Life advice for the ages. Those doing wrong want you tired and hopeless. But stay angry. And when a chance is in front of you: bite back. Digital plans for a real linocut. I'm anxiously awaiting a press to make this stuff possible with my RSI in my hands. #art #tiger #resist #linocut

The image is digital art made up to look like a two color linocut print. It features a geometric twisting snarling tiger. It's flanked by the text "Stay Angry" and "Bite Back" that follows the contours of the tiger.

Extremely frustrating to tell someone how hard the job hunt is and be told “just go out there and get something.” Yes they are a boomer but come on, I’ve told them how the current application process works, and what a mess it is.

I’m going to need so many more pins. These are only half the headbands I’ve made, and none of the scarves. And I do this in shifts. #knitting

I wonder if enough media people respond like this we might be able to move some kinda needle somewhere

an email that reads:
I understand you are doing as your job requires, but please never
email me again about anything Harry Potter. This PR enables deadly
transphobia and I want no part of it.

When we hate on these disgusting immoral evil billionaires it’s bc just look at everything Dolly did. They could be doing that. They could just be helping people and every day they choose not to help people. They choose to harm. And when they die, we’ll dance and laugh and be thankful they’re gone.

Remember J.K. Rowling isn't sorry. She will never be sorry, they want her to shut up so they can squeeze as much money as they can out of the HP franchise. She has done unreemable damage to the trans community and will continue to do so under the radar. Keep boycotting her shit, it's working.

There is no good use of generative AI because the technology was built on theft of creative labor. If that position surprises you from an artist whose life's work was scraped and used without permission to train trillion dollar technology, educate yourself. www.michaelwhelan.com/faq/#digital...

We've seen some questions pop up around layoffs: "well, if they were laid off, didn't that mean they weren't doing a good job? Maybe they deserved it." And on its face, that sounds logical and legitimate. Because the opposite would just be pure cruelty, right? ...Right? ...So here's the thing.

JK Rowling has said, more than once, publicly that people consuming Harry Potter means they support her. And her transphobia. She uses her vast wealth to do very real world harms to trans people, and in particular...trans women. There is no ethical consumption. None. It's that easy.
