Hi everyone

Idk how many of you know this, but I am currently paying for a huge debt my mother left me in my name.

I checked today and I thought it would be over in March, but its actually in April. It's a difference of one month, but I just can't take it anymore.

This whole situation, added to my fathers death, added to the fact that I basica had to run away from home and I still haven't treated any of this in the therapy added to worsen my mental state.

And it's hard for me to say this bc I already think I'm humiliating myself enough with this whole situation that seems never ending, but I am not coping well and I'm not really doing okay.

I HATE doing commissions under stress, but if you're interested in anything, even if it's just a sketch or a chibi, DM me, I am accepting even for $20 or something

If youre not in conditions, I just appreciate for listening to my rant. Xoxo.

Also, please share it, if possible

Song of the Pomegranates

My bleeding fingers scratch the entrails of this beating heart.

Dripping, the droplets fall like Persephone's trap—

A whole season in hell, a whole season in paradise.

The cave is closed, and I don't feel I can ever come out.

The seeds were scratched, my fingers are numb.

The fruit was ripped open, nothing left of its insides.

My hands remember each hysterical attempt

To stanch the open wound that was killing me.

But I am still here, in the dark and in despair.

I am still here inside the closed cave with no spring waiting for me,

Listening to the song of pomegranates

That sing of an open wound that bled in the middle of the night.

Any attempt to wash my hands of the vermilion stains will cause me the embarrassment

Of one thousand years.

One thousand years I approach the water

Like the gentle Radha thinking about Krishna,

Coloring the lake golden

With the strength of her devotion.

But I devote to nothing.

I bleed and I wait.

I bleed and I wait in the dark, where it all began

And where it all should end as well.

Dripping, my fingers move in the darkness,

Playing the saddest modes

Of a song once heard in the East,

Where I left the one I loved.

I left him in the East,

Where my heart also remained.

And now my body lies like a corpse,

Waiting to be filled with a soul,

So one day I can clean up the stains

That marked the crime I committed

When I tore my own heart apart.

I often write in the middle of the night to take condensed feelings out of my chest. I can't say I actually like this, but I am currently very into pomegranates, these crazy little fruits, so I decided to make an art for it and post it anyway. ✨

DND OC commission for @jezhtica 🫶🏼✨🍄

Morena is a Druid & herbologist with a keen interest in mushrooms and hedgehog enthusiast 🦔.

Although her world is fantastic and magical, she was mostly inspired in Slavic cultures and I kept this in mind while re-designing her. The request was mostly for her dress, but I was so into it I just went ahead and added a hat and other accessories. 🥰

DM if you're interested in my re-design of your OC 😉

My broken family gave me an unexplainable feeling of longing. I dream about something I don't know I can have.

There are children who sit at a table full of food that nourishes the spirit and pop to the eyes. The voices are lifted in laughter and not in screaming. There is the presence of nature of plants and animals through the house — there is a cat that never leaves the feet of the table.

There is the presence of my ancestors in images scattered through the walls, the images of my family deities and drums that I learned how to play to honor my father and to please the mother of my father.

There is a man with a gentle heart and strong spirit. The children voices call me "mother" — a weekend afternoon suspended in space.

And then, after they're grown up, I am still happy with the same person I married. I can turn to my children and say "I still love your father, the same way, even after all these years."

Tumblr selling our data to Midjourney makes me think of a lot of stuff, including if I'll keep posting in this platform. I am aware most of our data will be (or already was) collected at this point but it makes me think the whole company seems a little desperate, since nothing they try to implement in order to increase engagement or take our money somehow actually works. There's a point where things become insufferable and I think we're getting there.

I am still grateful for the few people who interact with my art and I like the microblogging style of Tumblr and the fact I can offer my art in a better resolution than in Instagram, but it pains me to see how everywhere visual artists and writers are always losing.

Please be aware that the "opt-out" choice is just a way to try to appease people. But Tumblr has not been transparent about when has data been sold and shared with AI companies, and there are sources that confirm that data has already been shared before the toggle was even provided to users.

Also, it seems to include data they should not have been able to give under any circumstance, including that of deactivated blogs, private messages and conversations, stuff from private blogs, and so on.

Do not believe that "AI companies will honor the "opt-out request retroactively". Once they've got their hands on your data (and they have), they won't be "honoring" an opt-out option retroactively. There is no way to confirm or deny what data do they have: The fact they are completely opaque on what do they currently "own" and have, means that they can do whatever they want with it. How can you prove they have your data if they don't give everyone free access to see what they've stolen already?

So, yeah, opt out of data sharing, but be aware that this isn't stopping anyone from taking your data. They already have been taking it, before you were given that option. Go and go to Tumblr's Suppport and leave your Feedback on this (politely, but firmly- not everyone in the company is responsible for this.)

Finally: Opt out is not good under any circumstance. Deactivated people can't opt out. People who have lost their passwords can't opt out. People who can't access internet or computers can't opt out. People who had their content reposted can't opt out. Dead people can't opt out. When DeviantArt released their AI image generator, saying that it wasn't trained on people who didn't consent to it, it was proven it could easily replicate the styles of people who had passed away, as seen here. So, yeah. AI companies cannot be trusted to have any sort of respect for people's data and content, because this entire thing is just a data laundering scheme.

Please do reblog for awareness.

the darling Glaze “anti-ai” watermarking system is a grift that stole code/violated GPL license (that the creator admits to). It uses the same exact technology as Stable Diffusion. It’s not going to protect you from LORAs (smaller models that imitate a certain style, character, or concept)

An invisible watermark is never going to work. “De-glazing” training images is as easy as running it through a denoising upscaler. If someone really wanted to make a LORA of your art, Glaze and Nightshade are not going to stop them.

If you really want to protect your art from being used as positive training data, use a proper, obnoxious watermark, with your username/website, with “do not use” plastered everywhere. Then, at the very least, it’ll be used as a negative training image instead (telling the model “don’t imitate this”).

There is never a guarantee your art hasn’t been scraped and used to train a model. Training sets aren’t commonly public. Once you share your art online, you don’t know every person who has seen it, saved it, or drawn inspiration from it. Similarly, you can’t name every influence and inspiration that has affected your art.

I suggest that anti-AI art people get used to the fact that sharing art means letting go of the fear of being copied. Nothing is truly original. Artists have always copied each other, and now programmers copy artists.

Capitalists, meanwhile, are excited that they can pay less for “less labor”. Automation and technology is an excuse to undermine and cheapen human labor—if you work in the entertainment industry, it’s adapt AI, quicken your workflow, or lose your job because you’re less productive. This is not a new phenomenon.

You should be mad at management. You should unionize and demand that your labor is compensated fairly.
