Cara Together Day 1: Hug

Ok this one is going to need a bit of context.

Cara, a social media designed by artists for artists, has recently been scraped three times. Cara was made for artists to feel safe from AI scraping and AI generated images. 

As a way for the community to come together, the creator of Cara has encouraged people to participate in Cara Together, a 30 day challenge for the month of September to bring awareness to the scraping issue. I'm combining this with Sketchtember, hence the pencil sketchy look.

On top of that, Cara's creator is also seeking legal action against two of the three scrapers, and needs help from the art community. If you can, please consider donating to the gofundme. If not, just spreading awareness of this issue can help fight against the lack of consent artists have with AI. Or join Cara. It's a cool community.

If you're wondering why legal action is being taken against only two of the scrapers, the first one has since apologized and deleted the data. They are also working with Cara's team to help strengthen the platform against future scrapes.

Hopefully this wasn't too preachy. This has been an issue on other platforms, and Cara is meant to protect artists from this crap. Plus, it's a fun challenge.
