I’m really in my quiet mom era and I love that for me 🫶🏽

@Court_St I meant to do this days ago!! Isn’t it gorgeous 🥹

Little known fact: I collect old books

Today I found a flawless 1959 Heritage Press illustrated copy of Dostoevsky’s “The Possessed”

Every page is so crisp it looks as if the book has never been read or opened

[The Divine Devises @DivineDevises]

Actually ONLY @lassxxiii is allowed to choose the photo. That is also going in my will 😭

[The Divine Devises @DivineDevises]

Whenever I die, my mom is NOT allowed to pick my obituary photo. I need to put that in my will somehow lol

[The Divine Devises @DivineDevises]

How many changes can you see? There’s a lot of OBVIOUS ones, but the subtle changes are my favorite

*still a WIP*

Things I’ve touched this week 🎨

The 1st is my most recent & the largest piece for my show in May. The 2nd an old one that I never completed, & the 3rd is a 2022 piece being reworked

Give me a day in the studio uninterrupted & I can do so much

[kalin. @kaycassoo]

Being an artist is a combination of really high highs and really low lows. It’s like this at every level.

i noticed women who know how to pivot and move tf on get judged the most when they have the most sense

Me, knowing I have an outrageous workload that I’m actively avoiding with a rapidly approaching deadline: “let me just text Eriq…”

[The Divine Devises @DivineDevises]

I have a professor who subtly but consistently describes my work as “disturbing”

There has to be a better way to address my work, especially considering my art rarely has disturbing content lol

“I just wanna make jam & build her things with my hands” 😭😭❤️

This isn't biblical, but it is ignorant & bigoted. Modern frameworks of sexual orientation didn't exist anciently. Intuitive aversions drove disapproval of same-sex intercourse but it was rationalized as different violations of a social hierarchy of domination & penetration.

[divine feminine 🥀 @Mama_Divine_]

Still can’t believe I made this with my own hands…

[The Divine Devises @DivineDevises]

Months of exhaustion, intaking more caffeine than food… running on E. Just to see these come together. It’s all worth it to see the vision start to come to life 💭

But if AI is inaccurately scanning an essay & saying it’s AI generated when it was actually written by a student, they risk failure and potential ramifications or expulsion. How is this being managed by professors

[The Divine Devises @DivineDevises]

Berg has been talking about all of the benefits of AI recently, but I personally see a lot of downfalls to it & inaccuracies. One example being how IG utilizes AI to flag inappropriate content, often incorrectly flagging art & negatively effecting artists

[The Divine Devises @DivineDevises]

It also made me realize how potentially damaging that could be to students. I know that a lot of students are using AI to avoid doing their own work on papers, so professors are utilizing AI themselves to evaluate work so they can gauge if students are cheating using AI
