Getting your info on AI purely from tumblr communists will really warp your brain. And I don't just mean the anti-AI tumblr communists, which most of them are. Pro-AI tumblr communists will talk about AI like "This is a tool for the radical collective ownership of art. We are taking a stance against the opressive capitalistic system of copyright that abuses artists for the benefit of large corporations. Art is owned by no one. Art is owned by everyone." And then you step into the real world and AI is being used as a copyright grift to siphon money from creators using youtube's absolutely broken content id. Youtube, of course, being owned by google; the massive multi-trillion dollar company that is investing billions into AI.

This is getting wild. On the one hand, we have private equity trying to monopolize open-source software. On the other, we have the guy running Tumblr, who has been more than willing to ban trans people and activists, while keeping TERFs and Nazis on the platform.

Trump is so self centered, so entitled, and so dumb that he thinks diversity, equity, and inclusion means “racism” towards white people. And in the same breath, denounces the teaching of US history, especially Native and black history. He’s trying to erase us.

Finally back to post more art! This piece is from.. probably a week ago but we're slacking on updating our Tumblr lol

Apologies for the ugly watermark, unfortunately art theft is rampant. The text is our own composition too.

Text effect generator was used to create stylized text.

IssaRae candid words shed light on an unfortunate reality in the entertainment industry.

The challenges faced by Black shows and storytellers, along with the lack of accountability, are disheartening. It's important to amplify diverse voices and stories, but the burden shouldn't solely rest on individuals like Issa.

While it's disheartening to see the struggles and lack of priority given to these stories, it's also encouraging to witness Issa's determination to take steps towards independence.

It highlights the need for systemic changes and support for diverse voices within the industry. We can all play a part in holding the industry accountable for equitable representation and ensuring that diverse stories are given the attention they deserve.

Let's continue to support and uplift creators like Issa Rae as they navigate these challenges and work towards a more inclusive future.

ya know equal rights is men and women having equal rights and not women having more rights than men so like

i don't really think you know what you're talking about but why don't you explain to me how (for example) men and women are equally affected by whether or not they have the right to something like abortion access

Not too sound like a self-centered, arrogant, narcissistic asshole (which, not gonna lie, I can tend to be) but I fucking HATE when I'm at a party or any other type of social gathering, and I walk past a girl that's eyeing me like candy, just for one of her friends to tell me "hey, she said she's interested in you”.

No, she's not. She's probably already fallen in love and imagined a life together with an idealized, tender but hyper-masculinized version of me where I'm the perfect boyfriend that checks all of her boxes. I'm just human. I have my flaws. Just because I may look like a hunk doesn't mean I am or even act like one. I'm a massive nerd with niche interests that get brushed off as weird or boring by 90% of people that are too caught up on my looks. Yeah, I exercise, take good care of myself, have "traditionally masculine" skills that I like to even out with what would be considered more "feminine" ones (like cooking or sewing), but so what?

I'm only a guy trying to find his own peace of mind. Don't come into my life trying to turn me into yours.

I feel for every woman that has to suffer from the same kind of shit from low self-steem guys with mommy issues that think they need a female figure to save them because they're too chicken shit to work on themselves and their issues.

Hi hello I just got this email with what is, in my opinion, an incredibly bad take™️ - it is giving peak white peoples performative activism, especially as this is an organization that (in my experience) doesn’t actually do a TON to make its events accessible. I’ve tried before to get them to have more accessible and inclusive events, but I was literally the ONLY PERSON trying, which sucked and definitely burned me out.

However! this is literally the most ridiculous thing ever! And I am feeling CHAOTIC and want to make some privileged cis white people cry and have been inspired to go fight them just to be messy. and also make them think about doing some real activism for once.

But if I have a plan, why am I posting this on tumblr? WELL! while I have… a spicy brain™️, I’m not physically disabled or unable to stand. And because only one person I know follows me on tumblr (and I trust her!)(I doubt any of the messy org people are on tumblr tbh) can put this on the internet and 1. hopefully… entertain? people with this; 2. see if people with actual lived experience also think this is… WILD; And 3. give me fodder for drama, if you’re feeling petty.

But also HEY this is also just me ranting!! Because like YIKES ON BIKES (there have been, and continue to be, red flags with the org, but I keep working with the good people to do some very important direct access and visibility work so…)

ALT TEXT: A screenshot of two paragraphs of an email that reads, “A short time after the committee selected ‘Stand in Solidarity’ for this year’s theme, it was brought to our attention that the use of the word ‘stand’ could be perceived as ableist and offensive to members of our community, particularly members of the persons with disabilities community.

As an organization committed to inclusion and equity, the take this feedback very seriously. After some discussion with the Executive Board, we would like the convene the Media Committee to consider changing or altering the theme for this year.”
