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.

Happy 72nd Birthday to Ruby Bridges, who at the age of 6 desegregated the New Orleans public schools. She’s younger than 30 senators and our last two presidents—and only 7 years older than Barack Obama. The past isn’t past.

“this person is bad so their work was always bad” is also a really dangerous view to take because it leads to - unconscious or not - a bias towards “but I do like this other person’s work, ergo they must be a good person” which, as we have seen over and over, is simply not true

A generated picture is not a photograph, full stop. If a photograph is manipulated (excluding the nuances of camera settings/processing incl. focus, aperture, brightness/contrast, etc), it is no longer just a photograph For me #photography is a true representation from a real perspective.

Resisted the silly urge to call over, "You can't park there!!" as an Amish neighbor showed up yesterday to ask for a (car) ride to a neighboring town. Unfortunately, neither of us had that spontaneous time to take him. He was eyeing *my* white "horse and buggy" that was parked in front of the house!

The image is of a four panel comic.
Panel one shows a giraffe tripping on a rock. The giraffe says “woop” as it stumbles.
Panel two zooms in on the giraffe’s face. The giraffe is sweating in embarrassment. We see a thought bubble above the giraffe. The text within the thought bubble reads, “that was embarrassing.”
The third panel shows the giraffe closing its eyes and munching on leaves reassuringly. The thought bubble above the giraffe reads, “but no one will remember.”
The fourth and final panel pans to an elephant staring at the giraffe from behind some bushes.

Sent them the following:

To whom it may concern,
I have proudly supported Amnesty International my entire adult life, but reading your retraction/apology for the "Growing Threat Briefing" has me sick to my stomach with fear and disappointment. In a moment of mask-off genocide against transgender people, you have capitulated to the demands of the groups funding that genocide rather than stand with the vulnerable minority they seek to eradicate. Reading your letter today, which adopted the language of the "gender critical" movement that is leading this genocide, felt like how I'd imagine it would feel to read a letter from the Lemkin Institute apologizing to Nazis for not taking the "Jewish Question" more seriously. It's a dark day in history when trans people can't count on Amnesty International to stand up to the deeply entrenched transphobia that is unambiguously stripping transgender people in the UK (and worldwide) of their fundamental civil rights and human dignity. Your statement today puts you on the wrong side of history, and reveals your previous advocacy to be hollow and toothless. It is with great regret that I am ending my household's donations to Amnesty International over this shameful abdication of your duty.
In grief,
Dr. Theresa Tanenbaum

The Missouri Attorney General is threatening librarians with arrest over an LGBTQ+ story hour for kids, suggesting that a picture book about gay dinosaur dads is "pornography." The Secretary of State says he'll pull funding if the event happens, citing the state's new age verification law.

Boone Regional Library in Columbia is hosting a “queer-led story time” directed to toddlers and preschoolers, with time to “meet new friends” afterwards.

We’ve sent a notice to the library reminding them that providing pornography or sexual material to minors is against Missouri law.

Happy #NationalMothWeek! The mascot for NMW is the Io Moth, Automeris io, a spectacular member of the #Saturnidae, the Silk moths. Here are a few of my favorite #Photos of one of my favorite moths 🥰 The last photo is a Female, which are much darker than the males. #Moths #MacroPhotography

A photo of a male Io Moth from above as it rests on a white sheet. The moth has yellow/orange wings, the forewings are marked with a dark irregular spot about in the middle, and a wavy dark band along the trailing edge. The hind wings are bright yellow, with an orange band, then a thin black band, then a large dark eye-spot with a lighter center. There is orange fur-like scales along the sides near the body. The head and body are covered in yellow fuz, and the moth has feathery antennae.

A photo of a yellow fuzzy Io Moth from the side as it rests on a reflective metal surface. The moth's legs, head, and hump-like body are covered in bright yellow fur-like scales. Its antennae are feathery and held close to the body just above its black eyes. The palest reflection of the moth can be seen in the surface it rests on

A photo of the head, forelegs and wing leading edges of an orange Io Moth from above front. The moth's legs (the to forward ones outstretched) head, and forebody are covered in thick orange fur-like scales. Its head is pressed between its two front legs making it almost appear shy, its feathery antennae just visible, sweeping back under its wings. Its wings are orange with some black dots and crescent markings.

A photo of a dark orange female Io Moth from above. The moth has dark orange forewings marked with a white scalloped forward of the trailing edge and some white crescent shaped markings towards the body and forewing. The hindwings are marked with a dark orange band, then a slender dark band, then two large dark eyespots on yellow. The head, legs, and forebody are covered in thick orange fur-like scales.
