Omggg this is incredible

Which... Is actually kind of the same thing after all, depending on your point of view

Godd, SERIOUSLY. I have much the same experience, though with "right of way" swapped with "right to bloody exist"

The full quote: "I think the sublime confusion is from nineteen to twenty-nine. You think you are late for everything, you're a has been, nothing is happening, there's no opportunity for you, the world is closed, everything is a disaster, you wanna die. And then you're thirty. " "You young people are in the exact age of desperation. I never felt more done and old than in my twenties. I'd say 'life has passed me and I did nothing.' But I'm here to tell you that's not true: you have a lot of fucking time."

I love Guillermo del Toro calling ages 19 to 29 "sublime confusion"

Legendary Final Fantasy Composer Nobuo Uematsu says he’s never used generative AI, and never will.

"I think it still feels more rewarding to go through the hardships of creating something myself."

just a reminder that bandcamp friday is tomorrow & streaming services are interrupting music streams with ai generated shit, flooding the database with artists that don't exist in any way other than profiting the platform owners

so instead of paying a monthly fee, buy an album or two each month ok

Saw someone say, “Stop hoarding books, we don’t need paper books anyway” and I can’t express how misguided this is. Online libraries disappear, digital books can be altered, and with Big Tech seeking to destroy history and literacy, print media has never been more essential.

Wait, what?? Where! WHEN!

Genuinely powerful words to live by.

"I am not beautiful despite being a monster," the sphinx said with a voice like cold marble. "I am beautiful because I am one. Dissonance resolves into divinity-- did you know?"

this is gonna be the game

Boundaries: I don't want to see that thing so I will block it for myself.

Censorship: I don't want to see that thing so I will block it for everybody.

Aaaa, amazing, thank you!

Hii, silly question, will this be on your Patreon or your website? Unreasonably excited either way!

My poor cute friends

i have this weird thing where i’m the boy defender. like i’m actually perfectly down-the-middle bisexual but because i am embedded deep in a social network of girl likers i feel the need to step up and be the boyliker in many situations in order to preserve some sense of cosmic balance

so what do we have now to fight with: ai, visa/mastercard policy, social media algorithms ruining the visibility, kink-cancelling dorks (they r still exist or?), all other payment processors limitations and sanctions for specific regions...

good luck, fellow artists, thank you for still arting✌️

"Understanding" is a pretty beautiful compound word...in this case "under" has a somewhat archaic meaning of "among" (also still present in "under these circumstances.")

So understanding is "Standing among" as-in a mind that figuratively shares space with the concepts in question.

NO!

NO IT'S TOO! CUTE! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!

I'm not ready for how ready I am to not be ready for this

Yesss omgg thank you!!!

Love this turned out so good what the heck

Don't think about The Orb. The more you think about The Orb, the more it knows about you

In these instances, I deeply wish for a sort of omniscience, to be able to see like this, in perfect clarity, in all directions, across time.

I have no idea what it would look like, but I know it would change everything, this kind of vision

And I suspect it would be beautiful

It's an intensely personal vision, but it expands outwards into the impersonal, strands that I know of from other people, leading to speculative moments that must have happened, leading to the endless mysteries of other lives, ones I'm no less bound to for being unknown.

Sometimes for a fleeting moment, I can see the long strands of time that bind one moment, twenty years ago, with another one now. This bright chain of causality, a luminous web, and a person transforming through time lapse, more chemical reaction than human, kaleidoscopic and bubbling

Okay this joke just stopped being fun because I desperately want you to have a fan or AC or ANYTHING
