#Ottawa 's wastewater surveillance site is back online, warning us that funding is gone in 2027, & asking for donations to keep it going. Premier Dorg killed funding for most testing sites in 2024 (because he's far beyond stupid). 613covid.ca/wastewater/

The more I learn and expand my circle of care the more I realize just how the colonizer framework of domination and assimilation is the rot under everything. I'm just as much a part of it, with my choices and my comforts. It may seem like im judging to condemn sometimes, im not.

PSA: Bluesky's new auto-tagging moderation stuff is a disaster. Disable it. Go into Settings on the Bluesky site and enable adult content and set everything to Warn at most, which makes posts opt-in. Hide just vanishes posts. Then go into Advanced/Bluesky Mod Service and do the same on everything.

I think it also speaks to how newer creators and hobbyists view the process differently from those who do it for work. You often see people introduce their brand new OC with 5000 pages of backstory. They don't always seem to know that for TV there isn't time for anything other than what's on screen

I guess I never got around to posting this one. This was going to be my entry in a sexy-but-SFW art collab that ended up falling through. My OC Cara doing some 80s aerobics! #80s #aerobics #sexy #commissionsopen

A young black woman posing, dancing, and stretching while wearing 80s-style workout gear. Her hair is bigger and curlier than usual, and she has a sweatband and wristbands, tights under a tied-off tank top, pink leg warmers, and running shoes. She is listening to music on an old Sony Walkman.

Every now and then, I like to do a study on the art style of an artist I enjoy. This time, I drew Mòrag and Brighid from Xenoblade Chronicles 2 in the style of @atomicmarshmallow.bsky.social Go give her a follow if you haven't already, she's great! #xenoblade #fanart #MorArdain

Mòrag and Brighid from Xenoblade Chronicles 2, ready for battle. Brighid, a fire user whose hair emits blue flame, holds one of two whipswords in whip mode. Mòrag, a soldier in a formal uniform, holds the other whipsword in sword mode.

In the second panel, the two superheros, now labeled "writer" and "artist" look at each other. One says, "Look what they need to mimic a fraction of our power."$

Polished digital art splash illustration of Catter, a purple eyed catgirl in a red sci fi outfit, lunging forward in a dynamic action pose in space. She reaches out with a mechanical hand while throwing a grenade as purple portals open and starships explode behind her. Debris, energy blasts, and glowing effects fill the scene, creating a vibrant, high energy sci fi battle composition.

Thanks for this! I'm a digital illustrator, and I am currently open for commissions!

A page detailing what I charge for digital art commissions. Sizes include busts, half-body, and full-body. Colours include black-and-white, flat colours, and full colour + shading. Backgrounds include none/solid colour, simplistic BG, and detailed + shaded BG. Starts at $20 USD for a black-and-white bust with no background, all the way to $400 USD for a full-body, full colouring and shading character with full background. Extra characters cost an additional 50% of the first character. Overly complex robots and mecha cost double. DM me for more details.

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.

my most woke belief is that most of the world's suffering stems from systems of inequity enforced with violence at the sadistic behest of an incurious & frightened elite; liberal democratic governments believe their responsibility is to provide them with labourers, and we can change it all today.
