As A Librarian, I Can't Encourage You Enough To Check Out Stuff You Don't Think You'll Get Around To

NEW VIDEO HAS BEEN UPLOADED TO YOUTUBE!!!

Listen, sometimes I get lazy!

“using keep inventory is cheating and you’re not playing minecraft the REAL way” <- this guy cant get home by jumping into a 100 block deep ravine 

what do you mean elon musk did a nazi salute on live tv at the united states presidential inauguration twice and is now erasing the evidence off the internet by replacing the footage with the crowd cheering instead?

would be a shame if people reblogged this, wouldn’t it?

So, I was rewatching Chicken Little recently, and I had a thought. “Hey, what if I made the characters of Chicken Little as humans?” Then I learned that Chicken Little was a teenager... and this was born!! #chickenlittle #pixar #sketch https://www.instagram.com/p/CCVAA6WBnjF/?igshid=u49jot52akk

" You artists are panicking over nothing! No one is gonna steal your job just like photography didn't kill it! It's just a tool!"

....

-living struggling artists have their specific art made into AI and people are already buying AI reproductions of their style.

-There are already popular youtubers using AI pictures to illustrate their videos instead of hiring an artist.

- Publishing companies are making statements about having bought AI pictures for bookcovers without knowing.

But yeah sure, we are "worried for nothing."

My first attempt at making a sky, I think it turned out pretty well!

This. B*tch. Took me. 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Hours. The art god looked down on me and said suffer when I got the idea to redraw an art piece from my childhood. So I spent all that time crouched around my dining room table with my dinner doing this piece because I can’t say no.

Despite my complaints, I really like how this came out. Some of the colors don’t look exactly like my original picture, but they look close enough that I felt comfortable with them. Unfortunately, the full pictures can’t be shown on Instagram, but my Tumblr will have the full version of them.

TODAY IS THE ONLY DAY YOU CAN REBLOG THIS

I believe in free education, one that’s available to everyone; no matter their race, gender, age, wealth, etc… This masterpost was created for every knowledge hungry individual out there. I hope it will serve you well. Enjoy!
