on one hand, it is absolutely awful that artists r getting harassed & told that their art is AI. on the other hand, I glad there is some incentive now to move away from the most generic anime style possible which used to be overly rewarded for appealing to the lowest common denominator

blue rhino beetles do not play nice with other bugs, but isn't she beautiful? 🪞🔔 my own diary, just for me 🕯️🪞
people like to complain abt AI broadly rather than AI slop bc it makes their complaint seem like it has some greater moral weight to it. as if a form of mathematics itself cld be innately unethical & not the implementation of that mathematics
mad abt bad AI criticism!!! there is non-gen AI stuff that is bad in the same way. u can make AI slop thru non-gen methods. I bet the people complaining wld still hate Luma's approach to 3D models. meanwhile there r still gen art projects that explore the digital absurdness that only computers can
I am going to start moving to my other accs a bit more. the ones with 👁️👁️👁️ on them. I wld like to keep this for me, but I am going to start pushing what I can of myself back into the daylight. primarily @moons.garden but also @shimmer.monster too. if those accs start interacting with u... hi... :-)
I think I hate taking on a form bc I fear I will be stuck that way forever, but people both special & strange have depicted me all kinds of different ways and each one has been a form I hold dear. I used to think I was indescribable, but I am forever shifting while recognizable
MY GLASSES! I CAN’T SEE WITHOUT THEM! I GOTTA FIND MY GLASSES!
I am watching the original 1969 scooby-doo & it is my new favourite thing. great format, great cast of characters, all with amazing art work. I love it so much
if portals of phereon included feral, it wld be the perfect game
lately I have been getting into eating chicken tenders & I think I finally understand autism
I just love the art in this game. & I love how complicated the game is :)
I don’t say godspeed, I say gothspeed, bc goths r the only thing faster
is it cold up there yet? bc it is still rly cold down here ><
I wonder if people wld be down for an eliza style bot that can interact & respond on bsky. a purely system 2 chatbot (no ML). I shld do it regardless. I think it wld be cool
I do like that we have brought back bots (the good kind) bc I missed those when elon closed the api on x the everything app
my government took covid lockdown rly seriously, but that meant they had to end homelessness immediately, which they did effortlessly. everyone was housed comfortabely. they then made all those people homeless again once lockdown ended. those fucks
this always happens when I leave my cartoon pie to sit on my bunny windowsill
Daily bunny no.3449 is playing "Red light, green light"
a self portrait of me (when I am big & round (& well lit from one angle))
the disappointing thing abt being Christian is I will never get the hype abt hate fucking bc of all the forgiveness & turning the other cheek :(
I had a strange zombie dream. everything was all apocalypse during the day but normal again at night. except we all still looked like apocalypse survivors & it still wasn't safe to be caught by the zombies in their human form, even if they were intelligent at night
something I don't like in star trek is how grav-platting requires power. I think it shld be something that works passively, like magnets. otherwise it becomes inconsistent when they r walking around derelicts. idk
I wanna keep focusing on drawing realistic art so I can rly get a sense for fundamentals. I still love cartoons, but I wanna relearn how to simplify what I see into cartoons once I have a good grip on what I am learning now. that's my plan for teaching myself to be the best cartoonist I can be
