I hate, and I mean HATE, the suggestion that we do not celebrate Black History Month right in the US. We need to learn about overlooked history. Black history is American history that gets ignored or modified to suit different agendas. It's important to know the truth. It's important to celebrate our accomplishments. My parents lived through segregation. My grandparents lived through Jim Crow. They aren't dead yet! The idea that we all need to shake our behinds to music instead of commemorating what our ancestors, parents, and grandparents accomplished is offensive. The disrespect last month was loud on Beyoncé's internet. I'm putting this here; if it turns people off, it's whatever.

I'll post this here: I don't use any AI in my cc anymore. After I found out what it does in detail, I stopped using it. I haven't used it in a long time. Over a year, to be exact.

I take issue with people who only care about the "artistic integrity side" and not the part where they siphon our water and pollute the very air we breathe. We literally have so-called "peak hours" that triple our electricity bill in the name of this bull they call "AI."

I've always loved art. I've supported the arts. Hell, I even used to do the arts. But the fact that people are more concerned about artists being leached off of more than disadvantaged communities will NEVER not rub me the wrong way. When AI gets talked about in the community, people never mention that it is destroying the planet we live on. But I digress.

I should have posted this a long time ago. As I was posting the updated advent calendar, I thought of the fraudulent nail product pictures and felt it was a good time to finally bring it up. In the future, I will create my own nail meshes and designs. I'm very excited to get the artist juices running again. I created a new backlog of cc this month. Lord, help me. I have so much cc and worlds to finish.

Another note: I wasn't able to do the variety of cc I wanted to for my advent calendar. It was too much work in so little time. I tried to make hair: Failed. Clothes: Failed. Face Paint: Failed. Earrings: Failed. By the time I wanted to make lots, I had no energy or inspiration left. I'm only able to finish my advent calendar now because of last-minute inspiration and freehanding diy meshes.

Last but not least: My simblr. I have to remake most of my ABO: Delinquent Ancestor cast because of KW. After I reinstalled the game, the KW saves are hostage, and I can't find any clean saves to start from scratch. My ML's parents are dead as we know it. I still have their pictures and they will be recreated. Just not now. I have too much cc/world backlog I need to finish.

"Umm...boss. I don't think that's how the saying goes," stammered one of Chika's minions, lifting his head from his bow.

"Tsk!" Chika glared.

The minion hurriedly dropped his head again.

A chant rang out in the dusty room. "We wish the boss swift victory in his pursuit!"

Chika leaned back in his chair, satisfaction evident on his face.

As I was setting up this new simblr to document my gameplay, I found an old anime icon pack I saved from 10 years ago. If you frequently store files on hard drives, you'll find they are just like a time capsule that doesn't get lost. Date says 2016, which is when I archived it, but I actually had it longer. Just thought it would be fun to post here.

Also found another album collage I created back in 2014. I thought I uploaded them all, but lo and behold, there was a different one on another hard drive. Folder as had my old desktop backgrounds for Stephen King's Dark Tower, XXXholic, and Black Rock Shooter.
