yall we have hamilton and jefferson

On the first day of Tamlin's week,

I bring to you the Human Tamlin meme.

@tamlinweek

@rayshippouuchiha : posts something I have absolutely no idea about in a fandom I've never been part of

Me, absolutely not specifically seven crows in a disguise, still finding it relatable/shiny:

Also here's my cat holding still for a picture after I told her it was for Ray (betrayal lol she never does that for anyone else):

this came to me while I was dissociating in the shower today...

I disagree, one time I asked AI to draw Judas' hands and it made the stack of coins in his hands cast a shadow in the middle of his palm that looked like the stigmata. I did have to feed it the idea of there being silver coins and "red liquid,/ and a rope necklace" but by selecting what I wanted it to be drawing from (pictures and statues of saints, therefore basically entirely public domain) and having a keen eye for what I was looking for (photography, after all, is 90% selection), I got a lot of intent in there! Haven't really done anything with it since, because I don't have any other projects that would avoid the sourcing issue that well/working around the fact that the sites demand you ask for squeaky clean prompts is annoying.

this is a good point and not a type of ai program use i was addressing in the original post, but fwiw i don’t think we actually disagree

like, a camera is also a tool that allows people to generate images that prior to its invention could only be produced through sometimes-inaccessible levels of skill and practice, but it’s still possible to take bad pictures. you get out what you put in. you got a lot of intent in your generated picture because you HAD a lot of intent, and the skills necessary to effectively use the tool

the thing is, the actual, stated goal of a lot of ‘ai artists’ is to make artistic skill itself obsolete/less valuable, for some godforsaken reason. and they’re trying to accomplish this by feeding examples of the result of that skill into a machine until it can replicate everything they understand about it without learning anything themselves.

what i’m saying, and i think your example here supports this if anything, is any image produced with that primary motivation is going to fail in its purpose because even aside from any ethical/intellectual property issues, it’s self-defeating. cameras didn’t make art obsolete, they just gave us a new way to make art.

and it also feels relevant to note that to this day one of the best compliments a photograph can receive is “it looks just like a painting”

GET CRABBED!! ✨🦀NO PRESSURE TO SEND TO OTHERS, UNLESS YOU WANNA CRAB THEM TOO FOR BEING AN AMAZING CRUSTACEAN!! 🦞🦀🦞🦀✨🦀✨🦞✨🦀

@mmigrainee said that Auletta looks like the type of person who would fry salad, and she is so right. And since this picture now can't leave my mind, you'll have to suffer it as well.

When he was a psychology student, Jonathan Crane had a goth phase and secretly wanted to find a goth girlfriend. He still wears black nail polish and listens to The Sisters of Mercy... still no goth girlfriend, though, unless we count the Friitawa incident.

Pov: you're starting to realise that the girl that offered to help around the garden has no idea what she's doing

HI AD.

I've been watching so much Architectural Digest (actually interior & design channels in general) on YouTube & I thought I'd put to use my very limited and poor photoshop skills because I have too much time on my hands apparently. (also if you have any good recs for YT interior channels pls feel free to put me on!)

Roxane Gay, hypocrite extrodinare

From Roxane Gay's Substack:

Kate Middleton is, supposedly, alive. She made a video sharing that she has cancer. I hope it all goes well for her moving forward but the whole thing remains bizarre. As a highly public figure, why not just lead with this and ask for privacy? Why not share this when anyone who is even halfway human would understand and offer empathy? Why would the palace throw a woman with cancer under the bus about bad photoshop? Why the fuck is William not sitting by her side? I WISH I would make that kind of video alone. There would be furniture moving in the house, I know that much. And also, the journalists who are trying to shame people for speculating about a missing princess are just embarrassing AF. This whole situation was avoidable.

SHE TOLD YOU. She had abdominal surgery in January and asked for privacy which you are still not giving her. The cancer was found in post op tests so she did not know, she couldn't lead with it. She had to recover from major surgery. She was diagnosed with cancer. She had to discuss treatment options and decided on chemo. She had to process it herself and tell her young kids. Many people called out conspiracy theories and offered empathy, but it's just that Ms. Gay is still choosing not to.

She chose to make the video about her health BY HERSELF. You know, she has agency. Like Meghan, but again, you refuse to admit this.

And the only people who should be properly shamed are people like you, Roxane, who seem to have poor comprehension skills and claim that the princess was "missing"...even though there was a clear statement in January.

Keep in mind Roxane also believes every word the Sussexes have uttered. Again, basic comprehension skills.

Make no mistake: this is misogyny. This is victim blaming.
