What the fuck am I even doing?

These are literally Excel sheets and I fucking love it

[theeborealowl]

Offloading all my art from this site again...

I'm quite tired of the moves...

Will update once I know where I'm at

Your worth is not contingent on your productivity.

You deserve love, kindness, compassion, and respect. Nothing takes your right, to safety and care, away from you.

Sending each of you a lingering deep pressure hug. The kind you just melt into.

Be kind to yourself please.

I've asked this question before and been surprised by the results, now I have access to more weirdos it's your problem:

It is the middle of a Sunday afternoon. You have nothing on, and aren't expecting visitors, deliveries or post.

Unexpectedly, there is a knock at the door.

Is it “minors,” AP? Not children? Not 7 year old Hind begging the operator on the phone to take her away from the corpses of her siblings, shot to bloody pieces in front of her? Not the little boy caught on camera saying he’s at least grateful he didn’t get martyred while bleeding from a severe leg injury? Not the two little girls dead because shrapnel fell on the encampments in Rafah from Israeli bombings and fucking killed them in front of their parents? We’re calling the little kids Israel forces murdered in cold blood minors now?

Ceasefire NOW

Okay, this never happens. I just sat down for a solid 3 and a half hours and wrote a fic from start to end in a draft format that closely resembles mid-draft as opposed to first draft. My concentration never wavered.

I’m afraid

This really fucking sucks.

Where are artists supposed to go?

DeviantArt? I don't even know what they've been up to the last 2 decades 💀

What is this about the tumblr staff wanting to sell art data to midjourney?

An ex-colleague of mine mentioned yesterday that there may be contacts between Automattic and midjourney in that direction, but nothing is public yet and I don't have any more info. They probably won't have anything specific to share either, since they left the company weeks ago too. That being said:

I have no reason to doubt my ex-coworker word, they are a trustworthy person.

Tumblr's CEO has been absurdly enthusiastic (comically, even) about AI, and is a big fan of LLMs and 'AI' companies.

A deal with midjourney could solve tumblr financial issues (not the same company, but openAi is paying up to 5 million/year to news companies to use their content as training data... tumblr generates several orders of magnitude more content than any newspaper or any media company and it only would need a 20 to 30 million per year deal to be profitable)

So I don't have any extra info yet, but I'm keeping my ears open.

NASA - The BEST Reality TV

With NASA announcing their streaming service NASA+ and also announcing it’s going to be free and also ad free, I’d just like to appreciate the lengths they go to make scientific knowledge and exploration as available as they possibly can.

Sorry, this died.

Be careful who you share your ideas with.

Sometimes people aren't able to be supportive... And the negative feedback kills the joy & will to continue.

I wasn't able to get any positive feedback on my ideas for world tension... And it killed my confidence in everything I thought I wanted from this comic.

And I don't think I can even continue on my Hilda fics...

I don't know if this is me overreacting... I'm just sad about it

The Legend of Great King Condon

Trying my hand at Hilda Fan comix because I cannot handle the show being over.

The series is so important to me and the world is alive and vibrant in my mind.

The series always feels like it's a prequel to ~something~ and I don't know what. But I can't get some stories out of my head

[theeborealowl]

Ah. I know. You’re wondering… what is a place like me doing in a girl like this?

i know that when a book describes dragons picking up their riders they probably mean scruffing them by the neck in their mouths like a kitten, but i always imagine something like this
