And March 13th, Which Was Also A Friday To Make Matters Worse, Is The Anniversary Of The Lockdown (for

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.)

ICE raids are set to start as soon as tuesday (JAN 21, 2025) in Chigago so make sure you know your rights, your community, and your plan.

ICE MUST have a warrant to search/enter any property. they will lie and manipulate you to allow them on the premises but if they arent holding a valid document in their hands they cannot legally do anything

They may say something like "our warrant is in the truck," tough shit, have them bring it to you, DO NOT FOLLOW THEM ANYWHERE. Do not leave your property if confronted.

If you are taken, say nothing until a lawyer is present. The exception is if there are bystanders present/filming, then you should shout your name and whats happening

If you are witnessing a raid in your community, wait to warn others via phone as the cops may be monitoring nearby communications and may use that to select their next targets. Warn by code or word of mouth

escape if the opportunity presents itself, but dont be stupid.

not the twitter migrants putting "reblog heavy" in their bios on here... like yeah. that's what we do here

like this post if you would let him out. reblog if you would go in there with him

Some of you didn't grow up with Jamie and Adam telling you failure is always an option and that is okay, you just gotta approach the problem differently. Or if you did, you didn't internalize that message. (Also Meet the Robinson's anyone? From failure you learn!)

Seriously! So what if your first attempt fails? Try again! Do something different! Sometimes solutions aren't always clear and we have to be creative! It is okay to fail! Its okay to even walk away from the problem entirely and try something completely new! Just don't let that failure bog you down and fester.

the suffering never ends

Love without Sex

I’m doing a Philosophy paper on Asexuality. Please reblog if you think Love without Sex is possible! I really need the data. Like if you think love has to have sex.

Hello sorry for tagging. I am very sick, my asthma is at its maximum level, my nose freezes, I have no medicine or food. I am in bad shape financially, I am a black disabled, who uses multiple medications, I pay for my food and lodging

Unfortunately I do not have all the resources to keep me safe, that is why I need your help, whatever you can contribute to me will be of great help.

Unfortunately I have no way of giving funds right now since my bank account is very limited of use. I do wish you the best in finding solace and comfort.
