gentle reminder you can rise up from everything. you can recreate yourself. nothing is permanent. you are not stuck. you have choices. you can think new thoughts. you can learn something new. you can create new habits. all that matters is that you decide today and never look back.

I cannot stress enough how important it is to do silly, frivolous things that serve no other purpose than making you happy.

“Umm it will actually be very difficult for universities to divest from israel and arms manufacturers without tuition skyrocketing 🤓☝🏼” why is the financial stability of a college (and the economy at large, especially in the us) so reliant on what amounts to war profiteering to begin with? Why is that an inevitability that we’re supposed to accept?

This info needs to be out there, it turned the tide against cryptocurrency in the public eye it might fit so too

I spend so much if my time daydreaming everyday, it's almost as if I'm leading an entire different life in my head

For those who don't know, this piece is titled 'Unfinished Painting', by Keith Haring. He painted it about a year before his death of AIDs. I believe he actually finished other pieces between this one and his death. He left the majority of the canvas blank to represent his life and art career cut short due to HIV/AIDs. This was a deliberate choice and commentary about all that we lose (both personally and culturally) by ignoring the AIDs crisis at the time (1989). He was devastated he didn't have time to make more art. 'Finishing' Unfinished Painting is straight up spitting on Haring's grave and shows no understanding to the meaning behind the art. The AI interpretation doesn't even follow his extremely recognizable shape language and symbols. This is why people are angry about AI art. All commerce images and no meaning or humanity

AI 'art' reduces art to the immediate image on the page. It's all about consuming as much of it as quickly and easily as you can. It's an image devoid of context; it can't mean anything, because there's no intention behind it. It's just a random assembly of images, pulled from various other works and mashed up into an approximation of what the person writing the prompt has asked for. You can't read anything into it. It won't ask any questions of you, and it won't answer any either. You can't find meaning in it beyond its aesthetics. There are no lines to read between in AI 'art', and if there are any, they're probably just from someone else's picture.
