fuck hussle culture, the toad to success is to sleep well, eat well and have fun
Lots of thoughts recently. Everything feels plastic.
I could go on and on about why all that AI "art" is bad. I could mention theft, lack of creativity, it's impact on the work field and environment, but countless people have already said all that. I wanted to touch on something that to me is the most utterly wrong about all of it.
Art is more than just something pretty to look at or listen to. It's therapeutic. It's a form of communication. A tool for human connection. It's a pure, human need.
Support real artists ☀️
me and stevo talk about the commodification of alternative crowds
When I read “taking your blorbos places”, I briefly thought you meant “becoming your own blorbo”, and I was like “wait, that’s just narcissism”.
Bro loves everything to do with the Ocean and Marine-life creatures :D
More Photos under cut!!!
Corbin Starling is my vampire oc! Son of Orpheus baux (who, I’ve shared before) and Charlie Starling (friend’s OC). He has this whole Ocean theme going on, so I thought it be fitting to bring him to my aquarium trip :3
The “we’re doing it to cut costs” argument lookin’ real fake rn
I’m just going to leave this here
Preserving Play is a documentary web series that follows those doing the work, preserving video game history. Through this series I hope the viewer will learn more about preservation, know why it's important, and get involved.
Preserving Play 1 follows Andrew Czudak of the Hitsave! nonprofit, as he explores how he got into video game preservation and how there's room for anyone to get involved as well!
So, save your disks.

Hey everyone, I know it's going to be a busy day for a lot of people, but Google enrolled everyone over 18 into their AI program automatically.
If you have a google account, first go to gemini.google.com/extensions and turn everything off.
Then you need to go to myactivity.google.com/product/gemini and turn off all Gemini activity tracking. You do have to do them in that order to make sure it works.
Honestly, I'm not sure how long this will last, but this should keep Gemini off your projects for a bit.
I saw this over on bluesky and figured it would be good to spread on here. It only takes a few minutes to do.
