✂️ Yesterday I finally responded to @agakowalska.bsky.social’s challenge to make a collage from a single piece of packaging. I present to you a green (tea) woodpecker, made from a big Yorkshire Tea box. It was fun and I’ll be rooting through our recycling bin for more materials later on ♻️

"But I have to use AI slop cos I can't draw waaah waaah"

Bollocks. I can paint tabletop minis to a decent standard, but I can't draw for shit. So, I got a digital art app and spent hours drawing, erasing and drawing again until I'd finished these, based on my photos. Put the work in you lazy twats🖕🏼

In the UK add that possession of CSAM is a strict liability criminal offence, prison sentence 2-3 years. No proof that you sought the material is required. People can be and have been convicted after receiving unsolicited images. This is a serious risk, using X in the UK now.
Ask your employer tomorrow why they operate an official account on the Twitter/X web service that built a child sexual assault materials generation machine & why they tacitly approve of pedophilia. Have your fellow employees ask the same question.
