i just wanted to say reading your fics feels like when a loved one laughs so hard they fart or drool. like when i see pictures with bad lighting, food stains, and big bright smiles. it feels like love that's here with me every day, imperfect as hell ugly in many ways but who cares because we're so full of love. comforting in such a specific way. thank you for them
Anon you truly get it. Thank you so much. You've reached right in and touched the reason I was writing. ❤️
#Love is in the specificity the imperfection the distinct and personal and off-putting and messy and lived in#The imperfect is what makes you real and it's what makes you you; you and not an abstract thing; you and not somebody else

I have been thinking about this because what do you do when protests don't do shit and you're not a brave person, you're not willing to risk serious injury or arrest or losing your job. I don't know. I keep protesting but I feel insane about it. In the sense of insanity of repeating the same action while desperately hoping for a different result.

Some Tumblr named EddieBrockFan999: “I don’t know what gave Sony the idea they could put out such disjointed badly made movies and people would like them”

annoying teens and their equally annoying mom 🐤🐤🐤
#I love them so much...#3 teen girls being herded repeatedly into and out of vehicles by a grumpy incompetent 30-something rando with no idea what she's doing#And that's the whole plot#No other marvel movie has what she has#Madame Web

You are inconsistent. You do not need to have a grand unified theory about what to do about Michael Jackson. You are a hypocrite, over and over. You love Annie Hall but you can barely stand to look at a painting by Picasso. You are not responsible for solving this unreconciled contradiction. In fact, you will solve nothing by means of your consumption; the idea that you can is a dead end.
The way you consume art doesn't make you a bad person, or a good one. You'll have to find some other way to accomplish that.

a monster is the grotesque offspring of fear and desire. a true monster is both repellent and alluring.

Good news, fellow artists! Nightshade has finally been released by the UChicago team! If you aren't aware of what Nightshade is, it's a tool that helps poison AI datasets so that the model "sees" something different from what an image actually depicts. It's the same team that released Glaze, which helps protect art against style mimicry (aka those finetuned models that try to rip off a specific artist).
As they show in their paper, even a hundred poisoned concepts make a huge difference.
(Reminder that glazing your art is more important than nighshading it, as they mention in their tweets above, so when you're uploading your art, try to glaze it at the very least.)

The biggest anti-war protest in Israel to date took place today (1/18/24)! Double the size of the last one I read about a while back:
(Paywall-free link)
Now is as good a time as ever to support Standing Together and Women Wage Peace, who organized this anti-war demonstration. They’re both made up of coalitions of Israeli and Palestinian peace activists.
Also if you have a bit of spare time, consider learning more about and supporting Israeli conscientious objectors (people who refuse the IDF draft). Helping people who refuse to serve is an excellent way to pave the way for more to do so in future.
Here are two stories, and organizations who support IDF refusers:
And Breaking the Silence, IDF veterans’ testimonies about crimes against Palestinians since the Second Intifada and up to the present moment (more important than ever since Chile and Mexico are bringing a case against Israel for war crimes in Gaza and the West Bank as of today):
#I was in this one#Saw a cop who went viral getting filmed confiscating elderly protestors' signs#Asked him which law they broke. He said they were provocative (not a crime)#The provocative slogan in question? 'end the slaughter'#Anti-slaughter rhetoric very provocative stuff

Was gonna be a peace rally today organized by Standing Together and Women Wage Peace but the police canceled it on direct orders from Ben Gvir. Who has been disallowed by the court to give the police operative orders regarding protests literally yesterday. Love living in a democracy
