Celeste dos Cravos An illustration commemorating the Carnation Revolution that took place in Portugal on the 25th of April of 1974, and the woman, Celeste Caeiro, who gave the revolution its name with a simple gesture :) 25 de Abril Sempre, Fascismo nunca mais! ✊

A woman on a balcony, holding a bouquet of red carnations, gives one of them to a soldier passing below, placing it on the muzzle of his gun while he looks up at her. All round, other soldiers walk beside him, some wearing red carnations on the muzzles of his guns too, others waiting for their turn. On the background, Portuguese tiles frame the woman, while the balcony's railing slowly transforms into a streetlamp typical of Lisbon (with a caravel and 2 ravens, the symbols of the city).

my biggest career tip is to consider for each project/piece you do: is this to earn money or is this for my sanity. it is a fine line but the boundaries must be set! if its for money u TURN ON "i am a worker hired by a client" and if its for ur sanity u turn that off and turn on "owooga booga"

This is your periodic reminder that: "AI" is artificial, but not currently intelligent "hallucinations" are actually incorrect or misleading output (errors) "AI" cannot "join the workforce" any more than a broken clock can When we use their marketing terms we only help them perpetuate the scam.
