a single spark is never alone for long (1/2)

when artists complain abt how people are spending $8 to have an AI farm and rip off artists/their work for a meme, we’re told “art is a luxury, I can’t afford it” when artists get lowballed by billion dollar companies and we’re told “$3k is a lot for them to pay you stfu”

non-artists want us to shut up because they want to go on consuming our art guilt free, to join a vapid meme without caring that AI will ruin livelihoods in the future when companies don’t want to pay us. we know our worth & that bothers people bc they don’t think art matters

Say it with me now!

So this is here now. This is why, going forward, you see a blue check tweeting inflammatory nonsense, you don’t engage. Don’t reply, don’t quote retweet, nothing. Block and move on. People now have a financial incentive to piss you off.

This is my cousin. He advocated for Palestine relentlessly, despite constant death threats. He was shot and killed on Wednesday, and the German police refuse to investigate his murder as a hate crime. My family NEEDS people to speak up.
