the thing about layoffs of this scale is that so much is happening it involves days and days of discovering fresh horrors

Look if your choices are "Free Palestine" and "supporting a genocide in which journalists and children are mass murdered and hospitals and aid workers are carpetbombed" I'm pretty sure "Free Palestine" is the better, more moral, and less deadly option

No I don't want "humane" deportations, for the same reason I don't want "friendly" cops in schools or "understanding" genital inspectors at sporting events.

The problem is the fascism, not that the fascism is rude.

Art drawn by people who very rarely make art and think they are “bad at art” is 1000x cooler than AI art. It’s life-affirming. It’s often unexpected. I cannot overemphasize how much I love when people just go for it. You do not need the machine for this human endeavor.

For fellow ADHD/autist/ND peeps:

If you find cleaning/organizing overwhelming, use this technique. Take a picture of the area you need to clean, in this case my desk.

Sit back and look at the picture, then ask yourself "What doesn't belong here, and where does it go?"

Normalize posting the messy sketches!
Normalize sharing your least favorite pieces!
Normalize creating art for vengeance by drawing your enemies in compromising positions with various farm equipment!
Normalize group critiques!

Let’s normalize here that it is okay to take days, weeks or a month to finish an illustration and take your time to make it the best you can!

If you wanna post anything but nothing new then recycle your old art you’re still proud of; don’t let it be lost to the void! 🙏

Hey all! I looked for the established dates for all the old Twitter artist hashtag events. The dates are as follows:

ArtistsOfSEA - Jan 16
VisibleWomen - August 8
DrawingWhileBlack - Sep 15
SouthAsianArtists - Oct 12
PortfolioDay - Every second Tuesday in January, April, July, and October
We gotta bring back hashtag event days for artists on Bluesky! Absolute peak for discovering artists, and newer folks could blow up overnight

PSA ARTISTS:

SCAMMERS ARE ALREADY APPEARING ON BSKY! If you get a comm asking "can you draw a portrait of my child/pet" and offer a large sum of money upfront

IT'S 99% A SCAM

They will pretend to pay you more than what was owed and try to make you pay the difference, or send a phishing link!!

An AI datacenter devours enough water and electricity for a whole city of people each day.

A human artist only takes up as much electricity and water as any single human.

This is why, even if we settle copyrights and such, AI will always be immoral. Just pay a human.

BY THE WAY, THIS IS IMPORTANT. If you want everyone showing up on your feeds, you gotta go into Settings > Basic > Languages and clear the Content Languages field. Essential.

I created a block/mute list for AI accounts so they won't flood your timeline during october art challenges. Just hit subscribe and decide to mute or block all at once. There are more than 150 accounts so far, and I'll keep adding to the list.
