Maybe I can shed some light here, but maybe it's also just arguing on the internet... The problem is the following: imagine you're an artist with a physical shop. People go to your shop, they like your art and take pictures of it with their phone. That's the second best thing that can happen to you. (after someone buying your art or hiring you for commissioned work ofc). Bc the artist gets popularity from it. Now imagine somebody sets up a new storefront in front of the artists shop. Shows the artists work, but takes away the name. Says they can commission any piece that's like the artist's work, but for free. The artist makes no revenue anymore. They don't get popularity, bc the new shop shows it's own name and hides the artist. Now the artist goes bankrupt. The fake store front moves over to the next artist's shop and repeats the trick. Until they're all out of work.

Many artists like piracy. Bc it means people talk about your work. It gets shared and makes you popular, which inevitably leads to more buying customers at some point. Ai scrapers though mean you're not gaining in popularity anymore. So you starve, and that's the problem

They're just absolutely awesome. There's some living a few villages over from my hometown in a renaturalized bog. And they look so adorable!

Was really surprised by this one. I've been to Scotland twice now and only ever saw one highland cow there, but now I've stumbled over one no more than 2h from home, living the dream on an alpine meadow

Storytime,

On my very first time flying I was 18, flew alone from Europe to SE Asia and sat at the airport with hours to spare to make sure I really didn't miss my flight.

Police walk up, one stays away with a dog, the other comes to me. They ask whether I want to participate in their end of shift routine. The dog is super friendly and wagging, the police officers are super chill. They explain that their dog gets to find one positive package a day at least, otherwise he'll be sad. They ask whether they can stuff it in my bag. I'm a bit hesitant but this was still in my home country, not anywhere near a protest, so usually police are very professional.

They hid their package in my backpack. The dog had a blast finding it and got totally excited. I git to participate in the good boy routine of the day 🙂

Well.. I got a laser, but first don't know what foam that is and wanted to use what I got instead of buying sth And second would have taken so much time to design the exact shapes.. The method put tool on foam, cut around with knife was just a lot faster.

We got to see some jaegers in the Scottish Hebrides last year. They fly as nimble as a swallow but are larger than a gull. Very impressive. (they lived next to a gull breeding spot, no surprise 🤣)

🙂Sounds like you had fun and the audience had at least one surprise moment, got to learn something and I bet also got to laugh. Seems like you're adding to people's lives kid. And I really like the art. Not everything needs to be super intricate and detailed and what not. I believe art exists to spark emotions, and make people stop and think. Not to compare against other art.

Nice. What play did you perform on your puppet show? And if it isn't asking for too much, would you share a photo of one of your artworks? I did a limocut once in school, most memorable arts lesson I had since I still got the scar from cutting my thumb down to the sinew

Hey kid, You almost died? That sounds super scary and I'm really glad that you made it. Sucks that your dad didn't come and visit you.

What was the thing you were most looking forward to when finally coming out of there again?

Not all days are good days, but the people around you don't get to define who you are. I know it's hard sometimes but they have no right to it and even if they turn out to be giant assholes that doesn't mean you are worth less by any means. The fact that you're still here, still getting up again after reach hard blow means you're worth more than all of them together.

And honestly? There are great people out there. Don't give up. Same qualification as your peers, I'd hire the trans person every time. Bc I know you had to fight so much harder to get there.

And if you need some time away from wearing your grown up boots and just want to be small again for a time? That's so OK. We all need that sometimes. Come around here. We'll always find some time to listen to your stories and make you feel heard and appreciated as the amazing kid you are. Big hug from your dad for a minute ❤️

Love the idea. Don't even need to go after any personal wealth they have, just all the stocks. Chief exploitation manager leaving? Great. Get out. Take your Ferrari and your Villa. Keep it. But you get to stop exploiting people on the same day.

Thank you so much! This is excellent advice. Yeah the trees look a bit like an after thought and it was subconsciously the ne of the reasons I asked for critique I think. So either commit to them or take them out ✅
