Two years ago today: atmospheric perfection over rural Oklahoma. I'd have believed in gods too if I saw this before knowing what it was. #photography

It's a good reminder that she views every purchase, every penny that goes to her from her IP as an endorsement of her views. Like, cut her off, make Warner Bros and universal doubt their continued business with her

Gonna just say, if it's this easy to protest against the monolith that is Disney. Then there is no excuse for people to be clinging to Harry Potter. Like, if the needle can be moved against Disney, people can make it move against JK Rowling. Stop the flow of money into her accounts,

I really need you guys to internalize this. Government and corporations ripped Kimmel off the air for lightly badmouthing their behavior. Coordinated pushback by us is what forced them to cave in and put Kimmel back on air. Again. The fascists caved in *due to coordinated pushback.*

Firefox users! Right click on any page, mouse over "Ask an AI Chatbot", and click "Remove AI Chatbot" to nuke the feature into orbit! I'm assuming they see statistics about how many people have done this.

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars. OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

I started writing Anger Ham in 2018 and I never expected to be working on it for this long. lol it was supposed to be a quick joke project, but it got out of control. The silver lining of my old harddrive dying is that I had an opportunity to change gears and rein it way back in. 💢🐹💢

Please spread this information people, don't let Pay Pal dox you.

AI advocates have warned that if every author in the class action filed a claim, it would "financially ruin" the entire industry.

Enough people said they wanted to see the final slide deck, so I took the time to put it on my non-teacher github so I could share it. I didn't end up getting in trouble. I ended up being encouraged by a colleague to share it with my dept chair, and he liked it authorblues.github.io/lecture-slid...

A reminder had me thinking again about artist work and I made this little info thing 🎨 Too many people think of commissions as 'buying a product' rather than what it actually is: A service by the artist/Work for hire ✍️🐻 #Oldbearcomics #TheBearMinimum

I thought I turned this off months ago, but the damn chatbot is back. I love firefox, but this is ridiculous...

A lot of my friends are visual artists and they're struggling/are concerned about protecting their work from #genAI. This is a good overview of the things they can/cannot do in this area. @digelsrud.bsky.social

Well, it took something like 8 months, but she's done! I don't think I hit the mark on some of these suggestions, but screw it, she's cute and I love her. =)

Happy International Cat Day, have some super cute Chinese cat paw rope knots. 🐾

Hey, remember when I started that "make a dragon" meme like... months ago? I'm almost done! Ngl, it's pretty cute. I'll have another couple designs to show off soon, too. >w>

github.com/laylavish/uB... Massive Ai blocklist for Ublock Origin. So your image result on several browsers can be 90%, or so, Ai-free. (Block also tons of Ai generated crap blogs and "websites").

re: generative AI I have finally fully and accurately explained my problem with how it’s marketed and used. And now, you can use it, too.

Me, watching all these cool art fight pieces roll in: you're busy. You're exhausted. You don't have the time or the energy or the patience. Don't you do it, girl...! (Swats own hand reaching for login page)

Tiny, colorful baby scallops — a total cuteness overload in one dish! You might think, “This person posts the same creature every year!” But honestly, seeing the same life return year after year is something truly wonderful𓂃🫧‪

Only on the darkest arctic nights can you encounter this Primordial Pokémon. It manifests as aurora and ice, gently towering over the pole's frigid denizens... ✨❄️🧊 (There are 12 kinds of Pokémon in this #art! Can you find 'em all? Some are well hidden. Have fun & don't give away answers! 💕)

what do you mean 'normal tools'?

artist tip. it is *harder* to recover from burnout than it is to *avoid it* in the first place. if you're prioritizing and managing your own healthy work habits, it will mean *dodging* that burnout.

Hey, so it's my birthday - that means I get to drag my projects in front of your face, right? I don't have much, but I'm looking to update my comic and start posting my fanfic's sequel later this year, so... wanna read what I've got?? Links and descriptions below <3

Calling all Pokémon trainers! Name your favorite 5 Pokémon of all time! 🦄 Rapidash 🐉 Dragonair 🧬 Mewtwo 🦭 Primarina ❤️ Venonat 🎵 One of these things is not like the others...! But frankly, Venonat is probably the cutest of all pokemon and I will fight and die on that hill. 😘

Ok, I'm putting this out there to make it real: Anger Ham's anniversary is on November 17, and I'm setting a tentative goal to be able to start posting Chapter 3 on that day. There are a few variables that could get in the way, but... I'm gonna try!

A basic worksheet for evaluating character design when you’re looking at narrative media (or real life). For help or the same sheet in pdf format, just ask

FREE ADVICE: so, there's a filmmaking concept called "business." "Business" is, essentially, the stuff your character does while talking. Fixing a car engine, ice skating, eating an ice cream cone, ducking gunfire. You gotta give your characters "business" so they're not just standing there yappin'.

Somebody asked me about my fire process so here is a mini tutorial. Hope it helps you out!! #artref | #arttutorial

Indifference is compliance. You need to give a shit.

btw if you're so petrified of doing a bad job that you can't even start, then what you need isn't advice on how to make comics. you need to learn to embrace being messy and bad at things and being okay with that because it's necessary, and actually it's GOOD. being messy is WONDERFUL

Because i made this dumb video about being Gender Evil and people thought it was funny. I'm still surprised how often i see #nonbinary people call themselves gender evil.
