Too often people hold on to an either/or mindset and struggle with the happy medium. Two things can be true at the same time and two opposing feelings can be felt at the same time. It’s good to love yourself and it’s good to love others! We can have both ✨

Artists aren’t meant to succeed under capitalism, those are complete opposite values. That’s why we artists never feel successful or achieved.

Unions were formed by people who were tired of being abused, killed, and exploited by business owners and corporate overlords. And it seems the corporate overlords have won at their propaganda, making people believe they don’t need protection from them. A mournful time for those lost.

With The Kennedy Center up in shambles thanks to Trump and his nazi ideologies, it’s sad to see that the arts may have to be supported by private entities for now. Which is a problem in of itself. What are we doing to conserve the arts? #kennedycenter #supportthearts #conserve #art

If you thought it wasn’t possible—well, here we are. Musk pulled $80 million in funding authorized by Congress straight from NYC’s bank account. The federal government took the funds and called it a “clawback” of taxpayer money. A lot of others would simply call it stealing.

Every day there is new fuckery afoot. Today I learned the MO ag is suing Starbucks for “DEI practices” because he walked into a store that is probably in a town where minorities are the majority and saw some black and brown women working. Like….. my god wtf. #fuckfascism #humanrights

If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, flies like a duck- it’s probably a duck. In this case we have a coup happening and waiting until the duck lands on the pond “to be sure” will end all of us non-billionaires.

Think firing the entire federal workforce will save America money? Federal civilian employees account for just 4% of the federal budget. Even if someone like Musk—or any president—fired all of us, it wouldn’t make much of a dent in government spending. Don’t fall for it.

Federal employees, please please do NOT accept the buyout. Even if you’re laid off it’s not valid/legal and we need all of you to take the administration to court.

It's financially irresponsible to develop a Sovereign Wealth Fund when the nation is in so much debt. Any surplus funds should go to pay down the debt and reduce the interest owed by the taxpayer. Seems more like a place to collect bribes and embezzle funds Next news.yahoo.com/sovereign-we...

AI art is simply a client sending me an image from a Google search result and saying “I like this can you make it for me” and then I put it in Illustrator and use the image trace tool. But the problem is the image trace tool is trash and requires refinement. 😂 #ai #aiart #art #adobeillustrator

I have a love/hate relationship with AI. In general I hate it, but some real artists have been able to prompt some cool shit. And that’s the thing, someone making AI art- you don’t own the image. Your intellectual property is the prompt you used. #ai #aiisnotthefuture #art

It always amazes me how willing people are at admitting, and standing by- their ignorance. For instance: pronouns. You didn’t know they/them can be used to describe a singular person? Well then you didn’t pass English/Language Arts class in elementary school. That’s concerning.

If you’re a federal employee please do NOT accept anything Elon is offering he doesn’t have authority to, the sitting president doesn’t have authority to offer buyouts either. Don’t accept anything they are selling you!

So Elon is able to email federal employees without holding an official office, what could possibly be the problem with that?!? I’d like to say we’re fucked but we’ve been fucked for a while now, the marginalized have been telling us for years.

Gen Z is being lied to. My “baby” cousin’s opinion on immigration and abortion messaging (Republican reform and the bans) is influenced by christo-fascists, he reduced it to the low birth rate in the USA. Quick lesson that capitalism and patriarchy has made women NOT want to have kids so…
