Did Anyone Else See This Weird Wikipedia Bug?

October 12. My even worse attempt at drawing an owl.

Today I tried again to draw an owl. But anyway, I was busy, tired, and got in a hurry, and the owl drawing has been even worse then yesterday. Well. Lets hope that tomorrow I do it better.

lord father, the american men are drawn to orthodoxy for its discipline, authenticity, rich history and absolutely no other reasons whatsoever

October 28. An hourglass.

This does not have much to do with Halloween, or October, or Autumn. But it was inspired by me thinking about the passage of time today, thanks to personal stuff. But still, I am not that happy with how the sand looks.

Six judges invented the US monarchy. Just made the shit up.

Interesting how the public has no access to the Supreme Court. You can't see any case. Yet billionaires can bribe the justices for decades.

Follow the money to Republican oligarchs.

what a miserable day.

reminding myself the world is not fundamentally changed. we have elected our own downfall, but there are birds outside, and my little niece is learning to walk, and I need to go grocery shopping.

(people had fulfilling lives during the fall of the roman empire. I'm reading books from the 1930's, the last time fascism almost consumed us. I am reminding myself of the people of the world right now living under unjust regimes. I am looking to minorities in america, past and present, for tips on thriving with a boot on your neck. I am reaching out to the half of the country who is mourning with me today, reminding myself there is good, there are helpers, we are still here.)

in the future there will be protests, bad news, fights (jesus christ, thanksgiving is still ahead). for now I am just trying to remember how to live. in 2016 I completely shut down and retreated from everyone. I allowed myself to be tricked into thinking I was alone. I don't want to do that again. (I don't want to do any of this again.)

this is how you live through tragedies - any way you can.

October 3. Another attempt at a wolf

So. Today I procrastinated even more, and got really in a hurry with this drawing. On one hand, I am more proud that this wolf seems to have a more...„accurate” shape, if you ignore the head, and a more accurate posture and running motion. On the other hand, the perspective seems off, and the head has its own problems, different then those of my drawing from yesterday.

This AI art thing is becoming so harmful to artists, and not just in the obvious ways. I keep seeing videos of people picking apart art to prove that it’s AI. They point out mistakes that don’t make sense like incorrect folds or abstract backgrounds. While a lot of these are in fact AI, the mistakes they point out are mistakes real artists make too. Sometimes I don’t draw correct folds or anatomy. Or I make a decision that doesn’t reflect reality because it looks better.

As AI art becomes more and more indistinguishable from real art, artists aren’t allowed to make mistakes or take creative liberties that “don’t make sense” anymore. It completely discourages learning. We’re now being told that computers can make mistakes, but humans can’t. It’s not just our jobs or our art being stolen, it’s our humanity too.

Yeah, I hope that good things start to happen too.

good things will happen 🧿

things that are meant to be will fall into place 🧿

October 29. A simple tree drawing.

Nothing complicated today. I studied and worked, so I lacked the time needed to fully comit.
