I’m sorry but please stop using AI.

Not only does it use other people’s work as base training (let’s not forget about the fact that C.AI creators have been taking fics to build up chat bots) it also like…destroys the environment.

They need computers capable of giving you quick responses and that generates heat and what cools things down? AC and water.

Genuinely go search it up it’s insane.

Stop using AI.

If you feel like you want to post and you’re like “oh but I don’t think I’m good enough” I sympathise I really do every writer friend I know has had that exact same experience but you’re never gonna get better if you don’t try.

You’re never gonna learn anything if you use AI so stop assisting big corporations in destroying the world and actually try.

If you feel scared about your actual writing if it’s any good or not I am so happy to beta it for you but please just try that’s all I’m asking.

I’ve supplied a couple of links so you know I’m talking bullshit but please do your own investigation <3

I’ve receieved a number of messages asking if I’m reopening Chibis for Palestine. To be honest, I probably won’t anytime soon, as I feel it is irresponsible of me to open more slots while still working through a backlog.

However, I thought I’d share some art drives for Palestine that I’ve seen, all of which have artists I trust involved! I’ve donated to some of these myself and highly recommend giving if you can.

E-Sims for Gaza by @cartoonistcoop

donate an e-Sim via eSims for Gaza and receive an art commission from a cartoonist of your choice. (I received Inumaki Toge and Araluna by the esteemed pichikui earlier this year!)

Art Action for Gaza

donate a minimum of 5 USD and receive a commission from an artist on their roster! (The organizers of this drive personally reached out to me a bit earlier in support of my Chibi drive; they're a very sweet and dedicated team, and I have many friends on their roster!)

Doodles for Donations by Pals4Pal

donate 10 euros to the highlighted GFM and receive a drawing from an artist of your choice on their weekly roster. (Just this week, I sent a kittyuri request for my dear friend krispydraws!)

Remember that taking action is the best way to respond to despair. Your generosity and kindness will impact generations to come.

if you're feeling powerless right now—and god knows I am—here's a reminder you can donate to the National Network of Abortion Funds, the Trans Law Center, Gaza Soup Kitchen, the Palestine Children's Relief Fund, and hundreds of other charities that will work to mitigate the damage that has been and will continue to be inflicted

life continues. we still have the capacity to do good, important work. that matters
