I am so intrigued by these reveals. Vegapunk is speaking as if the Roger pirates knew and could have prevented all of this but chose not to, but Rayleigh is pretty adamant that that is not what it seems, and that the younger generation would come to difference conclusions than them. And this is spoiling their fun?!
The Roger Pirates laughed, Vegapunk freaked out, what will Robin do? What is the truth?
And we still haven't really seen why Vegapunk insisted on visual den den mushis, so far, all of this was easily understood with just audio.
shirts that explain one random fact about u currently
i love when the straw hats Break someone
it is such a luxury to study the arts btw. but it shouldn’t be. it literally should not be a luxury to study these things. but it is. for very specific historical and economic reasons
"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.
@joshua-beeking this post might be for you
As a physically disabled artist, I couldn't agree more with this post, and I couldn't yell that last part loud enough:
" 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.

Babel, R.F. Kuang
Dude this freaking stuck with me
it's hilarious the way that some people are insinuating babel's story is unrelatable or that it's overhyped because it's exclusively based on the experiences of colonized people of colour
like, we colonized people of colour actually already know everything babel teaches in terms of empire and colonization and britain, like from the time the average trinidadian is out of primary school, we're already taught all of the things about imperialism and white supremacy that babel teaches and that robin learns
i'd argue that babel is actually intended as a didactic work for a white, first-world audience way more than than it supposedly "panders" to poc, like this book is for the letty prices of the the world, and i can see that it makes said letty prices as uncomfortable as it says it would...
good
thinking about how Robin alludes to everything falling apart early in the book but then you realize he specifically meant that the world broke in half when Ramy died and it's never been the same
babel ruined my life I think /pos
