Yesterday, wind produced 59.6% of Britain’s electricity - almost five times more than gas.

Despite what you hear from fossil fuel-funded politicians, every unit of clean renewable energy we produce is delivering U.K jobs, energy security, and a brighter future of our children.

some stuff is just supposed to make you *think*, you know? like I hear so many people now who don't seem to recognize what they're feeling other than "good" or "bad" in a given moment anymore, and I swear the vilification and cleansing of fiction under the guise of virtue is the biggest culprit.

sometimes the point of a story is to disgust you! sometimes it's meant to make you feel weird or outraged or confused! it doesn't mean you have to like it or even seek it out, but there is an emotional maturity that comes with knowing how to recognize and interact with these feelings thru fiction.

not every story is a parable, homie. there is not always a lesson or argument being made, nor some dark mechanism working to bend your principles in its favor. sometimes it's just an opportunity for you (and the author) to explore something strange and unusual from the safety of your couches.

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue looks at Green in confusion, as Green is covered in pink hair rollers. Green: I'm going to find out what I'd look like with curls! Blue sits down to wait as Green leaves the room. Green: It's time to take the rollers out! Blue sits with the most neutral expression possible as Green returns, as a fluffy cloud of uncontrollable curls. With miraculous self-discipline, Blue manages to keep his expression neutral, while Green frowns at him. Blue: Requesting permission to laugh hysterically. Green: Request denied.

Kurt Vonnegut’s definition of what makes something “art” is one of my favorites I’ve seen - from a letter to his brother in 1995.
People capable of loving some paintings or etchings or whatever can rarely do this without knowing something about the art-ist. Again, the situation is social rather than scientific. Any work of art is one halt of a conversation between two human beings, and it helps a lot to know who is talking at you. Does he or she have a reputation for seriousness, for sincerity? There are virtually no beloved or respected paintings made by persons of whom we know nothing. We can even surmise a lot about the lives of whoever did the paintings in the caves underneath Lascaux, France. So I dare to suggest that no picture can attract serious attention without a human being attached to it in the viewer's mind. If you are unwilling to attach your name to your pictures, and to say why you hope others might find them rewarding to look at, there goes the ballgame right there. Pictures are famous for their human-ness and not their picture-ness. There is also the matter of craftsmanship. Real picture lovers like to "play along," so to speak, to look closely at the surface to see how the illusion was created by nothing but an unusual human being, with hands and eyes. If you are unwilling to say how you made your pictures, there goes the ballgame a second time. Good luck, and love as always K

screenshot of a tumblr post from user “wildmansters” The thing that really boils my potatoes about Al in general is that I have been a creative professional for over a decade now and the devil has ALWAYS been in the details. Big and small, I've had single-person businesses rip me to shreds over how their colors turned out on newsprint, and have worked with huge companies with THICK brand guidelines with every detail of their brand identity laid out and enforced with an iron fist. But I guess all of that stuff doesn't matter anymore? Who gives a fuck if this Al generated baby has six fingers, that mom-and-pop shop is still going to use it. That rug from Temu says Happy Thanksgivirg? Oh well haha it's just a silly funny thing now (nevermind that you never would have given a B-grade item from a craft show the same consideration). I don't actually care that the Al Coca-cola ad has a truck that changes size every scene, but I can't help but think about how, if it had been some poor underpaid artist, they would have been laughed out of the building. I don't really know how to put it in a succint way but it just feels all the more obvious how much more grace and flexibility has always been possible but never offered.

Panel 1: A girl with poofy dark brown hair, brown skin, and yellow beads holding the hair in a "space buns" hairstyle, is looking back at you while sitting in a computer chair in front of a drawing tablet. She wears a purple sweatshirt with a yellow "stitch" pattern going down the sleeves, and has apparently drawn a golden-armored knight standing on a cliff with billowing clouds and night stars in the background. She is labeled "illustrator" and says "It took me 10 hours to draw this!" Panel 2: Shen points at her with his right hand, a manically smug expression on his face and the other hand on his hip. He is labeled "comic artist" and says "HAH!! Just ONE drawing in 10 hours??" Panel 3: Shen continues speaking, pointing at himself with his thumb. He says "I'D have to get like TWENTY drawing done in that time." Panel 4: Behind the still-smug shen is a slouched, deformed, horrible beast of a man with a drawing tablet in one hand and the other hand holding the pen, and also strapped to a plank of wood for wrist stabilization. It wears only a ragged loin cloth. The neck is long and extends far forward, and the hair is wild, going in all directions. In the darkness of the face two small eyes glint. This creature is labeled "animator"

I'm loudly anti-AI, I've been consistent in keeping my style and showing natural growth over the years, I've never even OPENED chatgp-whatever...

And I'm afraid a bot or someone will come and accuse me of using AI. And I know very well I don't. But I see accusations being thrown left and right... 😭

Morning thoughts about "AI".

Where do we go from here?
Thoughts about “AI” Yes it’s: The slop The theft The brainrot The loss of work The crumbling of creator rights The destroying of the environment and infrastructure But it's also the destroying of trust in anything that you’re not seeing with your own eyes right in front of you. Wonder now turned to the narrowing of eyes in immediate scepticism seeing something magical. Questioning the realness of everything from a stilted written apology to profound works by students in school. It feels like a slow poison to creativity and humanity at large.

Big Dreams
A little red dragon (Ember, from the book "The Bakery Dragon" by Devin Elle Kurtz) is seen from above in this digital painting. He is sitting on cobblestones, which are wet with puddles after a rainstorm. He gazes up at the much larger dragons in the sky above him. They have dropped some gold coins they carry.

The longer I live and recover from my own demons...

... the more I notice the group of people I interact with that lack any semblance of empathy, decency or care (for their close ones and "friends", let alone strangers).

It is much bigger than I realised.

And it hurts.

One thing I have to admit that is "for the worse" for me since I'm on bsky is the constant reminder of the overarching presence of ai, everywhere..

“They fear my blades, but what they truly should be wary of is my wits.” —Ixia, the assassin witch

#dnd #tiefling #characterart #oc #ocart #art
Painting of Ixia the assassin witch. She is a fair-skinned tiefling with large ram horns that curve backward and a tail with dorsal barbs at its tip. She is wearing a black cowl held loosely in place by a red gem with tassels; a red loincloth skirt with high leg slits; and black leather boots. She is leaping to the left (viewer’s right), extending her left hand ahead of her; her right hand is wielding a black dagger with yellow glowing runes. She is carrying two dual-bladed scimitars with similar runes on her back.

I had a very rare and crazy "lunatic" morning... Left me quite upset and lost.

I managed to turn it around and still do all the stuff I planned for today...

Small victories! 💪❤️
