Genuinely think anyone can “git gud” at any creative craft they are interested in. If we wanted to actually “democratize” art we would invest in housing, healthcare, food and education as human rights. All GenAI does is make people even more financially precarious and less able to pursue a passion

I hardly see anything about Palestine here, and that must change. Here is a thread of vetted fundraisers for people in Palestine who need help! All fundraisers are from gaza-evacuation-funds on tumblr. I don’t verify fundraisers 🧵🇵🇸
