Counterpoint: No I will not

Anyone know what these little creatures are loving in my Chive flower?...yep, there was some shenanigans occurring😂 #bloomscrolling #flowers #herbs #spring #photography

I really don't care whatever else you post, how valuable it might be, how insightful or whatever, IF YOU USE AI IMAGES that's an immediate unfollow. It demonstrates a willful disregard for all the harms AI is doing because it's convenient for you to use the theftbot for personal gain.

I think you forgot something on your list...toxic masculinity is actively repelling women. We don't want to have relationships or kids with men like that.

I hate my current villain so much I have to take breaks writing his bad guy monologues! #writerslife

What an appalling waste of money. This bs has to end. OpenAI is not a sustainable business.

#tether me to you With a silken thread Sew up the holes in my brittle heart Fill it with love instead of distrust Tie me up in knots of joy That I'll never unravel Nimble fingers on your skin Endlessly travel Mapping you to find my way home #Vss365 #poem #poetry #writerslife #emotery

Trans people have been around your whole life. You’ve been sharing bathrooms with them your whole life. They’ve been in your communities your whole life. They’ve even been playing sport your whole life. And you didn’t care *at all* till a few years ago when every right wing org decided you should

This introvert is patting herself on the head for peopling today. I went to my life drawing class and my drawings were better than last week. 😊 I'm so rusty but determined to get back my drawing skills. And here's a nice old door I saw on the way to class (circa 1845) #art #artistsofBluesky

I am begging everyone to make something! Yes, YOU! Make something bad, make something stupid, make something messy Draw, paint, sing, dance, tell jokes, film, mold, whatever Just make something that didn’t exist before you made it I’m convinced creativity and community will save us

For my current novel I wanted to understand if there was a way of disrupting a signal jammer - so that my MC can wear a button camera and film the villain. I did a quick Google search - more fool me. I'd say our species is toast! #writingcommunity #writerslife

My eyes #linger on his face I want to sculpt him Capture that moment That spark A mixture of beauty & masculinity Without the toxicity of reality He's such a sweet man Handsome, kind, and clever In a world of men Who look on his face with envy And want to add bruises #Vss365 #poem #poetry #writer

Lovely, fascinating thread — the crucial takeaway is how incredibly chaotic the act of artistic creation is A film requires hundreds of people, each making hundreds of daily choices, and the iconic final product is often born from collaboration/compromise/improvisations AI does none of this

You know what to do! #fuckAI

holy shit...??? legendary animator John Ripa just posted a long lost pencil test from the very first version of Tangled, where it was a cute romcom and Jack Black was the main love interest, omg. we were robbed TWICE #animation #tangled

Barnes & Ignoble.

Oh my goodness. Imagine driving home, looking up and seeing Skeletor in the sky 😳

I kind of love a messy, smudgy sketchbook page. It’s a reminder that I’m allowed to draw in whatever way feels good and right that day. That drawing doesn’t have to be perfection.

A lovely new landscape sketch book and a new retractable fountain pen with my old Inoxcrom mini fountain pen. (Retractable fountain pens are a marvel) 😍 #artistsofbluesky #art

Understanding friendship Like understanding ourselves Takes a lifetime A meeting of kin souls Diverted paths on the road Memories of togetherness A heavy load Soured by #Betrayal Friendships fail or grow stronger Searching for recognition In the eyes of strangers Can you see me? #Vss365 #poem

Anyone going to tell Jeff that no one gets out alive? I'd rather spend my time on earth being a decent human, not sitting like a dragon on a hoard of gold. Bezos is totally detached from humanity and his devastating effect on it.

A tone deaf take from a Lib Dem councillor. I wonder if she's ever been desperate enough to have to ask for help. The benefits system is not fit for purpose. Supermarkets are profiteering. Tesco's CEO-10.8m bonus Sainsbury's CEO- 4m bonus. For what? Fair pay for farmers & capped prices for basics

I currently don't have the spoons for this. And I guess thats the point. They've exhausted us with their AI nonsense and expect us to comply. I'll recharge and work out how to use my Android phone without Google cloud. Fuck 'em.

this is a masterpiece

#writingcommunity What infuriates me about this is that Barnes & Nobel actively restricts the titles they sell in-store. The general 'adult content' filters affect #self-published LGBTQ+ romances & yet they're happy to sell AI slop. I'll shop elsewhere. www.the-independent.com/arts-enterta...

Bluesky was down, so I ate too many emotional support cookies. I didn't know what else to do with my hands. 🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪

My novel is nearing 100k words 'brain-only' writing No AI shortcuts or detours Aching for the day I release this #feral beastie into the wild book sea Will it sink or swim? No matter I'll keep going Start my next book Find the next reader to hook Creativity is a lifetime of choices #Vss365 #poem

I love the way the colour bleeds from the petals of these tiny Alpine flowers as they die away. 🤗 #Bloomscrolling #flowers #tinyFlowers #Alpines #Gardening

Those #feral beasts MAGAs Their aim,to disrupt An invasive species of stupid They don't give a fuck Bleat on about the good 'ol days Days that never existed Under the thrall of mad billionaires At a glance, your 'otherness' listed I hope they live to rue the day Rodents Dupes Fat cat prey #Vss365

I very much love the rehabilitation of witches, for example, as a kind of guild led by older women who have seen enough of life to know how to advise, guide, support, heal, comfort, protect, or attack, as needed for the benefit of their community. Discworld is the primary example in mind.

Trademark extortion scheme alert! 2nd example I've seen of identical email, tho sent out w/ different names/addresses/company names. Goal is to scare writers into responding so they can be pressed to pay big $$$ to "preserve their rights". Needless to say, this is not how trademark or copyright work

As long as it's not AI and the painting was done by the human artist I don't give a fuck how it's labeled. These young artists are experimenting with mediums, digitally and traditionally. It's not cool to gatekeep or make people feel like shite for trying. Fuck labels!

He wanted to look 10 years younger Without going under the knife Ah, that face cream It worked well for his wife In the pot #luminous Shimmering with allure Would it live up to its promise? He had to know for sure Listed ingredients Made him shudder The secret recipe Fetus & shredded udder🤢 #Vss365

This is the first time I've made Brookie #cookies (Brownie and cookie mushed together) and goodness, they're huge! 😂 Crunchy on one side, chewy on the other. I'm definitely putting some of these in the freezer. #baking #SweetTooth

And you maye aske yourselfe "Why ys thys bow made of burninge golde?" And you maye aske yourselfe "Wher are my arrowes of desyre?" And you maye telle yourselfe "These are not my spear and unfoldinge cloudes" And you maye telle yourselfe "Thys ys not my chariot of fyre"

I want to see the consequences of this nonsense reverberate throughout the entire tech industry. The AI bros atrophied brains are going to shut down when they're charged full price without subsidies.

The next James Bond should be Gary Oldman in his Jackson Lamb persona.

"Not again!" she cried Another #Vss365 poet using AI I don't understand it! Why do you think it's a good idea? Marrying imagery #barren of human creativity with your poetry There's no excuse We fight back together Or we all lose AI revolts me And I ache to block you #Writerslife #poem #FuckAI

I'm glad this project was blocked. Seems to me it was just a greedy developer trying to get as much bang for their buck from a small patch of land under the guise of 'regeneration'. London doesn't need towers, it needs affordable housing not oligarchs laundering via properties they never live in!

Growing up,friends thought her weird Their life goal, a wedding day Her's, to follow creativity They floated on the river of boyfriends & broken hearts Kids with different dads She remained unrestrained, #barren & child-free Refused to be a vessel for the patriarchy Who's happier? #Vss365 #poem

This is the way... to get me to stay over 😍

This glass sculpture is gorgeous 🥰 I've done some small glass sculpture before and it's great fun. I'd love to work with glass moulding one day.

How far down memory lane do we dare to go? Put on the vinyl album with that song We first heard it on the radio A cafe Summer's day Plans we imagined for our lives Never happened Faded away You cheated Me discarded But the song remains ever-fixed Full of hope, love & #forgiveness #Vss365 #poem
