30+, enby, artist 🇺🇸🇬🇧 I read a lot of books and do a lil art. ✖️NO AI ZONE✖️
Took me a minute to really vibe with the new Link renders, but I like them. Love that they kept the weird little betta fish mouth of the original. Looks great!
Been reading The Edge of the Sea by Rachel Carson and I’m like, grieving this woman. She wrote such achingly beautiful and intimate things about the seaside, in a way that only someone who loved it very deeply could. It hurts my little heart.
Finished Lost World by Crichton. Actually really fun. Sarah Harding is a beast and carried the whole thing, big fan. Too bad she didn’t get to be all that in the movie? Also where the heck is Levine in the movie? Liked him a lot too. Get lost, Ian Malcolm, this is a Harding x Levine space
Black Forest Labs (like Stability AI) likely took a bunch of work off the internet in order to train their AI. A bill in California would force transparency in their dataset. Want to help it pass? Please sign this petition in support, it'll take you 2 minutes: tinyurl.com/4uxbp963 1/
Karla Ortiz@kortizart.bsky.social · 4mo ago1/ This company’s models were trained on web scraped datasets (like LAION) and their founders are ex-Stability AI employees who engage in the same thieving practices that led artists like myself to sue Stability. GenAi companies NEED big names to sanitize their exploitation and crippling PR.
Started reading Michael Crichton’s Lost World and it’s such an improvement over the first book, we love to see it ❤️❤️❤️
Think I’m having a weird reaction to meds lately, came off them for a few weeks and tried again and getting the same thing, so tomorrow I’ll try a different one with an entirely different set of fillers and fingers crossed it won’t make me implode 🤞
With everything going on, let's not forget the fuckass trump admin stripping protection from endangered species and threatening their crucial habitats, and we need to fight back Just a few clicks to send some letters, be annoying as hell actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...
Tell Congress: Stop the Attack on Endangered Species Habitat
The Endangered Species Act is under attack. The Trump administration has finalized a rule that removes the long-standing definition of "harm" under the Endangered Species Act that recognizes habitat ...

Finished an I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream collection by Harlan Ellison. Decent, but I continue to be really annoyed by old sci fi’s portrayal of women. It’s a real turn off.
My boss thinks I’m too young to remember when computers had a defrag feature and I am not about to correct him
Saw clips of the live action Moana movie. I fear that’s all I will ever have to say about it.
Been trying to doodle more often to get over this art block because I’ve got art debts to pay but I can’t even show any of it because it’s all mildly lewd smh
Saw some furries at the beach! We wanted to go say hi but it looked like they were doing a meetup/cookout and we didn’t want to disturb them. Can’t imaginnnne those suits were comfy in the summer sun, but they looked like they were having a good time uwu
Accidentally took a beautiful picture of my Arowana statue, so I wanted to share
The walk to the pharmacy is pretty. Nice to see nature’s bounty thriving in the UK, the branches heavy with Pringles
