Correlation definitely is causation if you call it a “causative association”

I can not stress deeply enough how the concept of fan fiction and fannon helped me understand the religious right.

Hate to do this but can you guys share this tiktok around on that app because a dude is stealing my art and designs and is running a dropshipping scam to steal people's money and the copyright forms are literally not doing their job. I can't let my work be used like this

JFC 7 days?! My longest was 3 and I was fairly certain I was dying

Being a creative in 2025 is like, okay, time to work: first, let’s have a good cry about all the cruelty we are powerless to stop in the world but not too long, don’t want to drown in despair and alright time to draw my silly little pictures now

I had the same reaction

I have a notebook where I keep notes for the making money and promotion side of things. But lately it’s just a lot “why am I even doing this”

Putting chili crunch on all my food just to feel something

Everytime I sit down to paint I have a challenge in mind. An expression or a lighting or color challenge. Something to give it a little spice.
Unfortunately this means that I am 100% of the time making things harder on myself than they need to be.

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

I made myself a logo! #artistsofbluesky what do you think? #artist

Real uses for it where it can be incredibly useful. But those are not what it’s being marketed for. And it is not able to create art. You wouldn’t expect a customer service chat bot to write you anything meaningful. Everyone who’s used one knows they suck. AI is all marketing and it’s a scam

Do a great job at processing human language into searchable data. And that’s a huge deal. But LLMs are not ‘intelligent’ in anyway. They’re a souped up version of the predictive text bar on your phone and smarter_child on AIM (iykyk). What drives me nuts is that there are legitimate and real- 🧵2

I hate AI so much. But more than that- I hate the hype and lies. Large language models do represent a big step forward in certain areas of computing. Specifically in the area of natural language processing. (NLP) 5 or 6 years ago NLP was a brass ring that people were striving for, and LLMs do - 🧵1

I’ve been playing a mobile subway game (mini metro) and have been looking for something even nerdier. This looks fabulous

Plein aire painting is so wonderful. It is so calming. Just sitting outside and focusing very carefully on something in the distance. I’m pretty sure that’s a kind of meditation

Hell yes, Pittsburgh. Love Yinz. No Kings.

May I offer you a Skarsgard at this trying time?

This is cool as hell! Would it be ok if I used this as a reference to paint?

if you're going to a protest today I wish you luck. The only specific thing I will beg of you is this: don't use milk to wash out tear gas or mace. if you see a street medic with milk, yell at them until they throw it out. do not continue to spread lies about emergency medicine.

heyhey do you wanna support artists on bsky?

how about hitting that sweet sweet 🔁 button. it really helps us out and makes our art more visible to other people who might be interested in following for our art or even buying from us.
it's free, only a button to press, and makes an artist's day!

*in case some one doesn’t know- in PA these programs are largely federally funded. I think it’s that way in a lot of states but I’m not sure

The state of Pennsylvania will not be able to provide SNAP or LIHEAP benefits in the month of November due to the shit down. SNAP is food assistance that keeps people from starving to death. LIHEAP is energy assistance that prevents the people freezing to death.
Are we great yet?

Goddamn @theamynicholson.bsky.social COOKED with this FRANKENSTEIN review. Bow down to one of the greats. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...
