Between creating art i do this kind of stuff. (Random, I know.)

Brittany Pierre @brittanypierre.bsky.social · 03/12/2024

Still really proud of this piece. It's for sale if you want it. Make me an offer. "medula OBLUEgotta" inspired by Matisse's blue cut outs.

I've been working on painting signs from my favorite spots in Houston and I'm almost done with the one in my profile pic and I'm super proud of myself because it actually looks good.

Well shit. I'm itching to get back into photography. And that just means more money I have to spend.

NEW: "Moving Off X: An Open Letter from UK Journalists" UK political journalists: "Twitter was, for a long time, the place to be for UK politics. We believe that time is now over... "We have taken the decision to move over to other platforms, in particular Bluesky" docs.google.com/document/d/1...

We have used Twitter – now X – for many years. It has been a resource for story-gathering, network-building, and a megaphone for getting public-interest stories to a wider audience. And it has been a well of ideas and discourse.
Unfortunately that well is now poisoned.
All of us have seen X become more toxic and broken since Elon Musk took over in 2022.
Feeds have become less useful. Engagement has plummeted, except for those who will pay. Replies gain traction not through merit, but through the corrupted blue-tick system.
We have seen hate speech and abuse deliberately dialled up and amplified, boosted not just by the algorithm, but by the owner himself.
And England’s racist summer riots were one of many factors suggesting to us that X is not a neutral platform, but a space that now seems to glorify misinformation at a great cost to our public sphere.
Millions of people are ditching X, and we are doing so, too. We have taken the view that it is no longer a useful tool for objective reporting, but a weapon being wielded by a narrowing ideological set.
A tipping point is coming. Perhaps we are already in it.
After much consideration, we have taken the decision to move over to other platforms, in particular Bluesky. For some of us that means instantly deleting our X accounts, for others it is a more gradual process.
But we are all putting the majority of our efforts into building more constructive online spaces elsewhere for political dialogue and reporting.
Bluesky is becoming a new hub for political discussion, and we encourage other UK journalists to join and become active. We are already seeing far higher engagement on our posts there than we’ve seen recently on X.
And importantly, the mechanisms to limit abuse actually work.
We enjoyed Twitter while it lasted. It played an important role in shaping many of our careers. And it was, for a long time, the place to be for UK politics. We believe that time is now over.
Twitter is dead. Long live Twitter

During my nap yesterday I dreamt that as I was cutting out my locs that had grown super long (I cut my locs a few weeks ago because they were really unhealthy) but there was A HUGE TARANTULA LIVING IN THEM??????

The worst thing about your off days is when you don't set your alarm but you still wake up like you're going to work.... Like damn, let me sleep in!

I have faced fascism before, in this very country. I was one of 120,000 Japanese Americans summarily rounded up and expelled from our homes at gunpoint, all for the crime of looking like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor. I spent my childhood behind barbed wire. My parents lost everything. 1/

I'm also on a really random side quest that's gonna take like 3 years but if I can do it I'll finally make my sister, niece, and nephew really proud so that's all that matters.

While I had to step away from the nft space not only for my mental health but also to make sure I kept a roof over my head, I noticed a lot of people saying i quit or gave up. I don't understand that. I needed to make sure I was good. Because no one else would. Anyway. I'm still creating.

I have to admit. Bluesky is proving to be just a regurgitation of twitter with all the threats and bigots and racists. Was hoping for a safe space finally. Kinda why I dialed it back on here. I get enough of that shit on twitter.

I think I’m gonna finish this painting tomorrow which is a “derivative” of the ai generated piece to the left. Get at me if you want to reserve it.

It’s wild to me that people get upset for people protecting Black women in a time where we are the most harmed in the world. If a callout warrants you to act like this I don’t know what to tell you fam.

This took me entirely too long to do with no model or anything. Definitely gonna get better at making my own models.

b(lue) morning Do you open new tabs on your phone just to have three open and get surprised when they are open because you forgot you were looking up something so you close all 76 tabs but then remember why you had them open so you have to reopen them all? Just me?
