Hi! I’m Julie. I’m an artist who hasn’t made art in a hot minute. I started my masters this past Aug in mass communication. I live in Texas with a small community of loved ones in a university town. I have worked as IT help desk tech since 2008 & really enjoy it. I’m a pet parent with a cat & dog

‘The Owl House’ creator Dana Terrace responds to Disney+ funding AI-generated short form content in new tweet:

“Unsubscribe from Disney+. Pirate Owl House. I don’t care. Fuck gen AI.”

I’m writing about the need for AI literacy

AI does not belong in art. It does not belong in music. It does not belong in any creative pursuit.

AI should be finding me cheap groceries and coupons, mowing my lawn, dusting my shelves, and folding and putting away my laundry.

*I* make art. Not AI.

One of the things I took away from the 60s and Richard Nixon, first mentioned by Hunter Thompson, but I believe to be true, is the fact that we believed, at time, that all our protesting, marching and sign waving was futile and pointless when in fact, it drove Richard Nixon to alcohol fueled madness

Labour’s response to over 100,000 fascists in the streets of London is to appease them

Labour’s response to peaceful protesters demanding an end to genocide is to arrest over 1,000 people and now they are increasing police power.

Starmer is continuing the Tory project.
When Labour came to power last year it followed 14 years of Tory rule in which international monitors had issued stark warnings about the UK's "authoritarian turn" through crackdowns on political protest and migrants' rights. Starmer is continuing that project.

I don’t recognize the country I live in anymore when I see the news

It’s very dissonant from my lived reality and I know it’s a huge amount of privilege that keeps me safe

Just thinking today of all the colleagues who called us alarmists and cranks when we pointed out that Trump was talking and acting like a fascist in 2016

No, I mean right now. Go tell someone you loved their work right now. They're on social media just say it, it has never been easier

"They know how much people love--" no they don't go say it right now to a composer or artist or game dev or writer or anyone AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

I don't think there has been a generation before which has been so thoroughly failed by the adults around them at every stage. It's amazing that they still have such moral clarity and initiative. God bless them.

I can’t help but think that “AI” actress that has been “invented” is basically a way to silence actors and actresses on their political stances as many of them have been more and more vocal lately

Texas Tech isn't the only university system handing down chilling, verbal-only directives banning discussions about transgender identity. If this is happening at your institution, I want to know about it--reach me on Signal at emmawhitford.96

Texas Ban on Transgender Course Content Sows Chaos
Verbal-only policies prohibiting academic discussions of trans identity appear to be extending beyond the Texas Tech system and now include anti-trans curricular reviews.
