nature sees you

The fruit was never an apple.

-- Ted Chiang, from "Why A.I. Isn't Going to Make Art"

Generative A.I. appeals to people who think they can express themselves in a medium without actually working in that medium.

I just wanted to draw a knight doing a curtsy with a waffenrock....I lost control.

Trump's words are not empty rambles. Transgender issues are not a "distraction". Violence is being incited against us and protected en masse.

I was a fat kid. This was the first thing that tipped me off to how much she sucked.

#This!!!#If you’re going to spend time on someone’s size as an element of their character#Then do it like Terry Pratchett.#I will forever remember when in snuff it describes Sybil rolling over in bed and everything shifts towards her#and it’s just a fact of life related to her size but also this really loving moment and I fully cried about it.#also#‘Prehistoric men would have worshipped her and in fact had amazingly managed to carve lifelike statues of her thousands of years ago’#And#‘Her bosom rose and fell like an empire#and#‘If you let her she could engulf you; the woman was a city’#And also one that has made me cry so many times:#‘It was probably something to do with being a…a big girl. She tried to make herself seem small#and by default that made those around her feel bigger.’#Acknowledging how she was treated for her weight and how it impacted her character- crying sobbing weeping on the floor 😭#I relate to her in so many ways#and seeing her be so loved and worshipped by vimes in her own body not in spite of her size but in part because of it#😭😭😭 I love her so much#I’m sorry I got really distracted because I started thinking about Sybil but!#Stop talking about fat characters like they’re grotesque. If you want to focus on describing their size there are other ways to do it#fatphobia#fat representation#writing#Discworld

black children get murdered and become victims of hate crimes every fucking day. this is ridiculous

Call your representatives. if they voted Nay, thank them for protecting your rights, your privacy, and the concept of innocent until proven guilty. If they voted Yea, tell them why you're disappointed and that you're considering not voting for them next time around and if they continue to piss away the rights of average Americans you'll vote their ass out

anyways transfems are still being banned en masse from this website for “any reason or no reason at all” and having their accounts taken down again and again when they attempt to remake. this includes accounts that had originally been around for over a decade, after they did nothing but get a bit too loud about being transfem. don’t shut up about it.
