Happy Earth Day.

this is it right here. AI violates Vonnegut's number 1 rule for writers: "Use the time of a total stranger in such a way that he or she will not feel the time was wasted." AI shifts the burden of effort from the writer onto the reader/audience and that is unacceptable

we are all tired

Feminists for ages: we are not just vaginas and baby making parts.

A trans woman enters the room.

Those same feminists: we are only vaginas and baby making parts.

Fucking clowns.

critically important toggle; they'll slap this one on stuff that just has, like, queer slogans or pride iconography, because this website's moderation is shit from an ass

I do not want to create an account or open a subscription I just want to buy a thing and never hear from you again why is this so hard.

AI star symbol.

It's funny (not funny) how this ubiquitous symbol screams 'beware, incoming trash!' I have an instant reaction of revulsion whenever it pops up.

If you want to commission me you have to defeat my 7 evil regulars

"irreversible side effects of HRT" all of life is irreversible. i cannot go back a single second in time

Tumblr user thereisselfpreservation "I'm seeing warnings about scammers trying to commission artists but the "reference sheet" for their character they want commissioned isn't an image but a .vbs file ("visual basic script"), and will run a script when you open it, probably to yoink your account(s), but I haven't seen this from anyone who's actually clicked it yet. Just be careful and never open a file like that, 'cause people suck." Reply from the same user: "For reference (heh)" Screenshots of messages. Sender: "Okay, I've sent it now." There's a file attachment called "Shork_YCH_MyReference_v1.vbs". The vbs extension is circled. Sender: "If everything is in order, I can send the overpayment." Sender, in reply to the file attachment (again with the vbs extension circled): "How much would the full piece cost?" thereisselfpreservation: "At a glance, the file name checks out. But!! do not open a .vbs file!!!

You should know that the infamous I Love You virus uses the same trick - Always make sure to turn on 'show file extensions' in your windows/browser settings.

how is anyone supposed to get work done dude. that's live. that's earth, right now, right this minute, and in an hour they are gonna splash in the sea. too in awe to think about where we'd be if this is what we funneled our tax dollars to instead of bombs that make gas prices quintuple overnight

An illustration of the Seven of Wands tarot card, portraying Lady Amalthea in her Unicorn form standing boldly front and center. She is surrounded by the spirits of her Unicorn kin, rising from the sea foam behind her, with the flames of the Red Bull closing in.

Happy National Unicorn Day! ✨

I offer up the Seven of Wands, illustrated for the Officially Licensed Last Unicorn Tarot, available from Geekify!

May she remind you to stand your ground and persevere with courage. 💖

I don't even have or want kids, and I can't stand being around them. But I do want them to be fed and educated, and I'm more than happy to be taxed for it.
Sure feels better than using the money to blow up other kids on the other side of the world, anyway. Maybe I'm crazy 🤷🏼‍♀️

the nicest thing you can wish upon an artist in 2026 is that their work gains a small but dedicated cult following of kind hearted and politically shrewd weirdos & sickos that keep the fire going. the meanest thing you can wish upon an artist in 2026 is that their work gains a large online fandom

*sigh*
If your Kickstarter video/image is AI, I won't back it.
If your book has an AI cover, I won't read it.
If you're a public supporter of AI use for creative work, I will unfollow you.
I cannot stress enough how offensive I find AI use in the arts. It is outright theft, it is lazy, it is gross.

*mutter* That annoying discovery that one of your own character would be tapping his foot and looking down his mask at you.

losing contact with the earth for 40 minutes sounds nice

those horrible we like tha moon guys. i’m really dating myself with this one

my whole feed today

I mean, you don't really need a translator

Isaac Chotiner: You say the two cats who live in your house are "Jerks" and you don't care for them
Me: Absolutely. They are the burdens of my life
Chotiner: It seems you spent an hour searching for special food for them and paid more for it than you do even for your own food.
Me: That's--Hold on,

seeing a lot of "higher gas prices won't affect me because I don't drive very much" and unfortunately it is my sad duty to inform you that your food does not teleport to the grocery store

Reminder do NOT keeps funds in PayPal like it's a bank. It's not. It doesn't matter if you're a SFW or NSFW Artist.

If you sneeze wrong they will freeze your account and you will not get to access that money at all. Make sure you're transferring it out as often as you can.

Directory of No Gen AI Artists

Just checked today and the No gen AI directory seems to have no more pending apps?? AND the application form is open? That can't be right. Anyway, appreciate any shares to get this into the hands of people who need visual artists for their projects!

Every single person I know and met has an element of their past they're not proud of, or learned or grew from. Everyone I know has thought and/or done something they today regret, or abhor. Anyone who believes otherwise of themselves is dangerously delusional at best, a dangerous liar at worst.
