I play games. Sometimes I stream it Every opinion of mine is mine. I don't represent anyone besides myself. 26

9/11/2001 I was a freshman in high school in Alabama, I wore a hijab. In gym class my teacher wheeled in a screen. Something horrible was happening. I watched, mouth agape as the second tower hit. We were silent. As that period reached an end, my name was announced on the loud speaker. 1/

If you're looking for somewhere to host your merch that is LOUDLY anti-AI I highly recommend ACGGoods PLUS if you're an artist, you can take merch comms directly on site + have the merch made + shipped to the client 👀

Screenshot of ACGGoods with "unique merch starts with human artists" underlined and "100% human made. Real artwork from verified human creators. No generative AI." circled.

This is how I learn that Fourthwall has gone all in on catering to Gen AI... I'll be taking down my Fourthwall shop later today and will be looking into alternatives fourthwall.com/blog/chatgpt...

every artist needs a reminder every 3 months that they can just draw whatever they want it sounds silly but it's a liberating thought once it clicks

Our society's unfathomable cruelty to homeless people is not just morally unjustifiable, but more expensive than housing people would be. Cruelty against the homeless is an unaffordable luxury. Abandoning homeless people to avoid offending the Protestant work ethic is an unaffordable luxury.

ProPublica spoke to dozens of people who had lived in homeless encampments when cities cleared them out in “sweeps.” We distributed notecards so people could tell us about the toll in their own words. ➡️ This is what they wrote:

Handwritten notecard. Prompt at the top asks: What object was most devastating for you to lose, and how have you been coping? Answer below: Dentures. Were thrown away and coping isn't somthing I can do. It’s made me feel ugly, unworthy, can’t go get a job with no teeth. So how can get off the streets until another pair can be made?
