Hey friends! November's Lelomail theme is "Made with love" (quite ironic that I was working on this theme celebrating art as human expression while my latest post about the AI-generated stamp blew up on IG, haha.)

Did u know? You don't get much for free in life,but used cafe coffee grounds are one of them. If you see them being given away in cafes, grab some & add them to your compost heap. They're rich in nutrients that plants need to thrive, are great soil conditioners & great for acid loving plants. 🌿🌱🇬🇧🌱🌍☕

obviously there’s nothing wrong with being good at math, and I also don’t believe that studying the humanities is some sort of magic anti-evil antidote, but our society has become truly pathologically unbalanced with how much Good At Math is valued over everything else
terminal Math Brain truly is a cancer that is eating the world
I think the belief by the powerful that "people will put up with many things if you are excellent at math" is incredibly revealing in terms of understanding How We Got Here

Um yeah that sign would be very simple to make with either a lazer cutter, water cutter, or pouring into forms… someone ripped him off big time most likely.
Trump: Take a look at this if you want to see detail. Most people do a sign and paint it on the wall. So that's half inch thick bronze. Carved. By a very talented person. And it's brass. It's pure brass.

Lordy today has been a bit of a mess, oh well good news I can just write it off as a waste of a day thankfully. I also hate I can tell how chaotic my life has been lately by how messy my room and closet have gotten the last month or so. Don’t have energy today to do anything about it, but tomorrow…

please help your children learn to interact with the world, it will make their lives (and everyone else’s!) so much easier

It's so discouraging to post art when you see how fucked up the ratio of like to repost is. Just please, do the second click, it's literally few seconds and does so much more for struggling artists.

Republicans demand tougher abortion restrictions to extend Obamacare funds
Democrats say that’s a nonstarter, arguing there are already limits on abortion access. The dispute could torpedo a deal, leading to higher health insurance premiums for millions.

Ok time to attempt sleep, or maybe just stare at the ceiling. Please remember to take your meds and drink some water. May you Tuesday bring a moment or two, hopefully more, of calm. Panda hopes you have a moment of fun and play, especially some tug-a-war. Goodnight and Aloha🌺

The reason why I'm so angry has a lot to do with the lives that will be lost — people are absolutely going to die as a direct result of Senate Democrats folding on health care. It also has a lot to do with the suffering that was endured — people were struggling to get by without food assistance. 🧵

Currently debating if the reason I can’t sleep even though I am absolutely wiped out is due to me actually being hungry and I should go grab a little snack, or is it something else like being too tired to fall asleep, bodies are so weird!

No, using AI generated stuff as a "placeholder" on your crowdfunding campaign is not OK either.
If the visuals are THAT important to getting your project funded, then you need to pay a person up front for those key visuals and deliver a consistent end product to your backers.
