One of the biggest problems the web currently faces is misinformation with generative AI imagery. So camera manufacturers have been working to prevent this from being a problem by integrating Content…

I was kind to myself today

kindness I should have allowed myself all along.

I cleaned my room, changed the bed, a hot shower, two glasses of cold water and some lotion on my body.

I was kind enough to light my favorite candle and do yoga by the flickering light.

I allowed myself the solitude and peace the midnight air holds.

I said it’s normal to feel, that my emotions are real.

I told my mind it’s okay to rest, and my heart it’s alright to love. The sun will rise in the morning.

I’d like to be kind more often.

How This New Content Authenticity Tech Can Help Photographers Against AI

With the rise of generative AI, the boundaries between real and fake have blurred immensely. From images of a real flood being called fake to AI-generated images being used to peddle propaganda, the world is heading in a problematic direction.

Breaking Free from the Comparison Trap

Are you scrolling through social media feeling like everyone else has their life together while you're barely keeping your head above water?

Comparison has become the thief of joy in our digital age. With perfectly curated Instagram feeds, highlight reels on Facebook, and success stories on LinkedIn, it's easy to feel like you're falling behind in the race of life. But here's what those polished posts don't show: the struggles, the failures, the moments of doubt that every person faces. More importantly, God never intended for you to live your life measuring yourself against others.

The apostle Paul addresses this directly in 2 Corinthians 10:12: "We do not dare to classify or compare ourselves with some who commend themselves. When they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they are not wise." Paul understood that comparison is not only unwise – it's spiritually destructive because it shifts our focus from God's unique plan for our lives to everyone else's journey.

Social media has amplified comparison to unprecedented levels. We see someone's vacation photos and feel inadequate about our staycation. We see another person's career milestone and question our own progress. We see perfect family photos and wonder why our kids were arguing five minutes before church. But remember: you're comparing your behind-the-scenes reality to everyone else's highlight reel.

The root of comparison often lies in insecurity about our identity and worth. When we're secure in who God says we are, other people's success doesn't threaten us – it inspires us. When we understand that God has a unique plan for each of us, we stop trying to live someone else's story and start embracing our own.

Galatians 6:4 offers a healthier perspective: "Each one should test their own actions. Then they can take pride in themselves alone, without comparing themselves to someone else." This isn't about pride in the arrogant sense – it's about finding satisfaction in being faithful to what God has called you to do, regardless of what others are accomplishing.

Consider how comparison affected biblical characters. Cain's jealousy of Abel's accepted sacrifice led to murder. Rachel's envy of her sister Leah's fertility caused family strife. The disciples argued about who would be greatest in the kingdom. Comparison has been destroying relationships and peace since the beginning of time.

The antidote to comparison is gratitude. When you focus on what God has given you rather than what He's given others, contentment begins to grow. Start a gratitude practice – write down three things you're thankful for each day. This simple habit rewires your brain to notice God's goodness in your own life rather than focusing on what you lack.

Remember that God's gifts and callings are distributed differently for a reason. First Corinthians 12 explains that the body of Christ has many parts, each with different functions. Your role isn't to be someone else – it's to be the best version of yourself that God created you to be. The world needs your unique contribution, not a copy of someone else.

When you catch yourself comparing, redirect your thoughts. Instead of "Why don't I have what they have?" ask "What is God teaching me in this season?" Instead of "I'm so behind," try "I'm exactly where God wants me to be." Instead of "They're so blessed," remember "God has blessed me too, just differently."

Finally, use others' success as inspiration rather than intimidation. When you see someone thriving in an area you'd like to grow in, learn from them. Ask questions, seek mentorship, celebrate their victories. Their success doesn't diminish your potential – it proves that growth and achievement are possible.

Thoughts, Thoughts, Blog #12

by Saiya Soublet

Make Sum Noise Y'all!...WTF!

The feeling of not being good enough for the admirable eyes of others to be upon you is awful and has to go. Mostly because I feel as though I am getting over myself in the post-abuse existence I lived in for so long and am no longer afraid to shine for all, even those that I would not want to see me. That is simply something I cannot control, but I can control whether I am dimming my light or not. Where do I go from here?

Overnight success is a goal that I have always wanted to obtain, but I'm not too sure that I even truly have been wanting it deep down or if I have just been wanting what it brings. Of course you do, you say because it's so obvious for someone to want what comes with overnight success. And, you'd be right, duh. But with all that I have been doing and posting and saying and praying and believing, you'd like that I'd have...gotten it by now right? It feels like I'm a street artist that everyone just walks past. Do I stink or something? Or maybe I'm not as good as I think I am?

All thoughts that run through my head at the same time as I am trying to believe in myself. Contradictory at the very least and extremely stunting and frustrating at the most. So, what do I do? If I'm being honest...I don't really know. What I know is that I am a writer: of fiction, of poetry, of personal essays, even of my ow podcast episodes. I am a writer who just wants to write, but it seems as though writing does not make any money anymore. Or maybe it doesn't make money how I'd like it to make money, by being a content creator on social media. My content is tarot. My content is poetry. My content is short stories and podcasts, and I have been creating, so where is the dissonance. At this point, it may be within myself. It may be that I don't believe it to be possible to be this specific niche of content creator and being financially successful. It may be that I don't believe that I have the look or the personality or what it takes to be a content creator. It may be that I just haven't been doing or believing enough. It may be that my aversion to vapidness and lack of authenticity (and my ascribing those traits to social media itself) is not allowing me to be the content creator I want to be on platforms I'm not really favorable of.

I don't know. But what I do know is that I still will write.
