fires do not “smolder underground” for a week after being put out lol. framing the palisades fire as being caused by arson and not structural incompetency is a convenient narrative to spin for Karen Bass and the LA county board of supervisors isn’t it

Infinity Castle in DBOX is like microdosing a rollercoaster for 155 minutes

the girlboss ig account posted some bad pro ai take by Reese Witherspoon earlier today, naturally I left a sarcastic comment, got a notification that it got a bunch of likes, went to see the post and it was DELETED 🤣

maker train of thoughts are like 🚂 wanting to sew a corset but playing Spiritfarer instead ➡️ google how to make linen ➡️ “oh I could 3D model and print a loom” ➡️ “wait what about making leather from kombucha scoby like I said I would last week” ➡️ “and cyanotype on scoby” ➡️ “scoby linocut?” 📍sigh

working on a hunter x hunter upcycle of my boyfriend’s old stans. practice run on paper first ft. kitty

just finished Pantheon and this is how I feel about sam altman praising the show

From the archives… a pair of beat up stan smiths revived with some ghibli-inspired customization ✨ #kikisdeliveryservice #leatherpainting #upcycling

q for digital artists and graphic designers: Is inkscape’s trace bitmap function significantly different from the trace tool in Illustrator? if the vectorizer in the Adobe Capture app is the same as the Illustrator tool I am not impressed. I prefer vectorizing from scratch but it takes so long 😭

ok I’m trying to find ~community~ on Bluesky bc Instagram sucks. I’m an artist/writer/maker based out of LA, hoping to find others who are struggling to grow their social media presence and want to support each other 💖 here’s some stuff I’ve made over the past few months

OMSI has the most balanced statement on AI I’ve ever seen. Now I want to move to Portland again omsi.edu/explore/copy...

Cassette Beasts is an awesome indie game (with amazing couch co-op gameplay) made by a teeny tiny studio committed to not using AI. I’ve been illustrating, vectorizing, digitizing, and embroidering some beasts !!

the proliferation of gen AI and people’s indifference to it makes the world feel like it’s not worth living in anymore

This is the key to understanding our very, very broken economy.

I hope the world just ends soon I’m tired

Used to work for a former friend (thiel fellow)’s fintech startup - daily sexual harassment - fired right before I could vest equity (not the first woman in this situation) - cofounder repeatedly said he wished a woman who was challenging them legally for not giving her cofounder credit would die

it’s actually such a crazy experience to get laid off from a small business and still not even get so much as a text, message, or god forbid a helpful LinkedIn recommendation from people you thought you were close to

why does it have to be a “man page”… is coding actually sexist

LA freeway graffiti 👀👀👀

thanks to these stupid fucking LLMs we are at a state of collective cognitive decline where no one will question when a factual statement is called an opinion

I have a theory about aliens observing us and interfering before we blow up the world but idk

This is why the “peaceful protest” distinction does not matter - the pigs will fire at you & beat you either way. All you’re doing is playing into the state’s narrative of “good” vs “bad” protesters. You cannot guarantee safety but it’s on ALL of us to look out for each other

the cheeto puff guillotine is giving me life

Join us Sunday, June 22 for A REALLY, REALLY FREE MARKET in East Hollywood. Our city’s politicians spends billions on 🐷s who aid 🧊 and tear communities apart. We know the people in power are not coming to save us. They’re the ones waging the war against the poor and value property over people.

yeah I like waymo waymo ice agents afraid to go to work
