Your most ‘imperfect’ and amateur art made with soul and effort will ALWAYS be better than a generated slop image. A cover with a title and no art will always be better than a generated slop image. A few typos will ALWAYS be better than ChatGPT. Give me your human art. Always.

Periodic reminder for those who forget or struggle with remembering to add alt text: Bluesky has a setting that will remind you to add alt text before posting any images. Go to "Settings," then "Accessibility." Select the checkbox for "Require alt text before posting."

Google, Home Depot, Nissan, Adidas and Clorox have announced their plans to abandon funding for Pride Toronto. “These are American companies and they are showing their true colours,” says Pride head Kojo Modeste. Hey, it’s their money but they won’t be getting mine and I have a *long* memory 👎🏼

Ugh. Can we PLEASE stop including that diamond painting crap in results searching for embroidery info? It's not embroidery in any way.

pizza, fried chicken, and waffles suggested by Grubhub under "Healthy Choices". I do not think that word means what they think it means.

Walgreens email, today is Senior/55+ day, 20% off. What is excluded? "medical nutrition" products, COVID test kits, Drive Medical, pharmacy items/services, and joint supplements. So, 20% off what? Snack foods and cheap cosmetics? Gee thanks. UNSUBSCRIBE

*Really* wish people would simply use alt-text in their posts. There are a lot of graphics going around, which really help visualise the impact of the story they are telling, and they don't have any alt-text on them. Just makes the post non-inclusive to many others.

#QueerPrompts June 1: Pride Month Begins: Introduce yourself & your WIP/story/book (optional: & something you're proud of)

Sigh. In an effort to maintain positivity, I've now had to mute the word t a c o. Also to get all the shitty AI crap off my timeline. I might agree it's funny, but it's like when a radio station used to play a song to death. Enough already. OK, back to cool stuff!

Beautiful pottery and they use alt txt in images. LGBTQ+ artist at mstdn.social/@alchemistss... Support each other.

This is hysterical. I'm using clearsky.app to read who's blocked me. SO. Many. Bots. And yet, some of the weirdest accounts have too. Like... Edinburgh Centre for Private Law. Some lawyers in Scotland don't like me? Oooh, so hurt. Very random, too.

OK, that was odd. I was commenting on someone's post about commenting on posts, explaining how I'm trying to be more positive on here and support other artists and things... And they blocked me. They're an artist. *shrug* Okay.... No loss, but really strange. Maybe they thought I'm a bot?

Happy Pride, ya'll. Love is Love and screw the haters. Stay strong. Support for all my co-people in the alphabet.

Completely unsurprised, but Abercrombie & Fitch are doing it too. A black skirt. Wow. A hidden label. So pride... Sigh.

Good to know, looks like they're aware of the scam. There's a "pay your ticket for the toll road" scam in NM at the moment. We don't have any toll roads.

Well, hell. Age takes people, but she was a treasure. I remember this scene. The whole damn episode made me cry, and I was young. Salute, ma'am.

Sorry there aren't ALT txts, but he does describe them, look at the whole thread. These corporate cowards can go DOUBLE eff themselves.
