i totally understand leaving tumblr over the Ai sellout news if youre an artist but for the love of god dont think that posting on twitter is safer. they dont only sell your data but also explicitly use it train their own in house X Ai which you agree to by the virtue of using the website. nowhere is safe but thats like out of the frying pan into the lions maw

Well, see you, friends

Don't go after staff members because of this, for what I know they weren't even informed until later in the process. You know who this comes from.

#This is it that's me done #The only reason I'm not nuking my blogs is because it doesn't get rid of my stuff reblogged by others #so I will remain here in name only so you can at least find me elsewhere #no more original content #fuck AI forever

tumblr has an AI toggle you should turn on to prevent your work being shared with training models/etc! it's under settings & visibility.

If there's one piece of advice I can give to fic writers who feel discouraged by the "content creation" culture and lack of community engagement in modern fandom, it's to try writing for an audience of one.

And I don't mean write for yourself!

Find one weirdo friend that enjoys sharing ideas with you, and write fanfiction for them. Get to know their taste, and tailor your writing to it. One person who will message you while reading your stuff and want to discuss it deeply and dig into and challenge your ideas - they will give you more creative satisfaction than a hundred vague, vacant comments of praise.

Maybe some other folks will end up reading and enjoying your work! If they do, they will probably have more in-depth things to say, too, because you'll be writing deeply on a specific set of concepts, not creating broadly palatable, derivative, marketable drivel meant to appeal to a large audience.

And if no one else reads it, you'll still have that one weird friend.

#I’m not a fic writer nor am I in a fandom but this applies to original content as well #I am also that one weirdo if ever there was one but specifically for everything Frey writes #and in turn I write everything for him so it’s very much a working system #I mean you’d hope so considering what we write is our co-authored project but the mentality is there #average lance behaviour

The photos that NASAHubble & NASAWebb took of The Pillars of Creation inspired me deeply. I had to draw what I saw in the formation: A hand reaching into the universe. What an accomplishment for humankind and what a symbol for exploration and knowledge. Credit 2nd image: NASA

LJS 64 is a book of diagrams, many with moving parts, designed to accompany the work Theoricae novae planetarum by 15th-century Austrian Georg von Peurbach, who is considered one of the first modern astronomers. He was particularly interested in simplifying the Ptolemic system (which places the Earth in the center of the solar system). The diagrams in the book demonstrate increasingly complex planetary motion.
