Gentle reminder that it's always ok to say to an artist you asked for commission their price are in fact out of range for YOU. But please don't ghost or tell them it's too pricey, even worse harrass or belittle them, art is a luxury and most of us are in fact underselling ourselves.

Stop hate watching propaganda made by Nazis, I beg of you all. I feel like a lot of right wing outlets and pundits would’ve gone under by now if not for the attention their opposition gives them for free, giving them more content to feed off of. They rely on you, stop feeding them ffs

Also, speaking of ableism, maybe if you don't know a person, don't tell them what is or isn't hard for them to do. You don't know their situation. What might seem an "exaggeration" to you could be the best they can do, maybe even just that day. Also, if it doesn't affect you, why you care? Lol

Japanese used bookstores are reporting a massive uptick in bulk purchases of used Japanese books by overseas buyers, seemingly without any regard to their contents. The only logical conclusion is that these books are being stripped, scanned, and discarded to train AI models.

Friendly reminder that Duolingo was initially concieved to trick people into translating articles for free, which they later used as training data for MTL algorithms. Duolingo's primary purpose has NEVER been about teaching you a language, even from the start! slate.com/technology/2...

If it doesn’t charge users and, so far, doesn’t serve them any ads, how does Duolingo make money? It tricks you into working as an unpaid translation service. At the end of some lessons, Duolingo will ask you if you want to practice by translating a real-world document. Which will turn out to be, say, a BuzzFeed article. By melding together enough stabs at this task from high-level Duolingo users, the app can render a surprisingly accurate translation. Which is worth good money. So far, Duolingo has contracts with BuzzFeed and CNN to translate stories from English into languages such as Spanish, French, and Portuguese. This service is already earning Duolingo hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, but von Ahn predicts he will be adding a raft of new clients soon. “The language translations market is huge,” he says. “It’s a $30 billion per year market.”

i was told never to see my autism as a disability - that whole thing of "it's an ability" or "don't let it define you" or "its a superpower". it's none of those things. it affects how i interact with and see the world. i am disabled and that's okay. #digitalart #comic #disabilitypridemonth #ableism

a 6 panel comic. the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th panels are diagonally cut in half, which may make them difficult to read. the 1st and last panels are whole.
panel 1: the author crouches as if rising to their feet. they wear a green, red and yellow jacket, a white shirt, black cargo trousers and grey trainers. they hold the corner of a dark grey flag. an orange text box in the top left corner reads: "It's easy to think that you are broken when you're disabled, especially if you can mask".
panel 2: we see the authors feet, legs and the opposite corner of the flag they hold drooping down, showing muted stripes of red, yellow, white, blue and green.
panel 3: the authors stands with their head bowed and arms over their shoulders. they have a flag corner in each hand and motion as if to hang the flag on their shoulders.
an orange text box over both of these panels read "You can try to convince yourself that you can do what neurotypical society demands of you. You can tell yourself you are 'normal' until that fateful crash and burn. And it's tiring".
panel 4: the author finishes tying the flag around their neck. we see a close up on the knot, their fingers and their neck.
panel 5: the author motions as if beginning to walk off. the flag begins to flow behind them. they smile gently.
a diagonal orange text box over both these panels reads "But no-one is a robot. Disabled bodies have their own limits".
panel 6: the author walks away with their back to the viewer. we can see the flag in full, which is the safe disability pride flag. an orange text box in the lower right hand corner reads "So, if the community will accept me, it's time I found mine - I need to drop my mask completely. I am disabled and that's OK".

tell me, what the fuck does autism look like? it's called a hidden disability for a reason, my guy - we look just like all of you. #digitalart #comic #disabilitymonth #ableism

a four panel comic.
panel 1: the author stands on the right, facing a grey figure on the left. the author wears a red jumper. the grey figure has a bubble above it's head, which reads: "Oh! You don't look autistic!" the word "look" is highlighted in red.
panel 2: the author stands on the left, facing a grey figure on the right. the author wears a red jumper. the grey figure has a bubble above it's head, which reads: "Oh! You don't look autistic!" the word "look" is highlighted in red.
panel 3: the author stands confused and worried. a text box above them reads: "I used to be confused by this. What did they expect autism to look like?" the word "confused" is highlighted in red.
panel 4: the author leans towards the viewer with their eyes narrowed and their hands on their hips. they frown and look suspicious. a text box above them reads: "But ableism is like any bias - it's far easier if you don't look the same as them". the words "easier" and "don't look the same" are highlighted in red. a phrase on the bottom of the panel reads "It's easier to dehumanise". the word "dehumanise" is highlighted in dark red.

the more exhausting part of listening to my body is accepting my limits. sometimes, some of them line up with different medical conditions, which can be a revelation of sorts. i am no position to diagnose myself though so i don't encourage it. #digitalart #comic #disabilitymonth #ableism

a four panel comic.
panel 1: the author stands awkwardly, carrying 3 soft balls of different colours. a green one reads "autism", a yellow one reads "anxiety/depression" and a blue one reads "c-ptsd". the author wears a white polo shirt, black leggings and black shoes.
panel 2: the author braces as another soft ball drops onto the pile they carry. it is orange and reads "adhd".
panel 3: the author sweats and grimaces, struggling to hold the four soft balls. a wobbly speech bubble reads "T-This is fine..."
panel 4: the author looks up as a teal ball is falling down towards them. it is teal and has 4 question marks on it. shadows indicate this is a low angle that is looking up. a speech bubble from the author says "Aw, fuck-".

+1 Achievement! Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. no joke, this is how i was diagnosed. #digitalart #comic #disabilitymonth

a four panel comic. three panels show the author in beige pajamas sitting cross legged with a laptop. the last panel shows a close up of their face with a shocked expression. details are as follows:
panel 1: a speech bubble from the author says "yeah, my ADHD bitch ass just cannot, lol". a note in brackets says "not diagnosed". a speech bubble from the laptop says "oh? tell me about that".
panel 2: the author gestures with their hands and expressions as speech bubbles with scribbles inside suggest listing off symptoms that coincide with ADHD.
panel 3: the author looks at their laptop. a speech bubble coming from the laptop says "oh! that actually is ADHD, lol".
panel 4: the shocked author appears with a lightning bolt behind their head and looks shocked. a note in brackets reads "now diagnosed". a small speech bubble from the author says "o-oh".

a single illustration of the author as a child, teenager and adult. they look up with vacant expressions and a single tear coming down their face. a black gradient background shows negative phrasing clustered all over. three speech boxes read, in descending order: "When you're told something multiple times over and over and over again, you start to believe it".

a two panel comic. in the first panel, a grey feminine figure sits at a desk with files in front of her and her hands clasped together. she gives a creepy smile and looks ahead of her.
in the second panel, the author (as a teenager) and their father sit on the otherside of the desk. the author has a black school uniform with a neon blue and green tie and purple glasses. their hair is tied into a low ponytail. their father has greying black hair in a low ponytail, a white work shirt with a blue tie and a work ID on a lanyard. both look annoyed and share a thought bubble which says "this is just fucking ridiculous".

Black and white photo of Dolly Parton smiling. Text below reads, "Remembering Dolly Parton".

Two photos of Dolly Parton smiling. Quote from Lambda Legal CEO Kevin Jennings reads, "Today we lost an icon, both in entertainment and for the bold, consistent support she showed the LGBTQ+ community and everyone living with HIV. Long before it was easy or popular, Dolly Parton told our community that we belonged, and she meant it. She lent her voice and resources to the fight against HIV and AIDS, and stood up, time and again, for the community she embraced as her own, all with the humor, warmth, and grace that made the whole world fall for her. We extend our deepest condolences to Dolly’s family, her friends, and the countless fans whose lives she touched. We will always love her.”
