Getting real sick of slop midwives pleading for a 'respectful discussion' of AI as relates to the arts. Your use of AI to 'make art' is not respectful. It benefits from stolen art, destroys the planet, and does not make you an artist any more than someone driving 26.2 miles is a marathoner.

Because it apparently needs to be said: I have never fucking used the AI/LLM/chatbot/plagiarism machine and I never fucking will. If you use it, I think you're a bad person.

The SCREEN Act just failed to pass in the Senate Commerce Committee! 🎉 Enormous thanks to the thousands (!!) of you who told your Senators to vote no! Your voice matters and you should feel good that you made a difference. Obviously, the fight isn't over, but this was an important victory.

can you guys retire "the right wing / chuds don't know what to do with trans men and forget they exist and will be So Confused by them!!!!" already. they are fully aware trans men exist and the thing they do to trans men is violently abuse and murder them

Since it's the start of the month, here's a reminder that you can support me on Ko-fi! ko-fi.com/anaisfae/tiers You can get early access to finished art plus high res scans and wallpapers, or you can just toss me a coin if you want! I'm chronically ill and art is my sole source of income

watercolor painting of a very tiny kitten sitting with its front paws stretched. Its fur is white with patches of tabby grey, its eyes green and its smol snoot dark pink.
