I need every single male artist that follows me to read this. It's not very long. You need to bear witness to this shit. You have to see it with your own eyes because you never will in your everyday life.

I'm serious, read it all please

β€œthe thinker of tender thoughts” by shel silverstein

[an illustration depicting a boy growing into a man. as he grows, his hair grows out as flowers. people laugh at him for it and he becomes sad. he starts trimming off the flowers, but as he reaches the last one he stops. he is then depicted with a smile and a flower in his buttonhole on his jacket.]

A rough sketch of a character turned into a marketable plushie (not my oc). They are a fennec fox rabbit hybrid furry with curly hair, long ears, small eyes and they're wearing a simple vest and shorts. They are sat with their feet facing the camera, showing cute little paw pads

And do your part by refraining from "smell-this activism."

"Did you see this awful thing this awful man said? Here, look. Isn't it awful? Isn't he awful?"

...Why are you doing that?

Why are you the free street team for the worst people online? Why are you signal-boosting misery?

Don't do that.

Tweet that says, "I’m sure this will make you sad too, but I’m also using Claude to second guess home contractors. The licensed electrician was lying to me (or just totally wrong) about the kind of wiring in my house and recommending an expensive and unnecessary job."

This is the sort of thing I'm talking about in just implicitly trusting AI and acting like it doesn't hallucinate.

If you had to hire an electrician in the first place, what makes you think you're qualified to judge Claude's output to determine if the electrician is wrong?

I think the biggest damage to the art community was the obsolescence of gallery sites (y!, deviantart, etc) and the rise of scroll-by social media, like twitter and even tumblr. Art is not ''content'', you shouldnt need to post art every day (or every month!) to be relevant. This mindset sucks.

If you're doomscrolling, guess what? So far there are 51 kākāpō chicks hatched and thriving this season, the same number of birds as we had in TOTAL in the 90s! Only one chick has died and there are still fertile eggs waiting to hatch!

Incredibly shit news about and from the creator of the "Chikn Nuggit" cartoon shorts; they're quitting the series, and Buzzfeed, due to forced AI integration.

They're on Bluesky as @kyrakupetsky.bsky.social. Please follow them to stay up-to-date on their new projects.

really tired of conversations about how we need to get people to spend more time offline that don't acknowledge that one of the reasons people ARE online is their access needs aren't being met in physical spaces. This is especially true for queer people and disabled people.

This is bad, and part of what makes it so bad is that this is clearly pulling from *genre* understandings of reality, which the statistical linguistic machine seemingly cannot distinguish from other text included in the training data. Truly an ideology machine where every episode of CSI is true.
