A friend of mine who wishes to remain anonymous has shared an interaction she had recently I want people to be made aware of. Dominic Bytes, an up-and-coming VTuber, has been defending a known pro-AI creator and racist. I saw a lot of people I know following them here, so please be wary and block.

He just took his first bus ride today (I wanted the extra $40 bucks I would have spent on a round trip uber to go to him instead.) I’m very proud of him he was such a well mannered lil guy even though he was confused & uncomfortable. 🥹

An adult, shorthaired, piebald cat cautiously sticking his head out of a rainbow wool hiding cave which has been placed in a travel carrier. Loki has bright green eyes, which appear yellow in the vet room’s light, delicate long white whiskers and a pink nose. He is not feeling well and is looking at his guardian calmly but cautiously.

So I'm trying to get back to art and restore my online presence. CSP that I'm used to just shat itself by using AI moderation and poor explanation of their backpedaling. Krita started crashing today while autosaving or pressing Ctrl+S, and only on Windows. Cool) I ain't mad.

*me, drawing a map for the first time because I need to redo my homeless resource maps of downtown* it's just simple shapes. all drawing are simple shapes. there's no need to stress about simple shapes.

This is true. In 2016, I got into an argument with a gay man on a menswear forum. I've since made it my mission to make every man dress gay, thereby destroying his ability to tell who is actually gay and, ultimately, his chances of finding love. I built my social media following to achieve that goal

Someone on Twitter writes to me: "People should follow your advise if they want to look gay."

because of AI, we need to start being suspicious of streamers who don't make art but don't have any credit for the art that they're using for their assets

I'm kicking dominicbytes from my Starter Pack for engaging with AI and encourage people to come forward if they find people in my packs using AI. This is personal for me and I have zero tolerance for it.

I'm actively looking for more under-supported queer artists who need help with social media management and advice. I've been getting really frustrated at the status quo lately and I want people who will match the energy that I've been putting out. Which is, quite frankly, a lot.
