Guys will listen to male influencer bullshit about needing to have a six pack and manipulate everyone and meanwhile women will go “you know who is the sexiest fucking guy I’ve ever seen?” and post this

here's a fun lil exercise for cis people: how many articles would a publication have to print calling for your extermination before you would expect people who care about you to stop giving them money? and how would you feel if their excuse for still supporting them is some fuckass crossword puzzle?
I really hope this takes off. There needs to be a creative storefront marketplace that actually bans genai and drop shipping, and I hope it's a 100% ban. Etsy is completely ruined and not artist friendly. Much luck to Fybe! fybe.art
this is profound and irreparable damage my soul has taken I miss when airbrushing was the problem, when the worst someone could get accused of was tracing, when juxtaposition was so wild that someone had to have crafted it in an imaging program but at least someone had to CRAFT the image
one thing I miss from the pre-genAI days is that there was no questioning that human nonsense was simply human nonsense. a dog piloting a plane? some silly human toiled over that in photoshop. now, when something is nonsensical, we question if it’s ai and don’t get to enjoy it the same way.
Some great new reaction images to use when people are obtuse on BlueSky.
The “best” thing about genAI (the quotes are doing heavy work here) is that it’s really lowered the bar on getting into hand-made art. Literally anything you make is better than ai. There’s never been a better time to throw away your fear and start learning that craft you’ve always wanted to learn.
“These bigots really want to look at your daughters’ genitals” needs to keep being repeated loudly to the ears of anyone on the fence about this. Leave these kids the fuck alone.
An initiative on the ballot in Washington state in November would require all athletes seeking to play girl's sports from kindergarten to high school to undergo "genetic screening, a testosterone-levels test, or an examination of their reproductive anatomy" before they can play
Ray Harryhausen's stop-motion skeletons in Jason and the Argonauts are amazing even now. He animated the sequence by himself for more than four months -- without computers or even an easy way to check his work. We're looking into how he did it: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/how-ray-ha...
And I’m sure there are assholes at Ghost and Buttondown or whatever but Substack, like X, is literally devoted to making money for Nazis! There are less damaging options!
I went outside to put something on the curb and came right back it looks like I jumped in the shower with my clothes on lol
Optimist: the cup is half full Pessimist: the cup is half empty Artist: oh fuck that was the paint water
Optimist: the cup is half full Pessimist: the cup is half empty Mircobiologist: the cup is full. Just look at what grew on this plate when wd swabbed the inside of the cup and the sequences we recovered from the filtered air. 🧪🧫
