Born #onthisday in 1809, Edgar Allan Poe. Many illustrators have tackled Poe’s dark and macabre tales but perhaps none so hauntingly and brilliantly as Irish artist Harry Clarke.

The shaky science of genetic determinism

Entry number like fifty in the list of “the hereditarian/race science position is built on shitty science and a ton of academic fraud, and the people who peddle this stuff to you online do not care.”

people on bluesky have a weird vendetta against digital art that I literally never get in any other website..........I'm still getting hate comments under one of my digital paintings because the caption was "I made it with my real human hands" to ward off AI accusations and instead got hit with "this is shit because it's not traditional art with REAL paint you shallow prick"

[passionpeachy]

all real comments I've gotten. what year am I

Logical conclusion of the hardline anti-AI reaction, I'm sorry to say.

Kurt Vonnegut wrote: “When I was 15, I spent a month working on an archeological dig. I was talking to one of the archeologists one day during our lunch break and he asked those kinds of “getting to know you” questions you ask young people: Do you play sports? What’s your favorite subject? And I told him, no I don’t play any sports. I do theater, I’m in choir, I play the violin and piano, I used to take art classes.

And he went WOW. That’s amazing! And I said, “Oh no, but I’m not any good at ANY of them.”

And he said something then that I will never forget and which absolutely blew my mind because no one had ever said anything like it to me before: “I don’t think being good at things is the point of doing them. I think you’ve got all these wonderful experiences with different skills, and that all teaches you things and makes you an interesting person, no matter how well you do them.”

And that honestly changed my life. Because I went from a failure, someone who hadn’t been talented enough at anything to excel, to someone who did things because I enjoyed them. I had been raised in such an achievement-oriented environment, so inundated with the myth of Talent, that I thought it was only worth doing things if you could “Win” at them.
