This Is Just To Say
I have turned off
the AI features
that were in
the update
and which
you were probably
hoping
to monetize
Fuck you
they were stupid
so unnecessary
and so annoying
not a SINGLE goddamn ONE
The rehabilitation of the luddites is a beautiful thing
Dragon like figure yeongno
The Yeongno, is a Korean mythical creature known as a "celestial eater of the rich," this dragon-like monster seeks to consume 100 corrupt politicians, the wealthy, the powerful, etc in order to return to heaven. A cathartic symbol of social justice.
Yeah so he is just going to keep doing the thing where we are in a constant state of uncertainty, confusion, stress, and tension because that is what abusive people do and the people who are in a position to address this are asleep at the switch.
The thing about Adobe before Creative Cloud (or whatever they are calling it now) is it was so fucking expensive.
But it was WORTH IT.
Both because it was good and because it was YOURS.
As long as your output was good you did not have to upgrade.
They've removed that and added all this AI bs

My aunt, the doctor,
told me a new joke.
She asked:
Why do they call
the BA.3.2. Covid variant
“Cicada”?
I said I did not know.
So she replied:
Because being in
this pandemic’s 7th year
makes you want to go outside

And then, neither of us laughed.
Creativity is not a talent. It's a process and a practice available to everyone.

YOU ARE AN ARTIST WITH FREE WILL. YOU CAN DRAW YOUR FAVORITE THINGS. YOU ARE AN ARTIST WITH FREE WILL. YOU CAN DRAW BAD AND ITS OK. YOU ARE AN ARTIST WITH FREE WILL. YOU CAN TRY DIFFERENT MEDIUMS. YOU ARE AN ARTIST WITH FREE WILL. YOU CAN DRAW YOUR FAVES FUCKING NASTY. YOU ARE AN ARTIST WITH FREE WI
Disability accommodations are a rare thing that actually trickles down. You like curb cutouts? Auto-opening doors? Jar openers? Ramps? Hand rails? YOU’RE WELCOME
Even as an abled person you use disability accommodations every single day.
Supporting accommodations actually helps everyone.
one was a truck tire salesman, retired and spent the rest of his years volunteering in the NICU. the other was a dairy farmer and died young.
Actually yes I am saying that you shouldn’t dehumanize anyone
No exceptions to the rule

Every day the fucking news has me like this
Ramadan Mubarak!

Exasperatingly frequently necessary reminder that the weaponization of ableism and fatphobia and homophobia and transphobia against your political enemies still works to NORMALIZE those things, thus SYSTEMICALLY HARMING your supposed allies.
being an artist is just decades of going "ugh I wish I knew how to draw" over and over again until you die

a private equity firm has purchased the united states
so much of our present misery is just a giant, prolonged backlash to integration
The process of drawing is a split between "it's so over" and "we're so back" and practicing is for the end goal of making the latter feeling greater than 50%.
Democratizing the arts looks like universal income, low-barrier grants for both emerging and working artists, well-funded municipal arts & recreation programs, vibrant third spaces, and a well-funded public school system with progressive curriculum.
Not a free pass for corporate-owned slop engines.
Love to go grocery shopping and then realize the next day I don’t want to cook or eat ANYTHING I have planned and so I just make pasta yes I am neurodivergent why do you ask.
Swear to god, ICE could just announce they're leaving a city but not leave and the media will just stop covering that city completely even though ICE never left.
It's what ICE and the media did with LA and they're doing it with Minneapolis too
I think it's best for everyone to understand that the unified class project of billionaires right now is to do to white collar workers what globalization and neoliberalism did to blue collar workers.
IMAGE: a stylized cell phone with flames coming out of it. TEXT: Delete the Starbucks app off your phone. Seriously. Starbucks is the biggest violator of labor law in modern history. We have the power to tell them union-busting is bad for business. Don't shop at Starbucks until they do better by their baristas!
If Starbucks won’t respect workers at the bargaining table, they don’t deserve our clicks or orders.
Our call to action is simple:
📱 Delete the Starbucks app. #DeleteTheApp
