So a free tool called GLAZE has been developed that allows artists to cloak their artwork so it can't be mimicked by AI art tools.

AI art bros are big mad about it.

im going to complain for a sec about something arbitrary but as expected ppl rbing the news abt greece legalising gay marriage and adoption are being so unfunny abt it like "haha werent they always gay since ancient times" or "nice to see greece embracing tradition" straight up saw multiple people make references to aphrodite or the greek gods like can u shut up 😭 its not even funny you dont know anything abt this country

Dear Tumblr, come read about ancient lesbians! This is a free anthology of Ancient Greek and Latin works by/about wlw (translated into English), and it’s the first sourcebook specifically dedicated to wlw!

The translations and commentaries are done by queer scholars, but it’s inclusive toward a non-scholarly audience. And the project director hopes that “new creations, texts, films, video, may emerge […] and contribute to forging a new LGBTQI+ mythology that would - finally - not be based on shortcuts and reductive views about women in ancient society” (issue 1 p. 6).

So please come check it out and then make a bunch of art or stories about it (and show us!)

sorry i know i've complained about this a lot but if there was One thing i wish people on here would grasp wrt roman approaches to mythology. is the centuries and centuries of italian mythic tradition & transmission that existed here. like a lot of these myths were being told & transformed & developed local version before rome even existed. these guys were trading materials & traditions with the greeks since like the bronze age. a person in rome might of have heard a lot of these stories as a kid from their grandmother who heart it from her grandmother, who heard it from hers etc etc. they were living changing myths in italy! with their own variations even! so a roman author, while they DO extensively use greek literature, is nevertheless working off something that is a deeply embedded part of their culture too. to act like these ideas were just transplanted directly from 5th century athens to 1st century rome, and especially as if greece had the oral tradition while rome was purely literary, is silly

February 14th, Valentine’s Day: Corporate. Social pressure to Spend Money or else you don’t love your partner. Excludes single people. Exploits agricultural workers for chocolate. Every restaurant is crowded and every card in the grocery store aisle sucks.

February 15th, Lupercalia: Community-driven. Free. Inclusive. Worker-friendly. Ecologically sustainable. Naked priests run around chasing people with whips.
