#support artists!!

[julesart04]

Regulus Commission! ✨ i’m literally so excited! I didn't expect to get any commissions. If you feel like supporting me by making a commission please send me a DM. Imagine a a headcanon, AU or fanart you always wanted to see - send me a message to make it a reality! I'll draw pretty much anything (it doesn’t just have to be Marauders)

I hate AI.

Artwork and writing should be done by real people with real skill, not algorithms who don’t know how to count to 5 when making hands or can’t tell the difference between saying she “fell” and she was “dropped”.

So, when I heard about this new AI that’s supposed to help me with my work then I was less than eager to try it out.

Do I really look like I need the help?

No.

But after a while my colleagues began coming into work late… they started staring into space. Instead of rushing off at 5pm they left later and later, and not even claiming overtime.

So, naturally, I was a little curious.

One afternoon, I decided to finally set up my little “helper” AI.

I’ll admit it. It was helpful, I guess. The spiral-eyed cartoon was a little goofy but I did find myself getting more done.

And, once I started, it was hard to shut my laptop and head home for the day.

Each time she gave me another tasks I felt myself compelled to finish it. To send that last email. To create that next flow chart. To sink. To obey.

What was I saying?

Right.

My productivity has never been better, but my vacation time has been piling up.

I love my job.

Happy New Year, From GAZA 🌨️ ❄️

Hello 👋, My name is Momen Al Madhoun / I am a digital artist / a devoted husband / a father of two children " Ezzdeen & Amir " I live in Gaza City in the heart of the Genocide, working tirelessly to amplify my voice to the world through my artwork. I walk long distances to access electricity and internet, creating under harsh conditions to ensure my voice reaches the Tumblr community through my art. I hope you support me to continue surviving and ensure the safety of my family. Thank you for your time. Stay safe 🙏

Amir and his family have been displaced 7 times since this war began, and are under threat of being displaced again. Two days ago Israeli planes dropped leaflets over their camp saying they would be bombing the area. It is already incredibly difficult to live in these conditions even without the threat of being bombed. Please help Amir and his family by donating so they can continue purchasing basic necessities for their family! (verified, #174)

PSA: Tumblr/Wordpress is preparing to start selling our user data to Midjourney and OpenAI.

you have to MANUALLY opt out of it as well.

to opt out on desktop, click your blog ➡️ blog settings ➡️ scroll til you see visibility options and it’ll be the last option to toggle.

to opt out on mobile, click your blog ➡️ scroll then click visibility ➡️ toggle opt out option.

if you’ve already opted out of showing up in google searches, it’s preselected for you. if you don’t have the option available, update your app or close your browser/refresh a few times. important to note you also have to opt out for each blog you own separately, so if you’d like to prevent AI scraping your blog i’d really recommend taking the time to opt out.
