On Sunday, me and two other women outed our abuser on IG. I created this art because people seem to believe in paranormal entities and aliens over women and survivors. I urge all of you to unpack your own misogyny and believe people when they tell you who someone is to keep our communities safe 💜

I had such a busy, but incredible weekend!! Friday, I participated in the Love Hope Art’s annual fundraiser competition where we have 40 minutes to complete a piece that will be auctioned off. Then on Saturday I taught a Gouache Workshop. Everyone’s pieces turned out amazing! 💖

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN. ☎️: (202) 224-3121 Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid. The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING. Call retiring Senators too!

While I recognize and appreciate the uses AI has for the disability and medical communities, I still think it is important to consider alternatives when generating AI “art”. There are environmental and ethical implications when generating images. I see a lot of AI being used on here.

A chart titled “Number Crunching”. First column says 500 ml ChatGPT needs to Drink up to 500ml of clean fresh water for a simple conversation of roughly 20-50 q&as. Next column states Microsoft’s San Francisco data center is estimated to have used 700,000 liters of clean water to train Open AI’s GPT-3 model. The training had an additional off-site water footprint of 2.8 million liters due to electricity usage. Top column says GPT-3 has a combined water footprint of 3.5 million liters in the U.S., which would have risen to 4.9 million liters if trained in the Asia-Pacific. Underneath states, The new launched GPT-4 is likely to have a significantly larger water footprint. The next column states Warehouse-scale data Centers where most AI models are trained and deployed, collectively account for 2% of the global electricity usage. Next column says Google’s self-owned data centers in the US consumed 16 billion liters of fresh water- 90% of it potable-for on-site cooling in 2021. Last column says Microsoft’s giant data centre complex in North Holland consumed 84 million liters of water in 2021, at a time of severe water shortages.

First graphic says AI programs are trained from billions of images taken from the internet, including artist’s original and copyrighted works. 2nd graphic says Getty Images began legal proceedings in January 2023 claiming, “Stability AI unlawfully copied and processed millions of images protected by copyright.” Last graphic title “AI Wins Contest over Human Artists”- in 2022, an AI generated artwork took first place in the Colorado State Fair’s annual art competition.

I have seen so much elitism and apathy towards red states. Especially in regard to Appalachia and rural America. It’s incredibly disheartening.

It appears as though we won’t be escaping this sentiment any time soon.

A hand is holding a sticker against a white background. The sticker features an illustration of a groundhog holding a knife. He is surrounded by pink mushrooms. There is text that reads "Fuck Around and Find Out."

While Trump “floods the zone,” we must stay focused. NO to oligarchy, tax breaks for the rich and cuts to working class programs. NO to authoritarianism and unlimited power for one man. YES to growing the union movement and raising wages. YES to health care as a human right.

I’ve blocked so many AI “art” accounts today. It’s incredibly offensive as someone who has spent their life and money on building skills to see people who are “supposedly blue” use it. Use original art and credit the artist!
