I hold such deep hatred for disney. the fact they fired every single artist who made the MCU what it is is fucking insanity.

I’m hate watching the 3rd season of Euphoria. Without Labrinth’s music, it feels so flat and desperate.

The AuDHD experience of getting accused of being manipulative by people who *should* know you well enough to know that you’re literally just trying to survive each day. I don’t have the cognitive space available to be scheming, lol.

I’ve had this reoccurring dream (for at least a decade) about my older self and I’m stepping into a gallery with these super tall white walls and there’s these huge paintings hanging up. They’re vibrant, lush, and I’m intensely moved when I realize it’s MY art. I’m on my way to realizing it. 🥲

I just got my fall class schedule. Y’all, I am SO excited to get into a cozy grad school cocoon, disassemble everything I think I know, rearrange all those bits, and emerge on the other side with myself and my art transformed. 🦋

Lynne Thigpen as "The Chief" from Where In Time Is Carmen Sandiego

Lock the fuck in, Gumshoes. Carmen Sandiego stole a priceless wax pressing of "One of These Nights" by the Eagles. You've got to stop her before she travels back in time to 149 BC Carthage and trades it to Scipio Africanus the Younger for a kilo of the good shit.

gender failure gonzo

Its not a hot take but man the way the word "content" is used these days. A vile bit of late stage capitalist propaganda, lumping all forms of human creativity and expression into a single wastebin teaching the public to treat all art as disposable.

I’m so tired.

I don't want to shoot videos
I don't want to post tutorials
I don't want to show my process
I don't want to pour varnish
I don't want to turn my canvas
I don't want to record my screen
I don't want to cultivate parasocial relationships
I just want to make pictures and shitpost

I’m on day 4 of insomnia!! Aaaaa

Record profits are unpaid wages and unpaid taxes.

I don't recall any previous transformative technologies that had to be sold to the public so hard. No one in 1999 was going, "Guys. Cell phone? It's coming, whether we like it or not. I think it's important, FOR WOMEN ESPECIALLY, to learn about cell phone. So that we're not left behind!!"

CHARLIE BROWN: Yes mistress, you're right, mistress, I'm a blockhead! a hopeless blockhead!

DOMINATRIX: wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah

Fix your hearts or die.

Clavicular Homicide is a good band name.

Good luck to the parents of babies born today!

The code is not vibing today huh

Is it this Aries stellium happening??

Thank you!

Insomnia night… 3? I did my taxes and should’ve crashed hours ago but my brain won’t quit. I gave up and walked around outside looking for moths and net this guy by my door. Soooo fuzzy. Unfortunately I’m now even more wired.

This is how I have to roll, too. Post it flags are helpful!

58% of Photographers Have Lost Work to Generative AI: Survey Commissioned works are down.

98.4% [of photographers] want $ for past infringements by ai corps.

96.1% believe there should be mandatory labeling for ai-generated works.

89.9% not interested in licensing their images as data for machine learning.

85.3% want default position to be ‘opt-in’ for ai training, not ‘opt-out.’

Anti AI Stickers — Kelly McKernan Designed including my piece “Kalopsia” which was created to illustrate the ecological damage that generative AI is causing with its obscene use of power. Stickers are 3” x 3” and made with weather saf...

These are stickers I designed to protest AI in the arts, and when you buy them, you’re supporting a single non-binary parent to a genderfluid kiddo in need of funds to move out of Tennessee in 6 weeks. Every little bit helps. 🙏🏻
