You could have given me a thousand guesses and I still couldn't have predicted the direction this song goes.

Cis people: you need to understand that your politician's stance on trans rights is the easiest way to tell whether they will defend YOUR rights. If your politician won't defend trans rights, they don't actually have any principles. When your rights are under threat, they won't defend them either.

We’re looking forward to showing more GHOST TOWN very soon, stay tuned 👻!

I just released the Museum of All Things version 1.0!!! You can find it at mayeclair.itch.io/museum-of-al...

Fun fact: if you're buying from a creator on etsy, you can reduce their etsy selling fees from 6.5% to 2.5% by ordering via 'shopname.etsy.com' instead of 'etsy.com/shopname' or searching from the main site. It costs you the same but the creator makes more

Gonna keep reupping this post until people stop replying saying they didn’t even know the sequel existed 😵‍💫

UK based illustrators, please fill out this survey from AOI by January 31st. The UK government is proposing a new AI policy that would let AI companies freely use copyright protected work without permission — unless you explicitly opt-out. www.surveymonkey.com/r/ai_consult...

I know I don't have much reach here, but I need to try. I'm urgently looking for a job as an Environment Artist, Prop Artist, or 3D Generalist. I'm open to roles in the UK or the Netherlands. My visa in the UK is about to expire, so I may need to move back to the Netherlands soon.

Here's a Mute/blocklist of all those recent clonePuppet bots. wow, almost 70k of them. bsky.app/profile/did:...

The AI movies are embedded in the article for you to watch and they are all without exception terrible, by any measure. As inhuman as they are, I cannot stop thinking about the people so devoid of humanity that they think they've made something watchable.

Affinity Photo is the software I have used to create just about every single piece of art I've made since 2018. It would suck real fucking bad for them to integrate AI and force me to find something new to use. Hoping and praying they actually listen to their consumers and keep the software AI-free.

Hey artists/designers! Are you using Affinity as an alternative to Adobe? Worried that Affinity might add GenAI garbage to the apps? TAKE THIS SURVEY. Tell them NO AI TRASH IN THESE APPS. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Well... PSA to all the fantasy artists out there, don't work for ImagineFX anymore. They've signed a deal to let OpenAI train on their content.

okay, so. i have bipolar disorder. we have a suicide rate of about 1/5. i've basically spent my entire teenage and adult life trying not to kill myself. so with that in mind, here are my tips on how to hang in there: 1) don't isolate. i know all the excuses. but don't do it

I've been trying to process how I feel all day, and I've concluded that mentally this is where I'm at. youtu.be/AlyYBtASteQ?...

Suicide Prevention is a very important cause to me and based on multiple skeets on my skyline: 📞 988 - National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (has text chat, too) 🏳️‍⚧️ Trans Lifeline - 877-565-8860 🏳️‍🌈 Trevor Project - 866-488-7386 Or if you are in immediate danger go to the closest emergency room.

The Mr. Rogers advice for moments of crisis is a useful thing to remember right now. Look for the helpers. Look for the people organizing to protect the most vulnerable. Look for the people who have been concretely planning for how to respond, and are ready to implement. Join them, if you can.

don't comply in advance and don't destroy yourself in advance. make them do it with their own goddamn hands if they want it so bad

I'm not quite sure how things work here, but I've made an Environment Artist Starter pack with a bunch of cool people in it! go.bsky.app/2QMAYxd

I've been trying out some procedural animation using geometry nodes in Blender. This is my first experiment. 🪼 In this instance the only thing key framed is the jellyfish moving along a spline, the rest is geometry nodes.

This is what I mean when I say Hollywood is in its flop era It's not because people in creative roles have lost their mojo. It's because studios have decided that relying exclusively on IP is a business plan Ciara Moloney writes more about that here
