There is AI that generates images by scrapping the internet and stealing the work of real photographers without their consent.

My real name is Alex but my mom decided it would be best to hide it for anonymity. But this is my story, not hers. This is not the free press’s story.

To the folks who believe they would’ve marched for civil rights if they grew up during that time, we’re seeing a fight for civil rights happen before our very eyes TODAY.
History will remember those who stood up for Trans lives and those who looked the other way and did nothing.

Holy shit. Texas republicans introduced a bill to give huge tax cuts to *straight* couples having children—with up to 100% cut in property taxes for TEN kids.
The bill’s author said “Get married, stay married, and be fruitful and multiply.”
This is handmaid’s tale shit.

When foreigners casually drop ‘bombing of Kyiv’ these pics always come to mind. this is what #RussianColonialism did to Chechnya and Grozny when they tried to leave the empire in 2000. a war crime of horrific scale, but the rest of the world was like ‘meh’, so Moscow continued.
