One of my Radical Leftist opinions is the government shouldn't be able to deprive anyone of life, liberty, or property without due process of law

Artists feel pressured to make new art too quickly at the moment. Normalise artists fucking disappearing for months. Just walk off into the woods for a year and come back with a single sketch. It’s good for you

All I'm saying is, if you ran a campaign on democracy being at stake and democracy lost, isn't it time to be massively freaking out instead of doing this

Send this to people who claim AI isn't taking artists' jobs.
There is no amount of 'adapting' that will spontaneously generate more work if companies decide they don't want to pay you anymore.

Want to go visit the national parks this year?
Sorry.
The reservation system is shut down, EMT personnel are gone, so don't get hurt or lost. No one can clean the bathrooms or cabins, so they'll be closed. Rangers are fired.

so the thing is
just because someone is not posting about every horror, does not mean they aren't paying attention or being active in opposition, and I do hope people can learn to read for other signs of resistance rather than demand people create a 24/7 feed of screaming
it's actually not helpful

I think to a certain extent it’s good to be aware of how an audience might interact with something you create, at the very least from an accessibility standpoint, but beyond that I think it’s easy to let an imaginary audience embody your own anxieties and hamstring your creative attempts.
