You’re tired, so I’ll protect you. Your claws feel dull, but mine are sharp. #chiluverart #vent

no one ever has you can't fight city hall clipped in good quality and due to its relevancy i need to be able to link to it roughly every day that im alive so whatever i'll just do it.

"RemoveWindowsAI" is a script created by zoicware, available on GitHub, that does exactly what it says: it remove every AI feature in Windows 11. Do what you wish to do with this information. I'm sharing this because some folks are forced to use Win11 at work or other places for any reasons.

"Art-valuing patrons with Vatican-level coffers don't exist anymore"

I was interested in the Mega Man Robot Design competition up until it said it was taking submissions on X/Twitter and for as far as I can tell, no where else. I love Mega Man and all, and it's cool they're doing this competition, but nope, I'm not going back to Twitter. F that.

growing up all I heard was "hippies were dumb freeloaders on drugs!" then I became an adult and realized they were just protesting shit like the Vietnam war and it was purposeful reframing to make their concerns seem irrelevant. "peace and love" hits different in the context of napalm on children

Tip: Request 3 pictures from 3 different angles and all of them have to have a visible paper with specific text on it. If any of the damage changes even a LITTLE refuse the refund.

Babe. WAKE UP. It's time for tables.

I think it would be fun if writers who love language started intentionally writing more strangely as AI flattens written "content" into a mono-voice. it would cool I think if writers responded by focusing their individual efforts on cultivating a really unique voice that's hard to copy

If you are of a very specific age you now have Rammstein's "Engel" stuck in your head

Every time someone posts to cite a law that the current US administration is breaking, it feels exactly like this:

there is a deeply "console wars" quality to arguing about what medium is best for Art or Stories. creative people dont approach that decision from a neutral overhead position. whatever they want to do painfully boils out of them and whatever bucket they are used to operating will be what catches it

There are so many people living lives of quiet dignity despite horrific medical news or poverty or tragedy where every day they still wake up and try to be good people in the world even as the world pushes against them and it makes me even angrier at the absolute shitheads that rule over things

An auspicious day

you say "Kingdom Hearts Trilogy" because you see the series has three integer-numbered entries I say "Kingdom Hearts Trilogy" because thanks to a whole lot of enthusiastic writers, I am used to a trilogy being any number divisible by three, up to and including 9, 27, 3... we are not the same

So hey. I kind of had a bad, bad spiral yesterday. I'm sorry about that. The world is wearing at me, a whole lot. But I want to reassure you all that I'm not in any immediate danger, to my knowledge. I'm just very unsuited for dealing with the pressure I've been under.

I'm hitting my breaking point. Nothing gets better. I still need help. I think I just posted an "update" that was just a depressive cry for help. I don't know what to do. Nothing gets better.

An easy way to explain luddites: Textile manufacturers brought in machines that could do in an hour what would have taken 12 hours by hand. And then, tried to keep paying the now 12x more productive workers the same wages as before. That's it, that was the problem luddites had. Not complex.

my ass is cooked im streaming this soon lmao the bazaar but touhou fangame probably means its best in class at what it does

The internet being down for 24 hours here really made it clear that if there ever were a zombie apocalypse, I'd probably just lay in bed the entire time until they got to me because reaching out to the outside world would be too much work

Time to invoice the telegraph for using my illustration, I guess

Happy Brak friday to those that celebrate.

me when i'm trying to move forward but I didn't realize I hit enter to chat

I think they should hire a real artist to paint a new mural, with intentional titty kangaroos

need to get bad-ended for stress relief

If you're THAT desperate for furry game, remember that there's tons of indie furry devs out there who are making them with love and passion. Don't feed the Corporation Slop.

To add: Folks who need mutual aid are allowed to have fun. They're allowed to have joy. They need positive things in their lives that are more than just survival. If you feel like poor people should just suffer all day, feel free to block me and piss off forever.

networking is an incredibly important part of maintaining a professional presence in your creative industry, but it can be daunting. have you tried being completely fucking ridiculous online

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

Every time I get an email or read a post about how "AI is inevitable" and so you need to do X or Y to get ready for it, I screenshot it. I've saved them all. When the bubble bursts, I'm going to be a menace. I will be unstoppable. I will be taken to prison for the harassment I am going to do.

spoke with the executive director of my local food bank today and got this really incredible line: "if you donate 1 can of green beans, we can give away 1 can of green beans. but if you donate a dollar, we can give away 6 cans of green beans"

I am so sick of rattling the can. But I have until Friday. One last spiked hurdle, and then it's just... treading water until things can settle.

Once again, my version is no less authentic than the original.

Most people don’t know that with SNAP you are banned from buying “foods that are hot at the point of sale”. So even if you have SNAP (which people don’t now) you can’t get cooked food. Which means you need to also actually have the resources to PREPARE a “healthy” meal.

I love how every part of this is more wrong than the last. Eyepatch Wolf covered the "woke" but "0% microtransactions"? Nah fam we got MACROtransactions. Play dirge of Cerberus! Play Crisis Core! Watch Advent Children! Play Ever Crisis with its microtransactions! Wait, fuck.

Things that will make me buy your book: • Nothing. I don't buy books, though I do support local libraries and read things that my friends suggest to me The lesson to take from this is that you can never please everyone, so focus on pleasing yourself and the people who largely want what you do.

mutual aid literally saves lives. sharing someone's request for aid? just do it. don't question it. just share the post, guys. you have no idea whose life you could change [for the better] by sharing a simple post. it's okay if you can't donate, the shares & boosts are worth so much, always.

I will no longer be taking feedback on my hater energy for Mr. Beast

*taps the sign*

The whole thread 🧵 for this is really good: eldritch.cafe/@Tattie/1154...

I need every beginner artist out there who thinks their work isn’t good enough to know that in this AI-poisoned environment seeing your raw, human art gives me fucking life. Any imperfection born from a living soul infinitely trumps whatever “polished” slop they’re trying to force feed us.

Remember to be considerate tonight while trick-or-treating!

Hot take of the day: I'm actually okay with the 6-7 thing. They found a way to irritate old people, and I'm all for that.

A reminder that if you see someone stealing food NO YOU DIDNT

youtube decided they're gonna ai upscale sd content by default and if you have a youtube channel you should turn that shit off

This is a harder pattern but you can get through it if you hug the right and just weave up and down as the balls spread out. Good to save a bomb for this one if you can.
