“People always say that I didn’t give up my seat because I was tired but that isn’t true. I was not tired physically… No, the only tired I was, was tired of giving in.”

#OnThisDay, 1 Dec 1955, Rosa Parks does not give up her seat on the bus for a white passenger, and is arrested. Although not the first black woman to be arrested Parks' refusal is a key moment in the American civil rights movement.

Another pair inspired by @LeviKornelsen, also using a single added phrase: "in front of stained glass." The MidJourney v4 prompt text is mine, based on descriptions Mr. Kornelsen gave his processed images.

I hope readers appreciate how much effort I've been putting into the descriptions for these images!

I find myself intrigued more and more by what just one added phrase can do to AI-generated art. In this case, the phrase is "in front of stained glass," and this entire series was inspired by @LeviKornelsen

As usual, these were generated with the MidJourney v4 model, and the complete prompt text is in the image description.

Try saying these without sounding sarcastic:

1. That's great
2. Good for you
3. Have fun
4. Fascinating
5. Thanks for that
6. Well done you
7. Good luck with that
8. Sounds thrilling
9. What a shame
10. Wow

About time I did an #introduction post...

I write stories. I create images. I am looking to join those two passions and create a film.

I am fighting cynicism and my own ego-driven fantasies of how the world works in order to somehow gain a clear view of reality.

Every day I doubt a little more that this is at all possible.

IF I COULD TELL YOU ONE THING:

Everything is going to be okay. You are worthy. You can't do it wrong.

One day at a time.

Everything is going to be okay.

When generating art with MidJourney, one of my favorite things to put in a prompt is "magic hour." Here are some results with and without that phrase; see if you agree!

In both cases, this is MidJourney v4, and the only addition to the prompts was ", magic hour"

Picking up tacos at Rusty Taco, there are signs about tacos, natch. The t-shirts worn by employees carry a restaurant slogan: “God. Country. Tacos.” I’m not entirely sure how they square those priorities with repurposing Joshua 24:15 into Salsa 24:7, which seems mildly sacrilegious to me, but the tacos are good.

My daughter wants beef tacos for lunch, so I asked MidJourney for help.

The "beef tacos" are almost normal, but the "beef soft tacos" have unusual titles add for no obvious reason, and definitely no benefit.

Today I tried a few new prompts, no refinements, just simple phrases. These are from MidJourney, and my settings are: MJ version 4, Base quality, Style med, Regular upscale.

The v4 model often seems to add titles where none are needed or wanted, but overall I found all eight images pleasing. The waterfront pics don't look like Hong Kong at all, but they're all nice-looking waterfronts. The night market pics look more like Hong Kong, except all the Chinese writing is broken.

In this context, it is in no way surprising that #BlackMastodon has repeatedly been rebuffed and destroyed by the rest of Mastodon. Whether by a concerted effort by everyone, or the bad actions of a few, allowed to happen and enabled to persist by the rest of us, the result is inevitably the same.

This is why I keep saying: it is not enough for you to just be okay with #justice. It is not enough for you to tolerate marginalized people. If you truly want diversity, you must fight for it. 4/4

I kinda love when non-bird people only use the male coloration of birds in their designs and unknowingly give us decorations featuring gay birds.
