making art in the time of AI lately i've been getting more questions (and occasionally downright accusations) of using AI in art and music. rest assured i have not and will never touch that garbage. thank you

‘The Owl House’ creator Dana Terrace responds to Disney+ funding AI-generated short form content in new tweet: “Unsubscribe from Disney+. Pirate Owl House. I don’t care. Fuck gen AI.”

networking is an incredibly important part of maintaining a professional presence in your creative industry, but it can be daunting. have you tried being completely fucking ridiculous online

Look if you don't want a ruling class made of pedophiles the easiest way to do it is to make sure you don't have a ruling class! It's just that simple! Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Going serious. Homeland 🇵🇭 was devastated by back-to-back typhoon which destroyed a lot of homes and displaced families. I am offering $10+ sketches. All profits will be donated to ChildHope Philippines, a local org providing basic needs to street children, the most vulnerable population rn 1/2

it's Native American Heritage month and I am reflecting on the fact that assimilation and colonization is what disconnected my family elders from continuing the traditions of their respective tribes. Deeply tragic how all of us lost so much in just a few generations.

Sorry to do litmus tests but I want candidates who understand and say out loud that the big tech industry is a hive of evil charlatans who get rich pumping poison into the world

wealth be upon you 🙏

My team over at Blue Rondo Games just went live with their new game Zeit Heist!! It’s a drafting game about building a heist team at the right time! My friend Monica did all the graphic design/illustrations, go check it out!! This has been 2 years+ in the making! www.kickstarter.com/projects/blu...

I genuinely believe, out of solidarity with these workers, no games media outlet should cover anything about Rockstar or GTA VI except for the aftermath of this union-busting bullshit. Fuck a review. Fuck talking about this game.

KEEP IT UP Y’all!!!

I need every beginner artist out there who thinks their work isn’t good enough to know that in this AI-poisoned environment seeing your raw, human art gives me fucking life. Any imperfection born from a living soul infinitely trumps whatever “polished” slop they’re trying to force feed us.

This couldn’t have happened without all the insanely hard working people at LGBTI Legal Service - you won’t see them mentioned much, but they made the legal challenge that led to this decision possible. They are the most under-funded org I have ever seen (yes, worse than the arts). Support them.

This Intersex Awareness Day, please know: AFAB/AMAB are exclusively intersex terms "Sex assignment" refers to the medical process in which intersex bodies are declared "disordered" & usually nonconsensually altered from their natural state via genital mutilation, hormones, &/or puberty blockers.

While the feds continue to play stupid games, SNAP recipients are set to lose food aid for the next month. In the Bay Area, a growing number of restaurants are stepping up to help, and we're maintaining the list. Share with anyone who needs it. www.coyotemedia.org/these-bay-ar...

i’m deeply grateful to live somewhere where so many people are looking out for each other, but fuck me, it shouldn’t be like this. people deserve so much better than this, and SNAP benefits are one of the few things i’m actually happy to help fund with my tax dollars.

Daily bunny no.3121 begins a new chapter

Here's the protip that will benefit society. If you have a job, you can get on SNAP. It's actually pretty nice. You may not get A LOT of money but it's at least 150$ a month to help pay for groceries. The more people on it, the more normalized it is, even if you can afford groceries normally.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP. Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP. The people who need help are not the problem. It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

We’re not going anywhere!

Funky interviewing is fun. Screw ice breakers I need to know if pigeons are city seagulls or if seagulls are sea pigeons

Isopods!! 🧡

We’ve already seen quite a few examples of ICE agents trying to kidnap someone and eventually giving up and running away because a crowd had gathered and shouted them down. That’s EFFECTIVE.

S'mores 🤍

it’s wild that this is just sort of the most openly corrupt administration of all time and they’re just allowed to do that and most media doesn’t say a word about it

ok ok last muppet render for now 🐸

It's really sad that entertainment overall has become a landlord economy. The people who own the platforms make the money. The people who provide the labor make crumbs in comparison.

Canadian friends, your government is seeking commentary on GenAi strategies and policies. Please let them know exactly how you feel about GenAi, it’s impacts, and what next steps should be! Perhaps it’s respecting artists works, environmental considerations and so on! Share your thoughts here 👇

I'm of the radical belief that artists should genuinely be kind to each other. Other artists aren't your competition, we don't need rat race mentality bleeding into the art space. We've went through A LOT over the past couple of years already so please treat one another with love and compassion 🫶

So uh. Fun fact. Blumby was shown at a punk concert in New Jersey. Thank you to @shirtholeband.bsky.social and Amanda Brewer (www.instagram.com/ambr_media?i...) for sharing my little boy!!

It’s such a light to be surrounded by such creative and thriving people. You truly can’t take that kind of creative environment/community for granted.

All hell can’t stop us now.
