Wow, ang hilig talaga nila sa genAI slop, manang-mana.

Artists, where do you get your inspiration? I draw mine from Philippa Rice, Shaun Tan, Japanese artists like Chinatsu Ban and Yoshitomo Nara, Tove Jansson's Moomin art, Lewis Carroll's photography and the OG, Arthur Rackham. (And yes, I use Stelljun bebis stickers as bookmarks.)

This reeks of hypocrisy and desperation.

It's all performative shit, isn't it? We think that saying the right things on social media makes us good citzens of the world and excuses us from doing anything of substance. Who among us is actually willing to walk the talk?.

(2) People railing against genAI and Israel's war crimes but being okay with streaming on Spotify despite its promotion of AI music and its owner funding a weapons company that uses AI.

I'm constantly astounded by the cognitive dissonance on display here and everywhere else. The most egregious cases I've seen so far: (1) People crying about the effects of climate change but still collecting Labubu and other plastic dolls that contribute to environmental damage.

Cambodia clowning. Not surprising for a country that's pretty much been bought by China.

They say it's not a good sign that I'm reading Sylvia Plath again. I say they haven't even seen my other sad poetry books. Nothing can come between me and my oven now.

RT @keuniichiwa: your art style in general is so delicate and pretty im in love.

Apple trend minus the apple, haha. Another #Stelljun / #Pabstell (🤢) art in stages, this time for the new fiction I'm writing, from the first draft to the cover art. Made them younger in the final version because the characters are uni students. @ARTSB19

'Stone did not become apple. War did not become peace. Yet joy still stays joy. Sequins stay sequins. Words still bespangle, bewilder.'. ––Jane Hirshfield, 'Counting, New Year’s Morning, What Powers Yet Remain to Me'.

'My Head Is an Animal' will always be my favourite Of Monsters and Men album, and I will always find comfort in this live session from three years ago.
