When listing Target Corp‘s many failures over the last 2 years, please don’t forget that here in Minnesota, home to their effin’ HQ, they allowed 🧊 to hunt their own employees in their stores and stage their terror attacks on the surrounding neighborhoods from Target parking lots.😡

We have until Friday to support these or they might not get made! We're so close!!!

Turns out Ko-fi is blatantly allowing bots with galleries full of GAI, specifically says not to report them unless there's specific illicit depictions (the same guidelines actual art has to follow basically.) Anyone care to put a word in with me? ko-fi.com/survey

Tempted to make a zine 100% why I’m so damn sleepy and then another about why I’ve been MIA for years. Not sure anyone wants those though

As a former library employee, even simply moving the books to another area of the book, and the shelvers taking them back to be scanned and reshelved! That counts too! It counts as eyes/hands on the book and needs/uses of said book

Oh this is a really important win. So you know people who use AI generated images and then copy that as a physical painting? This means that as it has no copyright protection (because AI does not), if it's too similar to the existing art AI ripped off, it is easier to fight back legally.

thanks to your generous support the goal has been met and Summer matched it with $420!!

Tabling at the Small Press & Art a book fair at PNCA 💗 If you’re in Portland, come through 🌈 I’ve got prints, pins, postcards, zines, and mystery bags ✨

Tabling at events is kinda depressing these days. People don’t have spare income. And as a disabled artist, I rely on my creativity to try and make ends meet. It’s hard to keep a “normal” job, I’ll get praise from bosses for being the best employee. But then not given grace for my health needs

1. Missouri appears to be forging ahead with 3 bathroom bans in public buildings across the state. They heard 3 bills in a single night on the topic. Lawmakers are worried that we could see what happened to Kansas happen there too. The latest from our writer S. Baum.

Man what the fuck, they so clearly understood that nobody wanted this, nothing is even close to the level that Pinterest is in terms of finding images, there's nothing even close Why do this when everything AI is trending downwards and imminently crashing

Pinterest CEO says in layoff email: "We’re doubling down on an AI-forward approach – prioritizing AI-focused roles, teams, and ways of working" So it's time for me to move to another platform to save images
