Probably starting over … again.

I wish there was a better crop of this, but before I cut it up I wanted to show these pretty pretty cloudy forms. I used acrylic paint, it was very soothing to do. Mmmmm shimmering swirls of colour…

Cloudy forms in shimmering pinks and blues. Acrylic paint.

It is said that, up in the high fortress, they built a huge sculpture of a white dragon so real that for a while it scared off enemies and bandits.

Canadian arts and culture folks: the federal government has launched a (methodologically flawed) survey on "the Cultural Sector's readiness for Artificial Intelligence". If you're ready to resist or refuse genAI, here's your chance to let them know. pch.research-recherche.ca/f/s.aspx?lan...

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?

A digital painting I posted on instagram. I didn’t use ai to create it. An Instagram advisory saying the artwork in the post is ‘likely made with AI’

Cue Shirley Jackson's epic response to a person who was under the mistaken impression that informing a writer that you don't approve of their work/conduct/ideas/etc. will somehow shame/inspire them to change everything about themselves just to please a random idiot.

Dear Mrs. White,

If you don’t like my peaches, don’t shake my tree.

Sincerely,
Shirley Jackson"
