#reblog this if you can't help

[gailynovelry]

You know those aesthetic image posts that float around tumblr? I'm . . . starting to see a lot on my dash that are obviously ai-generated. Are non-artists having trouble telling the difference between AI images and real photos, or are people starting to stop care about the stolen art that gets fed into those programs?

#i think it's just that people can't tell the difference between original art/photos and AI stuff #might revisit this later with something of a guide to help people notice at a glance #because once you know what to look for? #it's impossible not to see it #anyway don't feel bad if you reblogged ai stuff by accident #i just spent a lot of time studying it and also art

My family and “boss” are now thinking that every time I’m upset or defending myself from an authority that hurts me that I’m throwing a baby fit. What do I do?

#please help #don't ignore #reblog this if you can't help

#ray's tag #keys' art #undescribed #skeletons #ok to reblog #the skeleton model that i traced for this was provided by the incredible kiku @kikunai whom you can find right here on tumblr! #so uh. This is a piece about chronic fatigue although the original idea i had for it drifted a bit as soon as I started coloring the linear #(i really enjoy shading and lighting things and got a bit carried away here but i stand by my choice because this is my favorite thing #that i've ever drawn) #anyways. i often feel especially lately with school being back in season that my bones are leaden with this sort of. weariness. theyre heav #it weighs on our mental health and energy a lot and although there's a couple of reasons we have been given for it #that doesn't remove the fact that this is still a thing that affects us in a very real way day to day although we are good at masking it. #often i come home to find that i do not have the physical mental or creative energy to work on things i really want to #especially project: nexus which i feel extra bad about even though i can't help it because i just started it so recently #it is a mild to moderate struggle to make it day to day and i just. wanted to represent this somehow #my original concept for this was a skeleton with some black goop gunk whatever leaking from its joints #but as i started adding the cracks and coloring them gold (a personal touch; kintsugi is a concept that is very dear to us) #i realized that the focus here was less on the condition itself and more on the body that it afflicts. #so i put it into a spotlight. #ironic i know since very little people acknowledge this irl or even know it exists at all but i added rim lighting. I added color gradients #I colored the lineart and made it all fancy and even added a flare for the head to get the point across that even at its core; disability i #a performance. this is not implying that disabilities are fake in fact this is the opposite of that. i wanted to show that with disabilitie #especially i think in my personal opinion the invisible ones #we are all masking at least a little bit during the vast majority of the day. humans are social creatures and it is only when we are alone #or with someone we deeply trust where we allow ourselves to be who we truly are without fear and even then that can be rare #so i wanted to show this bit of the soul in as broad a limelight as i could. idk this is a really abstract piece and i dont know if anyone #will even get it but it matters to me at least. and even though we've been largely bedridden for the past week i think that's okay #we will get it figured out. all of us. okay? okay. i love you. i fucking love you. we are going to fucking make it #(also the xes over the eyes are because i thought they looked cool they have no deeper meaning at least i think they dont #actually i think they do but i cant put it into words idk. Art is subjective assign your own meaning i'm gonna go get a shower)

idk how much stock i put into those "gen z is more conservative than past generations" think-pieces from a few years back. but it's very possible for a person: to believe that climate change is a problem, to support (or be part of) the LGBT community, to believe in universal healthcare and social services, to support religious tolerance, to fight for expanded housing and labor rights, etc etc etc, and still, like, unabashedly hate women on a level you wouldn't believe existed

#like you really can't underestimate how far someone's hate can go for a specific group of people #while also believing in otherwise 'progressive' values idk #maybe i'm being a pessimist about these things #this is related to the last post i reblogged but now it's just on my mind #i understand that polls show (at least in the us) that gen z votes more blue than past generations and that's commendable #but you can walk and chew gum yknow. you can believe in progressive stuff while also being a massive sexist #and idk if these 'woowoo ~~trendy~~ sexism stereotypes but 'alternative and rebellious' bc i'm owning it' shit is uh. helping. #especially when you're too young to discern what is and is not 'ironic' or a 'joke' and you take it at face value #certain stuff is formative bc you're exposed to it young. and then BAM. it shapes how you see the world for a Very long time #sexism #rambles

🏳️‍⚧️ Top Surgery Funding 🏳️‍⚧️

As most of you know at this point, things are getting scary for trans people in America recently. With that being said, I don't know how much longer I'll legally be allowed to get this surgery seeing as I live in a red state. It's not the reddest state ever, but it's still getting pretty bad. I would love to be able to get top surgery by this time next year. I do believe that to be possible with enough help.

I don't know the exact amount the surgery will cost as I have not yet had my consultation. Seeing as I don't have insurance and based on how much I've seen others spend, I think $10k is pretty close to what I'll likely be spending. I'll be sure to update when I do have an exact number.

Update: I don't qualify for my state government insurance and the job I'm in the process of starting doesn't have insurance, so this will be completely out of pocket, so this number is staying as is unless my eventual consultation tells me otherwise.

This includes the following:

A P@treon for my YouTube/Twitch that has a minimum of $1/mon and a maximum of $20/mon

A k0-f! where you can buy me a coffee or commission some art (art in gallery is old, but I should still be able to do it. I'll communicate if anything needs to be adjusted)

A direct link to my P@yP@l

A link to my G0F√ndMe

As well as links to my R3dBubble and S0ciety6

Any small amount helps

i started a patreon

hi, i'm autumn, aka lalalychee. i am a call center representative by day, and a photorealism painter by night. here's one of my paintings:

neither my day job or painting are things i am able to do as much as i'd like due to being physically disabled with stage 3 CRPS and a connective tissue disease. my health has resulted in a constant stream of medical bills that i frankly cannot afford on top of my regular bills, and i need help. my patreon is a way for you to chip in anything at all to help me get by. things have gotten so hard. in return, i will post kinda whatever you want, i guess! painting works-in-progress, makeup tutorials, life updates, i dunno! let me know what you want to see and i will do my very best to earn my keep. i just want to stay afloat financially without feeling like i'm going to puke every time i get a medical bill. i currently see 4 specialists in addition to my family doctor and i feel like i'm drowning.

please consider helping out

#community help #artist in need #disabled artist #queer artist #please reblog for signal boosts even if you can't contribute #thanks and i love u

I'm sorry it came to this but in light of recent news, I've set up a Gofundme in hopes that I may remain in my current location and safe!

Details of my current situation is mentioned on the page.

Likes and reblogs are immensely appreciated, especially since links are tricky on tumblr! 💕

[darkangel0410]

Hey, guys, I'm sorry to be asking for help again, but the friend I was staying with while I was apartment hunting kicked me out and I'm staying at a (cheap) hotel with my kids, and I could use some help with paying for the room while I still look for an apartment

Please reblog, thank you ♥️♥️♥️

#the system sucks in case anyone didn't know already #i've called every org in my city and county and half of them don't have funding to help anyone new #and the other half are so overcrowded to the point where they can't accept any new people #so here i am #please reblog even if you can't donate #thank you ♥️♥️♥️ #crowdsourcing #donations

Before I go to sleep I leave you all with this piece of advice: sometimes you don't actually have to answer big political questions, sometimes you can just say "I am not smart enough to know that, I just know the small things I do to help." Like you can often times completely avoid making a fool of yourself if you just say you don't know.

#simon says #to explain here and not in a reblog: #sometimes when you try to explain big picture solutions you're gonna sound dumb #you might not have done enough research #you might not have a rebuttal to a counter argument #you might not be articulate enough to explain why you think this #sometimes you gotta take a step back and give the simple solution. the one man solution #you do what you can to fight against the problem #you talk to people to help spread awareness and how to fight the bad problem #and you vote and invite others to vote for bigger steps towards solving the problem #like you can talk about theory and how you believe we need to do a huge drastic thing to solve and issue #but people will disagree and argue til you're blue in the face #they'll poke and prod until you mess up or lose your temper and use it against you #and you'll feel dumb and they'll learn nothing #sometimes the best thing to do is step away from the big picture and just say 'idk what the solution is I just know the things I can do“ #sometimes you gotta admit you're not a scientist/expert and you can't answer that #i used this while talking with my Dad tonight #he brought up our climate crisis and space travel as a possible solution #and I said I think that's just addressing the symptom and not the cause and we need to care for our Earth now #and he asked me what solutions I think would fix it #and knowing my incredibly smart Dad who is articulate and ready to throw rebuttles at a moments notice to play devils advocate #and my past experience in struggling in this topic with him before #i just told him I didn't know. all i knew is the little things I can and do do to help #and that hopefully by spreading the word and habits and encouraging others to vote for those bigger solutions I could help make a change #but all I really could do is the little things I have control over #and the topic became much less stressful about the little things we have control over #like planting native plants and recycling and adopting habits that are healthier to our planet #which was 100% more preferable to if I tried to give a big solution. because I would reveal i didn't have all the knowledge needed to argue #and my articulation would make me sound like a stupid kid who only thinks they know what's best #so yeah I basically suggest that if you dont wanna feel like shit after debating someone just step away from the big picture for a moment

With some car issues and taking care of a senior pet who now requires lifetime meds, I'm going to open up commissions for a short time. :) 5 slots only (for now) as I want to see how I handle the extra work load while balancing my projects and working full time. If I feel I have a good handle on it, I'll add in backgrounds and nsfw options. (For adult clients only ofc.) If you have any questions or want more samples, please feel free to DM me!

EDIT: 0/5 Slots remaining ^^

[armchair-factotum]

Nobody ever donates but I just need $600 so I don't lose my car this month. Please, any reblogs or smaller help would be something. I've been looking for work since August and nobody's even given me an interview, and it'll only get worse if I don't have the car I bought on loan before being suddenly let go without warning.
