My autistic self, who's been a top listener of @dessadarling on spotify for several years in a row and uses music to process emotions: man why am I so aggressively confident and also feel like I'm about to cry all the time

@mcfrsPIO what's happening at Clarksburg High School??

[Ari Harris is considering it pure joy @AriHarris7]

@WhatItDoDave hey man, I will literally pay you to react to this absolutely mind blowing set: https://t.co/S2m2Cxomg4

I guarantee 1) you'll love it and 2) it'll be unlike anything you've heard

There are bills you can help pay directly. If you're willing to help there, please message me.

[Ari Harris is considering it pure joy @AriHarris7]

Friends, I hate to do this again. But I just got paid, & automatic bill payments have already overdrawn my account. I'm looking at our water getting shut off before our next pay, and I haven't gotten groceries for this week yet. Any help would mean a lot. My venmo is @ PastorAri

Me listening to every song on the new @dessadarling album:

No wait THIS is my new favorite song

[Ari Harris is considering it pure joy @AriHarris7]

Well, @dessadarling has done what @CNN and @jaketapper have consistently failed to do: spelled "lede" correctly. #burythelede

@BahamutGoBrr @Cor_Bagguet @blurofblue07 @Konpeimimi @Beami_12 Funny. I actually agree. I'd be more than happy to clarify my original statement if anyone is actually interested in understanding.

[Ari Harris is considering it pure joy @AriHarris7]

A very good example of how quick people are to decide that you're wrong—it doesn't actually matter what you say, they'll misread it if they have to.

@AriHarris7 @BahamutGoBrr @Cor_Bagguet @blurofblue07 @Konpeimimi @Beami_12 Two years? Good for you. You know how long it takes? DECADES. It takes DECADES of practice and love to become good at the craft. So you’re just lazy.

[Ari Harris is considering it pure joy @AriHarris7]

@Linzzytiger @Cor_Bagguet @blurofblue07 @Konpeimimi @Beami_12 I'm sorry you feel the need to insult me without knowing anything about me. I hope you have a good day.

[Ari Harris is considering it pure joy @AriHarris7]

@MaruketaS @Cor_Bagguet @blurofblue07 @Konpeimimi @Beami_12 As I've said to numerous people, I've spent nearly two decades practicing and trying to improve my artistic ability. And I'm still practicing and improving. I didn't just try it once and go "well I suck" and move on.

My comment was about emotion, not talent.

[Ari Harris is considering it pure joy @AriHarris7]

@TerraCat4 @Cor_Bagguet @blurofblue07 @Konpeimimi @Beami_12 Hey! Thanks for not immediately attacking me!

I agree. I use it strictly for personal use, and I still try to commission art whenever it's financially feasible to do so.

[Ari Harris is considering it pure joy @AriHarris7]

@Linzzytiger @BahamutGoBrr @Cor_Bagguet @blurofblue07 @Konpeimimi @Beami_12 Also, for the record: I still practice. I still learn. I still study & practice different techniques & methods.

My original reply wasn't about that. It was pushing back against the idea that AI-generated images are emotionless. But I know nuance isn't a hot commodity here.

@Linzzytiger @BahamutGoBrr @Cor_Bagguet @blurofblue07 @Konpeimimi @Beami_12 Here, I'll make it easier for you:

@BahamutGoBrr @BloodyArtifact @Cor_Bagguet @blurofblue07 @Konpeimimi @Beami_12 I could say the same about you! No matter how I try to explain, you've already made up your mind about me based on a misunderstanding of what I wrote. Despite that, I genuinely I hope you have a wonderful day as well.

[Ari Harris is considering it pure joy @AriHarris7]

@BahamutGoBrr @BloodyArtifact @Cor_Bagguet @blurofblue07 @Konpeimimi @Beami_12 Even more, my reply was to someone who said they don't "feel anything" looking at AI art. I was giving a different perspective. That's it. That's all. But cool, cool, let's all make assumptions based on zero knowledge of the person we're talking to.

[Ari Harris is considering it pure joy @AriHarris7]

@BahamutGoBrr @BloodyArtifact @Cor_Bagguet @blurofblue07 @Konpeimimi @Beami_12 And now we're assuming that I don't put in the effort. guess practicing regularly for nearly two decades isn't practice. Literally all I said is AI generators have helped me convey emotions that I would have otherwise been unable to express. And now I'm lazy & have given up? K.
