how do rightoids reconcile their constant griping about 'why don't we build cathedrals or compose symphonies or make masterworks anymore' with their contempt for creativity and artistic expression? like probably the reason we dont compose symphonies is because *You* got the society *You* wanted

Would you wear this? I’m obsessed with this one! It’s so cute, and I love the shapes and all the fluffy details. I love a great cropped jacket 🥰

Ooooh, this is gonna be a mess www.thebookseller.com/news/editors...

I despise with the heat of a thousand suns the way I have to be suspicious of all art I see now while I investigate it's authenticity, because this couldn't be more diametrically opposed to the state of mind one should be in while taking in all art.

I don't want to shoot videos I don't want to post tutorials I don't want to show my process I don't want to pour varnish I don't want to turn my canvas I don't want to record my screen I don't want to cultivate parasocial relationships I just want to make pictures and shitpost

Its not a hot take but man the way the word "content" is used these days. A vile bit of late stage capitalist propaganda, lumping all forms of human creativity and expression into a single wastebin teaching the public to treat all art as disposable.

The way profit maxxing corpo culture has invaded every form of art through algorithms pushing people into daily posting is really weighing on me lately. Efficiency and regularity of making "content" being prized above all else feels so grim, man.

Wait wait I havent told you about the best part! Disney just fired 1000 of their employees, mostly artists, and replaced them with AI that copies their art. What a time to be alive, fellas!

Embroidered book covers, fashionable in the 16th and 17th century, the art of embroidering unique covers for books saw a comeback in late 19th-century England, via the Arts and Crafts movement.#womensart #WomensArt

Yet again, we see how YouTube enables theft and fraud to a massively audacious degree. YouTube is focused only on distancing itself from the predation riddling their platform but they *are* responsible for it. They allow it, they make it easy to do, they ensure it can be done with no repercussions.

I’ll use all the commas and dashes and whatever the hell else I like. Regurgitative AI didn’t invent writing styles, it *appropriated* them, and I sure as shit won’t cede a single shred of my writing to the thing currently stealing it.

“If you use <insert grammatical pet peeve here> then I know your writing was done by AI.” Cool, and if you use AI paranoia to try and shame a writing style you don’t like, then I know you’re a bit of a cunt.

The great Kaffe Fasset and two of his knitted designs. This man a one of my knitty heroes. His use of colour is astounding 🧶 #knit

I've severe writer's block for years. Was working on a novel when an old injury flared up & took forever to recover, & I lost the ability to concentrate. Been trying to get back into it & it's been tough. Never once considered using the plagerism machine. I want MY writing to shine, MY ideas

As someone who feels like I am moving at a snail's pace right now--compared to being able to write two books and a novella or two a year a decade ago--you might wonder, have I ever been tempted to even think about using AI to speed the process up? The answer is not even fucking slightly.

Lovely Sunbird, a traditional natural history illustration in ink, pencil and watercolour is complete! This little guy is endemic to the Philippines!

It’s done! My #quilt I’ve been working on for so long, is finally completed. I wanted colourful, and warm and to utilize some scraps. #quilting #Art #Underconsumption

The top is finally complete! All that’s left is quilting and binding. She wasn’t a fast one to make (all templates) and it’s far from perfect, but I love how it turned out. #Quiltsky

There's nothing worse than a sneeze that gets stuck in your sinuses and will not release. You just rear your head back, languishing between life and death, praying it comes out, while a single tear rolls down your cheek.

Ngl, he's pretty hot. 🔥😍 Too bad it's Jared Leto. 😕 I have complicated feelings about it.

I don't wanna hear shit on April Fool's day this year. We're traumatized and burned out. Let this day just be another day.....😒

"The color is repellent, almost revolting; a smouldering unclean yellow, strangely faded by the slow-turning sunlight." I made a "Yellow Wallpaper" piece back in 2017, but I re-read the story over the weekend and wanted to try again. Much happier with this version 🖤

If I said "Hey, give me a dollar to tell you a joke" and then I took all of the dollars people gave me and paid someone to punt a baby, would you give me more dollars or would you tell everybody I was a fucking sicko that paid people to punt babies? That's Harry Potter now. Simple enough for you?

Oh, and since I was being general in a lot of this thread, let's be crystal clear: Rowling uses her fortune to harm trans people. It's her passion. It's her legacy. She funds legal actions and anti-trans groups. She hurts them. You can't write that off on your taxes, buddy.

This whimsical painting of two black cats in a simplified architectural setting is by Danish artist Inge Schuster.

wouldn't it be funny if EVERYONE blocked this Attie AI account @ bsky.app/profile/atti... before they could do anything with it

I feel like people who want to pirate the new HP show and brag about pirating it to "stick it to Rowling", never actually cared about trans people, they just want to virtue signal

How could you ever trust anything she has to say about morality, kindness, fun, imagination, and love when she herself is so devoid of it all? She's a mediocre liar when it comes to all of that. I can't watch the show & actually see past the gross fingerprints of that monster all over everything

What kills me are the people saying they'll pirate the show (piracy still benefits JK Rowling) But like... Why would you even WANT to pirate it? Why would EVER want to watch it? How could you genuinely enjoy it knowing it was made by a psycho who is actively influencing governments to hurt people?

You cannot separate the art from the artist when the artist is still alive and profiting directly from the art.
