An autumn landscape oil painting by Tisha Mark, "Autumn Dawn" 6"x6" oil on Ampersand Gessobord (2021). A sunrise with yellow light over a woodsy landscape with a river or a creek running through it. The foliage is turning fall colors. Light reflects in the water.

Sharing a peaceful autumn landscape from a few years ago. Feeling inspired by the fall foliage, and might have to paint a few of these this month 🍁🍂

Full moon as described in the post with more saturation and colour than usual

I spent some time on the moon tonight. I increased the saturation to enhance our ability to see the different minerals on the moon that we can't really see. 115 frames taken with the Vizta, PIPP, Autostakkert, then further processed in Siril and GIMP.) #astrophotography #harvestMoon #fullMoon

It’s boiling in October because you’re using ChatGPT to write your emails, Janice.

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

eight leatherbound books all titled "FERNS" volumes 1 through 8

Everyone in the past was neurotypical, which is how we got things like this single-author, eight-volume encyclopedia of ferns

Why would I ever be impressed by AI slop when I can walk outside and see things one million times more fascinating, beautiful, and mysterious. From the tiniest weird little bugs to the stars in the sky. There’s so many things about the natural world we still have to learn about instead.

I don't think people who aren't the target of such laws realize how upsetting it is to simply read headlines like this

it adds up over a lifetime, you know

to know you are so hated, to have to always be on the lookout for creeps and chuds who would do you harm given the chance

it's tiring

Get vaccinated and wear a fucking mask. And please fucking stay home and rest when you are sick if at all and as much as possible. And do whatever you can to support the people in your lives in doing the same.

So you want to support living marginalized banned authors but your local banned books week displays and events are full of famous dead people?

Not to worry: your helpful non-binary bookseller is here to help!

A thread!

banned books week…..a great time to buy a bunch of insanely famous books

looking into the article, important part to it is this was initiated by italian unions, making it possible to organize such action at all. which reinforces for what and why such union restrictions exist in america. keeping labor down doesn't just generate wealth, it also suppresses other movements.

Art drawn by people who very rarely make art and think they are “bad at art” is 1000x cooler than AI art. It’s life-affirming. It’s often unexpected. I cannot overemphasize how much I love when people just go for it. You do not need the machine for this human endeavor.

one selfish benefit of alt text is that it is easily searchable which makes finding my own posts easier lol

Please use alt text when posting illustrations or photos or other images. I realize it feels like an inconvenience if you didn't ever do it at the other place, but folks who need it are a zillion times more inconvenienced every single day.

borg assimilation opt out

"AI servers are so power hungry that utilities are keeping coal-fired power plants that were slated for closure running ... [A]mid stagnant wages and increasing costs for food, housing, utilities, and consumer goods, AI's demand for power is also raising electric rates for customers nationwide."

Peaceful activists are dragged off boats at gunpoint for trying to feed Gaza. But the war criminals committing the genocide get applause in parliaments, billions in funding, and handshakes from presidents.

Painting of fantasy apthocary with purple chanterelles mushrooms

Almost done with this fantasy woodland apothecary. I'm trying to decide what type of creatures frequent it....

I kinda want to do fancy bugs and insects?

Being a person with autism has not been easy but the reason it hasn't been easy- is because non-autistic people are not taught how to interact with autistic people. Autistic people are expected to socially mask & neurotypicals generally don't have even a base idea of how autistic people communicate.

Mossy rock in a forest with orange and red fall leaves surrounding it

A zoomed out view of the same rock

I love finding solitary mossy rocks like this, I always want to paint them with something sitting on top. Feel free to use this as an art reference, if you do I'd love to see.

Does anyone know how to relax
