This #InternationalWomensDay, we're asking what more can be done to level the playing field and create more opportunities for women to sustain creative careers in 2026.

Santa Cruz restaurant changes logo after flurry of negative reviews A restaurant's colorful logo of an otter on a surfboard caused backlash on Yelp.

Santa Cruz has long run on an unofficial motto: Keep Santa Cruz Weird. But ripping off living artists with AI-generated sea otter logos? That’s not weird—it’s just lazy. In a town built on local art and creativity, algorithmic knockoffs miss the whole point.

I just made the switch from #Spotify to @qobuz.bsky.social today. If you're going to listen to #BadBunny do it on a platform that pays its artists more. 💃

The Cartoon Trend - but actual artist who have drawn me. Featuring art by @xmen_fan_tees @crimsonartsillustration @giganticwinslow @jims_wee_sketches @wond3rm0m @roasif.art @sinagrace @joeprydecosplay & @terryblas #dmandamartini #noaiart #fanart #payartists

Spotify sucked long before the ICE controversy, and continues to suck because they don't #PayArtists

If drawing is easy, then draw it yourself, dumbass!

Attention mostly on the football, but also enjoying the #TotP commentary. Apart from the ones that reference a tune with only a Spotify link. Don't have it, not gettng it. What song are you talking about?

If your board game - hell, any type of game - is going to use AI generated art - even if it's "artist assisted," I'm not wasting my money on it.

Pay artists. Pay creatives. Fuck AI generation of art and writing.

Bless Shirley, because she's effing right. I have a friend who used to be a working musician in the SF Bay Area. Meaning, he didn't have any other job. Did he make a lot of money? No, but he was able to support himself. #Music #PayArtists #Spotify #Streaming

Whilst we recognise the potential of AI to support innovation across the creative sector - it's more important than ever that visual creators are supported through protected rights, recognition and fair pay.

And I say again... Good.

No. Just no. #PayArtists

I think #WorkForExposure should be #illegal.

I'm still years #BehindSchedule on all my #webcomic projects. But I'd be able to #CatchUp if I could get #paid for doing my #art.

I'm years #BehindSchedule on all my #webcomic projects. For example, The Science Dimension should have been published in 2021. I couldn't finish it on time because I had a lot of time stolen from me being a #WageSlave. That's why I #need to #MakeMoney from #MyArt.

Did you know it's nearly been 20 years since the Artist Resale Right came to the UK? In that time, over £134 million has been paid out to more than 6,600 artists and estates - all thanks to royalties from the resale of their work. 🎨💸

God I seriously wish I was connected to more #artists to discuss the issues of AI in the creative space with. This #wizardofoz at the sphere topic is really getting to me and now I've just heard a new 💩 take on it and I just want to vent and discuss. #art #fuckai #payartists #noaiart

✨ Nothing says “I respect artists” like asking them to work for free, right?
“Just a quick sample” = “I’m about to disappear with your art and ghost you harder than your ex.” 🕯️💀

Art isn’t charity.

If your offer starts with “we can’t pay much,”
I’m not the one.

I don’t discount myself just to be “grateful.”

#AIart is just a variation of the same #problem that #artists have had for many years.

If I had $1 billion, I could do more #art.

You know, I shouldn't have to say this, but if you are an arts organization, I should not receive emails from you that use AI-generated images. Don't you have a membership of artists you could PAY for their artwork for your email? #PayArtists #CanadianArt #STEAMnotSTEM 🇨🇦
