Just today I was telling someone that it's okay to have or start an infrequently updated blog, if you make an interesting post twice a year or whatever that's awesome, just don't apologize about it and I still think never explain or apologize for your posting schedule is my best piece of blog advice

Utterly deranged.

As a science fiction writer I really fucking resent tech bros for ruining the phrase "artificial intelligence." 80 years of it being all about cool androids and interesting computers destroyed by five years of "Spicy autocorrect making everything shittier for money." NEVER FORGIVE.

This has been said to death but I'll just say it again: if you're in the creative arts space stop calling your art "content". Call it "work"! Calling your art "work" shows it's the result of time and skill. "Content" makes something sound like it has no purpose other than to take up space.

watched this on repeat losing my shit for two nights now

I finally found it again!!! The greatest Ranma 1/2 fanart ever made!

a daily struggle.

ok i got a lot of replies to this on tumblr but this is the best one ^^

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

If all the worst people can live without shame for their destruction, then the good people should have no shame for creating.

when we mourn le guin, we mourn one of our greatest writers & thinkers. but we also mourn one of our all-time greatest haters

Some suggestions for notebooks in pocket format that are NOT Moleskine. It's a thread 🧵 ⬇️

I don’t “network,” I make friends. Other artists are not my competition, they’re my beloved peers and sources of inspiration. We all have the same goal; to share our art. I’m not gonna corporatize my human relationships with them. I am in my sandbox playing and I hope they join me.

The affect of a well-intoned "dude, what the fuck did you say?" Is truly remarkable. People all the time say "I want to be an ally, how can I help?" And most of the time the answer is just to call out gross behavior.

i think you gotta spend at least a good chunk of time writing stuff that makes you think simultaneously "i'm the beautiful genius of the universe which feeds its wisdom unto me entire" && "i'm the baby clown laughing stock of the cosmic playground; the moon of my jester hat rotates eternal about me"

potentially this is why other artists tend to ‘get it.’ you dont put in that kind of time on something unless it has completely enveloped your heart. i think other artists tend to recognize that because they have felt it too

The two truths: 1) There is nothing wrong with porn, let people safely make it, let people safely enjoy it. 2) If you let people define porn as bad, authoritarians will ALWAYS expand the definition until their hands are around your neck.

A little cat in a raincoat character for a request thread ✏️ (definitely in my wheelhouse XD procreate)

imma say something controversial, depending: this attitude is exactly what we need on almost every fucking level, and the overwhelming liberal desire to Not Look Like a Bad Person is one of the biggest reasons we are in these messes in the first place

also, and i cannot state this enough, fucking around is actually critical to finding out

REALLY excited about the possibilities moving forward. not in any particular category just thinking WOW there is so much existing that is right around the corner. wonder what it will be? wonder how i can make it better? so many small choices just waiting for you to improve the timeline a little bit

They're just lil guys! 🐇🌿

a couple of quotes i wish i saw when i was 15 or 16--

focusing on skill doesn't make your art better or make you like your art more. the most miserable self-loathing artists are often the most professionally skilled. what makes you like your art is whether you actually like it, it's that simple. and if you don't like it, make something you will.

I need every single person who runs a discord, game server, community, whatever etc; this is so fucking essential to keeping the peace. If someone sucks, just kick them! If they make weird comments or have bad vibes, boot em! You have zero obligation, bureaucracy helps no one, go with your gut

I don't normally subscribe to the "German has a word for it" thing because all languages can invent and borrow new words! That said, I can't stop thinking about "hobbyless" as an insult since I saw it a few days ago, so here you go It promotes a growth mindset!! www.tumblr.com/abbiistabbii...

I don't want gen AI in my browser I don't want gen AI in my pc I don't want gen AI in my art I don't want gen AI in my games I don't want gen AI in my music I don't want gen AI in my movies I don't want gen AI in my books I don't want gen AI in my cart I don't want gen AI in my life

I've said it before: I genuinely consider it a moral imperative that people my age and up bang the drum about what the Internet used to be so those younger know that there's nothing inherent about what it is now. The Internet doesn't have to be this; its culture can and has belonged to people.

It's pretty bad that this is the second time in a year I've had to write an "open letter" like this, but hopefully it's the last one. I was going to go further and post comparisons of all the hypocrisy out there but I'm going to go back to making porn. An Open Letter to the NSFW Arts Community:

YOU ARE AN ARTIST WITH FREE WILL. YOU CAN DRAW YOUR FAVORITE THINGS. YOU ARE AN ARTIST WITH FREE WILL. YOU CAN DRAW BAD AND ITS OK. YOU ARE AN ARTIST WITH FREE WILL. YOU CAN TRY DIFFERENT MEDIUMS. YOU ARE AN ARTIST WITH FREE WILL. YOU CAN DRAW YOUR FAVES FUCKING NASTY. YOU ARE AN ARTIST WITH FREE WI
