Koraandnova - Kicking My Feet & Cuddling A Pillow Sorrowfully

A kiss by the river, between a bat and a fish? I don't know but it's lovely!

Sunny bullied me to post this art so if it flops I'll delete it ASAP 😹 color palettes are picked from the lesbian and trans flags! I drew it to help raise funds to organize my town's Pride this year 🔥

hey, if bullied for being autistic, in the way that you were ‘too’ trusting or ‘too’ gullible or ‘too’ naive made you spiteful and jaded and defensive, I hope you’re doing okay. I hope you can find people who are deserving of your trust and your belief. I hope you grow to understand that it was never your fault, and still isn’t.

You may be single-handedly responsible for making me at least 25% more neurodivergent than I already was. I cannot thank you enough for that

i don't think that's possible but i find the prospect of this wonderful anyway

for no reason whatsoever here’s a reminder that if you consider yourself a leftist/punk/abolitionist/anarchist/radical in any sort of way and get called into jury duty, you are to become the most square person on earth during the jury questionnaire!!!

don’t be that guy who says fuck the police in the jury questionnaire! that just gets you sent home! if you want to generate change, interact with the case and use your jury vote for good! ESPECIALLY if it’s a high profile case!

I guess I’m not done having emotions about AI art yet

Ethical AI usage has plenty of room for the “wow!” and “this is so fun!” factor, among other personal uses. I just think that right now, the dataset acquisition is reprehensible, the enrichment of the company owners at the expense of artists is the absolute worst of capitalist amorality, and AI art is not capable of providing a net positive to culture until these issues are resolved.

There is not really any ethical use of AI to generate art if you aren’t using your own datasets and running it on your computer.

With big companies like Midjourney, you will be using datasets acquired without consent. You will also be providing more data and money to help the business do better theft.

I totally get why it’s fun. It feels like visualizing dreams. Referencing things that are familiar in this surreal ways. I love that some folks seem to be having this cool community experience with it, sharing things and learning. It must feel enriching.

I wish that the system that your joy enriches were not *so terrible*. They do not deserve you.

My ire is always aimed at the system, the moneybags, not the people who are navigating the same moral complexities I am and often reaching different but equally valid conclusions.

That said, I am asking friends of mine who do it for fun to consider if this is the fun you have to do? There are *so many* fun artistic pursuits. Right now this one is on the forefront of everyone’s minds because it’s novel, but…we don’t have to do it.

We don’t have to help the people hurting artists because we are having fun with it.

Growing up is actually all about realizing people don’t inherently dislike you and it’s a bit odd to assume they do
