Don't hate-watch these - a view is a view for streaming platforms. Ignore them, let them rot away with low engagement. It's one of the earlier tests to prove that people (hopefully) just do not want AI-generated animated shows. Shame on The Book of Life's creator for selling out too, what a blow.

Today is an absolutely infuriating day for creatives, but don't let the sell-outs detract you from your own endeavors. Make that drawing. Write that story. Support your favorite artists. And tell the AI shills in your life where they can shove it.

yikes :(

⚠️B o y c o t t ⚠️ I'm sharing this to make people aware of it, but I'm serious about the boycott. Do not hate watch. Do not pass go on any of this garbage. They are LOOKING for views and reviews.

Part of why the "become obsessed with a blorbo to improve at art" thing is true is because they'll make you do shit you normally might not even try Blorbo is a knight in a fantasy series? Welp I guess I gotta learn how to draw armor now Blorbo has a mech? Welp I guess I'm drawing a fucking mech

You can learn how to write better than AI. You can learn how to do art better than AI. You can edit without AI. You can make a grocery list without AI. This, for a disclaimer, is a general statement. If you are looking for solutions to lessen AI and you're not being cheeky about it, I'll help.

Beginner list of to stop using it. 1) Don't use Google Docs. It's completely ran on AI by this point. Opt out of google search as well. 2) Don't use AI websites at ALL. 3) Any app that offers it, opt out or don't click the "beta" AI stuff. 4) Protest Data Centers.

I learned a lot about Kojima today. Nothing positive, btw. 🙃🙃🙃🙃

Topical.

STOP TELLING ME AI IS THE FUTURE OH MY GOD

This is a great video, explaining the nuances of race in the animation space. It's also well produced, researched, and entertaining. Worth a watch! youtube.com/watch?v=IUdB...

When people ask for shipping supplies recommendations I do not hesitate to link refuseuline.com Quite literally I just reference this, there are so many options that are better and not evil.

Eternally relevant:

This is a monstrous bill. Just horrific. And it's progressing, so the time to call is now.

New way to view these Data Centers that are draining the communities they implant themselves in... draining resources for slop

Cw personal Hi so some of you noticed I was sort of inactive on here. I think I'm ready to explain why. It is family drama instead of anyone anything did. Cw for drama and suspected abuse. DO NOT REBLOG. This is very personal and I need to write this out to avoid caving.

This is SUCH a good metaphor for AI. The gold is an illusion that turns to ash and it has a hugely destructive impact on a business.

LRT - I don't care that you reclaimed it. I don't care if you use it in passing. Don't you fucking dare call me or anyone in our community a well-known slur that has added nothing but grief in our lives.

I mean it when I have a zero tolerance policy about the r slur. You throw that shit around with me within earshot? If I'm feeling generous I'll politely tell you not to use that word, but otherwise I'm dipping cuz I don't wanna hang with people who think that's a fine or funny thing to say.

First Raffle Artwork of three, for the lovely @justamcr0w.bsky.social, who placed second in the art raffle on my alt! As they requested here's Juri Han from Streetfighter!

Remember to write just "Illustration" and not "Commission" in your invoices. Cheeky Euphimisims aren't enough. Self policing language sucks but, for now, you're a speakeasy.

So something happened that hasn't happened in almost a decade - I'm scrapping an OC. It's not like groundbreaking as to why, but I'll put as a thread so I can just ramble. FYI, it's Beryl.

I keep my Tomodachi life file pretty private since it's mostly self indulgent, but Corbeau fucking loathing crepes with his entire being sent me.

My rent goal in case anyone wants to commission or donate 💖 Even just a boost would be cool, maybe someone will want to buy my art?

Oh here's the link to what numbers to call. 5calls.org/issue/lgbtq-... This bill is EXTREMELY dangerous as an older queer who had to live through this law. This is serious business. I don't care if you have to call after hours to guarantee a voicemail but fucking CALL

pencils down! Vicente Gonzalez and Henry Cuellar of Texas, Don Davis of North Carolina, Cleo Fields of Louisiana, Laura Gillen of New York, Marcy Kaptur of Ohio, Marie Gluesenkamp Perez of Washington, and Eugene Vindman of Virginia.

Hi so Utah used to have this as a mandated law (still might aftually.) When I was in hs, a teacher of ours outed out a trans student, nearly getting that student killed. She had NO reason to do this. This WILL get kids killed. Make sure to call all your reps to get this shot down.

Also. To replace B&N online shopping and also Amazon @bookshop.org has been my go to. I quite enjoy them so far. Part of what you spend shopping with them even goes to a small local book store too.

I can't put it better than this. Continuing to patronize their storefronts after this shifts the Overton Window as to what is acceptable for bookstores to stock. We should not allow that to happen.

Well... this is some grim news to add to this. If you do opt out... you're removed from the feed.. I'm at a loss for words. There's no current way to opt out according to other creators and when you are able to, no one will see your stuff. Fuck AI.

Yep, as someone from Colorado, Polis has been showing signs of selling out for the last year since I've lived here. This was a LONG time coming. He needs to be kicked out of his seat for literally saying that voter fraud is alright. This was a really good first step and totally deserved.

At this point, it's less about disciplining Polis. He's made his decision and has chartered his course. But Colorado Democrats need to remove him from office if only to put fear of God in any other Democrats thinking of following in his footsteps.

Boycott Barnes and Noble. Loudly. Right fucking now. www.independent.co.uk/arts-enterta...

"Made it with AI" Invisibly appearing over my head:

So wondering what fucking bullshit this was, I found out Voxmedia is partnered with OpenAI. This is legitimate propaganda for pro AI. This is absolutely disgusting.
