To All My American Friends, The Time Is Now.

‼️ URGENT AND EXTREMELY TIME SENSITIVE, PLEASE REPOST‼️

I have an extremely important doctors appointment tomorrow in regards to something horrible that is happening to my body and I CANNOT miss it. My spouse just found out they have to work all day tomorrow and cant take me

I don't have any family or friends in the area who can take me. And I can't go alone because I'm a wheelchair user with a lot of nerve death in my hands so I can't get myself around without help

A friend can come help but they won't have their car tomorrow so we both need to Uber to the Dr's office separately and then they'll uber back home with me until my spouse gets home to take them back home.

Due to lack of public transportation and high demand Ubers are very expensive around here. I need at least 90 dollars by tomorrow morning or im screwed

This appt is so important, and im sorry to beg but I really need help. I've tried figuring out another way but this is the only plausible plan at the moment.

Anything helps and thank you so much

mutual aid los angeles (MALA) has put together a spreadsheet with valuable resources for people affected by the ongoing los angeles wildfires and wind storm. the sheet is constantly being updated with resources such as shelter info, animal boarding info, addresses for distribution centers, volunteer opportunities and so much more.

please share this spreadsheet widely

That time I didn't buy a yearbook so my good pal Riley offered to draw something for me instead of signing my yearbook. I requested this. On my body.

What is this about the tumblr staff wanting to sell art data to midjourney?

An ex-colleague of mine mentioned yesterday that there may be contacts between Automattic and midjourney in that direction, but nothing is public yet and I don't have any more info. They probably won't have anything specific to share either, since they left the company weeks ago too. That being said:

I have no reason to doubt my ex-coworker word, they are a trustworthy person.

Tumblr's CEO has been absurdly enthusiastic (comically, even) about AI, and is a big fan of LLMs and 'AI' companies.

A deal with midjourney could solve tumblr financial issues (not the same company, but openAi is paying up to 5 million/year to news companies to use their content as training data... tumblr generates several orders of magnitude more content than any newspaper or any media company and it only would need a 20 to 30 million per year deal to be profitable)

So I don't have any extra info yet, but I'm keeping my ears open.

new reig time.

the time to give him an ill-fitting suit that's simultaneously too big and too small, and to get slowly better at drawing it

Thanks to werepenguinart, for that tutorial on how to paint digitally! I applied it to my ipad app, and I feel like I cheated because it looks good! Hope the wait was worth it for you guys :) Tell me if you want to see more of this rather than the cartoony style!

all right I guess tumblr ate this post because it can’t handle the truth or something, so here it is again
