Carta is a genius and you should support her

take medication to sleep just enough? fuck you pain

let's goooooo

a sketchbook page showing 8 panels of a hand twisting into different odd positions

I can't tell if it's the handsome, emotionally mature enby who's a whole foot taller than me and desperately wants to fuck my brains out at just about any given moment or the fact that I finally got more than 5 hours of sleep for the first time in 2 months but I felt fucking incredible today

Govt halts new puberty blockers prescriptions for gender-affirming care Green Party MP Ricardo Menéndez March says the government is "buying into imported culture wars" .

Karen Chhour is quoted in this piece actively promoting conversion practices, after previously comparing gender affirming care to torture at Lake Alice. This coalition is evil. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

was on a date with another doll last night and we lamented how difficult it was to access gender affirming care and celebrated how much easier it is for younger generations... this ban on puberty blockers is fucking devestating and I wish nothing but tenfold pain and suffering upon this coalition

also, to claim that smither's tepid, milquetoast, stagnant, standing-water-ass cover was "inspired by Marc Chagall" is fucking insulting and obscene

also, if you, as a publisher or writer, describe the cover as having "nothing to do with the writing", then you should also eat a big bag of dog shit

if you, as a writer, are defending the use of AI to generate covers and call it work, you clearly have no respect for any kind of craft and should probably never write again

Authors dumped from New Zealand’s top book prize after AI used in cover designs Ockham Book Awards dropped two titles from contention after new guidelines introduced on artificial intelligence use

"In a statement, Smither said the designers spent hours working on the cover of her book, which features a steam train and an angel 'half-obscured in the smoke', inspired by artist Marc Chagall’s figures."

HOURS!!! this is such actually and insane read lmao

I don't know if it counts but misremembering but hajime no ippo?

Strider commission. This was tough, but a blast.

Sama’a will be back, but for now she’s taking a break from this racist hellsite.

These relentless deletions are on top of GFM stealing $4500 she worked so hard to raise, which allowed her to move her kiddos into an apartment. Now it’s all at risk.

whao watch out everyone big poster coming through

can't say I've been blown away but I've been enjoying it? but also never trust timeline recs

they would have to be a dumb bag of rocks to ever accuse you of all people of using ai

even in my delerium I stay winning

I was too tired to come up with anything clever to say to this beautiful girl I saw on hinge so i just pathetically asked if I could worship her and be her simp and she said yes ✨ who says romance is dead?

Just added a new suit to the game. "Quakes" shuffles the communal card pool. It's a dynamic but risky suit to use, as it could tee up the perfect Four Of A Kind for both you and your opponent. I wonder if there will be something that synergises with this? 👀 #indiedev #devlog #screenshotsaturday

雖然滿小兒科ㄉ但畫跟放出來預支我三年恥力（1/5）

having said that, the past 20-30 years have completely eroded the layman's relationship with art altogether to the extent they'll also accuse beautiful works of being AI so what do I know

what does it say about you and your work if it is indistinguishable from something generated by the lowest-common-denominator machine?

this isn't to imply people should get "better" at drawing or anything, I just hope this forces artists to question their aesthetics, in the literal sense of the word. like what does my style signify in the context of the society/ culture we live in and what does that contrast/ juxtaposition say?

the inability to utilise composition, values and guide the viewers' eyes always implied an absence of voice/ intent, but now it's an aesthetic associated with the kind of images AI generate because it's the culmination of capitalist globalisation-- the decontextualisation of everything
