Hi! I love stories told through novels, music, video games and art. I hope to tell my own stories someday & create a few fan projects along the way. I am currently trying to get back into drawing.
Hopefully there's enough non ai made shit still out there. Feels like everyday it invades more into our lives. Getting tired of trying to boycott everything and not trusting anything made today bc ppl can't put humans and our world above money and bots. I HATE IT HERE.
It's days like today that I'm thankful I have video games and music playlists that help me cope with my life. When I can't talk to family & friends about my feelings, it's usually these two things that encourage me to keep going through my love of art and storytelling that these hobbies keep alive.

Can we just jumpcut to the part where the overuse of ai forces us all to reboot and restart as humans just trying to live happy lives with friends and family on Earth? And maybe this time society doesn't engage with ai and money? Thanks. 😮💨

I’m horrified to hear that two people were kidnapped by ICE in Evanston this morning.
There’s a protest at Home Depot shortly. We’ll be delivering water and supplies to protesters — I hope you’ll join us in standing with our community.

Censoring the press isn't enough for the Trump administration. Now they're even trying to censor court records that discuss the press's reporting.
This is unheard of.

Opposition Filed Against DOJ Effort to Strike Context from Complaint About Qatar’s ‘Gifted’ Jet to Trump Administration - American Oversight
As the DOJ refuses the prompt release of a memo clearing the Qatari jet ‘gift,’ Freedom of the Press Foundation, represented by American Oversight, argues against erasing this context and the agency’s continued delays.

Want to read the Epstein files? Or important climate reports? You’ll probably need a FOIA office for that.
Use FPF's new tool to help us tell Congress that Trump’s decimation of FOIA offices is unacceptable. Americans deserve access to all their records.

We filed a brief opposing the SEC "gag rule," which bars those who settle with the SEC from talking to reporters to protect the SEC's reputation.
We shouldn't need to say this, but the government doesn't get to censor its critics to make itself look good.

Just a reminder that authoritarians use the vulnerabilities of liberal democracy against itself, including concepts of "free speech" and the "healthy exchange of ideas."
They do not value these things. They are not sincerely held principles. They're cudgels and they will erase them once in power.

I don’t just want you to pay attention to Chicago because I want you to understand our plight. I want you to see how hard people are fighting and know wtf you’re made of. We’re not just fighting for this place. This is for all of us.

I think people take for granted the ability to post freely on the internet. Our ability to do so is endangered. Social media isn't going away but the powers that be are hyper focused on making it an echo chamber

Reading book that mentions early detection of COVID-19 in sewage that includes summary of early days of detection, outbreak. Brought me back to those days like a tide and I thought wow, I lived thru that.
And I had this sudden soothing thought:
Someday these days, too, will be in a history book

I've said something like this before, and I'll be mindful of it as it's not intended to dismiss but strengthen - against the pressures of creating for an audience or fear of rejection. Nobody is asking you to be an island, but remember you are feeding yourself first - make what ~you want, not them.🫶
I don’t think ppl understand the whole “who cares if nobody likes it! make content for yourself” is extremely dismissive
Bc we ARE making the content for ourselves but it feels /bad/ when people don’t engage or show interest. You can care about both at the same time

It's #BlasphemyDay, a reminder of ongoing global work to defend freedom of expression. While the UK (except N. Ireland) & several nations have repealed archaic blasphemy laws, too many still face severe penalties simply for voicing critical, non-conforming, or even satirical views about religion.
