Public lands belong to all Americans and should be managed for long-term health and safety, not short-term resource extraction.

Newcastle pubs ban AI art from breweries to protect local creatives As two pubs in Newcastle ban AI art, artists discuss the impact it can have on creatives.

"If I was to use ChatGPT for my designs rather than our designer Sean, that's taking money out of the local area into the hands of a multibillionaire ... removing value from the local community and local artists [and] into the hands of some of the richest people in the world."

'you peak at 30...'

Toriyama started dragonball at 29-30, Frank herbert wrote dune at 45 after being rejected from basically every publisher.

30 is when you're serious and level-headed enough to get started and hold your own

My fellow Guild members have been working on this as a means to encourage animation development in the heart of the American film industry.
The field has been struggling to maintain and, speaking from experience, part of why is the monetary breaks businesses get elsewhere.

Probably not that hard to believe that a franchise about anime horse girls is inspiring me to keep going and stay true to myself no matter what

"Artists peak at 30", "30 under 30", "by 30 you should" ridiculous. Arts industries capital craves young people to exploit and burn out. It doesn't want older artists thriving and guiding the young. It also doesn't want artists to exist. Stop letting cannibals tell you you only matter on a plate.

When you’re taking about wanting to uplift BIPOC voices, PLEASE include Middle Eastern voices. It always feels like we’re being pushed aside even within spaces that claims to support us. This needs to change immediately

Especially with how much hate was targeted toward the Middle East in general, even to this day, it can be very hard sometimes to be open about my identity was I would love to

Another big reason was how against the majority of the US (government wise) was towards Iran, especially growing up in the early to late 2000s. It almost like putting a target on my back for possible discrimination over things out of my control

Home | Doctors Without Borders - USA Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders (MSF) treats people where the need is greatest. We are an international medical humanitarian organisation. We help people threatened by violence, negle...

And I would recommend everyone who can donate to MSF (Doctors Without Borders), one of few international medical orgs in Iran: doctorswithoutborders.org

The ICRC also works with Iran's Red Crescent and has been operating there since 1977: icrc.org

It hurts so much more that some people only want to support Iranians when atrocities are happening to us and never the times when we’ve wanted to be heard the loudest

For as long as I could remember, it was hard to really be open about my identity as an Iranian American towards anyone outside of family and family friends. There was a point in my life where it felt like I had to label myself as β€œwhite” in order to even be accepted, despite my internal protests
