I love paying human artists and I hate gen AI 🩵

I'm not here to fight about whether or not AI is ethical (I've made my decision and I doubt I'm gonna change yours.) I'm just here to talk about what I and many other artists have been dealing with as we adjust to a new media landscape.

Now that’s a lede.

An illustration of a young women yanking a weed out of a bed of marigolds. The primary colours of the piece are deep green and a saffron yellow, with some brown and moss green tones as well. The camera is looking up at the young girl with a forced perspective, as she pulls out the weed while leaning back. The text reads: PULL FASCISM UP BY THE ROOT.

Trans rights is a winning platform. Pro immigration is a winning platform. Taxing the rich is a winning platform. Affordable housing is a winning platform. Free childcare is a winning platform. Hating Andrew Cuomo is a winning platform. SOCIALISM IS A WINNING PLATFORM

I teach a field natural history course that’s very analog—a hand-written field journal, hands-on skill sessions, hours in nature each week. This very much tracks. My evals for that class emphasize the class’s impacts on how they think, and their mental health.

Not everyone can boycott Amazon

Many disabled & elderly people are housebound and rely on it

Some medical supplies are more affordable there than anywhere else.

Give rides, drop off food and meds, donate to mutual aid

Take care of each other

Oh my God this.

Chicago isn’t a war zone.

Chicago isn’t in a state of emergency.

Chicago isn’t a military training ground.

Chicago isn’t in need of “saving”.

The only threat in Chicago is the ICE fascists who are kidnapping people from their homes at night.

Remove ICE & you remove the threat.

look ai is completely destroying the world with massive pollution and is using up water at a concerning rate but at least you get to use technology that lies to you and is the primary propaganda mechanism by fascists

ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesn’t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants
