I get people’s frustration with the media. They’re basically always telling you bad news and people get mad because they see nobody doing anything about it. I think what people really want to see is their favorite media personality say “that’s it, I’m pissed” and go kick the bad guys’ asses.

I’ve got my head down, really trying to avoid the noise and chaos, and create a few things that will bring some good energy. Feels more important than ever. I’ve accepted that sometimes the most I can affect the world is by doing something personal that’s positive, and then sharing it.

Seriously, creative folks: Don't be afraid to let people know your stuff is out there for them, or worry that "now is not the time for that." People are stressed and freaked out and looking for the things that will give them a moment of rest and joy. It is EXACTLY the time for what we do. Tell them.

Let me get back on brand here with some ninja sketches I did over coffee. You like ninjas more than politics and world events, right? Well so do I! Here you go! #Art

Americans would really benefit from consuming news from other outlets around the globe like Europe, South America and Australia. You get a more objective picture of what is really happening here that tends to be less tribal than the stuff offered here.

Had a dream that I was testifying in front of Congress defending my Captain Sisko tweet. I blame the veggie burger I ate last night.

Read it slowly and understand it. 😳🥺 Repost 👇🏾 👇🏾

Not really into posting about politics that much, but had a revelation while watching Star Trek Deep Space Nine- Democrats need a Captain Sisko-type leading the party. You are basically dealing with really unscrupulous opponents and need someone willing to do what is necessary to even the odds.

Why AI news anchors will never be a thing. You can’t trust them. My chat with the @theguardian.com : #media #ai #news

Remember, when the rhythm is glad, there is nothing to be sad.

I ♥️ 🇨🇦 & 🇲🇽!

Hello~ Since there are a lot of new folks, I’ll do a reintroduction: My name is Hallie. I'm a concept artist who specializes in characters. I’m pretty introverted, so I don’t post much, but I'm getting better at it! I love RPGs, sci-fi, and dark/spooky themes~

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references. Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.

Never stop Drawing! 2016 > 2024 The artwork from 2016 was my very first digital painting!

Generally we think of alt-text as the domain of those with accessibility needs. However alt-text is useful for many reasons, which benefit your viewers, as well as you, the creator!

Been having a lot of interesting conversations with my students and mentees concerning A.I. At first, some were surprised when I encouraged them to explore it. My reasoning has more to do with them understanding what it can & most importantly CAN’T do so they don’t fear being replaced creatively.

@natalienourigat.bsky.social Bon jour! Welcome!

Rage posting about the state of things doesn’t work. What does work is taking action and showing THAT. That’s pretty much what the Bond villains did and they are happy today. But nobody is invincible. Hitler (& The World) thought he was and look what happened to him. Stay ready and TAKE ACTION.

George Lucas tried to warn us with 6 blockbuster movies.

If you’re being affected by the Tik Tok ban, I hope you realize that platforms come and go, but YOU - The Creator - are in control of your destiny and can move on to better things. The creativity of people make the platforms relevant. 🖖🏽
