I got the chance yesterday to see this lovely locomotive. The video and the, hopefully labeled, 1st picture were taken just outside Hardin, TX, while the rest were taken in Grayburg, TX. For those unaware, she was on her way towards Beaumont, TX from Houston, TX. She made a couple stops in between, one in Huffman, one in Hardin.
A comic collab I made with my non-binary transmasc friend LM about our experiences feeling at home in our bodies šŖ·

halp plz :(
this is the only day u can reblog this
For anyone who finds themselves getting overwhelmed, to the point where you cannot move and your thoughts are extremely loud, I want you to know that you're not alone.
When you're stuck in that state of mind it can be unbelievably scary, and it's always okay to take a moment, and recollect yourself.
Remember to focus on your breath, and try not to let your brain spiral into negative thoughts. You're going to be okay, and it's completely alright to be overwhelmed from time to time, the world can be very, very stressful.
Please don't ever feel guilty for taking time to recharge.
click keep reading if you are trans
you are trans š«µ
M-M-M-MULTIKILL!
I think you answered your own question.
You can only reblog this today.
I.D. A screenshot of the show Adventure Time showing Finn in front of the Candy Kingdom. The subtitles read "May 17, 2023. That's a Wednesday."
shout out to people who's family isnt entirely bad or entirely good, but something in between and you dont know how to feel about them. you feel angry but you also feel guilty, because you know they genuinely love and care about you, but sometimes they show it in a way you know its not okay. your feelings are valid, your anger and sadness and grief are valid, and you dont have to prove this to no one. bigger shout out to those with memory issues who know something isnt right but can't recall all of the bad events, only the feelings, which only increases the guilt.
I just got myself Transtape and am very, very excited to use it. I just don't want to do the test strip. I'm making myself do it anyway to play it safe.
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.

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 š± so go give them some love lol)
It is free to download. No, they wonāt ask for or raise money from/for this project.(stated by one of the lead professors of the project).
Glaze is designed to protect artistsā 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 theyāre 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 ādata poisoningā).
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 canāt be removed/cropped etc. like signatures or watermarks when reposted. Itās 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 codeās 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 š)
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/
im excited to get top surgery bc oh blah blah disphoria back pain slouching not a girl but mainly because i have been planning for over a year a joke thats about to pay off:
my family does not know i am getting surgery so i made sure to get all the same bathings suits i wore last year in a new size and just straight up gas light my aunt about it
like imagine her. you go to the beach with your family one day. its a beautiful day and you are obsessed with commenting on peoples bodies. everyone begins removing their coverings and you are now seeing someone who, historically, has bazongaād with the best of them. this person is no longer breasting boobily. child, you say, what has happened to your one redeeming feminine quality? the child responds, auntie wat the hell you tawking bout? ive always looked like this i literally wore this last year??
Enter into the world of the Forgotten Realms and beyond.
finally completed my dnd quiz! featuring a mix and match of 30 races and 14 classes, discover who you would be in the forgotten realms! i'd be a satyr artificer :)
I don't usually do quizzes like these, but this one was so utterly fascinating and interesting. Very well written and executed.
