remember the creator needs an audience. the creative needs industry / a job. the artist needs the art. they can overlap, but they should never be confused. happy new year.

Over the past year we hosted artist-led roundtables on AI, harm & creative labor. I’ve shared a synthesis of what we learned on Substack. Grateful to everyone who made this possible. 📖 Read: ceritas.substack.com/p/what-artis... #AI #art #CERITAS #creativefutures

ive been here with you for many years the question then becomes what is the true use of these apps, and is that usage netting positive impact? if “counter resistance” is loud and unfettered, and misinformation is abounding, and communities are not media literate, what are we actually doing here?

This is my “daughter of a Black Panther breakfast program volunteer” coming out but anyone who tells you that you have to be public about all your resistance activity should immediately be under suspicion for being an op, or being under the influence of an op

“plantation” and “colony” can overlap in definition. I think “social app” can now overlap there too

speaking truth to power is a craft you learn from watching others do it. being mad and inspired may be enough, but it might not be effective if you don't know how to make your stance cut through

ppl want to collectivize until it's time to commit to the dredgery of collectivizing. then it's "I have better things to do" in our new skin, the only thing that matters is collectivizing, across philosophical, ideological and identity lines welcome to the year of the serpent

Not just the NSF….NEH as well. An NEH funded program I am affiliated with just dodged a bullet but they are worried about being able to secure the same funding next year.

I have so much to say about everything here, but the first is THANK YOU. two things come to mind 1. Doomerism is a reaction the masses havent been taught/mentored how to work out of. The mindset we seem to share is usually gifted or taught 2. What IS unprecedented is the Anthropocene of it all

liberated myself from the need for any kind of social media presence or footprint many many years ago. was able to do this because I have worked professionally in all aspects of digital media, saw how they make the sausage and decided to keep it light touch. dont confuse my footprint with my reach.

Feel free to share with those who claim DEI is ineffective. Steve Bannon saw a far-right movement that could only be successful if it was diverse, equitable and inclusive. While its evangelists take to the streets to decry DEI and liberals stay predictable. www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1UU...

I see the same people who expanded their social influence with Trump outrage in 2016 doing the same sht they was doin back then. And I dont see any visible work they’ve done outside of building their personal brands since then. But they are “voices”. This is part of why we’re here.

other than genociding native people, getting rich from imported slaves, operating a racial apartheid state, using nuclear weapons against civilians, violently disrupting democracies across the world, and arming and supporting a current racial apartheid state, this is america's darkest moment.
