 Hello, I am a great artist of the modern day. I refuse to provide my work to
 any revolution that does not work together, if only as familiar forces working
 in tandem for the betterment of humankind's work and world.

 sometimes I think performing my art was just an excuse to use Linux. At least,
 some of my art.
 
 But hey, I'm not complaining, it's awesome.

 perhaps that "light touch on reality" is what makes these pieces of art
 resonate with me. I think you're beautiful and have a good heart.

 Hello, I am a witch and this is my altar.
 
 Here, I dream of a green USA.
 
 covered by the branches,
 my body decays into parts,
 ready to join the next life that needs me.
 
 [read the alt-text on the pictures, or listen to your screenreader for more
 explanation]
a round planter pot with a dead plant growing out of it. At it's feet there are sticks I found outside that are covered in moss - the moss is dehydrated, and so brown and dusty. Sticking out of the pot is a flag of my homeland, and behind it there is a fog covered windowpane. In addition, my cat watches from behind, asking me to open the door for her so she can go out on the porch and freeze for a bit before begging to be let back in. She just wanted to see the cold, I suspect. close up picture of the thirsty moss. There is a small glass jar partly filled with water - I add a bit more whenever I pray, from my water bottle. As it evaporates from the jar, it makes the world just a bit more humid, and better for moss to grow in.  there are leaves and detritus in the planter pot as well, to simulate a forest floor covered in soil. I've sprayed the moss with water, and it awakens and spreads it's arms in exultation. The light from the window behind it gives power to it's ever-beckoning grasp, as it sucks carbon from the atmosphere to build itself as a structure that fights back against disorder. Consuming naught but light, water, and air, it grows forever without a care, and tomorrow our world is more beautiful.

 Yep. I am not concerned though, because of that map I shared. Whosoever shall
 draw the sword (of the people's will) shall be the righteous leader of US
 
 We can build a world where democracy flourishes and we don't need to remain
 vigilant. It is within our power.
 
 And we shall. I have faith.

 hello, I am an ant if @, but you can't touch me, because I am a law abiding
 citizen.
 
 I have to be, for I am loud.
 
 ... okay I stole a movie from the internet at least once.
 
 also when I was 11 I walked out of a store with a keychain in my pocket. I
 thought it had a nice texture so I was examining it and then my mom distracted
 me and somehow it ended up in my pocket. That night will forever haunt me...
 She wouldn't let me take it back...

 when people ask what I do I don't say "art" because I'd do that anyway.
 
 my art is precious to me, because it is the most "me" I can conceive.
 
 and like... I can carry it with me to the future.
 
 I have only once given away one of my journals, and it was a wedding present
 to a witch or two.
 
 so yeah I'm an artist, but I'm also whatever you need me to do.
 
 and yes, I of course hope that what you need me to do is what I can do.
 
 because I can't do much more than this.
 
 But I can show up every once in a while,
 
 and maybe make you smile or consider,
 
 and maybe I can ride past on my bike.
 
 but that's the human in me, telling me it's time to move with my feet, and I
 can do little but listen.
 
 ... that should make doxxing me a bit easier. have it it : )

 If you're radical enough to consider yourself "antifa" then you are probably
 working as hard as you can. I wouldn't ask you to do more.
 
 We must demand that others work for our future as well. It is unreasonable to
 demand so much of us. We must be funded and supported if we are to mobilize,
 and we must have the freedom to move and organize if we are to contest our
 enemies.

 "oh but what if one artist has 1500 works and another has 15"
 
 first of all, damn, good job. That's a lot of work.
 
 second of all, what you should be doing is making a simple thing called a
 STRUCT that stores DATA about each artist which lets you make decisions about
 how to distribute dollars. The artist with 15 pieces simply has fewer data
 points than the artist with 1500, but they are no less deserving of
 compensation for their work when the AI generates something in their style, or
 using their style as an inspiration.
 
 "oh but just because a piece is similar to another piece doesn't mean the
 first piece used the second piece as inspiration"
 
 I don't care. It's not meant to be a perfect solution. I'm sure there's
 problems with it, just like there are problems with anything that I, or anyone
 else, has ever suggested at any point in time while living on this earth or
 beyond. But it gets dollars into the hands of artists and I'm okay with that.

I can't describe it, I'm sorry. It's too long. Ask someone to copy / paste it to you so you can read it in your own way.  It's a picture of a fediverse post where I go on a long rant. However it's far too long to post in one post, it goes several thousand characters over! In addition, there are notes added on the side from the assumed creator of the document, titled: stay-with-me.png  Here are some samples:

 why would they psyop me? there's a psyop about me! heck, I've never done so as
 I pleased. that's an aspiration. everything I do is at a command, whether it's
 my own or external.
 
 these days I find myself following my own. mostly. though I am always waiting
 for collaboration opportunities.
