I’m a tired thing. I like vinegar chips, toffee, and little walks for brain enrichment.

A visual collage arranged like old school Microsoft Windows' windows. There are five windows, each with different images. A painted closeup of a blue eye, a black and white drawing of two men tangled together, a painting of a cape clasp and chain across a chest, with a necklace of teeth above it, another black and white drawing of a man with his arms above his head, and a little black cat figure. At the top of the windows is pixelated text that reads "// swan born by leda".

I've found it consistently serving as a reminder to slow myself down, to take a breath, to appreciate what's going right, rising to the metaphorical top above the sludge and the slop and the suffering - it's going to get better, and we can all put our hands in together to make it better <3

he hasn't stopped calling~ have you? 🫵

how to call: stop-paypros.neocities.org

info and resources on pay discrimination: cartoonist.coop/censorship-p...
drawing of a man laying on bed with an old school phone in hand. he has a speech bubble that says "I'm so confused~ is what i'm buying illegal?" the text on the page says "keep calling and writing until payment processor censorship is reversed. one call a day makes a difference! mastercard and visa's statements aren't good enough. let's keep up the pressure together!"

I was going to say the past three months have felt like running a perilous marathon only to trip, fall, bloody my face, and have to get back up to keep going only to trip again
but uhhhhh
whole year has kind of felt like that now that I think about it

I think it depends on body proportion and mobility/flexibility - I'm tall, with a longer torso, so there are some spots I can't reach easily, but I also have limited flexibility through my shoulders
But my mom, who's shorter, can hook her fingers behind her with one arm up and the other down

✦ Retreat in The Flagship

I can happily decease 😌🙏✨ thanks to my friend for the enlighted suggestion of adding varka to my chaeya 💖

#art #GenshinImpact #nsfw #nsfwart #fanart
Colored self-fanservice doodle of Varka, Kaeya and Childe from Genshin Impact, having a good time in the back room of the Flagship in Nod-Krai.
They fill the entire composition with Kaeya pressed between Varka and Childe, however there's some interior visible in the background. They're being graced by a low warm light source. Varka is kissing Kaeya's nape while Childe is nuzzling into his chest.

A digital greyscale drawing of two men moments before a kiss. The man on the right, long-haired and bearded, surges forward with tenderness. His eyes are closed, lips parted as he shotguns smoke into the opened mouth of the other man. The other man is younger, eyes open in small shock, the smoke streams into his mouth and across his cheeks. While they both have long, elfen ears, the younger man has a flame that wicks on the top of his head, and his skin flushes with brightness rather than deep color. They both wear monk habits.

This feels like a 90s era manga cover I would have obsessed over - but I get to obsess over it now! Present day! The front flash lighting style and sharp blacks make this so punchy and gritty aughhh I love it!

You’re too kind ;A; That means a lot, truly! I used to podcast and I do miss it - maybe one day I’ll get my ass in gear and return to doing some sort of audio or video work for myself that’s more of All This

Such stunning ferocity! The glow feels burning, and I love the texture of your mark making - your caption really punches the piece up as well - super inspiring work!

I'm gonna percolate. I'm gonna formulate. I'm gonna do it for you <3

No, I totally get you! Realistically, if gen AI does become entirely inaccessible to the everyday person, if it were to become removed from the pipeline, it doesn't mean this, as an issue, isn't worth discussing, breaking down, recognizing for all its little festering parts and problems.

it'd make for such a fun zine...sabine paper doll too hoghhhhhh

You gotta give this girl a look book - you draw her so beautifully, and I love her in the full monochrome aaaaaa

Ultimately, I'm talking about reliance on image generation, and that's taken various forms throughout our lives, and it will continue to change, grow, and develop, so it's not a discussion exclusive to GenAI, but rather the ability to examine ones sources and external influences when creating art.
swanbornbyleda.bsky.social
The proposed future collapse of GenAI image generation also doesn't magically remove everything that was generated before its end. These images will still exist, be distributed, and likely iterated upon in one fashion or another.

And while the AI bubble is careening towards a very catastrophic pop, it's become ingrained in our culture and many people's everyday use in a way which will not be easily or prettily parted from.
swanbornbyleda.bsky.social
Do I want to see Generative AI as it currently exists and operates in creative spaces wither and die? Of course. But I also know the significant reliance many professionals have already developed upon these tools satisfy corpo demands. I try to be hopeful and realistic at once.
