SciArt #surrealism #Bugsky #painter #cicada #entomology #planthoppers #art #insects #bugart

The cicada art room is coming together more 🥰 with finals being complete I am getting back into the swing of working on paintings n' timelapse stuff ✨ #SciArt #surrealism #Bugsky #painter #cicada #entomology #art #WIP #originaldesign

can we skip to the part of A.I. where it becomes a forgotten moment in time, like 3D TVs or livestrong bracelets?

Giving my cat a churu while I have a Yoplait so it's like we are both having a yogurt snack together

How I see ChatGPT users:

Yknow I gotta hand it to the plagiarized information synthesis systems, if it wasn't for them fueling my hate and blood pressure spikes, I wouldn't have creatively come up with a new song out of spite towards it, and, get this - I don't, and NEVER will need or use a stupid fucking ai slop generator.

Reminder Any use of ai gets you an auto block If i see someone follow me with an ai icon? Youre getting blocked uwub

Finals this week so hopefully I'll be able to go back to getting some consistent art progress made once this week is over 🫠 maybe even treat myself to a hike or two this week??

Throwback to an #upcycle from years ago! This was a fun tissue box cover I got to add some bugs and fungi to 🪲🍄 #throwbackthursday #art #painter #ArtonBluesky #SciArt #Bugsky

Diana is learning about spiders #spider #catsofbluesky #tuxedocat #cat #ipadBaby

I don't have anything new to share art-wise, so here's a throwback #upcycle of a candle holder to have this metallic green beetle on it 🪲 #Bugsky #SciArt #art#artpost #ArtonBluesky #painter

Memes are kind of an art too (hopefully will get back in the swing of art and nature posting things within the next week or so) 🫠 #catmeme #meme #catsofbluesky #tuxedocat #cat

The autistic urge to not speak and not be a bother is in constant battle with the autistic urge to be helpful and correct someone who is wrong.

The April showers make me wish I didn't have so much on my mental to do list. I'd much rather be romping in the rain ☔🫠 Here are some guttation fungi photos I've taken in previous years when I've had more time in the spring to go splorin' #nature #photography #fungifriends #mushroomsky #mushrooms

“Just calm down and let people enjoy chatgpt.” Sorry, no. I find it creepy that folks are treating a machine that mimics human speech as their friend / therapist. It is feeding you lies. It is destroying your thinking abilities. Shut it off. Talk to other humans. Go outside.

how i get motivated to draw? the truth is if i don't draw actually just spontaneously combust i want to live

Crazy how much quicker I can edit my timelapse videos when it's only 1.5-2 hrs of progress vs. The 4-5 hrs I made at once on my recent cicada painting 😅 Anyways onto editing this further for the short version 🫡 #art #painter #WIP #timelapse #SciArt #surrealism #mushroomsky #Bugsky

Omg there’s a #NationalUnicornDay and its today. Don’t worry, I’ve prepared for this moment: #thelastunicorn #illustration

For anyone who missed the action, I managed to record a little bit of Adobe Photoshop backlash before they deleted their post
