How Your Private ChatGPT And Gemini Chats Are ‘Sold For Profit’

Look man I don’t think the people being poisoned by data centers really care if you remove the generated assets before shipping, and I don’t really care if you “only” use the machine that stole my shit and convinced teens to off themselves for internal PowerPoints. Cool motive. Still bullshit tho.

We really need to double down on outwardly stating our work does not contain AI. We're seeing it in movie credits and books, we have to start putting it on things we make and pressuring others to label their work as human made, and normalize that as much as we can, I think. stuff like this maybe

Last year, an author mentioned my shop on her substack. It changed my income so drastically that this is the spike of orders from that *one* mention last year. Word of mouth for an artist can change everything.

Yessss and I’m craving a frosty drink and a snack

Casual Bun 3D sculpt Original artwork by: @stefscribbles.bsky.social So cute!! Thanks again for allowing me to sculpt my favorite meatball-head!

Guys, do not use the Discord Checkpoint thing (Discord's attempt at Spotify Wrapped). It requires enabling them access to scrape your data, and has an alarming amount of private data being used for it. Make sure you have these disabled.

These tiny duos are now sticker sheets!!

"Imagine you stole all of the intellectual property in the world. And you're using it to help people write middling emails and make revenge porn about women, and also children. And you're powering this plagiarism and non-consensual porn machine by eating up what's left of humanity's carbon budget."

Blender is struggling. it's the best piece of 3d software on the market, and it's free. I'm not going back to autodesk. please donate if you can! fund.blender.org

Update: Along with this, I am also updating the suggestion/voting form AND the free gallery. The new free gallery will be accessible to everyone no user account needed, easy to download from and have a faves system. Did I mention free? Really excited! It will be all less hodgepodge than it is now.

BREAKING: Starbucks workers have launched a massive, nationwide strike. Baristas in 40 cities have walked off the job on the busiest day of Starbucks' year. Upwards of 12,000 @sbworkersunited.org members could ultimately go on strike as the union escalates.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

This is all I’ve ever dreamed of

ICYMI: I've proposed a rule change that would protect the ability of undocumented and disabled people to appear in court remotely, increasing access to justice and reducing the incidence of vulnerable people losing cases simply because they can't show up in the courthouse.

The USDA now threatening grocery stores who offer discounts to SNAP recipients. People are going hungry. Their benefits were illegally cut off leaving them to starve. 40% of SNAP households have children. If grocery stores & local business want to step up to help… let them.

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...

Pet food is usually not covered by SNAP (depending on where you are), but needing to cover more groceries may take up what you would have spent on it. Many animal shelters have pet food pantries, so check your local if you're struggling to feed your pets.

Our feature artist/tutorial for today is this WONDERFUL & ESSENTIAL page on the placement of BODY FAT on figures by the talented @marinscos! REAL BODY SHAPE VARIETY is a part of what makes us all beautiful, and that should be reflected in our art. I LOVE this. #ART #anime #ARTIST

Yes please! Both me and my partner are gf for medical reasons. We got a good delivery from a pantry and almost everything was gluten full. They don’t take requests for food intolerances

CLOSES TODAY!

Folks if you usually do end-of-year/holiday charity giving, consider moving it up to the beginning of November instead and hit up however many local food pantries you can afford to give to. (Check if you or a spouse/partner's employer does charity matching, too.)

News I needed.

The insulin patent was sold by Frederick Banting for $1. The Canadian who discovered insulin everyone to be able to access life saving medication. In the US it’s financially out of reach for many people. California is changing that. I hope other states follow suit.

15 US states and territories have formed a new Public Health Alliance, which will counter the absence of federal leadership by tracking outbreaks, issuing guidance, buying vaccines and more. Members of the new alliance include CA, CO, CT, DE, GU, HI, IL, MD, MA, NJ, NY, NC, OR, RI, WA.

The Alaska Native village of Kipnuk was due to receive a $20M grant from the EPA that they were going to use for flood protection. It was labelled “wasteful DEI spending” and canceled. The recent storm destroyed homes & flooded Kipnuk: www.nytimes.com/2025/10/14/c...

Art friends: Here's a tip for getting rid of *a lot* of the AI slop in your Pinterest feed. ⭐Go into your account settings. ⭐Click the "Refine your recommendations" tab. ⭐Click the GenAI Interests subtab. ⭐TURN OFF EVERYTHING. So far, my feed is *significantly* cleaner.

The petition for Rodney Taylor, a disabled double amputee being held in an ICE camp, is over 3300 signatures! Rodney has been in the US since he was 2 years old. He was days away from receiving new prosthetic legs when ICE grabbed him. He’s in solitary confinement & facing deportation to Liberia

ye see this shits not inevitable never give up in advance

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

If you can’t afford books but want to support your favourite authors - borrow and request from your library!!! We LOVE libraries and it’s a wonderful way to support both the author and the libraries who help so many kids have access to reading 🥹❤️ especially right now!

It fucks me up that most adults can't take art seriously as a medium for storytelling. Like it's considered a normal thing for adults to enjoy going to a museum and hanging a painting in their house but they draw the line at reading a graphic novel because "comics are for kids". That's insane.

LMAOOOOOOOOO Black women tried to tell you 🤷🏿‍♀️

🔮 You can pay Blacksky and Northsky instead of supporting a fully grown child in her meltdown Blacksky: opencollective.com/blacksky#cat... Northsky: northskysocial.com/profile/prod... Myself alongside many passionate people at Blacksky and Northsky encourage you to explore what we offer <3

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

Trying to finish this witchy darling for this month ✨🖤🎃🖤 ✨ #artsky #blacksky #art #witch #halloween #halloweenart #drawing

Portland enacts emergency powers of nudity to check federal overreach.

Watching Slaxx for the first time. What the heck did I get myself into? 😆

I just got a VERY interesting email that allies in congress were upset that so many of my readers were calling about the anti-trans provisions. I'm here to say: good. I won't let them throw our rights under the bus by cover of night. All's that to say, keep up the calls. They're hearing you.

Just a periodic reminder that it's a good idea to bookmark your favorite artists' sites, sign up for their newsletters, and follow them everywhere you can. (My links are in my profile & pinned post!). Because of the current climate of censorship you never know where we'll get kicked off of next.

“It’s yet another way this regime practices eugenics. By refusing disabled people the accommodations they need, they’re targeting them for elimination. People die in ICE custody every year, but we often don’t hear about them. Their stories go untold, their pleas unheard and the eugenics unopposed”

Ya'll the next reference set is SO good. 🖤💀 Straight from camera, they already slap. Everyone be sure to give @sergioxangel.bsky.social and new model Whimsy their flowers.
