What exactly do these AI dudebros mean when they say “art isn’t accessible” ?
Do they mean creating art isn’t accessible? Because you can buy a pack of pencils and a notebook at the store my guy. You can learn writing, pottery, sculpting, scrapbooking, photography, candle making, painting, woodworking, digital art, programming.
Or do they mean finding art isn’t accessible? My brother in christ you’re on the internet there’s art literally EVERYWHERE! Follow artists, go to a museum, an art gallery, a concert, read books, watch movies and shows, watch documentaries about your interests, listen to music, play video games, watch youtube videos, it’s literally all art. If you can sit on your phone or computer and tweet about AI then you can access art very easily by simply doing any of the above.
They just want something easy, they don’t want to actually learn how to create, but the price of easy is stealing other peoples creations by making soulless images and destroying the planet.

May his memory be a blessing.
Willem Arondéus (22 August 1894 – 1 July 1943) was a Dutch artist and author who joined the Dutch anti-Nazi resistance movement during World War II. He participated in the bombing of the Amsterdam public records office to hinder the Nazi German effort to identify Dutch Jews and others wanted by the Gestapo. Arondéus was caught and executed soon after his arrest. Yad Vashem recognized Arondéus as Righteous Among the Nations.
Their attack, which took place on 27 March 1943, was partially successful, and they managed to destroy 800,000 identity cards, and retrieve 600 blank cards and 50,000 guilders. The building was blown up and no one was caught on the night of the attack. However, due to an unknown betrayer, Arondéus was arrested on 1 April 1943. Arondéus refused to give up the rest of his team.
Arondéus was openly gay before the war and defiantly asserted his sexuality before his execution. His final words were:
"Tell the people that homosexuals are not by definition weak."
From Wikipedia
He was also a pretty great artist
Reblog to include his artwork!
May his memory be a blessing

people have invented so many different ways of rephrasing "don't transition" to sound plausibly progressive enough to bystanders that they'll think trans people are over-dramatic for reacting negatively to it.
- medical transition is permanent so you should really consider it thoroughly and put off trying it unless you know for sure. yes, just keep second guessing yourself. 6 months, 3 years, 20 years...
- you might not like how you look. other people might not like how you look. you might not look cis. don't you want to be desirable? do you want to risk feeling worse and more insecure? you look so good now! we think you're so hot right now, and you wouldn't want to change your body and make it not hot to us, right?
- you are so valid if you don't transition. you don't need to transition. no one needs to transition. it's just cosmetic, it's just aesthetic, it's all optional and means nothing at all. (no, of course this is unrelated to arguments used for insurance not covering transition, or doctors denying care.)
- why do you even want to transition? are you trying to look cis? are you trying to adhere to beauty standards? are you doing this to look hot? that's regressive and outdated and assimilationist. (if you want us to take your politics seriously, you shouldn't transition)
- it's a waste of resources/privileged/bourgeois to transition. it's kind of morally suspect that you would transition and still ask for help ever in your life. why should we support someone who's transitioning if they're obviously not oppressed anyway.
- DIY HRT is too dangerous. you could hurt your body. you could get arrested. your life will probably end if you take HRT. if you can't access HRT legally, you just shouldn't take it. not for transphobic reasons!! just for your own sake <3
like when will it end

Figured I'd bring this repost-bait over here, because I'd love to know what albums y'all would put.
Honestly, if was hard picking just 4.
It took all my strength to not add disgraced artists with Reflektor and Yeezus, respectively. btw @socialistexan great picks, I LOVED Strange Mercy and The Rip Tide so much back then.

In less than one week, we witnessed the massacre of well over 700 Palestinians by Israel.
During this time we also learned that 170 of them were children all killed within 50 minutes while they slept, and many of those who survived joined the ever growing number of child amputees in Gaza, cementing its position as the area with the highest number of child amputees per capita in the world.
We also saw videos of Palestinian families in Tulkarm in the occupied West Bank being forced out of their homes in mass displacement campaigns, and similarly saw heartbreaking scenes of hundreds of other families in Gaza who face the same fate.
It's a lot.
This is not a call of despair, and I refuse to let go of hope. But at this stage, it just feels almost futile to try to "keep people informed." One thing I had promised myself years, decades ago is to never stop talking about Palestine. But who am I talking to now? There's an abundance of reporting and documentation that everyone can access. The silence is a deliberate choice. What else should I do? Do I need to walk the streets and scream that Gazans are breaking their fast with only bread and water? Do I grab people by the shoulder and tell them that the Israeli cabinet had already approved a "voluntary transfer" plan for Gaza, which is word for word what they implemented during the Nakba? How do I know that anyone is listening and recognising that the map of the West Bank is forever changed with intensified and active campaigns of ethnic cleansing? I don't even think people fully realise how gruesome the first sentence in this post really is, when Palestinian suffering has become so normalised due to it being live-streamed for 17 months and counting.
It really is a lot. Palestinians are experiencing one of the darkest times in our history and navigating an immense amount of grief. The least you can do is to not allow yourself to get used to this.
