He's not gonna be as excited to see you as much as yall think.

You preach his teachings but your actions don't show it.

Tch..... to think I was always called delusional as a kid in religion class for drawing all the time and questioning the Bible too much.

Yet.. we have these people.

People like this is why I turned from religion.

They make messes and say "it's in God's hands now"

YOURE THE ONE WHO STARTED THE FIRE SUSAN, WTF DO YOU MEAN?!

And are you guys SURE ya want big J back so bad? Because I'm sure if he saw how you Christians have been treating the immigrants---

"I don't want to have to explain to my kids what gay people are" is ridiculous. You have to explain everything to them! They've never seen anything before! What else are you doing this about? You don't like broccoli so you just refuse to ever let your child know about what broccoli is? Okay man

This quote isnt just out of touch or disappointing, its fucking dark. Gay people are not a conversation parents need to have with their kids? Knowing gay people exist doesnt require therapy??

Any parents who thinks that way needs to have their kids removed ASAP. Get in a volcano, Pete.

RIP Rosie 💙

Squelinda and I are learning new crochet stitches today. (She is mostly eye candy though, she can't math.)

From my angle, my son is staring at me lovingly... from my phones angle however.... 🤣

Boy has no lights on upstairs.
Just like his mother. 😏

-stone heart some much needed peace, even if it's just for the moment.

Those moments are important to hold on to.. they are the kindling to keep hope alive, and your sanity sane.

Once in a while, I slow down and actually take a moment to observe what I have in my life and my heart swells. I'm lucky to have what I have.. never thought I'd be where I am.

Even though the world sucks and there are people actively trying to set it on fire....Days like today gives my-

Mask-off corporate bootlicking that causes these fucks to junk the most vulnerable members of their audience at the first sign of resistance aside:

I really miss the Old DA days before it became an ai slop fest.

This! This is why you should never feel ashamed to reshare your own artwork.

We're not content farms, we're people making artwork.

Our art is worth more than a scrolling glance. Share it more than once.

Anyone who gets annoyed isn't here to appreciate art, they're here for content.

Cats are the managers of our productivity, this is truth.

If an artist isn't able to visualise their ideas on paper (or on the screen) without the use of genAI, they are not an artist. I know some artists who aren't capable of visualising things in their head, yet they can still create stunning art. I know others who brainstorm their ideas and compositions with literal scribbles and stick figures, only to end up with a beautifully rendered piece. There is absolutely no excuse for a self-respecting artist to use genAI at any point during their process.

Someone over on Instagram saying that genAI is bad for art, but can still be used by artists who have trouble visualising their ideas.

I had to reply.

Absolutely devastated to have to deliver this news.

I have loved working at BuzzFeed so much but I have to stand up for what I believe in.

Please DO NOT send hate to anyone!

If anything changes regarding this, I will let you know.

Not a drag queen, or a trans person, or an immigrant. Just very fine people.

I do not like this gen AI
I do not like what it implies
I do not want it in my art
I do not think it makes you smart
I do not want it in my games
I do not like its goals and aims
I do not want it in my books
I do not like the way it looks
I do not like it, I don't care
I do not want it anywhere

How I arrived on Bluesky.

A lesson in fandom:

Another day goes by~

(old) cat shaped things

Meta has a history of torturing their moderators and providing NOTHING in the way of mental health care. How do I know? Because I used to be a moderator for Meta and I got a $3,500 settlement for the PTSD they gave me.

When we tried to unionize, they moved their moderation to the Philippines.

Why tf are we calling ai errors and mess ups as ai "hallucinations" now?

A computer can't hallucinate...

Just call it what it is.
Ai junk.
Ai slop.
Ai trash.

I feel a little silly sharing this, but it's still one of my fave bits of unfinished art.

A song I wrote and recorded a demo for back in 2005.

Guitar + bass performed by me, recorded on a vintage 8 track analogue mixer, using a pedal filter.
Drums are a loop sample added in post.

As usual—if somebody lies to you, the liar is the one doing the bad thing, not you for failing to expertly see through it.

Like, yes, of course you should exercise caution, but there is only so much diligence you can reasonably muster in a day when you’re inundated with lies all the time.

I’ll say this and then I’ll leave it alone

What adult peoples decide to do behind closed doors with other consenting adult peoples is their decision. What they decide to do with themselves is their own decision.

If what gets someone’s rocks off don’t directly affect you? Shut the fuck up.

Some victory
