Hana-youzakura - Welcome To My Shop~

here’s a hug,

for everyone trying and doing their best.

i see you.

and my heart is with you.

There is a mood/meme here...i just don't know what it is....help!

Why cant i do 2 projects at once? Like im really into a drawing ive been doing in my sketchbook just for myself right now, but also i have a digital drawing I've wanted to get done for like 3 months too...why am i incapable of splitting my time between them equally?

F*ck you and your opt-out bullsh*t Tumblr

I relate to Horikoshi.

Hello wtf happened to my twitter???

Good news, fellow artists! Nightshade has finally been released by the UChicago team! If you aren't aware of what Nightshade is, it's a tool that helps poison AI datasets so that the model "sees" something different from what an image actually depicts. It's the same team that released Glaze, which helps protect art against style mimicry (aka those finetuned models that try to rip off a specific artist). As they show in their paper, even a hundred poisoned concepts make a huge difference.

(Reminder that glazing your art is more important than nighshading it, as they mention in their tweets above, so when you're uploading your art, try to glaze it at the very least.)

Supreme Court issues decision on Trump immunity case | CNN Politics

The Supreme Court issued a ruling on the blockbuster case about former President Donald Trump’s immunity claims. Follow here for the latest

I cannot stress enough how important it is that whatever you think of anything else, Trump Cannot Be President Again.

The "rip apart democracy and install an autocrat" group was not Ready for him in 2016. They didn't think he'd win.

They're ready now. They're teeing up for a second Trump president. Whatever your favorite current Thing, it would be worse under Trump, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they're going to try to make sure that they stay in power forever, by any means necessary.

SCOTUS basically just said, "If Trump sends the Army in to murder protestors, that's okay. If Trump assassinates a political rival with the armed forces of which he is the Commander In Chief, that's an official act, and there's no recourse."

Anything he can even vaguely justify as "an official act" - including installing people in the Justice Department to support his coup, including pressuring his VP to support his coup - is no longer a crime.

This isn't just me saying this, btw. Here's Robert Reich, lifelong public servant (and yes, dad of @samreich, since I know what's important to y'all):

Finally, the Republican-appointed justices have given a dangerous amount of discretion to presidents — broad enough, as Justice Sonia Sotomayor noted in her dissent, to protect presidents from prosecution for bribes and assassinations. A president already has the authority under the Insurrection Act to order troops into American streets. After today’s ruling, those troops would be under the command of a person who would almost certainly enjoy absolute immunity for the orders he gives them.

This is unbelievably terrifying.

You ever get real far into a sketch and just be like: "I have to erase all of this....." cuz it just happened to me and I hate the world....(5 days of work for nothing.....)
