Fuck AI

🧶 #ShowMeYourKnits lace week www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib... This pattern has been my Next to Start for about a year! I kept sneaking in other things 🤦🏽‍♀️ This year I am determined: I will finish the Idris sweater then start the shawl, and switch between that & my 2nd xmas sock.

Show of hands: who would be interested in a not-social media based directory website of artists who pledge to never use AI in their process? Is this something you would share around to everyone you know? Something you'd very much like to be listed on?

Survey data shows that 49% of UK and 44% of USA residents “like” or “love” dinosaurs. By my estimation this means that there are approximately 184 million potential customers for my new book. So far 32 people have pre-ordered their copy… so we’re almost there 🙃

Genuine question for pro-AI people: what DO you want to do with your life? Because it sounds like you don't actually want to do anything that requires effort, ever, and I think you need to consider that you are clinically depressed.

They are here!!! Look at these cuties!! 🥰💜🩶🤍 thank you so much @anxietyfox.com

PSA for UK shoppers! Etsy is now listing all prices with p&p tacked on for UK viewers. But multi-item orders will NOT be charged postage per item, only once as normal. Look underneath a listing price to see item price + postage seperated (only visible once you click on a listing). #Etsy #artShop

hi guys I know I haven't been very active lately, and I don't talk about where I'm from often, but the government made some really scary announcements today so I thought I'd share to let everyone know what's happening. here are some posts from twt for context

BRAINS is just $1 for the next day, you can snag a digital copy of my 40 page comic about the joys of thinking and perceiving and BEING a human instead of so-called AI doing all the thinking for us. It is a love letter to the brain (and hate mail for the AI garbage) (shares appreciated!)

The pronoun labeler, which was by far the most useful labeler on the site, was deleted by its creator. But thanks to @ripperoni.com there’s a new one available. I highly recommend it. It’s a great way to share your pronouns or see someone else’s pronouns at a glance. bsky.app/profile/pron...

@anxietyfox.com Yessssss!!!! I cant wait for this to arrive! 😁

A made-to-order elephant sculpture that recently flew the nest, and three little ones just added to my shop today! :) All made from paper mache and air dry clay, and painted using acrylics with a sand effect medium.

Hey Pintopians! There's 200+ of us this year, so I thought it'd be a great idea to see who's here on Bsky. Let's do an art share! Here's what you'll do: 📌Show some ART (not just the link) of your pins in the project! 📌Tell us a little! 📌Give us the link for where to back it! 📌Add alt text to images!

"My husband complains about the cold," the man said. "Can you teach me a spell to keep him warm?" "I can teach you to bind hair into a net to catch heat," the wizard said, "using arcane counting and a pair of fine wands." After a while, the man said "Isn't this knitting?" "This, too, is magic."

I've created a shop on @teepublic.bsky.social selling some of my designs as shirts and hoodies. They've got a really nice range of clothing available. Hopefully they are a better alternative to Redbubble after I jumped that ship earlier this year ^^'

I wanted to make cute umbrellas, but suddenly realized I need to finalize the order... now?? But I dunno how many to order! So to help me out, you can pre-order before Jan 14 to get 20% OFF! Pre-order here: birdietam.art/collections/...

Dragon doodle for a lovely customer who ordered a signed copy of my book ‘Welsh Monsters & Mythical Beats’ with an additional custom sketch. I’m so glad my first artwork of the year got to be a Welsh Dragon 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 #dragonart #welshartist

I just found out that our stuff is being sold on Amazon - WITHOUT our consent or any ability to opt out bc Amazon is just scraping artist’s websites and putting our shit in their search results. Again, without our permission.

Spend £2 on this unique zine made by me and then raid your yarn stash and end up with a unique scarf made by you. AI couldn't take the photos I took or write the text I wrote for me and it can't crochet for you either 🧶

#ShowMeYourKnits floof! I have a question: #knitsky, how do you manage / prevent / maintain your floofy 🧶 knits when they like to pill and shed? Is there a trick I'm missing or is it like cat hair: accept its all over everything and move on vs perpetually lint rolling everything!

Caturday weekly roundup 3 nas-puddles & 1 hairball.. so hopefully that's it passed and well have a few good weeks to come. Bijou got her annual shots this week, nearly bunnykicked the vet but refrained and was told she was the perfect patient!

Happy #gotchaday Bijou #adoptdontshop #everydayiscaturday This 5.5yr old kitten has been with me for 2yrs now. Which is not long at all; yet I barely recall a time without her incessant curiosity 🥰😹 Her hijinks this year: getting into all the cupboards, and bringing home various new friends.

Belated #caturday fortnight roundup 1 nas-puddle (i fear ive missed some) Got 7 claws clipped in one sitting! 3 still to go. She may be reclaiming the bed as her spot again. Bijou has brought a 2nd rattie & 1 wormie friend in. A sensitive, restricted, diet seems to be helping keep her tummy settled

(Belated) Weekly #caturday roundup 2 nas-puddles, 2 brushings done. get a small rodents worth of fluff off her when she's brushed; no wonder she's hairbally. 1 bijou-hairball (~1 a year), 1 dead rattie friend. Anti worming tablets done, anti flea tablets to go. Toes to be clipped.

🧶 new on my needles @pet57.bsky.social 's Idris sweater. Love at 1st sight, nabbed the pattern when she kindly made it available for free - thank you! - and just had to knit it next. Using JCBrett Emotions in shade Love; apt, huh! Already halfway down the yoke in a day

Fortnight caturday catchup (cos i have been 🤧) 4 nas-puddles; that 3.5wk streak was doomed to end. Couple brushings a week too which is helping & she's being playful, hunting toys at bedtime. Bijou is being very chatty, chompy and chasing toys around the bedroom at 5am!

Cats and how they've changed my life. I'd like to share with you, dear friends, a bit about me and my story. I'm sure many of you will relate.
