it’s come to my attention that my tumblr post has been crossposted to bluesky, so I’m posting it on my account here #AntiAI #GenAI

recently my friend's comics professor told her that it's acceptable to use gen AI for script-writing but not for art, since a machine can't generate meaningful artistic work. meanwhile, my sister's screenwriting professor said that they can use gen AI for concept art and visualization, but that it won't be able to generate a script that's any good. and at my job, it seems like each department says that AI can be useful in every field except the one that they know best.

It's only ever the jobs we're unfamiliar with that we assume can be replaced with automation. The more attuned we are with certain processes, crafts, and occupations, the more we realize that gen AI will never be able to provide a suitable replacement. The case for its existence relies on our ignorance of the work and skill required to do everything we don't.

Sweet bleeding Mithras y'all, I get being an unhinged Astarion fan, that is one messed up guy, I like him and I don't usually have time for vampires. But you do realize that he's, like, pretend?? And that someone can have a different take on who he is or his story, right?

a lot of parenting so far involves thinking up exciting new pitches to compel the child to do mundane tasks such as: “you can take a pumpkin to the bath. this pumpkin is uhhhh so dirty. it needs a bath just like you” and that’s why there’s a still a tub pumpkin this morning

Did you know? My old manager at Meow Wolf is married to my new coworker at Gunfire.

I sent a peepo gif and it was not well received.

Pretending the days after Sept. 11, 2001 were some kind of gauzy Hallmark special when we came together as a country is nauseating and ahistorical. The country went completely insane and has not recovered

It’s about time we had a reckoning with the need so many writers feel to over-explain everything aspect of their stories, even in non Weird genres. Readers don’t need to be babied. Let us figure things out. Leave room for interpretation. Over-explanation makes writing worse.

silly comic about nothing in particular

Panel 1: an anthro dog says "After managing to secure a publisher and years of nonstop work, my dream to make Barky & the Red Balloon is finally fulfilled!
I hope my personal experiences shine through and somebody out there feels seen by my story!"
Panel 2: several youtube thumbnails demonstrating people *not* getting the dog's story. They read "How Barky RUINED B&tRB", "Barky & the Red Balloon was ALMOST good...", and "FIXING Barky & the Red Balloon!"

If Dolly was our constant reminder that it was Good to be Good, Tim Curry was our reminder that it was Good to be Weird. Embrace your strangeness, sing with Muppets, wear your lingerie with a leather jacket, and fuck with uptight people who hate anything that makes them remotely uncomfortable.

This sounds like a bit but I assure you it is not: One of the most important things Dolly Parton did, in addition to the millions of dollars in charity and support for marginalized communities, is be an icon that showed women can be beautiful and have big ol' tits and ALSO be brilliant and strong
