Wooooo.... Better start using this I guess. I'm Ron/Gretchen/Rongret (horse). I draw sometimes and write way more often. I like shitty horror movies, shlock, communism/anarchism, greasy pizza, and alt rock. Follow me for free diy lobotomy instructions I guess

If a youtuber starts using AI for their thumbnails and posts, you're free to assume they're using AI for their script and editing too-- that they don't actually do any work or have any ability or know the material. And if they don't want you to assume that then they know what they need to do.

With this latest attempt to erase trans women in the UK, let your reaction be to realize how a lot of people's identities rely on dehumanization-- they *have* to be superior to someone, better, more human than someone. Never doubt yourself as weak people disappear with their own fear into the abyss.

Many artists don't have the mental bandwidth to engage with established media, or don't feel empowered to, or don't believe in those systems, or can *only* find a sense of control in society as indie creators. If you only ever engage with mass media, you will never hear the voices of those people.

Freelance illustration gigs drying up. Ad agencies using Midjourney instead of hiring human artists. Costume design turned over to AI wholesale. Good work vanishing.
These are the stories of working visual artists, who describe losing jobs, wages, and hope as their clients and bosses embrace AI.

Artists are losing work, wages, and hope as bosses and clients embrace AI
Visual artists, illustrators and graphic designers share their stories about how AI is being used to lower wages, degrade work and even replace it altogether, in this installment of AI Killed My Job.

This should be mandatory reading for the "no politics in the fandom, I just want to look at cute animals!" crowd.
Blind positivity in the face of marginalized struggles isn't allyship, it's just fucking complacency.
Your escapism is built on the backs of the people who do not have access to it.

And that right there is why I’ve been really really wary of new King of the Hill episodes.
I wanna remember Dale as a harmless crank, because I miss when cranks were harmless.

I think it works because the audience WANTS Dale to remain a harmless weirdo but the past fifteen years irl has been an object lesson in what happens if you treat crank stuff like it’s just an endearing little personality quirk
