The U.S. and U.K. are never going to achieve any meaningful movement away from fascism because the majority of white citizens are pathologically incapable of recognizing any act of state violence or government overreach without immediately picking an Asian country to blame it on
if israel is charged for war crimes, never ever let the support for palestine stop. it will take generations to repair what's been done. and there's no way to repair the hearts of those who lost their entire families, children, loved ones, limbs, etc. the most we can do is rally to dismantle israel entirely. only then can the fallen rest easy.
‘subeaux:
What do any of you know of my Palestine? Of the late night queer parties in Ramallah? Of raves held in biblically aged buildings? Of lesbians in hijabs, of gay men in hoop earrings, of trans Palestinians dancing with joyful abandon?
We fear Israel first, before our families, always.
We're 100 times more likely to die at the hands of an Israeli gun or bomb than by western propagandized ideas of honor killings.
I've seen White Christian Americans wish their child be dead rather than gay. (1/2)
subeaux:
it's only Israel that weaponizes the homophobia that Queer people all over the world of all religions experience to justify murdering Palestinians of all kinds, young and old, Christian and Muslim, Queer and Straight.’
Soap, but in Situations with those scottish tweets you know which ones

"ai is making it so everyone can make art" Everyone can make art dipshit it came free with your fucking humanity
Oh gee, you're right! Why didn't the people who can't even move their arms think of just making a painting? /s
And before anyone starts spouting some "art is more than just painting" spiel, you don't know what kind of art someone might need to make in order to express their vision. An artist may have a very specific idea in mind to create the perfect piece of graphic art, and using music, performance, etc. just won't cut it for them. AI is a tool that can help the disabled in so many ways. Not even just with art. Get off your high horse and accept that disabled people have different needs and, guess what, ABILITIES than you do. Fuck you, asshole.
you are a tar pit.
and you are ableist.
you're fighting against a tool that makes art more accessible, and actively dismissing the notion that it could even possibly be doing that. this IS ableist. YOU are the tar pit in this situation.

Hi I’m disabled I’m crippled I have a disorder that makes my fingers suddenly dislocate while I’m holding my pencil I have a spinal issue that makes it hard for me to bend over a desk half of the time I have leg issues that make it difficult for me to get around etc etc etc. I also have a bunch of other issues I don’t want to tell you about.
I’m also in art college. And even if I wasn’t, I’ve been doing art for almost a decade now. I’ve been disabled the whole bloody time.
AI, isn’t art.
There are many disabled artists and we have adapted our own ways of dealing with how we create. Fuck you, we have been doing this forever.
Vincent Van Gogh had temporal lobe epilepsy; Henri Matisse became a wheelchair user after surgery for cancer; Michelangelo had osteoarthritis, limiting mobility and causing pain in his hands and feet.
Paul Smith had a severe case of cerebral palsy and created art using typewriters.
Peter Longstaff has no arms due to Thalidomide, and paints with his feet.
Frida Kahlo not only had polio that disabled her as a child, but of course as we all know was injured in a bus accident at the age of 18, which caused her lifelong pain and medical problems.
Fuck, you want a personal annecdote? I knew a girl (we have lost touch since) who was paralysed from the neck down and she painted with her mouth and there are other artists who do so too! And with eye tracking technology I’m sure disabled artists will be getting more and more tools as the years pass. But we do NOT condone AI art. All that does is put us, real disabled artists, who exist and need support, out of jobs and commissions.
Fuck you.
hi, another disabled person here for more personal anecdotes! here is an art piece i made entirely with my non dominant hand 1 week before my most recent shoulder surgery on that same arm. i also wear splint rings to keep my fingers from dislocating while painting (or playing bass guitar cause i do that too). i make most of my income off hand painted art despite having hand tremors, frequent wrist dislocations/subluxations, and migraines.
my friend and her wife also make their incomes off wig making, leatherwork, and digital collage prints. both have chronic pain as well.
our lines arent perfect because we have shaky hands but thats ok, make it a feature not a flaw in your art. fuck AI.
Anyone who thinks physically disabled people need to use art stealing AI to make our own art is the ableist, actually.
Mine isn't as drastic (yet) but I've been having to wear wrist braces and finger splints since childhood off and on because using my hands in a repetitive motions causes them to be in pretty excruciating pain.
What is my art medium of choice? Knitting. You know, that thing where you have to do a repetitive motion over and over again. I hold my needles a bit strange, I knit through the pain, I sometimes have to give up working on it for weeks at a time. But I will not stop because it's what makes my heart sing.
Disabled artists don't need your pity, we've been getting by, doing what makes us happy despite the pain and hardships for thousands of years, probably longer, I bet there were neolithic disabled artists.
No actual real artist wants or uses AI, including disabled artists. AI is for losers who are scared of the extremely important phase in art where you suck and want to skip it by stealing and not even in a cool "I'm emulating your style because I wanna learn from it" way.
Go suck at art for a couple years like the rest of us and stop talking over disabled artists.
And also if you just really really really really cannot create your vision and need someone else to do it for you. Then just hire a goddamn artist. Save up your money if you need it so badly that you're willing to enable thieves that care as little about art as they do about the real people who make it.
I'm disabled, I'm a writer, and I will absolutely fistfight anyone trying to say they shouldn't have to put in the twenty years of fucking EFFORT that I HAVE EXPENDED in BEING A GODDAMN WRITER behind a goddamn denny's at three AM
Another disabled artist here - in addition to chronic pain issues, I've got more mental health issues than you can shake a stick at, and sometimes it's REALLY DAMN HARD to be able to sit down and do art. Exhaustion, executive function issues, burnout, you name it. But you know what? I still do it, and there's no way in hell you'll catch me using AI as a "shortcut" to getting my vision out there. The process is rewarding as hell. So much of art is about the journey, not the destination, and AI skips all that and steals the hard work of other artists to do it. There's a way for everyone to do art and you know what?
It really belittles disabled people to say that they need to rely on AI.
"you don't know what kind of art someone might need to make in order to express their vision."
Welcome to being an artist. Failing to adequately express your vision is part of the experience. Suffer with the rest of us.
Me, scrolling tumblr: Wow, nobody’s doing it like John Green.
My mom: How so?
Me: Last week he coordinated with public health activists to mobilize his fan base to pressure a multinational corporation into reducing the price of tuberculosis tests from $10 to less than $8, which will save impoverished health systems hundreds of millions of dollars over the next ten years. This week he’s selling a chia pet shaped like his head.

Look! It’s Reg’s lockscreen :D
[I.D. It’s a digital drawing of Simon Ghost Riley and John Soap MacTavish. They’re both sleep, lying on a couch with Soap on top of Ghost, who’s holding into him, one hand on his back, the other in his hair. It has a white frame, emulating a polaroid. The words, ‘Post Mission Nap’ are written on the lower frame. End I.D]
What is this genre of games called because i know for a fact that so many people share the same liking / interests towards at least 2 of them
And they all go SO fucking hard, like story wise and visually I need to find more of these kind of games
The decision has been made, this genre of fucked up games for mentally ill people is called eurofuck
if you think about it, every time we tranquilize animals to transport them safely to another place, we are the sleep paralysis demon
Reblogging again to remind people that measles hits reset on your immune systems memory and causes a whole slew of really undesirable health problems, especially for those who are immune compromised.
Two kids in my middle school district died from measles complications because some idiot decided her kids didn’t need to be vaccinated against a super dangerous and super preventable disease.
pls indulge me in this years old glass eye headcanon
Get political.
"i'm not triggered or upset by or even ideologically opposed to it, i just associate it with something so bad that i can't enjoy it anymore" is such a frustrating relationship to have with a piece of media
it’s covered in the fucking ooze!!
