"what if my art is ugly or bad?" what if you were someone's favorite artist. what if someone was inspired to become an artist because of you. NEVER stop posting your art!!

Hi friends! this is still moving through the US Congress. It’s basically an anti-trans censorship bill disguised as “protecting children” (and its worded so vague, a corgi butt could be “obscene”) You wanna do something for #TDOV ? Call your reps. Call for all your trans friends 🤍🩵🩷

I love not using AI. I love reading books written by human beings, hand-sewing little creatures, watching for bats during dusk, listening to human experts to learn about a topic. Not using AI is very fun.

i love it when people say “i’ll be back” at an AA it makes me feel like i’m a young woman named sally kissing my soldier boy at the train station before he’s shipped away and he promises he’ll be back before the magnolias bloom in spring but we both know he’s lying

"Content" is something to fill an empty vessel: it repositions your view of the world to align with corporations. Art becomes something disposable, fungible, serving a financial interest and nothing more. The word "artist" is right there; I beg you to claim it and leave "content creator" to molder
