Second week in a row I've noticed lowered hours, so I'm going to be looking into new employment while possible. In the meantime, it'd be greatly appreciated if something's spared to help cover necessities, or share this out. Anything helps these days. Thanks in advance! ko-fi.com/esperarts/go...

With alt text.

GenAI is a tool of fascism. Don't use it.

Big tech is pushing AI to:
Destroy art/artists because they may inspire resistance
Censor knowledge by manipulating search results
Make young people/students dependent and unable to research, write and think critically

Don’t just say DEI as if it’s a bad word. Spell it out. Say diversity, which is the lifeblood of American society & culture & innovation. Say equity, which a just society should pursue. Say inclusion, because decent people believe in increasing belonging, not isolating people who are different.

Absolutely livid and scared. It's at the point where I've come to realize the roommates intentionally dealt me a losing hand, and can't contribute to them anymore in time, and will ultimately lose electricity on the 24th. While they have somewhere to go, I won't without the help of a friend. 🧵 (1/?)

This "not thinking" thing while whittling away at something of a ref sheet for my PNGTuber's coming along well. Sure, it requires some thought to tighten things up a bit so it doesn't look like something oozed all over the page, although I'm not fussing over it in general. Good sign!

Unfortunately, art bots/retracers have made it to blue sky. If you see art accounts with weirdly generic styles and wild varying layouts, with traced over anime/furry art, who keep requesting you to dm them on twitter or discord for commissions, straight up block them

Reactive images of a base Mag set up for when I'm available for co-hosting/collabs over Discord. Will I make custom evolutions for it? It's really tempting! Depends on the spoons. These cuties took about four hours and change once I really got into a flow for them. #esperarts #digitalart

Please stop making images with generative AI, even if its a joke to show how twisted the images can be. All you're doing is making the usage numbers go up, which looks good to investors, and says "this thing is still profitable" Just don't.
