I’m about to reblog this post with a cover of a book. The book’s title is Who Can Replace A Man. I want you to imagine a cover for that title, perhaps even a cover that answers the question of who in fact can replace a man. I’ll even help you out: it is a science fiction book. This will not really help you. There is truly no way you will be able to imagine this cover. But try anyway. It’ll be a fun experiment.
Who Can Replace A Man?

It’s amazing how much we can see ourselves in some of the other ape species and how much they likely see of themselves in us.
everyone in the comments going “haha two apes looking at a bug...”
bitch you’re looking too

I don’t know how many times this needs to be said but zionism isn’t “Jews vs. Muslims” it’s “Occupier and Occupied”.
lgbtunis
aside from how the “jews vs muslims” a. erases palestinian christians, druze and other religious groups b. makes it easier for zionists to claim every criticism of israel for you know, settler occupation, displacement, ongoing genocide, state terrorism and pretty much every war crime on the list is inherently antisemitic c. gives gentiles (who are “coincidentally” never palestinian) an excuse to be antisemitic (usually towards random innocent jews) as a way of “helping palestine” or “avenging palestinians” (it does neither)
theres this newer and ~woker~ version of this, “not all jews are zionists (but all zionists are jews”. is not only… misinformed and antisemitic but is often a distraction.
a good portion of violent antisemites, including neo-nazis, are zionists, because they want us gone. it didn’t work when they tried to kill us all, so getting us out of their sight is the best they can legally get.
it’s easier to say zionism is strictly “a jewish thing” than to examine how zionism feeds on antisemitism, and see the amount of governments that have and still do give and receive military assistance from israel. how the us has been complicit in genocide and war crimes alongside israel since it was founded? russia? chad? the philippines? bulgaria?
israel is collaborating and cuddling up with extreme right-winged European leaders. israel excuses and ignores violent antisemitism when it fits.
(people that are neither jewish nor palestinian are also encouraged to reblog)

"It is a full division of labor, one that you'll find in many forms of multicellular organisms all over the planet. But why? Why go through all of this? Well, there's a lot of possible answers. But one of the simplest answers is probably captured by this tardigrade idly grazing on algae, looking a bit more like a "water cow" than a "water bear" here. This Chlamydomonas algae does not stand a chance. But you know who does stand a chance? A pandorina. It's simply too large to get into the tardigrade's mouth. And in this moment, hundreds of millions of years of evolution--of cells dividing, of being held together through incomplete cytokinesis, of biologically defining front and back--all of that comes together to save this little guy's life."

Why do you say "do not repost" your art? Unless it's paysite material I mostly ignore that line. I mean, reblogs & re-tweets technically count as a art repost so that makes "do not repost" invalid. If you don't want your art out there don't post it to the internet. Not trying to come off as mean, that's just the mindset I have. Once you posts something to the internet... it's out there.
…… hm.
when i say “do not repost” i mean, do not:
- save my art to your computer
- reupload it to your own social media site, especially without credit
- exploit my my art so you can become more popular/get more attention/etc
reblogging/retweeting is not the same as reposting. those actually allow the artist to keep ownership of their own art as it gets spread around. they are different things.
it’s not that i don’t want my art to be on the internet. that’s why i post it. but i don’t want OTHER people taking credit for MY art and the hard work i put into it. i have a store where i sell my art. having people repost my art to their own sites literally takes money away from me. because people don’t know that I’M the artist who drew it, then they don’t know about my store, and instead consume my art mainly through websites that repost my art for their own amusement or profit.
do you know how many japanese artists have deleted their pixiv/twitter accounts because people kept reposting their art without permission, OR credit, and have even profited from stealing their work? so much art is floating out there without an owner because the japanese artists were harassed so much due to their art constantly being reposted without any credit to them, that they had to disappear from the internet just so they could keep ownership of the rest of their art.
do you know how many people found my art through pinterest? i’ve gotten so many messages from people saying they found my art there, and it took them anywhere from days to WEEKS to find me and my blog, because most, if not all of it was posted 1. without credit, or 2, without a link back to the original, because the pinterest user reuploaded it from their own computer.
do you know how many people try to apply for jobs with their art, but can’t seem to claim ownership of their own portfolio because it’s been so spread out and reposted everywhere on the internet, that companies can’t be sure that the person they’re interviewing is the actual artist themself?
i don’t think you understand just how detrimental reposting is to artists. and i don’t think you understand how important it is for people to respect artists’ wishes. my art is not yours to use for your own amusement. there is a reason why most websites have a dmca report option, to take down unauthorized use of their art. even the law recognizes it as a personal right.
i do want my art to be shown to the world, but under my own terms. i want my wishes in regards to my art to be respected. you are not doing me any favors by reposting my art onto other sites without permission or credit. just the opposite, in fact–your hurting me personally, financially, and possibly hurting my chances of earning a job with my art.
so in conclusion, here are the dangers of reposting:
- the artists loses ownership of their art
- no one knows who made it anymore, and don’t care
- the artists stop making art because all that happens is their art gets reposted without a source, and so they prefer to disappear off the internet entirely. the world has now just lost an amazing artist.
- people make a profit off their art, literally stealing money and potential customers from them, because no one knows where the art originated from
- they lose job opportunities because the reposting and art theft is so ubiquitous, that even if they are the original artist, no one can be sure of that.
etc.
reposting is detrimental. it’s not the same thing as reblogging/retweeting, it’s something that literally harms artists in the long run.
at the end of the day, the biggest way to prevent this from happening is by respecting the artist’s wishes with some basic human decency. that’s literally it.
i hope i’ve cleared some things up for you.
