Solidarity to anyone else that is having trouble making art when the world is a total dumpster fire.
It isn't even a lack of desire to make art or art block for me this time. It's legit just "it's hard to draw my silly little shit when multiple genocides are concurring (some with my tax money) and my government is trying it's best to take away all my rights and kill people like me or my loved ones".
Anyway, I really didn't want to center myself during a time of such great strife because complaining about feeling guilty for making dumb art when such important terrible things are happening feels gross. Which is why it took me so long to post this. But as this is my art account and I am making no art I felt compelled to mention why.

Hi, Tumblr. It’s Tumblr. We’re working on some things that we want to share with you.
AI companies are acquiring content across the internet for a variety of purposes in all sorts of ways. There are currently very few regulations giving individuals control over how their content is used by AI platforms. Proposed regulations around the world, like the European Union’s AI Act, would give individuals more control over whether and how their content is utilized by this emerging technology. We support this right regardless of geographic location, so we’re releasing a toggle to opt out of sharing content from your public blogs with third parties, including AI platforms that use this content for model training. We’re also working with partners to ensure you have as much control as possible regarding what content is used.
Here are the important details:
We already discourage AI crawlers from gathering content from Tumblr and will continue to do so, save for those with which we partner.
We want to represent all of you on Tumblr and ensure that protections are in place for how your content is used. We are committed to making sure our partners respect those decisions.
To opt out of sharing your public blogs’ content with third parties, visit each of your public blogs’ blog settings via the web interface and toggle on the “Prevent third-party sharing” option.
For instructions on how to opt out using the latest version of the app, please visit this Help Center doc.
Please note: If you’ve already chosen to discourage search crawling of your blog in your settings, we’ve automatically enabled the “Prevent third-party sharing” option.
If you have concerns, please read through the Help Center doc linked above and contact us via Support if you still have questions.

I do indeed have one of these but I don't know how to use it and only remember it once a month. I will try more actively to cross post art there. But I will not be leaving tumblr or anything like that. B)

There's one charity that I haven't seen shared here personally, and that's Care for Gaza.
They're shared a lot on twitter as a reputable on-the-ground relief source. You can donate to their gofundme to help their efforts here.

Decided to try and do a classical study to pull me out of art slump. Maiden in Contemplation by Gaston de La Touche. Original below. It was actually very soothing to do this. I feel like it would have been a good time to use the time lapse function in CSP but I completely forgot till I was almost done. :,) I will remember one of these days.

A little art V artist for 2023.
I hope to expand my skills this year and push myself further out of my comfort zone and not be afraid to make ugly art more often.
Edit: actually can I also just say to everyone who has been following me a while now through my life hurdles and mental health ups and downs and still continues supporting my art that you really have made more of a difference in my life than you can probably ever realize. I appreciate you all for looking at my pictures and expressing any interest and love for them. Truly truly grateful! Thank you all!

I feel like Elliott would be a needy and affectionate boyfriend and if he didn't get to see Tae Joon for like one whole day he would have to jump him as soon as he saw him again. Maybe perhaps.
