I know the majority of you know me as Ali, but yes I do have a real name LOL. Today is my birthday and I'm shamelessly asking for your help to raise $15000 toward IVF costs. gofund.me/c71b1f912

I really need the white people who upload recipes to the internet to realize that there is more seasonings than just salt and pepper...

Hey y'all, I'm having a really tough time of things lately. My car was illegally towed, among other things, and I've just generally been having a difficult time keeping up after having been uprooted earlier this year. If you could share this I'd really appreciate it gofund.me/6bef8ef36

Muting an awesome artist because their work is triggering my trypophobia. (I had to google the spelling of that word and there was an image with it so...that sucked)

For all the new artists joining Bluesky: 🎨 You don't have to censor words such as commission, Patreon or Ko-Fi. 🎨 You can share links and your post will not be de-boosted. 🎨 You can take time away from Bluesky and come back whenever you feel like, there's no algorithm to punish you!

The depression is hitting me hardcore today and it sucks. its just a weight on my head/mind but can't i just have a good day off.

Discord really needs to fix that shit with ignored/blocked people. If i block them, I DONT WANNA SEE THE "blocked message - show message." I would rather just see people talking to themselves. I'd understand its a blocked person talking in between.

good ending #DragonAge

Top comment on Reddit sums up Larian head's defense of "additive Generative AI" incredibly well

Every person talking about AI is like "poor TomSteve. Having to do all that tedious work of slaving away making all those game assets. AI can liberate them from that!" Dude, that is literally their job.

Creative solidarity means: If you're a writer, do not use AI "art" or AI "voiceover" If you're an artist, do not use AI "writing" or AI "references" If you're a streamer/actor, do not use AI for backdrops, thumbnails, etc. Never help AI steal another medium No excuses, no shortcuts, no surrender.

"It's not actually helping but I'm forcing GenAI tech on my teams because that's just what tech has to do, doesn't it?" 🗑️🔥

I'm so tired of the artist's profession being treated as something unimportant and easily replaceable. “We're just using genAI for concept art, trust me, it'll be live actors!” I mean, yeah, artists aren't really people, so we shouldn't pay them or respect what they do... sigh

.......cool I had no idea. Glad i didn't have any intention of getting that game either.

The way I know that a lot of people don't actually care about the use of gen AI in art is that Clair Obscur used gen AI for placeholder assets and the game is still being lauded. Like Rebekah said, either the placeholder matters or it doesn't. Using gen AI for placeholder assets isn't excusable

Well, that sucks that Larian's CEO wants to take the company is a terrible direction with AI. BOOOOO! You know who doesn't use AI and never will? ME! Checkout my backgrounds for this month. Become a parton at any tier to download the whole set. 😊 #patreon #comicart www.patreon.com/posts/decemb...

Feeling upset, betrayed, and incredibly sorry to the devs, artists and all the other staff ACTUALLY WORKING on this. I actually thought they were different. But when it comes to CEOs, they're apparently all the same ... Idk if there's a way to come back from this, but this ain't it

I have...2 new story ideas 😂

Here's how to support human artists! 🎨

I really hate that pinterest is really just an AI art farm now. I wanted some inspiration for a high fantasy college setting and all its giving me is AI generated harry potter-esque garbage. 2 things I want nothing to do with. Its so fucking boring and ugly. Even with the AI settings turned off.

Me: I'm gonna take a break from making stories & characters! My brain: But what if....

I need to take a long break from characters and stories, i'm so burnt out and i'm trapped in a loop as well. I need a fresh start but i won't get there by forcing it.

Also set up a GoFundMe, but Venmo and paypal are still open and you can DM me for Chime or Zelle if you wanted to donate there gofund.me/938265b44

Niffty Mercar, my newest Rook.

I'm excited to enter my crafting era! I have so many ideas but it'll have to wait till the new year cuz...gift buying and such for the holidays

Nothing like minding your own business when your knee gives out for no reason. So anyway, my knee hurts now and i guess imma just go lie down aka go to bed and sleep.

fuck AI, fuck harry potter, mask up, and wash your goddamn hands

Character design I worked on for @radiokeg.bsky.social artbook! She's a dragon girl based on the Santa Julia wine can. It'll be sold at winter comiket!

This is a really great time to stop giving disney your money. Don't buy their merch, cancel your disney+ if you still have it. Stop going to their fucking theme parks.

I'm almost tempted to buy an electric scooter so that I don't have to walk to the store lmao. do i really wanna spend 400 dollars though.

Still looking for a small business to support this holiday🎄? The new shop is up and running! >> patabot.com 🌼

Heads up for all my art friends that have an online store.

talking to my friend about why I stopped streaming, so I'm here to say again a big Fuck You to that person who told a whole server that the only important person who should announce anything was the server's host. but also for complaining about it "in general" when i started my stream.

Them ✨👏 #ApothecaryDiaries #薬屋のひとりごと #shimao

#tarrygoround here he is again, my favorite guy
