A white three-floor building on the corner of a cobbled street, with white wooden shuttered windows that have short black iron railings in front of them. The front of the lower floor that opens onto the street is wood-faced, with some chairs and potted lants outside, and a bike leaning against the corner.

A feminine figure in a simple, loose white dress with long brown hair hanging in plaits over each shoulder, her arms up cradling a posy of delicate white flowers. Her face is in focus as she looks a the camera, the outside of the image blurred with a hint of movement.

A wooden barn in a grassy field in low golden light, bare trees all around and a warm orange haze filtering through mist on the left.

Peachy-purple and white striped jellyfish against a blue background, colliding into each other, a sea of curling fronds.

Re. Meta scraping copyrighted content on millions of websites, including fedi instances, to train it's AI:

https://www.dropsitenews.com/p/meta-facebook-tech-copyright-privacy-whistleblower

While mastodon.art blocks a bunch of crawlers and domains (including Meta) both at an IP level and in our robots.txt , and our instance domain isn't in the above list, unfortunately cdn.masto.host IS in the list. As we're hosted with masto.host, this is where all media uploaded to our instance is stored, and thus has been part of Meta's scraping :(

A reminder that we don't tolerate ableism - including intellectual ableism - on this instance. This includes making fun of or denigrating people who may present as having a 'low IQ', and using words historically used to describe or refer to people with mental health disorders, learning disabilities, etc. and which are now considered slurs.

IQ is a tool of white supremacy, ableism is a tool of white supremacy. Do better.

A fem figure dressed in floaty white layers and with one long braid of dark hair over their shoulder, standing on the edge of a pool against a wall, reaching up to the huge leaves of a plant growing overhead. They're standing in dappled sunlight.

The facade of a quaint little photoshop called fotographia, in a cobbled street at night. The wall of the building is yellow and the features are all painted bottle green. There are terracotta pots with pink flowers either side of the entrance, and lit displays with photographs in them on the walls.

A meadow of pink and white wildflowers in the foreground leads back to some hedgerows, and beyond, in the distance, a cityscape against a hazy sky.

A masc figure sits on a wooden chair in a field, in front of an easel, with a paint palette in their lap. They're wearing black with a black peaked cap. The sky behind them is pastel orange.

Stacks and rows of woven baskets, all with different patterned fabric borders around the openings, in browns and blues

A ground level shot across a puddle of water looking towards some houses at the end of a road, with a rocky mountain rising behind. The mountain is reflected in the water.

An overgrown gravel track leading towards a two story house that's nestled between some trees, with a hillside beyond. There's a person in a long blue dress and straw hat walking away from the camera towards the house.

A person in a dark green pointy witch hat with a black veil sitting on a wooden bench next to an assortment of pumpkins, with a red brick wall and an old wooden window frame covered in cobwebs behind. The wall has some halloween decorations. The person has long blonde hair that's just visible under the wide brim of the hat, and they're wearing a black top.
