Hey there, thanks for caring about others but the sick cat post by dashandslices/dashandalivee is a scam.
The pet scammer is very frequent on tumblr. They make a new blog, put a few posts on it to seem legit, spam asks to people requesting donations, and then remake when they inevitably get deleted. Remember to try to scroll down to the bottom of a person’s blog, and turn on post timestamps in settings. In this case the person’s blog was created Oct 5, then they created their donation post and started asking for donations within 15 minutes of the first post they ever reblogged.
Also, always be wary of fundraisers that request PayPal payments through “Friends and Family”. There are other ways to receive donations on PayPal but they request this because payments sent through Friends and Family are not protected against fraud, can’t be refunded, and aren’t detected by PayPal as suspicious activity. Never send FaF payments to people you don’t know, because you can’t get it back.
More info on scams like these can be found on Kyra45’s blog or if you just look up tumblr pet scams. When you encounter blogs like these, you could report them for spam or phishing.
Thanks, my dumbass doesn't proof check, but i already changed the post. I'm glad my online banking doesn't work.
I wish i could do something for Squiddie though...

Yeah, so, because I went a little insane, one of my acquaintances checked out Fionna and Cake…
And like
Said it was okay. And that it was nothing to get obsessive over.
AND this surprisingly for once ISNT a sob story because I’m actually proud of myself!!!
1 I talked about my interests? Out loud? To a person who knows me? I did that and I didn’t even think about it!? Damn!!! I’m fucking awesome as shit! 11 year old me is sitting here GAPING at what I can do.
2 I LITERALLY WASNT EVEN ALL THAT PHASED IN THE MOMENT WHEN HE BASICALLY TOLD ME I WAS BEING CRINGEY FOR GETTING OBSESSIVE! Like sure I was moderately embarrassed that that meant he saw Simon’s naked ass cheeks and I let him know that I was obsessively talking about it before that happened (and omitted that I annoyingly shoved his ass cheeks in all my friends faces repeatedly as a joke) but like. I didn’t fall into a pit of despair or have an anxiety attack because of his honesty rude ass opinion. I just made a joke about how he’s “making fun of someone who’s literally neurodivergent and a minor” and… he didn’t get that joke. Honestly 😤 why do I even
But what I’m trying to say is that my day didn’t get utterly ruined because someone I knew didn’t like my thing, and that’s like a total step up from where I was! Like, a year ago honestly! Maybe eventually I’ll be able to tell my friends about the fanfiction I read and use the real characters names instead of saying “and then… character 1 said” like a normal person!

tbh im going to be real i dont really even think "AI art looks terrible and like hot crap" is a reason to justify opposing it because I think the reality is that you guys just straight up either aren't creative enough, or aren't invested enough, in utilizing things that look like shit in your art. you can make cool art out of things that look like shit. "looks like shit" is such a deeply relative thing to begin with. i don't think AI art looks like shit. I think it looks like art which was spat out of a giant statistical model, which it literally is. that's like saying [puffed cheese snacks] shouldn't exist because they taste like shit and are extruded garbage. both of the latter things are true but that doesn't change the fact they are also really good and fulfilling and life giving and enjoyable and also can be used in creative and interesting and unexpected ways. you may hate puffed cheese snacks at like, a bridal shower or whatever you people get up to, but look me in the eye and say that you wouldn't even be a little bit at least amused or interested if someone pulled out a bag of puffed cheese snacks out of their purse after they fucked you within an inch of your life and passed them to you while you both lie in bed sweaty and naked. that would be funny. it would be intriguing. and most importantly it would be a subversion of expectations that births interest. AI art isn't "bad" you guys just suck at using it for effective cultural and artistic critique. Get better at satire and polemics! Disavow the withering dullness of bourgeois art! Disavow the prevailing attitude which tells you Art is something which must be chained to the Academy, to Prestige, even to "beauty" or "technique!" Art is not an expression of Linear Skill, it is not a Moral Virtue earned by Suffering in the Practice Mines. Art is about expression, and expression can take as many forms as people can understand them to be.
"ART has to be CHEAP and AVAILABLE to EVERYBODY. IT needs to be EVERYWHERE because it is the INSIDE of the WORLD. ART SOOTHES PAIN! Art wakes up sleepers! [...] ART IS CHEAP! HURRAH!" (from The Cheap Art Manifesto)
AI art is a medium which has certain strengths and weaknesses, certain peculiarities and qualities, certain aesthetic bents, certain social movements in how it is utilized, and a particular relationship with political economy. This does not preclude the ability to use it effectively for expression. Rather, we can use the medium in ways that utilize its strengths and minimizes its weaknesses effectively. and those strengths and weaknesses are not objective truths! They are subjective understandings rooted in particular analyses, and the artistic visions each individual brings to the project from out of the context of their unique experiential data and aesthetic knowledge and sensibilities.
It is not valuable to disregard an entire burgeoning medium because you think its stupid or looks like shit. there's nothing in essence distinguishing between that and people who consider Marcel Duchamp's Fountain a demarcation point of the "fall of Western Civilization." It is a reactionary impulse.
Deep AI Mr. Beast YouTube thumbnail upon you.
