I am a widow I am trans enby I'm a human rights activist POC ally AI is not art replacement Support Palestine + Ukraine Freedom Volunteer of official nonprofit organizations: trans queer youth, Veterans Network, etc And a comic artist who loves hedgehogs! THIS is who I am

Idk how many times people are gonna have to say "stop using ai it is literally killing us" before people listen. No not even as a joke. don't go near this shit.

if you're one person making a comic by yourself, don't treat yourself like you should function on the same level as comics that have multiple people working on them. your backgrounds can be squiggles and colors. allow yourself room to be abstract with details and give yourself some grace

Reminder that early Fortnite stole dance choreography from people of color and only responded when they were publicly called out or sued. That team has been telling the world who they are pretty consistently for a long time. We need to listen.

We have Balatro at home.

Sure, they've made an environmentally catastrophic mass hallucination disinformation plagiarism Clippy that will destabilize the world, but also their other goal is to replace human workers entirely and let us humans starve. A boycott of AI is the most important boycott of your entire life.

that cyberconnect2 interview was onto something

POV: you're handed this fucking thing.

I just don't need to know what the Telegraph has written about Dungeons & Dragons. It's a newspaper for people who are frightened of samosas.

rich dudes got freakier after butlers fell out of fashion, like say what you will about having domestic servants but clearly it was some sort of moderating force on old rich dudes having a fancy man follow you around saying shit like "oh dear sir, that wouldn't be very becoming"

3D printed Song Sparrow finished!

• “I didn’t watch it, but TikTok told me it’s problematic.” • “I didn’t read it, but here’s my take based on screenshots.” • “I didn’t follow the narrative, but I saw a gifset and that’s enough.” • “I don’t understand the plot, therefore the writing is bad.”

I just became aware of this incredibly relatable drawing by John Singer Sargent.

of all the things, this is really not what I want to be learning to do as I approach my 40s lmao

The death of browsing is part of the reason art is the way it is now. Our opinions are largely fed to us by algorithms. Spending a spare 15 minutes wandering around a bookstore or comic shop or video rental place was how you found stuff you wouldn't ordinarily pick up and thereby expanded your taste

Gen AI is shit 💖 Get the sticker: mcapriglione.art

What a great headline

Britain never did grow out of oppressing the Irish because the country generally feels like it *should* own us regardless of all that pesky war of independence stuff

I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.

I'm old. If you're not, listen to this. Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder. Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever. It's literally never been more important.

IMO the weird exception some supposed leftists seem to make for condemning-the-theft-of-labor-except-art-lol-steal-that-shit is just a weird intersection with puritan "if you enjoy yourself, it's not a real job" brainworms. "fun" job = member of the leisure class (ROFL) = fair game. Somehow.

I wish cis people would understand just how stressful it is when every time there's news of gun deaths, far right trolls immediately jump to social media and claim the shooter is trans, and sometimes they'll circulate pictures of random trans women they want to incite violence against.

you should buy Y0 before this btw; the Director's Cut is a markedly worse experience and isn't even done BY the director of Y0

Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

Handing back student work that’s been written by ChatGPT with a 0 followed by the comment “This essay will never stand in authentic wonder before the Beauty of God’s creation.”

“Poor people have a right to art!” They sure do. So get to it.

Every trans person who says they'd rather not be socially murdered is an "activist." Every blood-mouthed ghoul demanding our eradication is a "concerned citizen just asking questions."

There's an essay in me about this very topic. How minorities get the label of activist shoved onto them for simply asking to respected as human beings, is annoying at best and dehumanizing at worst.

Who has some extra snuggles in store? ✨

Device…hoarding. Because you don’t go get a new one while yours is still fine. Apparently I am also practicing car hoarding, house hoarding, husband hoarding, dog hoarding, computer hoarding, furniture hoarding and art hoarding.

Nobody's clamouring for AI games, nobody's mad that games don't feature AI, there's a total and utter lack of demand for it. The only demand is from business heads who think it'll save them money, audiences and creatives are rejecting it.

When ever one of those AI bros tires to tell you that artist are gatekeeping art remember that pros, armatures, hobbyist all stopped what they where doing to provide guidance to a newbie artist over the shared experience that "this one angle is hard to draw"

Hey yall not what I wanted to do on my birthday but let it be clear "Death of the artist" is all well & good but you cannot Seperate the art from the artist when the artist is still alive, a terf & every penny they recieve reinforces their beliefs & is used to actively harm Trans folks! Let it Go!

Enough time has passed so I can share my mega Froslass art! #pokemonlegendsZA

UK politics is insane to me because every time I tune in even 1% to keep appraised of what's happening there the headlines are all like "GOVERNMENT MAKES IT ILLEGAL TO WATCH KISSING VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE TO PROTECT WOMEN AND GIRLS" and then in tiny font underneath "NHS budget cut by 75% next year"
