Democratizing the arts looks like universal income, low-barrier grants for both emerging and working artists, well-funded municipal arts & recreation programs, vibrant third spaces, and a well-funded public school system with progressive curriculum.
Not a free pass for corporate-owned slop engines.

Every instance of "AI democratizes the arts, you're classist and ableist and a gatekeeper for trying to stop it" is a slap in the face to the literally centuries of poor, disabled people making art on the margins and a crass lie in service of a machine that strips down and regurgitates dreams

I need everyone to know that on the crochet subreddit the mods made a big post about how they're taking a week off because there was too much fighting/political posts. so there's currently no mods on r/crochet and people are being absolutely insane

Is it possible to write a program to monitor a venue's booking site to alert when some days are open? I'm checking a venue in Berkeley but its weekend spots go fast! Someone's also locked in reoccurring slots, but occasionally a cancellation opens up.
Don't suggest using AI. Just don't. Thanks!

I remember a college professor of mine going on a rant about how the world was owned and ruined by “five old white men on yachts”
And I remember thinking, well, it’s probably more that people don’t examine their own actions, it’s not like a couple of people control the world
But you know what
