Chiitan just replied to me. My day is made. I'm going back to bed now.

WEAR YOUR FAVORITE SHINY THING.

I get you, Chiitan is the best! I'm jealous 😊

I typically only respond to correspondence if it’s in the form of a handwritten letter composed on an oak desk by candlelight using a quill dipped into a bottle of ink, enclosed in an envelope with a wax seal, and sent via raven, so no, I’m afraid I didn’t “see your email.”

Respect women artists.
Respect women streamers.
Respect women sex workers.
Respect women on the Internet.
Respect women in real life.
Respect women.

If you’re going outside, don’t forget to wrap up well as some of you are very ugly.

Well at least the U.S. has an excellent track record of fostering successful democracies after illegally toppling foreign governments, so this should work out in the en- hang on, I'm being handed a note

If the New York Times was waiting for a news hook to write a long-overdue story about how Trump is mentally unfit to be president, Trump has provided one today with his post saying Rob Reiner got murdered because he was mean to Trump.

Spent the weekend skiing up at Killington. Despite all the horrors in the world, there is still so much beauty out there. We just have to find it.

Art vs Artist 2025 :)

Artists, quote with your faces 🖤

Every facet of generative AI has made my professional life worse, without question, but THIS specific aspect has been driving me NUTS.

Clients, who have made me toil for weeks over indescribably small details, are now approving & producing in-house commercial artwork that looks like a fever dream.

Can I just sign up for a news service that alerts me when i have officially lost all my rights and I need to bug out? I'm really tired of this "I'm too exhausted to keep up with the news but if I don't it could be perilous" thing I've got going on.

Just a heads up, media will be deleted from my page today if I don’t see tips. It’s been days since I’ve made any money here, and that needs to change.
Sex workers work fucking hard so you can get off, show your appreciation.

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Harder mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.

404 Media Is Making a Zine We are publishing a risograph-printed zine about the surveillance technologies used by ICE.

404 Media is making a print zine about the surveillance tactics used by ICE, and how people are resisting this tech.

And to clarify a little bit, I absolutely hate this anti-art, minimalist, vanilla, plain white cube existence that we're living in. It's fucking BORING.

YOU MUST HAVE SOMETHING TO EAT TO HAVE STRENGTH TO GRIND YOUR ENEMIES' BONES TO DUST.

4 frame comic. first frame shows the author riding a bicycle in the mountains. text reads "I miss the person I was before getting a smartphone." second frame shows her looking at her phone, at a table and holding a cup of coffee. text reads : it didn't help me be more productive. it made me addicted to scrolling and unable to concentrate. third frame shows her in bed, looking at her phone. text reads : it didn't help me be more social. it made me anxious, depressed, tired and flaky. fourth frame shows her on a couch, holding a book but looking at her phone. text reads : it didn't help me be more aware or knowledgeable. it destroyed my attention span, while online disinformation is getting worse every day because of a.I. slop.
