Penta-Slam has been getting a lot more views than I initially expected, and I REALLY want to thank you all for taking the time to read and spread the word of this series. It means a great deal to me, especially when I only expected like five people to be reading this lol.

The 'Stop CSAM Act of 2025' has had its govtrack likelihood t
[to be enacted] drop from from 56% down to 46%!

Keep calling your representatives in both the house and senate and hammer how this is a surveillance/anti-encryption bill under the guise of "protecting children". Tell them to OPPOSE!

STOP CSAM Act of 2025 (S. 1829)

A bill to combat the sexual exploitation of children by supporting victims and promoting accountability and transparency by the tech industry.

Fuck me this is bleak.
But please, do continue to use GenAI slop thumbnails for your YouTube videos, or your album art, or your book covers or whatever else. I'll continue to refuse to watch/listen/read any of them, knowing already they're not worth the time & that you're a disappointing lazy hack.

‘Children's book illustrator isn't a job anymore.’
I've been out of work for a while now. I made children's book illustrations, stock art, and took various art commissions.

Now I have several maxed out credit cards and use a donation bin for food. I haven't had a steady contract in over a year. two weeks ago, when a client who has switched to AI found out about this he gave me $50 out of "a sense of guilt." Basically pity for the fact that Illustrator, as a job, does not exist anymore.

It was my birthday recently and I sincerely considered not living anymore.
The worst part of all is that the parents who once supported me fully in being an artist sent me an AI generated picture of a caricature of themselves holding a birthday cake with my name spelled incorrectly.

Vance doesn’t have the weird bravado or charisma that trump has, so people aren’t going to to bend over for him like they do for trump
