Just someone who wanted to insult your happiness. Blocked! I do preemptively block people. I curate my feed.

Happy birthday!!!

WTF Is he tired that the entire planet is full of life that procreates? Bet his parents never put pictures of him or anything he made on the wall or fridge.

Aw, thanks! Someday, I need to get it professionally done.

Artist Gillian Ivy, Blue hair profile picture.

My hair doesn't match my profile picture any more. ;P Thinking of only doing blue this year. I didn't strip any color this time, just put on some Arctic Fox. The color has actually been staying quite well.

I want maple candies. 😁

Undoubtedly, it's all connected. How can the rich get richer?

Oh look, Canada.

Yes, I am wondering what other interests we have that also have cobalt.

I watched Fox News the other day peddling why we need to take Greenland. They let slip that it's for cobalt. They framed it as saving children from slave mines in Africa owned by China.

Money is the reason. Billions.

I must be old and curdmugeonly as well. I prefer being authentic and using punctuation, especially Oxford commas.

I might not get much notice, but the ones who do notice me are generally worth knowing.

Hey US-based artists, our government is preparing an executive order on AI & asking for public comment. Let's get some letters in (AI corps sure are)! You must submit by 11:59 EST tonight!!

I made a sample letter with submission instructions. Copy mine & augment, or write your own! bit.ly/429UIIw

@levi-ethan.bsky.social hellos!!!!

Octopoid Descending, detail. She will gain some sisters sometimes soon, I am thinking. In Kato Polyclay.

Oh yes, wasn't meant to complain at you, I'm still new here and not used to the threading. Was replying to Ben's response. Sorry, didn't mean to sound rude or anything.

Ps. I overthink things

*pets gently and gives a squishy poke*

Oh yeah, I hate the "comment to get dm". It supposedly works and boosts your visibility as people comment. But it's annoying af.

I've always tried to curate a community of actual interaction with meaningful commentary and sharing. I'll tell em to comment something that takes thought to get freebie

They're fighting the algo demon that suppresses their posts.

Love a pay nothing Michael's haul. $18 of store vouchers, got two craft paints,2 clay texture plates and some gesso.

My husband spent $30, which means I get his vouchers for next time. Bwahaha!

Follow me for hacks! 🤣 Marry someone who will buy you art supplies!

Douglas Adams was the greatest philosopher of our time.

Now this is useful! Wanna know how much of the asinine Project 2025 — that project Trump vowed he “didn’t know anything about” 🥴—has been implemented, what’s in the works and what’s in the pipeline?

You can check for yourself with this handy dandy tracker!

Or "faces of death" and what was the overload of the internet, Conjunction Junction? Do you think what they call "the Dark Web" was just "the Web" when we were young? 😬

This is a big deal, a judge has rejected the fair-use defense in the Reuters AI copyright suit.

The issue is ingestion and use of data in a way that doesn't pass two of the four fair use factors.

This case isn't gen AI, but it's notable because gen AI is even more egregious with data🧵

My Mom is there, they offer her morphine. Think that's the closest they give them. Think I am about to kill the conversation with tmi. Being old sucks, but I hope to get there.

I did see that. It definitely had that uncanny valley feeling. I'm glad she spoke about it. I see a lot of friends sharing slop with messages I agree with and I just can't like it.

I wonder if the slop maker is trying to sell shirts.

Me: Why did Google remove Holocaust Remembrance Day?

Gemini: Scalability and sustainability issues.

Me: No, what was the real reason?

Gemini: Trump administration took steps to dismantle federal DEI programs, companies must too.

Me: Wtf Holocaust has to do with DEI?

Gemini:

Yeah at that point might as well open your mind and shorten the end of your days. 😆

Again as it was the best drug I had ever tried and it made me psychic. I could see how someone could get addicted to it. I don't really ever do anything, I was the reality check at parties "did that shit just happen?!". I was usually sober, preferred my brain with full cognition. And not paranoid/2
