I think its genuinely a virtue to accept that you could be wrong about anything and kill the part of yourself that needs to always be seen as correct and smarter than others on any given topic
Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

Today's progress. Interesting to see the smoothness when the piece is zoomed out. Up close there are more hard edges than my usual style because this is the driest I've ever applied watercolors. Working carefully because it's on paper for pastels #wip #noAI #art #traditionalart #painting

I'm on medical leave right now, finding some time to paint with new brushes and in a way that adds more texture with dryer pigments. Old watercolor habits are still creeping in though. #wip #watercolor #painting #art

I'm not dead, just recovering from a procedure and getting some off time. Yesterday had me trying to switch the theme mode on my WordPress site from Classical to Modern. Did not work bc everything showed down and "Font Awesome" navigation symbols broke. Rant🧵

"but art should be accessible" it is, you can learn to draw, paint, collage, sculpt, make pixels. right now, starting today. art has never been more accessible monetarily nor physically than it is now in this age. access to artist labor and machine production is not an accessibility issue.

Aurgh. Clients deserve better.
Some patients have discovered their private confessions are being quietly fed into AI.

Just unfollowed a BlueSky account that was using AI generated art. I doubt they'll notice but if anyone reading this is thinking about using the same even if you're not an art account, don't. Just don't.

Been preoccupied but coming into a little free time soon. Until then, I published on Medium today #writing #noAI #mentalhealth medium.com/artful-couns...

Yeah, I may be on a fox kick. My most recent 3 designs at my (fantasy) RedBubble page are all foxes. I'm not even done yet www.redbubble.com/people/janet... #art

Met a kapok tree on the bike ride this morning and picked up a couple of pods (didn't pick up fluff; most of it was wet). While waiting for breakfast, had an impromptu table-top #photo shoot with a hitchhiker I found on my arm.

Work swallowed me up in recent weeks, and my weekends were almost nonexistent. That said, I finished a light piece at Medium on attachment style: medium.com/know-thyself... #writing #relationships
Attachment Style According to Roommate History
A long line of less-than-ideal living arrangements taught me about compatibility and how we handle relationships.

If we want men to be less lonely, we should start by socializing them in boyhood to be part of a shared project of care. Give them dolls, toy kitchens, and tea sets. Ask them to help care for younger children. Expect them to clean up after themselves. Let them feel the work and value of care. 1/
When I see people complain about male loneliness, it is so painfully OBVIOUS to me that most of these lonely men are men who feel entitled to a woman who does that labor for them, who acts as their agent enmeshing them into community through unpaid pro-social labor on their behalf.

To be clear on what they're proposing: human beings using water for drinking, washing, and growing crops will be rationed.
The AI datacenters will have all the water they can contaminate.

Some places will have to start rationing water - to enable AI slop.
