Whenever I see a creator getting piled on for using (or being suspected of using) AI, all I can think about is how we're willfully making the destruction of our industry as painless and convenient as possible for billionaires and VC firms.
My literal 14 year old niece has complained about people demanding to know if her art is AI.
At some point people need to stop and take stock of the harm they are doing by pointing fingers without reasonable proof.

If you consistently ask artists if their work is generative AI, you're actually being more discouraging than generative AI is.

Existing disability services are deeply underfunded, aggressively audited, means-tested constantly, and can be labyrinthine to even access or maintain without assistance. As someone who spent two decades as a cog in that system, concerns about fraud are overblown compared to the real existing need.
Balancing "no person with a disability should be denied accommodations" with "it's important to discourage non-disabled people from pretending to be disabled to take advantage of these accommodations" is really difficult and I don't have a great answer for what anyone should do about it.

Apologies for the radio silence for the last while. Had some health stuff arise (doc thinks I could have IBS) and needed to take a break from here to focus on that. I don't know when (or if) I'll be back as often as before, but feel free to reach out to me on other sites if you need to!

Please keep putting pressure on PayPal. Stories like this are becoming more and more common. Artists don’t deserve to lose their source of income over payment processors being puritanical/anti-small business.
I'm devastated, if I don't find an alternative that works with argentinians I'm contemplating the worst, I can't do regular jobs, art was my job for around 15 years
I don't do nsfw even when people insist me to
my life was already crumbling and now I don't know what to do

I keep seeing people trying to play down the payment processor situation, saying it's only the extreme NSFW accounts getting sacked.
Well. One of the cutest SFW furry artist got banned from PayPal. What more proof do y'all need that we need to keep fighting the good fight?
Also go support Nakufin.

If you run any sort of practice and the government demands sensitive patient info of any kind, you don't have to comply, you shouldn't comply, and now there is precedent that you actually aren't necessarily legally required to comply. Fight it and don't comply in advance.
NEW: Trump's DOJ sent a subpoena to a gender-affirming care clinic seeking information on patients, including minors, and its insurance billing practices. The clinic—which doesn't even take insurance—fought the demand in court and won.
