The quoted meme of red-button choice with the fuck AI option extended: "RAM & storage prices return to normal & capital loses power & energy & water & land are less wasted & critical thinking is less damaged & oligarches lose a major avenue for propaganda & fewer people experience psychotic breaks & creativity is actually valued & the code that materally impacts your life has fewer bugs &" the last line is partially cropped

“Oh I only used AI for placeholders or idea starters” does not make it better! If you are using it for any part of the creative process then you’re no longer doing the process!

"placeholder text" "concept art" either the temporary thing you put in matters to the process, in which case you need to get a human to work on it, or it doesn't, in which case you can just as easily put a bright pink rectangle that says PLACEHOLDER in and save everyone time and effort

no child can out-why me
8-panel comic, ink and colored pencil panel 1: miss z, a teacher and west asian trans woman, approaches a student of hers, a young black boy. the student is happily dropping his lunch tray on his table with a clatter. miss z asks, "hey dude, can you please not do that?" panel 2: the boy asks, "why?" and miss z answers, "because it sounds really annoying to other people." panel 3: the boy asks, "why?" and miss z answers, "because it's a sharp, loud noise, and human ears don't like those." panel 4: the boy asks, "why?" and miss z answers, "because we can only comfortably process sounds below... 120 decibels, i think it is." panel 5: the boy asks, "...why?" and miss z answers, "because structurally speaking, the tissue in our eardrums can't take much more." panel 6: the boy narrows his eyes suspiciously at miss z, who genially smiles back at him panel 7: closeup on the boy, who asks, "...miss z, do you know everything?" panel 8: closeup on miss z answering, "ha-ha! not even close." and a projection of her inner self, thinking "yesssss" her outward expression is amused and kind, but her inner expression is rabidly excited, with wide eyes and a sharp, toothy grin.

Don't buy Starbucks gift cards this holiday season!
womensmarch.com Women’s March @womensmarch.com · 1d
Santa checked his list twice and Starbucks is on the naughty list for ignoring workers and union busting.

This holiday season, unite with workers – don’t buy Starbucks gift cards while baristas are on strike. #NoContractNoCoffee

Funny animal videos no longer being trustworthy just fucking sucks all around. I love the wonder of animal behavior and what it says about the experience of being alive. It's because it happened in reality that it's so fun. It's not fun if it was just made up. There's no wonder there.

Fyi PNW folks we are on the doorstep of the next big storm front. Extreme high winds + saturated soils means lots of trees down and power outages.
Make sure your devices and flashlights are charged and you have loose objects put away or tied down.
Be prepared. Please stay safe. 🌲

We were about to post something else today, but inspired by
@wannabekingpin.bsky.social question about AI use, we decided to do something different.

For those of you who claim to be allies, please don't let this be a repeat of the Silvervale situation.

We're asking you to take a stand, and not play a video game. Your short term comfort is not more important than the long-term impact of human lives.

Boycott Fortnite. Have a fucking conscience.

Been thinking on the use of GenAi for mood boards. Ethics and legal risks aside, I truly believe using GenAi as references deprives one of many pivotal things.

Here’s a blurb on what I mean:
Some thoughts: When using GenAi as a mood board you don't get sources. This means you deprive yourself from knowledge. You generated a location? You deprived yourself of knowing more about the interesting parts of the world and why things came to be. Generate an armor or costume? You deprived yourself on real world techniques, function, form and history. You generated art inspirations? You deprive yourself of learning about artists from history or lock out living ones from potentially being hired. Ethical issues of using GenAi models aside, one ends up making visuals mood boards devoid of reality and history. With it one deprives themselves from learning about our world and who is living in it, inadvertently making your work weaker, because of how detached it is from our shared human reality and history.

idk when children got so emotionally intelligent but i'm here for it
9-panel comic, ink and colored pencils panel 1: miss z, a teacher and trans woman, is sitting at a table with a young student of hers, a little girl. miss z looks tired and cranky, and the student is having fun scribbling on a worksheet. an arrow is pointing at miss z, captioned, "having an awful day" and another arrow is pointing at the student, captioned, "goofing off for the millionth time" panel 2: miss z looks angry and shouts, "hey!" panel 3: the girl looks somewhat surprised as miss z snatches her pencil from her hand with a "pluck" panel 4: miss z's eyes go wide as she stops and a popping asterisk appears over her head, signifying a sudden realization panel 5: miss z's head falls and she looks ashamed panel 6: the girl takes her pencil back and smiles sympathetically as miss z offers it to her and says, "i'm sorry, i shouldn't have taken your pencil. grown-ups should *never* snap at kids like that. i'm not mad at you, i'm just very tired and stressed..." panel 7: the girl smiles cheerfully and says, "it's okay, miss z..." panel 8: large shot of the girl's smiling visage as she says "feel what you feel." pink sparkles emanate from her speech bubble. panel 9: small panel of a chibi miss z crying and saying "uwaa~"
