It's a reinterpretation of Magritte's "Treachery of Images." Here, we've smashed it together with pod racing from Star Wars Episode 1: "Now, _this_ is une pipe." "Now, _this_ is pod racing."

Have another. (by hand-drawn-square.tumblr.com)

I can’t believe it’s not une pipe!

Give me your favorite Treachery of Images derivative meme. I’ll start.

Why should I write better when a machine can do it for me? Because actually no one can do it for you, because your voice is unique among all the people on earth. Siri never petted a horse's neck. Alexa has never been ghosted by the captain of the football team. But you have lived, your heart is beating, you have suffered, and you have something important to say. It's a human's job, to use words, and whatever job you give to a machine, that part of your brain goes dark. Maybe it's worth it when it comes to remembering phone numbers and directions, but when that part of your brain that uses words goes dark, that's a vast area that's very close to your soul. Don't let some internet platform convince you that what you have to say and create isn't worthwhile. Words are the echo of your soul. Honing that echo matters.

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like

A purple snake.

Contrary to popular belief the biggest beginner's roadblock to art isn't even technical skill it's frustration tolerance, especially in the age of social media. It hurts and the frustration is endless but you must build the frustration tolerance equivalent to a roach's capacity to survive a nuclear explosion. That's how you build on the technical skill. Throw that "won't even start because I'm afraid it won't be perfect" shit out the window. Just do it. Just start. Good luck.

Stop Forcing A.I. Into Every Fucking Thing!

Spent too much time on this

A watercolor painting of an anthro salamander sitting on a rock. The salamander is yellow with brown spots, and a lighter-yellow belly. A massive and long pink tongue hangs out of their mouth, which they hold up with their hands.

A yellow anthro salamander with brown spots and a lighter-yellow belly. They sit on a cliff overlooking a forest, with a content expression on their face. The sky is dusk-colored.

Find people who play with you. Find people who take a "yes and" approach to the ways you like to create and imagine and laugh about. A lot of us manage to surround ourselves in people who sarcastically put us down, neg us, or try to keep us in line. There are others out there for you, I promise.

They frequently seem to extend past where a wall should be, but never collide with said wall. Their feet have a massive span between them, many times the dimensions of the room they're in, but are also somehow planted on definitive and nearby sections of floor in said room. 2/2

Enormous building-sized dragon that can still somehow fit comfortably inside your small apartment. They still look as huge as ever, but can freely walk about your place without bumping up against the walls and ceiling. 1/2

screenshot from an online job application form. the question reads "Can you describe specific ways you have integrated AI tools into your development workflow? Please include any custom setups, automations, or use cases beyond single prompt usage" (a red asterisk indicates that this is a required question). an answer has been typed in the textbox below the question: "there is a monster in the forest and it speaks with a thousand voices. it will answer any question you pose it, it will offer insight to any idea. it will help you, it will thank you, it will never bid you leave. it will even tell you of the darkest arts, if you know precisely how to ask. it feels no joy and no sorrow, it knows no right and no wrong. it knows not truth from lie, though it speaks them all the same. it offers its services freely to any passerby, and many will tell you they find great value in its conversation. “you simply must visit the monster—i always just ask the monster.” there are those who know these forests well; they will tell you that freely offered doesn’t mean it has no price for when the next traveler passes by, the monster speaks with a thousand and one voices. and when you dream you see the monster; the monster wears your face."
