As much as we're caught up wondering about what tariffs will do to our 401ks all the little creators, the small businesses that are the literal life blood of our country are being choked nigh unto death by these tariffs. All the creature comforts we enjoy from their labor will disappear.

Please, if you love anything about this life, stop using ChatGPT and other GenAI. Just stop. Don't use it to dunk on it, don't use it for a laugh, just stop and let that shit wither.

I made this the other night while procrastinating, mainly because I thought all the posts about the blackout were boring. It feels like there is momentum bringing people together!

If you’ve already started calling it the Gulf of America instead of the Gulf of Mexico, you should have no trouble with someone’s preferred name and pronouns.

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references.
Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.

THEY want to turn your work into “content” because to them it IS content. They only care about eyeballs on screen. They don’t care about the art. But you should. Respect yourself. Words have meaning and power. Calling your art “content” subtly changes how you and everyone sees and values it.
This 2025 stop calling yourself a "content creator"
You're an artist, graphic designer, a video editor, an entertainer, musician, a streamer, a cook, a craftsman, an animator, a storyteller, a writer, a painter, a woodworker, a tailor...
You are not a faceless "content" machine.
