#OtD 18 Jan 1975 the first big demonstration for abortion rights in Italy took place in Rome, with 20,000 mostly female participants stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/8982...

Whoever called it “protagonist of reality” syndrome really hit the nail on the head, it’s so pervasive and so weird to see

The "ICE is using military tactics suited for a warzone, not for American streets" rhetoric kinda misses the point that warzones are not naturally occuring. The US military creates war zones from residential neighborhoods and the tactics are not more justifiable just because it's overseas

Just remembered I can draw whatever I want

Heated Rivalry but soccer players? Cleated Rivalry. Chess players? Seated Rivalry. 19th century dandies engaging in a bawdy battle of wits that is playful on the surface but hides a deep erotic connection between them? Heated Ribaldry.

Winter in full swing. Winter is bleak 🦊 #sciart

"A tattoo on a woman is like putting a bumper sticker on a classic car." If you've never seen an illuminated manuscript, just say so. If you've never gently touched vellum in an act of worship, you can just say that! I was down at the scriptorium and nobody knew your sorry ass!

People who were actually enslaved believed that chattel slavery would end one day. I'm sorry but to me that suggests that you [who are not enslaved in 2026] can also imagine an end to the current horrors.

on Thursday evening I did all my bills and noticed I had a little extra cash to put in my savings account. Friday morning, I pulled out of the driveway to go to work and my car was acting all janky. I had to have it towed to the shop and it cost almost EXACTLY the amount of extra money to get fixed

I'm fully confident literary magazines will survive the AI apocalypse. There is no better time to become a creative writer. You already have an inside track because most people have never even heard of these things that can never die. We will be here with the cockroaches and Taco Bell

Saw a lot of headlines saying "wikipedia is embracing ai" being tossed around tabloids, and I'm pretty sure they were maliciously written to make you feel a certain way about Wikipedia. What's actually happening is that wikipedia is demanding payment for data scraping and the corpos don't like that.

In other less horrifying news, I’ve been dabbling in block printing again. Gonna try a woodcut next.

Is there a decarceral alternative to horny jail? Cause telling someone they make you hotter than a spoon in a crack house requires some kind of corrective intervention.

Please, PLEASE remember this. 1. Animation is NOT a genre of media. Animated films/tv can be categorized as any genre, be it horror, sci-fi, family friendly, etc. 2. Animation IS a medium. It is a series of sequential images (hand-drawn, CGI, clay, etc.) that create the illusion of movement.

Happy tax season to all my UK sole traders 😔🙌 #art

LLMs are spam generators. That is all. They're designed to generate plausibly human-like text well enough to pass a generic Turing Test. That's why people believe they're "intelligent". But really, all they are is spam generators. We have hit the spamularity.

But the bigger reason that you should write and make art, is that your work is someone else's respite. You don't know who they are. They may be someone in the future. But if you have escaped into a book, or a painting, or a TV show... Someone created that. You can do that for someone else.

This Mary Oliver poem 'Sleeping In The Forest' just inspires me SO much. I want to paint it somehow. #maryoliver #poetry #ithoughttheearthrememberedme #sleepingintheforest

This photo was taken in 1911 using glass plate technology by Herbert Ponting who was part of Scott's Antarctic expedition, The composition and detail are exquisite with the band of white snow/ice creating a perfect frame around the two people and the ship in the distance Iconic imo

Cycling through the Rijksmuseum passage in Amsterdam, through one of the world’s most iconic museums. Local residents fought to keep it open when renovation plans nearly closed it, and today it’s used by thousands of cyclists every day. A truly unique piece of cycling infrastructure.
