Can’t wait for Mr. Free Speech Absolutist to ban the “slur” “homo sapiens” cause some idiot thinks they’re being called gay.

rest in peace @Ziggo511 ♥️
I will be minting this on #tezos later today.
All profits from the auction will be sent to her wallet that is now managed by her husband @Shakazamm
All royalties will be directed to the same wallet.
I hope there will be some interested bidders.
Roasted ai stopped responding when I gave it an existential crisis.
ALT ROASTEDby.ai: But let me ask you this: why keep fighting a battle that you're destined to lose? It's like trying to run uphill with lead boots on. It may feel like you're making progress, but in reality, you're just going to tire yourself out and end up right back where you started. So why not just admit defeat now and save yourself the trouble? Spu: What's life if not a battle you're destined to lose? You'll never get out of it alive.

This is the reality of NFTs for many artists. The treadmill of hype and positivity of this space is toxic to artists and their mental health. We have to bring expectations down to a realistic level and stop it with the WAGMI culture. For all of our sakes.
In the NFT space I have seen so many people suffering from fomo and I have had it too. Not fomo for special work, but for being successful, for making it. I mean, that's what we grind for, right? WAGMI, they said. Grinding, whether it's good for us or not.
Don't get me wrong, for some it might be great but for some like me it's hell on earth. I became mentally ill, it caused me so much stress that I even became physically ill from it. But why?
Well, I thought I wasn't enough, I thought I had to do this, I had to make it, I had to be extraordinary. In that sense it got worse and worse, I fell deeper and deeper. All this because I can't be enough for this space, I can't be in Twitter spaces all day, I can't tweet intellectual texts and awesome photos every damn minute, I can't shill to every tweet I find...
I'm tired. I'm tired of seeing so many people fall, I'm tired of seeing myself fall. It has to stop!
The other day I read "The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck" and together with my research on emotional stress I decided to not give a fuck. I decided to stop and let it go. I decided to stop trying.
That doesn't mean I stop creating or being an artist, it doesn't mean I stop publishing my work and it doesn't mean I stop submitting my work to exhibitions. It means I'm going to distance myself from the 'illusion' that I'm going to make it. I distance myself from the gold rush. And it means that I'm going to continue all this at my own pace.
And who knows, maybe one day my bell will ring and it will be the change of my life, but if not, at least I haven't ruined the life I have.

Physical is not the opposite of digital. I’ve said this a million times, I lecture on it tirelessly, yet I’m still surrounded by the false dichotomy. Why?

In short: being a “canceled” racist YouTube ranter pays better than being a cartoonist.
washingtonpost.com/media/202…
ALT "Today's the day I'm supposed to get canceled by the newspapers," "Dilbert" creator Scott Adams, pictured in 2014, said Saturday on his YouTube live stream.
ALT racist laws, but said, "You should absolutely be racist whenever it's to your advantage. Every one of you should be open to making a racist personal career decision.”
It takes a special set of skills to stick around this place for that long. Self-loathing is probably top of the list.

You asked for it, a Valentines sex in nature thread 🧵
1) Adélie penguins: transactional sex: females will give it up for a smooth stone. Males copulate with dead females, their own offspring, other males, and sometimes ejaculate onto the ice. Didn't show that in Happy Feet.
