The intertwined, insular way AI companies fund themselves (and each other), means that moves like this could unintentionally cause a collapse. SoftBank is still interconnected with Nvidia btw. There are consequences to every action, foreseen or otherwise

I have to pay for new glasses etc so if anyone wants a commission I have 1 slot available. If you're interested please fill out this form: docs.google.com/forms/d/1yOp... (I need to finish 2 other things before I can start on yours tho)

Moon Opal portrait 🌙 Commission for Melville Icicle.

It’s time for Speaker Johnson to cut the ridiculous excuses and do his job. Adelita Grijalva won an election more than 6 weeks ago, and she still hasn’t been sworn in to represent more than 800,000 Arizonans. Read her op-ed:

Lovely illustrations with lively colors! Check out Sayada’s work!

This year has been exhausting for all creative people and it's normal to feel burned out or unmotivated, because the daily grind is consuming us. But be kind to yourselves, get plenty of rest and come back whenever you're ready.Your mental health goes first

Told y’all about Yamamoto. You heard it here fifth.

Here it is, your obvious way to start organizing: FOOD BANKS NEED *YOU*. Encourage your friends / relatives who can afford it. Shop just a LITTLE EXTRA where you can, and give it to your local food bank. Be the driver who collects from the neighborhood and delivers to the bank. foodfinder.us

Beginners , you don’t have to maximize your art practice to get better at drawing. You can just draw sometimes. It doesn’t have to be good. You don’t have to learn a new skill with every piece. You won’t get “left behind.”

I try to keep posting art but I don’t have the motivation when so much is fucked up. I’m drowning, and seeing other people below the surface makes me sink even deeper. I agree with the sentiment that people still need art. I do. But I can’t do it anymore and what would it matter anyway?

I try to remind myself that the burning hatred I feel towards all that is disgustingly evil, is evidence of my honest love for humanity. I’m not alone. Most of us care about each other. But if you voted for any of the conservative politicians currently destroying everything, go fuck yourself.

"Innocent, sweetly phrased requests are now silent, oppressive demands. What happens when there is nothing left of me?!" #sketch #sketchbook

ESPN’s breaking news segment will be brought to us by DraftKings. Hope it all falls on Silver’s head for allowing gambling to become so entangled with the league.

I’m excited for the Suns’ season. :)

Fuck the colors of my art are terrible on any screen but that’s how it goes with digital format. Don’t know whether to trust my phone adjustments or calibrated laptop screen. The difference is huge.

I had to give up oils because the I have an allergy to common binders and I still don’t have a large enough space for ventilation. I can’t grip pastel sticks anymore because I have arthritic thumbs (thanks gaming). So my two main mediums were lost and I’ve been frustrated ever since.

:0 Ohtani is a cheat code. Damn. Him, Yamamoto, and Sasaki are just incredible talents with Yamamoto being particularly mesmerizing to watch if you like awesome pitching. I just hate the Dodgers. Just like how I want Luka to win a ring, but he went to the fucking Lakers.

Got hammered by a microburst yesterday. Strong winds and hail, there was 0 visibility and when it cleared enough to see, the trees were down everywhere. A while ass strip mall lost its roof and people are displaced. It’s wild what a 10 minute storm can do.

Rainy Saturday and the perfect cup of tea. 💕 Working on my scarf again yay! Nearing the end of the main pattern and then I’ll make the edging, which isn’t included in the pattern, then block and (please Jess) take good photos.

*sniff* it’s ok Mercury, I’m still proud of y’all. I always have been. 😭😭😭💕 Facing a dynasty in the making with A’ja Wilson (who many people consider the GOAT now) is a brutal task.

Been watching the MLB playoffs and the Blue Jays looked incredible nearly sweeping the Yankees. NY looked surprised and unfocused making all those mistakes failing to throw the ball quickly to tag the runners at base. I thought they would have left that in the regular season.

He put in Escape Room: Tournament of Champions. It’s ok. It ain’t bad. Three stars.

Sorry sorry i shouldn’t be back but Raphael Saddiq should be in the convo for best lyricist as well

People say they wanna talk singer songwriters and then don’t bring up Mariah Carey and i think that says something about our society

I’ve tried everything y’all. I get the itch to draw a couple times a month, but I can’t paint at all now. Guess it’s time for my usual dry spell.

Ohhoho I love these. Peak kitsch. The second pair 💕🔥

Day 3 zamtober ~ a spooky one (it was rly hard finding the reference I wanted so I just made shit up lol) #inktober

Your body is not supposed to look the same throughout your entire life. You’re supposed to get stretch marks and wrinkles, you gain and lose weight, and you’re going to look old because you will get old. Accept this. Keeping up with your health is hard enough without the added pursuit of “beauty”

Quote with your pink art 🩷

Zooming in on art is always worth it. I’m trying to be more intentional in how I interact with art by taking more time to really look at the image and understand why I like it. If I can articulate it, I comment. It means that I engage with much less art, but it always makes me happier.

Painting in progress. ❤️ #art #drawing #illustration

I’ve been practicing making crochet bags for a couple years, and they are starting to come out ok (need more experience adding lining). Decided to give this one a try! I purchased a kit, but the pattern by Stephanie Lau is free online. - - www.allaboutami.com/breezy-days-...

I’ve been working on stuff. Since “retiring” I have reverted to my “it’s gets done when it gets done” attitude. I am in no rush to finish but I am pushing my skills and learning a lot along the way. And I’m understanding that not every concept needs to be fleshed out and brought to completion.

My greatest achievement is making my husband a horror fan. He would not watch a single horror movie with me, but I got his ass with Carpenter’s “The Thing.” He’s bugging me about watching every movie this month lol. Gonna make a jar and we each put in four movies and randomly pick one.

Shout out to the international peeps that like my early morning posts. ❤️

Yeah, we quiet over here, but we love y'all. These publishing streets are rough these days. October marks Black Speculative Fiction Month, and we're thrilled to drop TWO issues on you in the coming weeks. Updates soon come. Anyway support some Black creators: go.bsky.app/VSHmC2p Follow, share, BUY 🔥

Happy Bisexual Day everyone! I haven't drawn anything new this year, but I still like these pieces I made over the years. 💗💜💙

Did you know I have a section just for my spooky items? zambicandy.storenvy.com/collections/... ☠️👻🎃🏚️🕸️🦇 #halloween #wwdits

HOW TO TOUCH GRASS is a comics anthology reminding you that the only thing we need to win is each other. 🌾 🤝 ✨ Only 3 days left on Kickstarter: buff.ly/ROsqvvJ

I have FIVE large-goal, successfully overfunded and fulfilled Kickstarters under my belt. This week I'm staring at what might be my first failed campaign. We have until Friday to raise around $50k. Please share. 💜👍🏼 www.kickstarter.com/projects/pow...

Yes please, more early morning thunder!

Sign your name up for a protest if you want. If you’ve ever protested, then you’d know why that’s dangerous, especially to people with targets on our backs by default. Fake ass playing pretend activists arguing with good, SAFE advice? FOH

Now that I have a computer again, I want to finish my blog-type website about my art practice, including not so glamorous aspects like making art through depression or feeling lost through my “journey.”

I’m sorry about my dirty mirror and overall commitment to posting the most unflattering photos of myself on the internet. Here’s is my scarf progress! Halfway there

I only have angry wrinkles on my forehead and nowhere else so now my RBF is 1000x worse. My great-grandma always looked grumpy for the same reason lol. She was sweet, but also experienced much trauma that her face probably couldn’t hide. Still, she was kind and warm. She’d cuss a mf out though.
