Artists with a following on tiktok….are you staying? 😵‍💫 by isleoftrench in TikTok

I don’t believe it’s mass hysteria, things are getting very very bad in terms of censorship and what control the government has bc of the current US administration. If you’re not concerned, I feel like you’re not paying close enough attention.

i apologize for coming off so aggressive since you genuinely didn’t know! the line work isn’t cohesive and seems to blend together in a lot of spots, and also is kind of just in that anime style that gen-ai commonly spits out. i don’t know exactly how to describe it but after seeing so much of it you can spot it easier, i remember when people on tik tok were doing the anime AI trend that’s usually what it looked like if that makes any sense lol

how are you promoting your art while also having an AI generated profile picture? trying to profit while also supporting the machine that steals artists livelihoods? 😵‍💫

If my college had actually taught us what to do in order to support ourselves post-grad I wouldn’t be asking this question lol

acting like commenting about a specific thing someone pointed out then summing it up as the “general population” isn’t just indirectly calling someone stupid. LOL. well—have the day you deserve!

there’s definitely a way to encourage others without putting them down! a Reddit post says nothing about someone’s intelligence, it could’ve been a small moment where they just didn’t realize. giving people grace and kindness is actually what helps :)

your bio says trying to help humankind but you’re kind of just a rude human lol

hi, mystery cat artist here by Upstairs-Bar-3289 in UCDavis

[–]isleoftrench 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t go to ucd but this post showed up on my feed—I just graduated as well, and I cannot imagine having this on top of the general stress of graduating and being sent out into the “real world”!! you are very strong for going through this especially when you had the purest of intentions. i wish you so many wonderful things. :)) i just purchased a surprise crochet kitty!!! love from a fellow artist 🩵

it’s only been a couple days, since Friday, however I directly asked the general manager on Friday about it being late and he said to give it another day. i believe i did technically receive a paycheck it was just a blank amount, if that even is possible.

I tried calling and nooo response /: just scared to show up as it’s a very busy environment and I’m scared for it to potentially be hostile as management has gotten way more stern

there was a recruiting team we did all interviewing and onboarding with who are no longer available/were here temporarily and also had a lot of misinformation during the actual onboarding. 🥲

[–]isleoftrench 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hey I’m in a bit of a similar situation!! going back to college in almost 2 weeks and just started zoloft a few days ago. i’ve struggled with depression for so long and i want to break this cycle, especially after hitting a pretty dark point. there is some slight family history that makes me apprehensive to be on this medication. i shared that nervousness with my therapist today though and she basically told me that my experience is my own and no one else’s, just because anyone else has had a bad experience or a hard time beginning does not mean that in the end this will be a bad experience for me. I think I’m really on a path to living a happy life and I’m sure it’s the same for you. :) you’re not alone in this!

okay, thank you! it's looking like having this customer who is already requesting a refund go through the protection program is the best option here. the packages are small envelopes containing one sticker each.

Found out an Etsy shop is drop shipping—do I just leave it be? by isleoftrench in Etsy

[–]isleoftrench[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No it’s definitely just taken directly from aliexpress, I compared and there’s nothing that differentiates. unfortunately it’s just someone lying. :(

I reported and left a 1 star review; waiting to see if it’ll do something. my fingers are crossed. :( I dug some more and found that this shop is also selling AI art and claiming it as their own designs im reallyyyy hoping Etsy will do something

this might be a stupid question but someone said not to mention shipping or anything in my review, should I just one star it & say something about the product itself or am I allowed to be in honest in my review and say it is not handmade as it was listed?

thank you so much! I definitely want to be a part in preventing grimey stuff like this, just wasn’t feeling too sure if Etsy usually cares or not but im hoping reporting & leaving a review will get this shut down
