being indigenous means carrying this massive grief with u all the time and having no idea what to do with it. just born into such an immense sense of loss. like what do u do with that

batman beyond's episode "splicers" would be suuuuch a fun concept in sol9. its already halfway there w the arcadion. imagine splicing w/ beast souls (to a much less taxing degree than the arcadion) cropping up as a fashion / counterculture trend resulting in animalistic traits.

in a world full of so many musicians and big name celebrities revealing they're all for ai and bigotry, i can at least take some comfort in knowing that chris daughtry is a real one and is vocal about it. and yes his music is still good as ever 🫶🏻

Daughtry and Christ Daughtry's official instagram post sharing a Rolling Stone article he was interviewed for titled Chris Daughtry has had it with AI fakes: "This is absolute bullshit" 

The hard rocker joins a growing list of musicians speaking out publicly against fake posts involving them.Continued from Daughtry's interview 

Two years ago, Daughtry released "Artificial," a single that took full-throated aim at AI culture: "Plug into the new you/Don't resist
'cause it's no use, it's no use/It's digital warfare/The death of who we are is right here." Little did the band, especially frontman Chris Daughtry, know how relevant that song would be two years later - which Daughtry made clear on social media last week.
For months, social media sites, Facebook in particular, have been deluged with fake Al photos and memes of rock stars supposedly visiting each other in hospitals, embarking on tours that don't exist, and paying tribute to deceased celebrities onstage. At least one major artist hired a company to scour the internet for such posts and have them taken down.Final post from the interview

Along with Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen and others, you were also one of several musicians who was depicted supposedly paying "tribute" to Charlie Kirk.
I've evolved quite a bit as a human over the last 20 years. I don't hold the same religious dogma I grew up with. I'm all about equal rights, inclusion, equal rights for LGBTQ, and minority communities. I certainly don't stand with MAGA, Charlie Kirk, Turning Point or any other movement rooted in bigotry or intolerance or exclusivity. So when it starts lumping me into these groups that do not align with my values and the things I stand for and where my heart is, it affects me on a deep level. I don't want anyone out there believing that. When it starts to step on or completely contradict things you stand for, that's when it hurts the most.Chris Daughtry wearing a shirt that says "i support lgbtq youth" and captioning it 

This year Spirit Day takes on renewed importance in a school year when many schools, colleges, and universities are not hosting students in-person and when our cultural and political dialogue has grown increasingly divisive. According to recent studies, 7 out of 10 LGBTQ students experience harassment, while 1 in 3 report that they had been physically threatened or harmed in their lifetime due to their LGBTQ identity.

When colonization came to call in the US, many folks wrote about america as a pristine Eden whose forest were filled with delights and bounty. This was because indigenous folk (Like mine) built up food forest. Things that were razed and destroyed as a part of racist violence. Colonization is ongoing

To put this in perspective chestnut trees used to be dominant species in the United States. Billions of trees were killed by fungal blight and now fully grown America chestnuts are functionally extinct. There is no getting them back. Ever. All for a data center. www.gadgetreview.com/one-of-ameri...
