WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 4-YEAR-LONG study of NEARLY 30 MILLION people in France found that individuals who received a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine had a 74% LOWER risk of death from severe COVID-19 compared to unvaccinated individuals and ZERO increased risk of all-cause mortality.

Forgotten Island was soo good, everyone go see it! 😭😫 I was tearing up pretty much the whole time even tho it was like being in a car going 100 mph.
Last week's SF Godzillafest was fun! I love how many different kinds of people are into Godzilla these days. Thank you to everyone who came by and took the time to talk to me or buy my weird stuff 😊
Day 2 of SF Godzillafest (@alwaysbumping.bsky.social vending, not me), and the range and quality of fans' Godzilla shirts, jackets, and sweaters has been incredible. Fall weather is a great time for Godzilla merch.
My son just asked me "Mom why do we do small talk at parties" and I replied "Because gossip is a 500,000+ year old adaptive mechanism evolved from when we were Homo Erectus and knapping tools around a fire as a means of norm reinforcement and bond strengthening for group survival." (+ then he cried)

Looks like one of mine got flagged as well. Other artist folks, you may want to check! Knowing if something is AI or not is actually a crucial feature, so it's wild that they rolled it out with such abysmal accuracy.
A new example of Meta shithousery. This is a post of mine on Instagram (left). Click the dots top right and this advisory note appears (right). I never use ai, never will. Why would they do this? Who benefits? Are they just trying to make viewers think everything is genAI so they just accept it?
Serious question for any lawyers or legal-savvy people on here: Could something like this be grounds for a class action lawsuit against Meta for defamation? Since the incorrect, impossible-to-remove “Likely made with AI” labels can cause reputational damage?

Coming in November-- the MetalGarurumon G Erosion Mode I sculpted for the Toho Daikaiju Series! (had to redo this post too, sorry!) #art
Sorry for the one person who may have seen me deleting and redoing posts. Can you not add alt text after the fact?!
The sample figure of the Wargreymon G Erosion Mode that I worked on finally arrived!

Happy 5th birthday to #KidLitArtPostcard!! 🎉 Here's me as a kid, stealing neopoints and playing flash games. Hire me for your next project, I'm great at computers!
This is a personal project I made for Maggie Tokuda-Hall @maggietokudahall.bsky.social , who is one of my favorite writers, based on her book "Love In The Library", illustrated by Yas Imamura @yasimamura.bsky.social . Of everything I've made, I'm especially proud of this.
I am still reeling from this incredible gift. Professional model maker Dennis Chan (and husband of the talented @alawinans.bsky.social!) made this INCREDIBLE figurine of my grandparents. I can't stop turning it over in my hands. What a wild thing to see @yasimamura.bsky.social's work in 3D.
VENOM sculpt for the Marvel Legends line! From the Rivals game. A completely new figure.
Devastated to hear the entire Marvel Studios’s Visual Development team has been let go. This was my old home but more importantly, the home of so many incredible artists and peers. Absolutely heartbreaking 😔 Sending all my impacted peers my love and support. Please reach out if you need anything!

I fear that I, too, am simply a Ditto masquerading as a human.
We cannot and should not let generative AI take away these tiny, insignificant, but probably fun as hell jobs from artists
