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.
Got my very first tattoo!! Thank you so much @nicterhorst.com for the amazing work and for helping me stay comfortable and informed for the entire process! Time to wrap up a tarot card design and work on commissions! See you in 10 minutes on twitch twitch.tv/carsondrewit
[OC] Played in a Daggerheart one shot this weekend and this was my character ~ Inquisitor Steinhäger, a Satyr Guardian. She is a huge fan of the new Pontiff and is here in name of the church to solve a mystery and help the locals! 🐐☀️📕

Gonna WIP this noodle cause he’s cute. A current custom order of my friends’ and not colored yet. Will surely post the finished one later.

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.
no thank you, but good reminder that I should finally delete that unused dropbox account
SCREEN Act, which would have required mandatory age-verification for sites (like this) that allow "material harmful to minors" failed to pass out of committee after thousands and thousands of people called their Senators. More work ahead!

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
Two-spotted scoliid wasp on mountain mint. Very skittish species, but the mint has tamed them! Such beautiful animals #bugsky
