The Great Gatsby notably became popular because it was issued to American GIs, many of whom had an 8th grade reading level, during World War II.

Using AI for your art references not only gives you a skewed & inaccurate view of the world, it also puts resource providers like myself & all these awesome people out of work!

Using REAL photo references is what levels up your art AND supports the stock/resource community! ❀️πŸ’ͺ

If you wanna be radicalized against GenAI, try running an online business while these thieving shitbricks try to scrape your site at all hours of the day, creating a looping, endless DDoS.

Fuck generative "AI." It's all slop built on wholesale theft.

"Being anti AI is class privilege! Poor people can't afford to learn how to make art without it!"

Yes. Famously, all artists are extremely wealthy.

Where were the buses BEFORE the earlier buses? They were on time, of course.

Me: Alright, I actually got up in time! I'll head out and catch one of the earlier buses I usually miss.
The earlier buses: ...we have a confession to make.
Me: ...what? Where are you?
The earlier buses: We're actually the buses you usually catch because we're 5-15 minutes late... see you soon!! πŸ’–

worth remembering, David Lynch directed β€œfix your hearts or die” specifically at transphobes. it wasn’t a generic β€œno mean people allowed” statement, it was said by his Twin Peaks character in defense of a trans woman he cared for and deeply respected.

I need every single male artist that follows me to read this. It's not very long. You need to bear witness to this shit. You have to see it with your own eyes because you never will in your everyday life.

I'm serious, read it all please

Pixar was the single handed most misogyny I ever experienced to my face in my life, stemming from my work being "too girlish" with an insinuated, but never directly stated "and too gay", while also complaining that I was perplexing for not behaving like their perception of a normal "woman"

a screenshot of the music video Planet of the Bass, it has a man in a white outfit and angel wings, a woman in a robe and a crown, the caption reads "Women are my favorite guy"

I think it'd be cool if we had a larger discussion on the direction of conventions in NA- how expensive they are, how little artists make back, how much artists have to put in to even get accepted- And let's not forget how ridiculous the expectations are for presentation and merchandise with tables.
