Oh right, I have a tumblr. Here’s some fanart of the Eizouken girls!
I HAVEN'T SEEN ANYTHING ABOUT THIS HERE. PLEASE BE SAFE AND FIGHT BACK.
Any trans kids who need to seek asylum - come to Seattle if you can. We've got your back. Be careful out there.
Okay! this is very very bad, but we need to understand what will happen.
As with other states where anti-trans laws/rules have passed the state will be sued, the ACLU of Iowa seems to be the most engaged on this one but the HRC is involved in every fight. I think it's likely they'll ask for and get an emergency injunction against the detranstion part of the law.
everyone who cares about this fight should give what they can to the ACLU of Iowa or the HRC who are fighting this and bills like it all across America
if you're a straight ally any where in America right now, look up PFLAG find your local chapter, if there isn't one, well you can start one.
Trans people, the parents of trans minors living in Iowa and else where should really investigate if moving is in any way possible, however understand as scary as this headline is, and it is, its very likely to be blocked in court, the fight goes on, if you're someone who'd be effected by this law (or any state level law) contact the ACLU, HRC, GLAD, Lambda Legal, and/or the National Center for Trans Equality to see what to do, and if suing the state is right for you!
finally Democrats across red states have stood up, they've filibustered, they've vetoed, they've relived painful trauma in testimony but in many red states their ability to block Republican hate is limited, the Iowa state Senate is 34 Republicans to just 16 Democrats (the leader of the Iowa Senate Democrats is Zach Wahls who got his political start advocating for gay marriage as a teenager) luckily Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee has launched a 60 million dollar effort to make a major shift in what state governments look like across this country. Because for every scary anti-trans law in a Red State there's a bill in a Blue state expanding trans rights, and some of those "blue states" like Michigan or Minnesota were "red states" not very long ago
oh also, Kentucky's Democratic governor, just vetoed anti-trans bill, he's up for re-election THIS year, this year a Red state Democratic governor up for re-election did the brave thing and vetoed hate, so throw him a dollar, help the guy out because a Republican governor would have been SPRINTING to sign that bill. Also this year might represent the best chance Democrats will ever have to elect a Democrat governor of Mississippi of all places, popular Democrat Brandon Presley (yes he is related to Elvis thanks for asking) is running against scandal ridden Republican Tate Reeves (who signed a bill banning gender affirming care in Mississippi) so give Brandon a dollar too
Any ways! there's lots to do, don't panic, don't give up, get out, get organized, fight, vote like hell, and don't lose hope.
A little diary drawing from a few months ago. Before anyone asks, I’m ok. Just frustrated with our medical system. I almost didn’t post this bc I know so many others have it much worse than me, but I figured, at least it’s relatable 🤷🏼♀️
Glaze is out!
Tired of having your artwork used for AI training but find watermarks dismaying and ineffective?
Well check this out! Software that makes your Art look messed up to training AIs and unusable in a data set but nearly unchanged to human eyes.
I just learned about this. It's in Beta. Please read all the information before using.
Art thieves already hate it:
Dude, if you're stealing, you deserve to have the data poisoned. Because you could have asked and you didn't.
The link is only in the original post inside an image, not as text, so here it is as plain text: https://glaze.cs.uchicago.edu/ and the paper about how it works: https://arxiv.org/abs/2302.04222

Recent text-to-image diffusion models such as MidJourney and Stable Diffusion threaten to displace many in the professional artist community
A bit of a TLDR for some questions I saw in the notes:
The team that created Glaze is from the University of Chicago. Their names are each listed in full on the Glaze download website. (This group of students/professors did this for their SPRING BREAK 😱 so go give them some love lol)
It is free to download. No, they won’t ask for or raise money from/for this project.(stated by one of the lead professors of the project).
Glaze is designed to protect artists’ STYLE--which a bunch of ai people have been deliberately fine-tuning their models to mimic (and specifically of current living artists--small or big).
It currently does not protect against composition/trace-like theft (as seen when run through img-to-img) but that would be protected by copyright anyway while STYLE is not.
The University Team has stated that they are dedicated to continuing to improve the tool, like fixing bugs (like overheating older computers by taking up lots of energy when Glazing--it currently runs on CPU so they’re trying to change that to GPU, I believe) and expanding the type of protection given to artists (like working against img-to-img theft).
It currently only works directly on your computer (phones not advised due to current overheating issue, no tablets, or iPads, and no website runthrough since that would be insecure to breaches/scraping/hacks)
It currently works best on painterly artwork, but can still be used on other forms (team is working on improving this)
IT WORKS BY calculating the changes each image needs for the best protection against style theft by AI, and adds tiny changes throughout the piece, so that your style will, for example, confuse the ai into seeing van gogh. But the ai thieves will see a regular image in your style, feeding it into their model labeled as your work (thus starting the “data poisoning”).
Do not post the original unGlazed piece of your artwork after posting your Glazed version (obviously)
The Team worked directly with over 1,000 artists that were being impacted by the ai theft. Because the team listened to those artists, Glaze accounts for regular art thieves too (i.e. Glaze can’t be removed/cropped etc. like signatures or watermarks when reposted. It’s just part of the image, so even if it ends up on another site and scraped, the Glazing is still in effect)
When you run your artwork through Glaze, no information is sent back to the Team. (Aka, no scraping on their part. The app receives information from the Team (like updates) but no information from you is given to them through the app. Basically Team servers ---> You and NOT Team servers <--->You) One-way data street.
Brief misunderstanding happened over an open-source license for the front-end part of the app. (Used open-source coding for front-end, not knowing that code’s use-license states it is only for other open-source uses, not closed-source (the back-end code of the app is private to prevent counter-counter measure developments)). The Team took down the app until they replaced the front-end code with code written from scratch by the team. They are now not in violation of that open-source license since they are no longer using it. (you have 30 days to remedy a license breach once informed; they did so in 2)
The Team is currently in touch with Japanese artists to better expand the tool for use to protect their art styles
From what I understand of it, Glaze is an AI tool designed to be anti-AI (Think Arnold Schwarzenegger in Terminator 2: one Terminator robot vs. all the other Terminators 😂)
You can download it from their website and also contact them through email there with any questions, problems, or bugs. The website: https://glaze.cs.uchicago.edu/

And the second! Hourly Comic Day might be my favorite annual event tbh

Did you know that you can make fake 3D pixel art in Blender by just like turning anti-aliasing off?? And pixelizing post-effects? Sounds super simple but it took me forever to figure it out.
Small penises aren’t bad, balding isn’t bad, being short isn’t bad, being fat isn’t bad. Physical traits are not signs of morality, and the sooner people stop mocking people for their bodies (yes, even when they’re bad) the better.
It also works like this btw
A palace the size of a city, ruled by giant Ladies of unknowable, eldritch origin. A land left to slow decay, drowning in the debris of gene

Alrighty, I guess it’s finally time for me to dust off the ol tumblr
Eizouken but it’s D&D. Every quest is easy breezy.
