Random question to everyone who sees this. Not counting old age or self-inflicted, how would you like to die? Like what would you want your tombstone to read as your cause of death?

I'm just very curious as to what other people's preferred cause of death would be.

I personally would like to die from prolonged isolation and solitude as a hermit in the woods; eventually losing all sense of myself and reality, with the resident flora and fauna being my only friends. Due to this I would eventually find myself growing ill from exposure to various pathogens. I will soon be sustenance for the creatures of the forest, and whatever is left of me and my home would eventually be swallowed by the mosses and leaves. Then, in a few short years, I would reawaken as a revenant to haunt and protect the forest I loved so dear <:

some thoughts about ADHD and baseline guilt

[spiffyspidr]

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.

If your life is horrible and you need a new source of meaning and direction.... Do NOT find religion. Learn to identify plants.

Life or Death

I'm so far past the demand deadline, and with each passing day without a sale, I become surer an eviction notice will be posted on my door. And it's just not coming together. I don't know what to do anymore.

Update: new texts

Please!!! I won't survive being evicted and if I don't put together the remaining $2305 by midnight tonight I will be evicted.

A Demand for payment was posted on February 21st, days after I cured a demand for January rent post on the 2st of February. I cannot afford to lose my my housing. I've lost all of my international sales. This year has been particularly difficult so far because of reasons.

Buy a painting and be a miracle for a struggling artist.

Wait a second... is it not normal for people to wear outfits relating to events or places they're going to?

I work at a garden center and always wear plant themed dress shirts, flower earrings, a straw sunhat with ladybug pins on it, and a floral print bowtie. Some days I even wear my cute overalls. Am I...a cartoon character? 😳

Hey Tumblr people! I just had a very random question pop into my head, and I want to know how other people would answer it <:

So... if you were to make a man a bouquet of flowers, what flowers would you use to make it?

It could be for a male friend, a male family member, a husband/boyfriend, etc.

I ask this for no reason at all, and I'm just curious as to what flowers people would use and what flowers would be used the most on average (:

I personally would use peach roses, soft pink peonies, pink alstromeria, white carnations, pink stocks, and crape myrtle for greenery! C:

I wasn't able to cure the demand for payment. I made a partial payment, but I still need to pay $2300 for February and $4425 for March. I won't survive moving. It took everything I had not to use a razorblade to fix my financial issues permanently last night.

If you are able, please help me. I don't have anyone else I can ask.

My Bear-Paw succulent is turning into a little tree!!! :D

Three years ago it used to be a single tiny stem with leaves, and it's still insane to me how much it's grown in that time!!

My baby's growing up 🥺❤️

The bottom picture is literally me 🥺💖

Whenever I think about the Twilight movies my mind instantly goes to the scene where Bella first steps out of her father's car holding a tiny cactus. And then I remember the parody movie they made of Twlight where the main girl steps out the car with a gigantic cactus.

It would be super helpful if a few people could send me a little grocery/supply money to tide me over until my next sale (or be my next sale.)

I was able to take care of my housing situation, for now, but it left me without extra money for groceries. I also have some paper but I need to mend it and to buy some pigments (yellow lilacs and gold poppies) to get things finished. If you can I'd be extremely grateful. If not, I understand. Thanks you all for your kindness, support (financial and emotional,) and forbearance.
