hello fellow artists. google has fallen. pinterest/duckduckgo AI filters don't work. do not despair; here is a list i made of places to find reference images without having to sift through piles of worthless garbage. (for future editing convenience i am just linking my blog post on dreamwidth.)
✨ good places to find art reference that are not full of AI trash 🌈

ART REFERENCE NOT FULL OF AI?! YESSS
Israel says it's suspending humanitarian organizations that have failed to meet its new rules to vet international groups working in Gaza.
30 December 2025
This left only Gaza based mutual aid networks. That's why you need to donate to the following aid groups on recurring basis:
The Sameer Project
Dahnoun Mutual Aid
Mona's Initiatives
Hussein Team
Is prev knight-coded or liege-coded?
Knight
Liege
Jester/Nuance/Prev is Bald
You gotta reblog and put in the tags so prev knows what you picked! And so your followers can liege-/knight-code you, too!
the thing about murderbot's narration style is that it'll be chugging along snarkily and with a reasonable level of self-effacement for a while, just sort of chat about nothing, casually drop thee most upsetting sentence I've ever seen, and shrimply move right along afterwards. and the tone isn't even that it's not aware it just said something a tad harrowing, it's more like "[horrific implications about its life and emotional state] (<- ik cringe 🙄) anyway as I was saying--"
Truly, Murderbot is all of us neurospicies who've dropped a random funny anecdote from our childhood into the chat and then had all our friends get real quiet and ask if we were okay.
Ironically, hard light is bad for recording sexy time.
It will highlight every pore, every vein, every wrinkle on your nutsack.
One day I will end this ring light fad. It is my ultimate side quest.
It seems my lighting advice has given people a mistaken impression...
These outtakes where the flash didn't go off are also AI generated.
I like this spooky dutch angle one.
I was just starting to learn flash and I didn't have all the equipment I needed. Since corgis are quite short, I had to put the lighting on the ground. The off camera flash was on a tipped over lightstand with a shoot-through umbrella to diffuse the light.
But I had no wireless triggers. And the only other way to trigger a flash, is with another flash. So I used the on-camera pop up flash to trigger the main flash.
But I had two issues.
First, I did not want that dinky on camera flash affecting my picture.
Second, triggering a flash with a flash is best done indoors. The flash will bounce all around the room and eventually hit the sensor so the main flash triggers. When you are outdoors, there is no bouncing.
SO... I took a little handheld makeup mirror and angled it toward my main flash. This blocked the dinky pop up flash and sent the beam of light towards the main flash to trigger it.
I was lying on the wet morning grass, holding a camera in one hand, a mirror in the other, trying to aim the mirror exactly toward the main flash, making crazy noises to get Otis's attention, and trying to get the focus point on his face so I didn't get a blurry photo. Also, Otis was much more interested in sniffing things than posing for a photo.
Here is an overhead view that might help explain.
I await all of your comments saying my amazing drawring is clearly AI generated.
Only 30% of the time did the flash actually go off. Aiming the mirror was tricky and I was doing like 8 things at once. I wasn't even sure I got the photo I wanted. But when I came back to the computer there was one that stood out and it is one of my favorites I've ever taken.
It was the best combination of monumental effort, great discomfort, perfect foggy sunrise light, and just pure luck.
Unfortunately, people like me who use advanced sculpting light techniques are getting accused of using AI more and more. Not really sure what to do about it—other than show the 30 awful photos it took to get the good one.
My 80s sunglasses photo and spoon photo get called out the most.
But it's just good old fashioned gradient lighting which has been used in product photography since the days of film.
So, no need to be suspicious.
Photography like sirfrogsworth's is what the fucken AIs were TRAINED on.

Fungus has done so much for humanity. Penicillin. Radiation cleanup. Delicious mushrooms. Deadly mushrooms. Psychadelic mushrooms. And now my boy RA has chosen the humble mold spores as his vessel through which to cure cancer.

This is one of the reasons why preserving biodiversity is so important! We can learn and apply so much from nature. What an exciting discovery

i dont get offended at white people jokes even though im white because:
i can recognize white people as a whole have systemically oppressed POC in america, which is where i live
most people when they make white people jokes only mean the shitty white people and i am not a shitty white person
im not a pissbaby
my white friends that have reblogged this give me life
4. Sometimes I am a shitty white person and the jokes remind me to FUCKIN STOP
If ur white and like this post I fux with u
^absolutely
5. It’s hard to be offended when white people jokes involve bland food/tourist dads in socks and sandals/white girls in yoga pants obsessed with pumpkin spice/suburban PTA moms and other harmless and mostly true stereotypes while jokes about POC involve them being called thugs/criminals/slurs/uneducated/illegal immigrants.
i fucks with u heavy if ur white and you reblog this
my place of work has just restricted and forbidden the use of AI tools and any use will treated as a security and policy breach
Like to charge, reblog to cast.
Black cat appreciation squad! Several of my friends have black shorthaired housecats, and when we share pictures of our pets, it looks like we all have the same cat on a timeshare.
Who else has This Same Cat? My version is named Mischief (and that's an accurate name).
In this house she’s called Tifa, and she’s a tablet baby
In this house he is called Paterson, and he has anxiety.
