#and not love ai

Finished s1 of Oshi No Ko, and I'm telling all of you to see it if you can.

It's doing a pretty good job of giving a critical eye to the entertainment industry (pop idols, child acting, reality shows, general acting, etc.) - both good and bad - and it's doing a fairly good job of it.

Understandably, this does mean it tackles some rough subjects. Episode 6 is particularly rough (and Episode 7 has the same trigger warnings as it deals with the aftermath).

It's also very focused on its theme of what it's calling the lie of being a celebrity in the entertainment industry - which is more about the construction of the image that is being sold as a consumer product vs. the person behind the celebrity image, with a particular focus on the idea that as a celebrity you NEED to craft a persona to survive, otherwise everything hits too close to the chest.

It's tackling this one from a lot of different angles and with a lot of different layers - Akane's arc in particular addresses this, but it also comes up in Ruby's actions on her path to becoming an idol (and wanting to tell the truth to her fans) as opposed to her twin brother Aqua's insistence that lies are there to protect you and thus you should lie about pretty much everything.

Like - this show starts in a way that feels like it's going to be fun and games gimmicky, but it takes itself very seriously with addressing these issues.

I'm interested in seeing what happens in s2.

ai generated images make me increasingly sad and tired the more i see them in more and more casual contexts. i dont know how to explain, but it just fills the world with a bunch of nothing. no matter how visually stunning the pictures might be, there's nothing behind it for me. no dedication, no emotions, no feelings, no hard work or creativity, nothing i can truly think about, admire or enjoy. i dont think thats how art is supposed to be

bluesky is honestly so nice and wholesome. the communities there reminds me a lot of tumblrs, i’ve really felt at home 🥹 my bluesky

some of the unique things i’ve liked:

- moderation lists: massive human made blocklists. they have lists for MAGAs, Nazis, genAI users/posters, NFT bros, spammers bots etc. truly amazing.

- starter packs: again human made lists of people they recommend to follow. there’s so many starter packs, from artist to follow, musicians, writers, even shitposters lmao.

- feeds: customizable, public timelines. you can create your own or join one of the thousands of feeds out there. you can also create a feed just for your art, so if you have a messy media tab, it keeps your art posts clean and organized!!

- blocking/muting: they have an amazing blocking system. when you block they can’t see your posts or even search you o. the site. they also allow you to mute people, delete specific replies, and even let you detach your post from a quote reblog if they’re trying to cause drama. honestly the best for a drama free environment. they also have very nice post filters so you can mute or completely block posts containing specific words or phrase!

- community: after blocking all the moderation lists it really just seems like a nice oasis for artists, creatives and others to connect with each other and get new followings. i’ve had a lot of people discover my art there and immediate support. it was super sweet.

- NSFW: not really something i like but i know a lot of others will; they allow NSFW content, art and otherwise. They have GREAT moderation so if you’re not interested in seeing those types of post be sure to turn on your content moderation settings.
