Caught a surprise visitor to my petunias. Didn't know hummingbird hawkmoths came all the way to Ireland!

The pressure to label slop is gaining traction! Platforms are forced to react to the flood of gAI garbage. For now out of fear of potential legal repercussions. But, as they push out labelling they also learn people just don't want gAI diarrhea in their feeds. www.instagram.com/reel/Db8Tne8...

My friend on Twitch: They snuck training of the slop machine on your content in there. Be sure to turn it off! Share for everybody to see!! #NoAI #FuckAI #Slopmachine #enshitification
@househouse.com Made my little dude as a 3D print . Don't look too close it's my first try modeling! Panniers him in my colours, and he watches over my desk now.
My colour 'workstation' Weld and logwood. The camera is struggling so hard with that purple. #pigments #paintmaking #crafts
Lots of excitement about the squeaky beach sounds in Big Walk! You'll all be happy to know it's the real thing! Was absolutely giddy to get to record them on an actual Australian squeaky beach in Wilson's Promontory. Yes, if you didn't know some beaches there really do squeak. It is pure joy.

Something nice and grounding for your time line: My tiny garden (rental) is blessing me with delicious food as well as serotonin. My tip, if you've got enough space for even a couple of pots on a window sill, grow something. Anything. It's super satisfying.
If everything that's been touched by gAI is seen as inferior, maybe companies will eventually take the hint. To quote my favourite simile: Even if you made the cake by hand, if it's been touched by shit in the process, I still don't want to eat it.
KEEP BULLYING THEM IT WORKS

Slop killing every avenue of creative output one stab at a time. Want to make something and try to reach an audience for it? Though luck! Everywhere is flooded with parasitic assholes churning out garbage. Drowning out any attempt at authenticity.

AI Killing off real human creators on yet another platform. Obviously, as a human creator hitting those higher milestones is impossible for anyone trying to organically grow a viewership.

This is so fun! And also achievable for everbody. Just need a camera (every phone has one) some paper, and patience. Animation at its most accessible.

Of all the pigment making experiments so far, logwood is definitely the most amazing to me. The way it goes from golden yellow, to deep cherry red, to the most gorgeous royal purple during the process of laking it out is pure alchemy. The camera in my phone is struggling.
@househouse.com Big Walk inspired me to try my first ever 3D sculpt and print. With the help of a friend's who is heading the maker space in our library. I managed to make this little dude. (The arms and legs to sooo long to get right) Planning on painting him in my colours in game.
