#i might re-do my website and change my cms cause im using wordpress and they sold out to ai too 🥴

I can't and won't leave tumblr. because there's nowhere else really to post art where it can have engagement besides this site, Twitter, and instagram

and sadly all those avenues don't have artists' best interest in mind. but given that commissions and sharing art on social platforms is my only way of making any income

I'll be glazing and using nightshade on my art (I've also opted out of the scraping thru settings), and I'll still be posting, knowing that there's a risk

it's just saddening it's going in this direction. so I ask ppl to support REAL LIVING artists on here, Twitter (who is also scraping for ai), Instagram, and anywhere else because it feels bleak for us
