to be fair, when i was a kid and saw great art I also didn't understand that a human had created it, even back then. As a kid i couldn't conceptualize having that level of skill in anything, even before ai's existence. but when i began to understand and believe it, a fire was lit in my heart

This little oil painting always gives me autumn vibes. I love the warm colours and that's why autumn is my favorite season.

do you ever have things that someone has said to you that live forever in your head (non-serious edition)? some older boomer hippie guy said β€œhahmmus gives you fahts” to me 26 years ago at a free fridge and i think of it every fucking single time i buy hummus to this day.

Sketchbook page of blue ink drawings of 5 Dik-Diks. At the top is the word DIK-DIK and 6/5/25. Top two are a Dik-Dik in profile and one looking straight forward. The bottom left is one is 3/4 view, with the words GAH WHY SO UGLY! There is a heart above it. To the right is a small head and a full body sketch of two Dik-Dik.

This is a habit of drawing every time I feel the urge to scroll mindlessly. New good habit replacing a bad habit!

This page is all about the Dik-Dik, who are as small as dogs!

I'm of the radical belief that artists should genuinely be kind to each other. Other artists aren't your competition, we don't need rat race mentality bleeding into the art space. We've went through A LOT over the past couple of years already so please treat one another with love and compassion 🫢

SO much of the cultural and artistic nostalgia that society chases was just art made when people got paid to do it. Lavish movie posters made by human artists, video games made by people without sixteen different investment companies breathing down their neck, movies made by studios taking a chance.

🧡It has been clear for years that a key difference between past instances of book banning and the present censorship cataclysm is that the banning happening now targets not only books, but librarianship as a profession and libraries as an institution. 1/4

Kepler, Halley, and Cheseaux all pondered this apparent paradox, but the question is commonly attributed to Heinrich Olbers, who was born #OTD in 1758. πŸ§ͺ πŸ”­

The Orphan Crusher is here to stay. If we don’t feed more Orphans to the Crusher the Orphan Crushing industry will die. It’s time to wake up to the reality of the Orphan Crusher. The Orphan Crusher is worth billions. We need to teach people to use the Orphan Crusher. It’s here to stay.

I want to be really specific here; lifestyle changes absolutely improve your mood, and have improved my mood, but the mechanism I am most concerned about is taking care of myself is a reinforcement that I MATTER, and that's the big thing here, folks

only cared for the 2 hits on it. But other times you'd come to realize you actually liked some other obscure song that no one else ever played.

I suppose you can preview everything online now, but before you just had to take a chance on things and see how you liked it.

It occurs to me people now might think 'why would you buy the whole album when you can just buy the tracks you like?'

Partly it's just coz I'm old & I'm used to that.

Partly - it used to be fun, you know, to buy an album & give it time to grow on you? Sometimes you realized you really
