existential hope

"ai is making it so everyone can make art" Everyone can make art dipshit it came free with your fucking humanity

this goes hand in hand w the "so if this (unconventional/modern art) is art then i guess i'm an artist bc i did stuff like this in 3rd grade lol!!!" yes. Yes you are. Go Forth.

here's what ur gonna do. ur gonna get a plain tshirt from anywhere. from ur closet or ur dad or the thrift store or whatever. then ur gonna go to the dollar store or whatever equivalent u have in ur country. ur gonna get fabric paint and a sponge. ur gonna go home and take a cereal box or a cover of a magazine or something similar. ur gonna draw a design on it [or words. or print out a picture and trace it onto the cardstock) and cut out a stencil. then ur gonna use the sponge to dab the paint onto the shirt using the stencil. ur gonna do that thinly in 2-3 coats until it's opaque but not too stiff. then ur gonna let it dry for 24 hours. ur gonna cover that shirt with a thin towel and press an iron against the design for 30 seconds. then ur gonna wash it & wear it. got it?

I’m going to become a furry

Congrats! Why.

it would be fun to draw critters doing people things. like what if a skunk drove a car

fyi things like insulin, hearing aids, wheelchairs, glasses costing money at all is a form of structural ableism

disabled people should not have to pay to live their lives like everyone else. and in the case of insulin, disabled people should not have to pay to Not Fucking Die

This is such a good thing to talk about, ty OP. also mildly discouraging because water costs money, food is overpriced, and so if they cant even make Necessities To Live accessible for the Able Bodied Public™, then we're a long ways off from any sort of humanity being displayed with respect to insulin and mobility aids etc.
