if you can spare even $5 for one of the fundraisers above, please do so - many of these families have a long way to go. some have not even reached four digits in donations. even a little bit will help a lot!

Ugh, it was in mine. It's off now.

I had to turn this off, but it's something that allows Windows and anyone using your device to generate text/images.

AI is a freacking plague, I share this for any windows user.

[isuggesttakingestrogen]

I feel like she has a fundamental misunderstanding of multiple things here

[spaceysoupy]

Ah yes, the privilege of being "disappeared" and your body never being recovered. The privilege of being poisoned by oil or radioactive waste or illegal dumping. The privilege of your ongoing genocide being ignored. The privilege of the only reason we are US citizens in the first place is so they could steal our land easier. Fucking anigalvtsi bitch revisionist bullshit. This is full on, mask off nazi shit.

At this point if you deny her racism around me, I'm considering you to harbor the same views and blocking on sight.

[claimhte]

I want to broaden the scope here, less because I want to draw attention away from this specific person and more because I am seeing a really concerning trend and this is no longer "singular person being racist"

there are currently a bunch of europeans and americans trying to say this same thing about indigenous people and disguising it as anti-American rhetoric. similar is happening wrt the rhetoric around black people being yankees etc

who benefits from drawing enemy lines between indigenous peoples of the world? who benefits from further dividing people of color in ways that are, instead of being an internal conversation (which happens constantly btw), simplified down into things white people feel comfortable taking stances on? who benefits from framing anti-American sentiment as being reactionary and racist? what do they gain by doing this? pitting different groups against each other has been a longstanding tactic of white supremacy re: pitting indigenous people against black people, creating the model minority myth surrounding asian people, pitting "good" immigrants against "bad" immigrants, etc. the goal has always been to prevent us from working together

[spaceysoupy]

Very much this. While I personally find isff abhorrent and this switch to mask off racism to be unsurprising, there has been a trend with white "leftists", "communists," and "marxists" (in quotes because I do not believe they genuinely hold those views for all groups) trying to find acceptable ways to label minority groups and pit them against each other.

We've seen this recently in the past 15 or so years with the anti-landback movement, which I personally saw and was involved in during the widespread protests against the construction of the Thirty Meter Telescope on Mauna Kea. While not new, there was a pervasive attitude then that white progress took precedence over any sort of Indigenous sovereignty, cultural rights, tradition, or sacred land.

White people saw kūpuna fighting against TMT as backward and against "progress," so they needed to come up with a way to justify this claim. Hence, we arrived at the incredibly racist and revisionist history of "your Queen sold you out, so stop crying about it" which evolved into "you are American whether you like it or not" which spread online until it became the white response to any landback movements. You live here by our graciousness, so get over it. Be glad we did not just kill you all. You are American before you are Native. Get with the program.

This is genocidal rhetoric in and of itself, but its primiary purpose is used to push against rematriation and decolonization in general. We have offshoots of this which focus on white fear, "we treated you terribly, so why wouldn't you treat us terribly?" and "it's not really your land, since you fought all those other people for it" which has since evolved into a pervasive idea of replacement, that all white people will be ousted by land back movements, and lose the privileges they believe they are guaranteed by whiteness i.e have to live like those they oppressed.

They then combine the white fear aspect into the "get over it" aspect, which is how we ended up here with "you benefitted from being colonized, because we let you live, you are just like your oppressors, and thus you cannot be trusted with the land you are claiming is yours." If the United States of America is the patriarchal father, then Indigenous peoples that live under its roof must live under its rules, and if we didn't want to follow those rules we would simply fight harder (and be killed) or just give up and die.

That is the core of this rhetoric. That we simply should have fought harder. That it can't really be that bad, or we would do more to fight against them. That if we follow the rules so we don't die, it must mean we agree with those rules. That we're just ungrateful children whining about father mistreating us.

This idea is not unique to the struggles of Indigenous peoples of North and South America. It would do us all well to remember who benefits from furthering these ideas, and to look at what particular movements and ideas may be drawing enough white attention to cause them to start talking like this again.

As isuggestlandback said: Remember we are all fighting against imperialism, inside and out.

[fluoresensitives]

Personally I hate AI because it uses slave labor, is killing the planet and is making people stupid, but that's just me. The soulless art aspect is just one little piece of my grander disdain.

[castrolle]

wait how does AI use slave labor? Do you mean the human works that are stolen and not credited or compensated? Because technically under capitalism everything is exploited but there are varying degrees

[postillfastill]

Aside from the scraping, AI tech companies, including openAI/chatGPT, have outsourced training their models to countries in the global south, specifically Kenya in openAI's case. These workers are working in sweatshop conditions for less than 2 bucks USD per hour. I'm on mobile, but if you search 'openAI Kenya slave labor' and related keywords, you can find multiple articles about it.

[almostdefinitelydying]

Kenyan workers with AI jobs thought they had tickets to the future until the grim reality set in

Training AI takes a heavy toll on Kenyan workers, who say they earned $2 an hour to label and sift through gruesome content for American com

The Butterfly Boy: a Fairytale.

A fairytale about the feeling of waiting on the edge of massive existential societal tragedies you are powerless to prevent, the way that we scapegoat the victims of broader societal failures as if they were the Cause, and the way that we treat children who will never grow into a "conventional" adulthood.

Thank you to everyone who followed along as I was sharing the pages for these past couple months! <3 :_:

[pokeblader3]

I'm serious when I say we gotta give Temmie Chang half the credit for Making Undertale (and Deltarune)

She's got an animation degree, I know the art in Undertale gets underappreciated sometimes because it's trying to evoke an older simpler style, but the art in Undertale is legit amazing and without Temmie, none of Toby's ideas would have been able to be realized (without finding some other artist and animator)

She deserves more flowers for being the one who made the vast majority of the art assets for an entire game that is one of the most commonly cited games as an influence on others (her style is so beloved and recognizeable, there's a fully complete Undertale fangame emulating it)

[leafwateraddict]

Replies i think are very important

[lucifer-usurping-sun-of-dawn]

given all the rising transphobia and shit, we should remember that white trannies are still relatively safe and will be able to endure more escalation more easily, we're not at the top of any shit list even if we near if, trans women of color however are very vulnerable, and we need to remember they're our sisters, not our shields

[lady-viccy]

First time I opened the notes on this the latest reblog was "stooooo this is causing infigthing!"

Second time was "also men!"

Fucking stop.

Stop being so fucking fragile and just support black transfems. Can you do that? For even 5 fucking minutes?

Black Trans Travel Fund

- Tabytha Gonzalez, Recipient

Here's a pretty good organization that does this type of work!

The Black Trans Travel Fund is a Black trans-led collective rooted in self-advocacy and mutual aid for Black trans women globally, our mission is to provide travel support, connect communities internationally, and establish paths towards ​opportunities, safety, and success.

[amiraisdead]

It’s not infighting to say “we should protect the most vulnerable members of our community.” Get a grip.

[chillyfeetsteak]

little thingy from the other week, stuff on my mind

[supreme-leader-stoat]

Or as I've always liked to put it, "No matter how suspicious you might find the neighbor who never opens their blinds, they will never be as suspicious as the neighbor who wants free rein to peek in through people’s windows."

[snippit-crickit]

look what i cooked (literally)

sweet as a 1/4th cup of sugar Some extras below the cut!

Heres them out of the oven

and a digital animation i made first as a guide!

[how2do-art]

Holy shit those cookies came out exactly how you wanted em! Did it take a few tries to get em right?

[snippit-crickit]

Hii nope, i kinda just tried to keep them as on model as possible because i knew i wouldnt be retrying them, cutting them out just took long xd And in my head i was like okay they will also get a bit distored in the oven, possibly bake unevely and i think thats okay and has its own charm to it Im gonna answer it here as well since a few people asked if i made cookie cutters and no not exactly? I redrew the frames from digital reference on paper and cut it out like so

(also shoutout to fish shaped dish)

then i would put the paper on the dough and put some flour around it to have a guideline that wont move and cut it out

and the back legs have a mix of cocoa : >

[lobtwo]

Ehehe pretty guy

[arboret-art]

HIS WORLD

[aurorepeuffier]

New experiment : This time, I animated on radish slices. Obviously, no waste in the end, we ate the frames

[hyperlexichypatia]

The thing about the "hypocrisy" of conservatives bleating about "pedophiles" but supporting Trump is that to a lot of conservatives, the definition of "pedophilia" is "that which supports young people's autonomy or individuation from their parents/authority."

That's why a children's book that says "Be yourself! Everyone is different! You don't have to fit in!" is "pedophilia," but Trump raping a 13 year old girl isn't -- it was done to her against her will, so it didn't facilitate her dangerous autonomy. That's fine. Like child marriage -- it's perfectly fine, because the parents force it on the children. Parental authority is preserved.

A point my partner has made is that discussions of historical or cross/cultural variations in "age of majority" really underestimate the depth of patriarchy. "At what age is a girl considered a woman?" presupposes that a woman can ever meaningfully be considered an adult, which, in many forms of patriarchy, she really can't.

In the broadly liberal tradition, "children" are, broadly, defined as a class of people denied bodily autonomy and civic rights, but spared from the responsibilities of hard labor and harsh punishment; while "adults" are defined as a class granted bodily autonomy and civic rights, but subject to hard labor and harsh punishment. Which is why ageists (and ableists who infantilize disabled people throughout the lifespan, sexists who infantilize women throughout the lifespan, etc) think they have a real gotcha with "Well if you think young people (disabled people, women, etc) should have bodily autonomy and civic rights, then they have to have jobs! And go to prison! Or else you're Having It Both Ways!"

But many patriarchal authoritarians have never accepted this vague and never-actually-evenly-applied liberal construct in the first place. Everyone should be subject to hard labor and harsh punishment, and no one should have civic rights or bodily autonomy. Everyone should be subject to the authority of the patriarchal order. There is no "contradiction" between "a 14 year old should be married and a 24 year old should not be allowed to transition." They aren't saying that a 14 year old is "old enough/mature enough to decide for herself" whether to get married; and they're not really saying that a 24 year old is "too young/too immature" to transition. Marriage is an obligation and gender conformity is an obligation. Hard labor is an obligation and obedience is an obligation. The concept of being a "child entitled to protection, safety, and support" does not exist, and neither does the concept of being an "adult entitled to autonomy, self-determination, and political representation." They aren't even going to understand "If a 14 year old can be tried as an adult and go to prison, why can't they vote?" as a question. Everyone should be subject to prison and no one should vote. Life is about obligation and obedience, and age has very little to do with it.

YOUR ART ON TUMBLR IS BEING USED TO TRAIN AI!

The setting that prevents your work being used to train AI models is turned off by default! I had no idea about this until now! Artists, go to your settings, click “visibility”, and turn on this setting! Protect your work!

i hate that concerns about urban gardening/foraging safety is often met with "What are you, a cop?" scorn. I believe it's a suspicion of anything that hinders the punk/anti-system urgency to jump in immediately and do whatever feels right.

Safety, ethics, and sustainability are all a part of urban gardening and foraging. I'm sorry that means you need to do homework before you can do anything, I know that sounds lame. But life is complicated.

I know anti-intellectualism is viewed as activist these days, but like, surely you don't want to literally eat lead, right?

[chase-solidago]

Let’s check in and see how those rascally solarpunk kids are doing, surely they’ve learned by now that…..

Daily reminder: Leafy greens like kales uptake all those delicious heavy metals in urban soils like lead and cadmium.

Don’t eat sidewalk-crack kale.
