Everyone who tried to draw around me and started drawing LOVED it at the beginning because of their QUICK IMPROVEMENT. Then quit when they hit The Wall™️.

But it's when you hit The Wall™️ that you NEED to push through with practice!! And you gotta do it for yourself, because it's ALWAYS worth it! 😤

Looking up yarn cones and I think it's a skill that I can now tell what yarn is acrylic from sight alone. Yet if someone asks me how, it's hard to describe... It has a weird sheen and stiffness to it?

i think i'm choosing pombon..........

pollera dancers with swords... is this anything

I know that the resources needed for natural fibres ain't great either. "Ethical" fashion always comes at a cost somewhere. It's just a matter of picking the side which is least evil to you and rolling with it

I've been making a conscious effort to reduce the amount of plastic based clothing items in my wardrobe, but boy, modern fashion is not making it easy.

While I appreciate the versatility of plastic based fibres, can't say I'm big on the environmental impact

Saw a super cute cardigan on Vinted but it's acrylic. Immediately think "how easily can I recreate this?"

It's certainly doable, but I will cry at the thought of intarsia again...

This guy is going around saying people don't understand innovative tech

Between this and Caldarus saying he suddenly feels unwell... Lady you looking sus af.

I wonder if you were the other dragon he initially fought...or you're trying to bring them back. Hmm...

soriku u are special to me

Have you created anything lately? I'm wondering whether you've ever experienced the joy of making, for example, a painting, a drawing, even a piece of pottery or a model. Perhaps this is something you haven't encountered since your schooldays? I am sure that MPs - and especially those with parliamentary roles - are so busy that any such form of recreation soon falls by the wayside. But I wanted to explain to you why, as a professional illustrator, I am so viscerally and furiously opposed to the government's rumoured adoption of a 'commercial research exception' for AI training. It is theft, pure and simple. It is theft of the many many hours I have put into creating my work. Worse that that, it is a theft that will contribute to the complete devaluation of my work - all artwork. Keep AI away from the creative arts. Selling off artists' rights to train AI is immoral. The artwork we have created is not a resource that is free for the government/AI companies to simply pick up and use; it is ours. We sat at our desks and laboured in its creation. We brought our very selves to it, all that we are, knowing that no-one else could create something precisely like it, because we are all unique.

It genuinely makes me despair for the world we live in, when we set the pursuit of money above all that is good and creative. At the beginning of this letter, I asked whether you had created anything lately. That is because, if you have, you will understand that creativity is the speaking of one human soul to another. It is an activity that is worthwhile in and of itself, one that improves your skills, brings satisfaction and self-respect, helps counter mental health issues, teaches one to face challenges and overcome them - all factors which are missing in the typing of a prompt and the immediate "satisfaction" of generating an image, all while using the world's resources in a time of climate emergency. Brighton is a city of artists. There are painters, illustrators, comics artists, muralists, studios, galleries, all relying on the income that their unique skills, their unique abilities to express themselves, can bring them. What a depressing world where we put the artists out of a job and settle for a generic slop from this thieving technology. Please assure me that you will vote in support of your many artist constituents.

I am sure you have heard this quote from Joanna Maciejewska many times, as AI is debated in Parliament: "I want AI to do my laundry and dishes so that I can do art and writing, not for AI to do my art and writing so that I can do my laundry and dishes." It's a light-hearted way to express a vital truth: creativity brings joy to life, and generative AI is the death of that joy. Yours sincerely, Myfanwy Tristram

I was moved to write to my MP about AI this morning (again). I don't know what it takes to touch someone's heart/moral self, but I can only try!

If you want to do the same, www.writetothem.com is a very easy way to do so - you don't need to know who your MP is to use it.

Anyway, the one line I rescued from the pile was:

"The lie of ignorant convenience is built upon the desecrated graves of curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking."

#Writing

Don't get me wrong, some of the lines are fire, but it is a weird thirty minutes of being possessed by some type of literary demon while I tend to my hygiene needs

Shower thoughts are usually good for solving problems and such, so why does my brain like to give me dramatic prose/poetry lines instead

When someone says „Scientists do not want you to know“ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.

UK chums, this is a full five-alarm fire. Write your MP, call them, whatever. The government’s own survey showed 97% of us wanted copyright strengthened, and those abject fucks are weakening it anyway to appease snake-oil grifters and thieves
