nonononono, wage theft occurs when you promise to pay someone X amount of money for Y amount of work, then cut it to, let's say, ½X for the same Y because "oh you know times are tough for everybody" and then never increase it back up again

Artfight Revenge attack on @saltscp.bsky.social whose attack left me thinking "wait, WHY am I turning around?"
Mouse Guard is a game that defined a generation. However, I'd guess that Salt, being a big cat, would have as much trouble finding someone to play with, as I did IRL.

Status update: So... I figured out what settings were wrong on my old computer and can draw again (obviously). Still slower than normal, but i CAN draw. I had two nearly-finished attacks on the computer that broke, gonna try to see if a repair service can recover the files.

A leak sprouted in the roof of my house directly over my computer and the water that fell on it appears to be continually shorting the "on" button (it lights up, fans whir; seconds later, it goes out) When this happened in 2012 I popped out the battery. That's not a thing anymore

Here's hoping this'll reach more people. For the foreseeable future my computer is Kaput. It can't turn on and I have no copies of the files there. Obviously this will severely affect my art output. I drew this mostly to test whether I could use my old computer. It was torture.

Sometimes I'd like to have the money and time to be able to just... sketch out my dreams. I don't dream every night, and when I do they're not always worth telling, but if I had that kind of resources, what would the rest of my life be like? Would I dream more or less?

#DreamDiary
I was attending school in Goldenrod and (what I now assume is) my student advisor notices my Wingull has severe difficulties flying. She sends me to Violet City, where there's a flight school. Flight school demands I first learn to fly myself; fortunately I already do

Since I know someone will say "just put these descriptions into an AI art generator" I took a moment to try that with Craiyon. Goldenrod City became a forest of Solidango flowers and the biplane had just one wheel. I would've spent that time much better if I'd just done it myself

…so I fly over the mountain that separates us from Goldenrod. The plane stalls and crashes into a tree. I begin to tell my pokémon we're safe since trees produce oxygen when something flies overhead: The villains launched missles to release the Cloud in Goldenrod. And I wake up.

They unfortunately pass out before they can decide whether to battle me or cuff me and I realize the Hypoxia Cloud has been released. I run back to Violet to warn everyone, but it's too late, so I grab my pokémon and get on my plane. I figure I'll be safe once I exit the valley…

It has been severely Disneyland-ified since my last visit and a new villain team is taking advantage of this. Their plan is to create a "Hypoxia Cloud" which will knock everyone out and then just pick their pokémon off the ground. Security confuses me for one of them and stops me

I'm assigned an acrobatic biplane and told I can move up to a powered glider once I prove I mastered it. Wingull rides along the first few times but soon learns to take off on his own. I leave Wingull with my Pelliper from Ruby and take the weekend off to visit the Ruins of Alph.

I mean…yes, that's technically accurate. First part of the problem is that we decided to abreviate "generative-from-noise pre-trained text-to-image artificial-intelligence deep-learning transformer model" as just AI, even though AI covered from smart stoplights to machines that could beat jeopardy
