If AI “artists” spent the amount of time they spend defending their garbage takes online and used it to develop actual artistic skill, they’d probably be just as talented as the rest of us actual artists.

Hijacking that last response to remind anyone who has used 23andme to MAKE SURE YOU TELL THEM TO GET RID OF ALL OF YOUR DATA. ALL OF IT. For some godforsaken reason you have to tell them to do that so DO IT.

I participate in iNaturalist to the best of my ability! When I’m feeling good again I want to start taking better photography of nature to help these projects but every little bit counts! :)

If you're feeling anxious or depressed about the climate and want to do something to help right now, from your bed, for free...

Start helping with citizen science projects

What's a citizen science project? Basically, it's crowdsourced science. In this case, crowdsourced climate science, that you can help with!

You don't need qualifications or any training besides the slideshow at the start of a project. There are a lot of things that humans can do way better than machines can, even with only minimal training, that are vital to science - especially digitizing records and building searchable databases

Like labeling trees in aerial photos so that scientists have better datasets to use for restoration.

Or counting cells in fossilized plants to track the impacts of climate change.

Or digitizing old atmospheric data to help scientists track the warming effects of El Niño.

Or counting penguins to help scientists better protect them.

Those are all on one of the most prominent citizen science platforms, called Zooniverse, but there are a ton of others, too.

Oh, and btw, you don't have to worry about messing up, because several people see each image. Studies show that if you pool the opinions of however many regular people (different by field), it matches the accuracy rate of a trained scientist in the field.

--

I spent a lot of time doing this when I was really badly injured and housebound, and it was so good for me to be able to HELP and DO SOMETHING, even when I was in too much pain to leave my bed. So if you are chronically ill/disabled/for whatever reason can't participate or volunteer for things in person, I highly highly recommend.

Next time you wish you could do something - anything - to help

Remember that actually, you can. And help with some science.

I don’t think the words exist to describe how much I connect with the band Good Kid on like, a spiritual level. They make indie rock music and I love rock. They literally just don’t copyright strike people who use their music because they *want* other creators using it which is behavior I’ve wanted to see from literally anyone for years. They make tons of songs about like anxiety and mental health stuff I can relate to. They unapologetically wear their interests and influences on their sleeves. They name their songs after animes they watch or just whatever the fuck they were drinking when they wrote it. They comment on random, fanmade lyric videos of their songs. They make anime edits of THEIR OWN MUSIC. They make shorts talking about what inspired certain songs, what the songs mean, and stuff like that. Every time I look at how they act I go “That’s what I wanna be if I ever get popular”. It’s really magical stuff.

Plus their music is just fuckin banging.
