Cool nights change the chemistry of leaves... ππ Lower temperatures and shorter days reduce chlorophyll production, allowing carotenoids and anthocyanins to dominate. Thatβs why fall colors are often brighter after crisp, sunny days and cool nights.

2) These idiot computer corporations scraped the internet to get OUR WORDS, OUR ART, OUR IMAGES, OUR MUSIC, OUR WAYS of WRITING and OUR WAYS of organizing OUR THOUGHTS and then had the unmitigated gall to repackage human expression, intelligence and creativity as some genius new computer algorithm.
Twisted Wrister (@twistedwrister.bsky.social) reply parent
I agree. It's a tool that's used incorrectly way too often. People go crazy with designing on it, and then realize they can't go back to edit it for updates, so they ask actual designers in desperation to clean up a mess from scratch. Sigh.

It's a tough time to be an artist or creative, and it's especially tough if you're doing that on a freelance or independent basis. Sharing someone's posts, leaving a positive review, or recommending them to a friend are 3 easy ways you can help. And they're all free!!

My Jinny is very vocal and since she's bonded with me, she'll gladly tell me when she's happy or pissed at me lol... when she purrs it's like a tiny engine purring and vibrating, usually accompanied by some bumbling. If she's pissed at me she usually headbutts me or nips at me. They're so weird lol

Iβve said it before but reading all the medieval history books Iβve been reading lately has been so comforting. Makes you realize that there have always been mad and incompetent kings and they almost always die in ignominy and everyone piles shit on them for centuries after theyβre gone.

Late night thought: When Bill and Ted said "be excellent to each other," it was supposed to be the kind of thing that people would universally agree was good advice. If it were made today though, for some reason that quote would put the film firmly on one side of politics...

I think my favorite thing (derogatory) about a vast chunk of current AI art is that itβs been so poisoned on Studio Ghibli + Norman Rockwell prompts that it has an instantly identifiable sheen of slightly brown baby shit, an uncanny valley endlessly filling itself with half-formed diarrhea.
