'People Are Panicking About AI Tools The Same Way They Did When The Calculator Was Invented, Stop Worrying'

I have been seeing so many ads using AI on here and it really upsets me. That’s how you know a company is dogshit, if they can’t even be bothered to hire a real artist.

It's so bad that companies are making ai ads dunking ai.

And people are using ai to edit an ai generated image/video.

Make of that what you will.

the owl house said, outright, "don't forgive someone when they refuse to admit they're wrong."

AND

"you are not a bad person for not forgiving someone who ruined your life."

AND!!

"bigots are not owed forgiveness."

AND!!!

"forgiveness is great, but be careful. some people will take advantage of it. you do not owe anyone fourteenth chances. you have the right to not forgive someone. especially if they've spat in your face before."

AND!!!!

"some people are beyond forgiveness not because they were born evil, but because they CHOSE to become unforgivable and to go down. you are not responsible for them facing the consequences of their actions and you are NOT a bad person for not feeling sympathetic for them."

thank you dana this show is a GIFT

HEY, FELLOW HATERS OF INSANELY-BRIGHT CAR HEADLIGHTS, SOMEONE HAS STARTED A PETITION TO REGULATE THEM.

It's an official petition through the Australian Government's e-petition page, which means if it gets enough signatures, it will be tabled in government.

You do have to be an Australian citizen to sign it, BUT!!! PLEASE REBLOG THIS EVEN IF YOURE NOT, because these kind of things have a roll-on effect, and if Australia legislates LED headlights, then other countries may follow.

FYI, the petition asks only for your name and email, and once you've clicked the sign button, they'll send you an email to confirm your signature --- you need to click the confirmation link in the email to have your signature counted.

Trick or treat! :3c

Hey God? Can you give us queer people your protection to exist? I saw an angel in a trench coat trying to help earlier, but I don't think he's powerful enough to bless more than a couple of us at a time, and he's busy with some guy with an old car.

All queer people have always had my protection to exist.

And that’s not stopping today or anytime soon.

Keep living.

Trump Wants Snitches to Report on DEI. There’s Just One Problem.

Donald Trump wants people to expose diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in the federal government. The idea is already flopping.

The threat was loud and clear: Report your so-called “DEI” employees or else. What exactly “DEIA or similar ideologies” means is up in the air, but the message was out there. And so was the email address of the DEIA snitching hotline. Fake emails quickly started to roll in. ‘I don’t care, fuck these McCarthyite bastards,” one BlueSky user said, with an screenshot attached of an email to the hotline where he ironically reported Donald Trump and JD Vance for being “put in their positions solely because of their race and/or gender despite the fact that they are wholly unqualified for their jobs and, in some cases, have criminal records.” “Anyone have a script to fire off a billion e-mails an hour??” another user asked in the replies. “Anyone can email anything of any size even if it crashes the site,” one X user noted. The scope and effectiveness of this latest phase of Trump’s anti-DEI crusade remains to be seen.

additionally i think a lot of us remain helplessly dependent on self flagellation and punishment believing it to be discipline/self control because we are not taught to believe that care and deliberate healing and patience and attention are disciplines themselves

abstract and modern art haters are sooo snobby like klein literally Created an entirely new pigment and then painted a canvas in a way where the brush strokes wouldn't be visible. the insinuation that people with no skill could reproduce that is so annoying because unless you are skilled at color mixing and painting you definitely couldn’t lmao

Hey guys. It’s okay to process your emotions right now. Feel the disbelief and the anger and the grief. And then remember that your world is not the White House or even all of America but your neighborhood, your family, your friends, your local communities. Get involved on small human levels. Learn to cook tasty meals, support small businesses, volunteer, enjoy the sun. Engage with your favorite fictions for the joy of it. Politicians aren’t bogeymen who can be ever and always present— this time will pass like all others and in the meantime you have the power to root yourself and better the corner of the world you’re in. Be strong, find happiness, and do the things you love with people you love.

Current version of Roisin from my upcoming project Esterhedge! I’m really proud of her current design, they bring me a lot of happiness. They kinda remind me of beta Amity from TOH design wise. Older concepts avaliable on my artfol and Instagram (same name on both). . . . #artconcept #art #artistsoninstagram #esterhedgewebcomic #conceptart #artconcept
