This country deserves better than the majority of its politicians. It is almost unfathomable to believe that elections are fair with how little the public benefits from any of their decisions. #politics #america #truth #fact #democrats #GOP

Been studying German several hours a day since April and have become conversational. I work for a German company and I’m going to surprise some coworkers this Thursday! Wish me luck. #language #deutsch #german

Developing an artistic skill is an act of self-creation and self-discovery as much as a means to making tangible art. He who creates with a prompt will never discover the prompt of his own creation.

I have always found that when processing something difficult, turning it into art is the final step of overcoming it. As if making the art is the act of taking it out of my mind and putting it somewhere else. No AI user will experience this transformative power of art. #art #ai #aiart
A pen sketch of a pill bottle and the start of chapter one of a book: 1 “So you really thought you were God?” she asked with a genuine curiosity. “What did it feel like?” “Honestly, on some level it felt pretty great,” I said. “No doubts in your mind, no questions about the universe; everything just felt ‘true.’” “Ok, so what did it feel like on the other ‘levels’?” she followed up with a chuckle. “Absolutely fucking terrifying,” I said bluntly. “That last little bit of your sanity becomes a small passenger at the back of your mind, not in control, watching everything go up in flames as you lose touch with reality. Your mind moving faster and faster—nothing making sense—but the wheels keep turning and accepting every piece of nonsensical thought as some ‘ultimate truth.’ Not to mention the terrified reactions from the people that you share your newfound deific status with. In hindsight, it was a pretty fascinating thing to experience, but I really wouldn’t recommend it.” “Wow,” she said. “I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone quite like you before, Olivia.” “How did you end up here, Eva?” I asked. “I tried to take my own life,” she said. “I couldn’t even do that right.”

Hold the line and stay true to your inner creativity. What a real artist can birth from nothing will always outperform a soulless machine. There will never be artificial divinity. #art #AI #aiart

Art can protest and change the world, it can make us feel something in a cruel and unfeeling world, or it could be a piece of beauty that just helps us get through the day.

No matter what kind of #art you are making, keep making it.

Been slowly leveling up my studio to make it a true creative paradise. I now have some cozy chairs in this little coffee spot. Notice the stack of paintings on the coffee table because I don’t have enough wall or storage space for all my paintings.

Love it down here! #art

One of the most random skills I had to learn as part of a passion project was how to make my own font. The whole project hinged on me being able to have a font with characters I designed. IYKYK fonts are very difficult to make. But it came out great! #font

3 The gap between where our bodies stood quickly closed and I leaned forward to kiss her. We kicked off our shoes and I wrapped my arms around her and our lips pressed together softly. Our hands shifted on each other’s bodies as the kissing became more forceful. I slid one of my hands down into the back of her pants and grabbed her bare ass. She hummed and then gripped tightly onto my shirt again to pull me closer. I put one hand behind her head, ran my fingers through her hair and finally grabbed onto a fistful as our tongues emerged and brushed gently across one another. I placed my other hand on one of her perfect breasts and caressed it. She let out a gasp and pressed her chest out toward me. I took a glance down the top of her shirt to see her held snugly in a white bra. Our breathing became heavier and she pulled her shirt over her head. In a flash, I unclipped her bra with my hand and it fell to the floor. I immediately picked her up so that her chest was in line with my face and she wrapped her legs around me. I pressed my face into her and began to kiss her sweet skin, in between teasing her raised nipples with my tongue. I carried her to the bed and laid her down, our lips intertwined again and our breaths heavy.
