📸 Meta Post Image: Community Aid Network 🎞️
This month’s meta image is another Story Seed Library banger, ‘Community Aid Network’ created by Daniele Turturici (CC BY-SA 4.0).
“A united, compassionate, and resilient community comes together in times of crisis. A coordinated network of volunteers provides rescue efforts, medical assistance, and warm meals to people displaced by an environmental disaster. Everyone can contribute, even those without specialized training. While it is wise not to rely entirely on technology, it can also play a crucial role in managing critical situations by streamlining both physical operations and organizational efforts, helping communities respond more effectively when every moment counts. But that’s not all. Emotional support is just as important. When people feel safe, protected, and supported by their community, they are more willing to give back and help others in return, creating a positive cycle that benefits everyone.”
As a fun bonus, there’s also a coloring book version of the image! :)

⬛ Union Resources 🟥
These are unions from around the world who can train you to become an effective organizer to form a grassroots union with your co-workers!
Dang I thought it was AI too, it has that vibe at first glance. But you’re right, if you look at the details it is pretty clearly not.
The artist also made an uncolored version with only the line-art visible, which I don’t think an AI would be able to reliably produce and then color in with such accuracy.
I added red lines where some of the cables cross behind others. This is the work of an artist who gives a shit about his craft.
yeah, that alone tells me it’s real. i’ma block this guy because he’s being super fucking weird about it.
peeping moderation history… OH BROTHER, THIS GUY STINKS!!
Having human-made content called AI generated is more disheartening to artists than seeing actual AI slop. It tells you the battle will never be won.
yeah, exactly. and it’s done in a way makes it feel like a large-scale gaslighting campaign. “the fake thing is real but the real thing is fake”.
I’ll defend any statement I’ve ever made.
You can generate the linework and do the coloring separately so that’s not a sound argument.
