When The Hyperfixation Hits Like A Truck Might Color This Later

Drawing more edgy stuff

you'll get the urge as an artist or a writer to say out loud the things you're worried about "the proportions are off" "kind of out of character" "i'm not good at summaries" "didn't get as much detail as i wanted" "i made a mistake and here's how" and that's the self-conscious part of your brain telling you "it's bad and if you don't tell them you know it's bad then they'll think you're stupid" but you've got to ignore that little voice and pretend you think it's good or else that little voice is going to ruin your life

The last days of the petition against conversion therapy are FASCINATING to watch. I have been following it pretty closely for almost a year now, and the progress was, above all, steady. There was this jump when some algorithm in Finland picked it up, but even that was local.

And now, everyone is panicking.

Which really shows.

These past three or four days, multiple countries have reached the threshold. Even more notably, the number of signatures in total, the ones that we need to get one million of, are growing rapidly. There are only 400'000 signatures missing. Two days ago, it was closer to 600'000.

You can see the progress here:

Consider joining the fun by making everyone around you sign it!

Not to hate on either PC or console gaming but while I love the customizability and broadness of PC gaming, I hate how overly complicated everything has to be. Especially when it comes to ports. With console gaming it's just like you pop in the CD/card/whatever and it works while with PC, if you're unlucky you gotta go over ten thousand settings before you can even start with playing and half of the time controllers don't even work. I don't mind playing games with keyboard and mouse when it's meant for that, or the game is altered to work for that style but if it doesn't it always feels kinda clunky or at the very least it takes time before I can get properly used to it. I just wanna press play and get going, y'know? Maybe I'm too autistic for this, I dunno

Sometimes I kinda wish I got into Tumblr back in the day. Figuring all of this out now feels a bit odd. I guess I did have the Tumblr lite experience through Quotev tho

Artfight attack on coyxte

Lots of thoughts recently. Everything feels plastic.

I could go on and on about why all that AI "art" is bad. I could mention theft, lack of creativity, it's impact on the work field and environment, but countless people have already said all that. I wanted to touch on something that to me is the most utterly wrong about all of it.

Art is more than just something pretty to look at or listen to. It's therapeutic. It's a form of communication. A tool for human connection. It's a pure, human need.
