On Sunday, me and two other women outed our abuser on IG. I created this art because people seem to believe in paranormal entities and aliens over women and survivors. I urge all of you to unpack your own misogyny and believe people when they tell you who someone is to keep our communities safe 💜
Butterflies in the skyyyy!

Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid.
The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING.
Call retiring Senators too!

A chart titled “Number Crunching”. First column says 500 ml ChatGPT needs to Drink up to 500ml of clean fresh water for a simple conversation of roughly 20-50 q&as. Next column states Microsoft’s San Francisco data center is estimated to have used 700,000 liters of clean water to train Open AI’s GPT-3 model. The training had an additional off-site water footprint of 2.8 million liters due to electricity usage. Top column says GPT-3 has a combined water footprint of 3.5 million liters in the U.S., which would have risen to 4.9 million liters if trained in the Asia-Pacific. Underneath states, The new launched GPT-4 is likely to have a significantly larger water footprint. The next column states Warehouse-scale data Centers where most AI models are trained and deployed, collectively account for 2% of the global electricity usage. Next column says Google’s self-owned data centers in the US consumed 16 billion liters of fresh water- 90% of it potable-for on-site cooling in 2021. Last column says Microsoft’s giant data centre complex in North Holland consumed 84 million liters of water in 2021, at a time of severe water shortages.

While I recognize and appreciate the uses AI has for the disability and medical communities, I still think it is important to consider alternatives when generating AI “art”. There are environmental and ethical implications when generating images. I see a lot of AI being used on here.
It really is. 💜😔
It’s so difficult to avoid seeing so much news now. I have to be intentional with my phone time now and set boundaries with myself on how much I consume.
Thank you! It was awesome!
