They blocked me before I decided to screenshot their posts, but no, thisfursonadoesnotexist is not in the slightest an 'ethical' example of AI. It scraped 55k images from e621 without permission from the artists. It's a plagiarism machine.

thisfursonadoesnotexist dot com is art theft from what I can tell, so if anyone I see uses this I'm blocking immediately.

Overwhelmed by 10 attacks on artfight already, they really lifted my spirits but I also am VERY BAD at accepting gifts and feel obligated to attack everyone back because I'm used to gifts being held against me/treated like I didn't deserve them so yay anxiety and self-hatred

I've uh, been having a bit of a mental breakdown the last few days after finding how much dental work I need done that the last dentist is almost entirely to blame for. About to be 5k in debt thanks to one tooth. Kinda just been sleeping for days and casually having dark thoughts

(A quick n crappy 2 am thing since I've seen that going around again! I like cute pastels and I like spoopy monsters. I think the variety in my "style" is perhaps part of why interest in my art has waned over the years? Most people like artists who do one memorable "theme". *shrug*)

40th birthday yesterday went well, mostly spent it on the road with my Vaska back to Florida for the month. Also stopped for some vegan goodies tho ;u; Five Daughters and Flour + Time, both in Atlanta. And my mom got me one of my dream ita bags! Covered it in my favorite pins <3

I missed making an art for our 4-year anniversary on the 3rd, as we've been too busy spending the last month together, but here's the picture I did for our 2-year. Love you my Vaska, I've never been treated so well by anyone in my life, I still feel so unworthy.

But most people's response when I describe my sexuality is "no one is really like that". It's frustrating. I can find beauty to appreciate in any type of physical appearance or gender, the closest I get to having a preference in anything physical with a partner is that they are hygienic lol

I haven't met many other demisexuals, any out there? I feel very proud but alone in my orientation. I've never been with another demi, and most people don't believe me when I say I don't have a "type" and that my attraction to someone is 100% based on who they are inside

I've been even more lethargic and zombie-ish since doubling my depression meds last month. Summer time also tends to drain me... I can't stand the southern heat anymore I just want to be in a rainy mossy cool forest. Also been busy with my Vaska and trying to be more active outdoors in spite of heat

Scavengers Reign is amazing please watch it if you like the concept of Akira meets Centaurworld My main criticism is just that the characters are all so dumb/unlikeable. I hate when plot only moves forward bc of someone doing something predictably dumb as fuck it's such a crutch

I've been in this fandom for 25 years. I'll be 40 next month. I think I'm finally over making friends. I'm kinda happy to be a nobody these days. Wish I could give 20 year old me a list of who to avoid and tell her to focus on herself more than others.

Since it's asked of me a lot, I don't attend conventions anymore, haven't for years. All the worst people I've ever known seem to attend every single possible con they can, also it's not worth the sexual harassment and almost-kidnapping I've experienced lol people are terrifying and awful

I think the worst part is every time people do that it makes people less likely to believe real victims. Pretty fuckin monstrous. Not many things make me consider a person to be an irredeemably Bad Person, but that's definitely one of the things.

Worst thing I did to my ex: Stop talking to him when he gave me an ultimatum that I was expected to like everyone in his life. In return he calls me a groomer and rapist. It's been months and I'm still in shock and wondering what the fuck was going through his demented head.

(Sprinklies were an obscure plush toy from the early 90s with an environmental message. They had fountains on their heads and dolphin-like tails. They were designed to be a cartoon for a music video that never got made, but you can read hear the song here: www.bide-et-musique.com/song/11674.h...

I made a Sprinklies OC! Name ideas?? She loves mushrooms and lichen and educating people about them whether they like it or not. When on walks with her, I hope you like taking it slow, because she will stop to admire every slime mold she sees! Her favorite is the wrinkled peach mushroom.

Had to watch a baby bunny die slowly last night after an ourdoor cat was toying with it in our yard. I can't stop hearing its wheezing breaths in my head. *drinks myself to death* Keep. Your. Fucking. Cats. INDOORS.
