ppl on tiktok are going "omg we're about to have an art renaissance like in the 1920s, music and stories are gonna be great" girl how 😭 you already don't support the artists that we have right now and most of yall are using chatgpt and devaluing actual human-made artwork.

I actually like trying. My progress is slow but it is mine.

Hi everyone, We aren’t receiving funds quickly enough for our current spending. Remember: if we do not raise enough, we will have to potentially cut thousands of people off from the Internet, during Ramadan. Let’s not let this happen. bit.ly/eSimsRUs #ConnectingGaza

#Superstitions Around the World In #Russia, stepping over someone, no matter the body part, without doing the action backwards to undo the effect is considered bad luck. People believe that the person you stepped over will stop growing. #artsky #artshare #illustration #whimsical #kidlit #kidlitart

Here’s one of my favourite article+art pairings from last year - words by Alex Parmar-Yee, art by @salpalc.bsky.social 💛 The “people like me can’t be trans” myth is still deeply internalised. I believed it myself. This piece gave my first insight into this experience from non-white perspectives.

#Superstitions Around the World In southern #China, especially where there are #fishing ports, flipping a #fish instead of removing the bone to reach the meat on the other side is considered bad luck. This is because it resembles a #fishingboat capsizing. #aapi #artsky #artshare #illustration #台山
