Happy Giant Phallus Shaped Iceberg Floating In Conception Bay of Dildo, Canada Day to all who celebrate.

Today's the only day you can share this

The best art comes from being yourself, so the best art AI can ever make is a short-cutting craven greedy means to a profit bubble payout while wasting a bucket of planet-ruining energy for every second it's not being used to actually improve the material conditions of people's lives.

Honestly "this peace is what all true warriors strive for" is pretty sage wisdom

“It didn’t have to be me.” I hope that every actor who works a job - whether it’s their 1st, 50th, or 500th - repeats those words to themselves; not to be defeatist, but to be humble. There are SO many capable people in the industry. And if you’re the one they want, I want you to honor that trust.

It would not be the worst thing in the world if Bluesky became known as the social media site people just hung out at and enjoyed themselves with

"Open the window, Janice, bit of a situation here"

Been fleshing out some RtW character backstories, and it just hit me how sad the timeline of events for Oröthönik is. Like, it was already quite sad, but how quickly the worst of it all happened makes it that much worse.

The thing with Pedro Pascal is he not only gives a fuck; he knows he's huge enough to spend all day trashing bigots safely because entire franchises are built around him atm. He's no dispensable Gina Carano-tier secondary guy. This also underlines how most famous artists as big as him are cowards.

I have a rough manuscript! Literal years in the making, and still much work ahead, but this is a big milestone. Feels amazing to know I've made it this far (and written this many words).

Hmm idk 🤔 but I bet the environment we're incinerating to ask it these questions is fuckin' EXHAUSTED!!!

Reminder that you should make art in a way that works best for you. It doesn't have to look amazing or detailed, as long as you're having fun making it.

Generative AI is melting our only planet. Don’t use it. ChatGPT wastes 10x the amount of water as Google. And last year, Google was in talks to purchase 8 nuclear reactors in order to power their own AI. This is not sustainable. Stop using it today. It’s literal Earth Day.

bow before god

Had to look up a list for Sanrio, because I know almost none of their names.

Ya know what, this puts some things into perspective. Also yikes

Tell me again that it was just about women feeling safe in locker rooms. I fucking dare you.

You know the *only* reason he got out so fast was a reporter live posted about this for hours. And, a large amount of public pressure. Every time someone gets grabbed, there has to be a robust public response immediately.

THIS SHIT IS IMPORTANT, PAY THE FUCK ATTENTION

Here's the deal: GenAI cannot be ethical, because it wasn't created to be ethical. It was created to avoid having to pay people. It was created to steal jobs. It was not created to make lives easier for those doing the work, it was created to make things cheaper for those wanting what was made.

putting on something light to distract me from all the news

I am convinced that crochet simply does not abide by any laws, legal or natural.

after endless hospital visits it turns out I’ve had Ehlers Danlos + POTS + PCOS this whole time and it took over a decade to find a doctor who didn’t say “learn to relax and lose weight.” THREE debilitating chronic illnesses left neglected until I was too sick to function. Medical misogyny kills.

Apparently Adobe popped to Bluesky like a flower in Spring. And then ended like that.
