remembering the brief time that tumblr offered tipping and a $20 tip sat in my account for over a year (thank you to the lovely person who did that, this is not your fault) because it wasn't possible to cash out until it reached over $25. I tried to add my own money to push it over the edge but then tumblr accused me of money laundering. I eventually forgot about it until they shut tipping down and I got an email saying that the money finally cashed out.

Here’s the second batch of sketches that went out with Liches Get Kisses stickers! Thank you all for your great suggestions! I still have more stickers to send so if you don’t see your idea here, it might still be coming.

Also….. I have an update….

There’s only ONE (1) sticker left!

You guys are amazing!! I didn’t know if I’d sell out of all of them this month but it looks like that might happen, which is great because then it’ll be so satisfying donating that big lump of money at one time. Grab it before it’s gone! :D

As AI art gets harder to clock, I feel like we are going to need to have a discussion about attribution and it's probably going to bum some people out.

Because the surest way to avoid platforming, reblogging, or encouraging AI art posting is to know where every image you share originated and that's 1) boring, tedious research and 2) extremely limiting in what you feel you can reblog. But if unattributed images never gets traction, people will start attributing their images.

I've been guilty of this in the past, but for a while now it's been my policy that if I can't verify the origin, I don't share the image. That goes for stuff like screen grabs of headlines too -- more than once I've avoided spreading misinformation by saving a post to research before I reblog, then seeing the post refuted before I've been able to verify it.

And I usually try to attribute photos I take -- case in point, the "woman with shrimp" post gets a lot of attention but not one comment about it being AI, despite it being pretty similar to something you'd get from an AI. That's because I clearly state it's in a museum and link to its catalogue page.

I'm not saying this to scold anyone -- I think yelling at the Internet to cite its sources is very much a losing game -- but because I don't see this discussed much. We're such fertile ground to be fooled by AI art because we've grown accustomed to not questioning the origins of any given image. And of course I also want to encourage both OPs to attribute their images and rebloggers to verify unattributed ones.

Been a weird year for art. No regrets!
