We sadly know Zoe Weissman because of Parkland. In fact, our families are so close, that she has been there for my wife and I after Parkland and helped with our foundation Orange Ribbons For Jaime.
America, are you ok with this?

I love paying human artists and I hate gen AI 🩵
I'm not here to fight about whether or not AI is ethical (I've made my decision and I doubt I'm gonna change yours.) I'm just here to talk about what I and many other artists have been dealing with as we adjust to a new media landscape.

Check out their work if you want to get some art of your own and want to support a flesh-and-blood artist and not a computer.
I recently had a piece of art commissioned for a D&D character of mine (Andiron Rall, half-orc rogue/soulknife). The artist is just starting to really push their commission art business, so I promised to spread their name. arcanesatelier.carrd.co

One of the helpfullest pieces of wisdom I ever picked up is if you want to know what someone is capable of, look to what they accuse others of doing.
Austin Smith, a former Republican state representative and onetime leader within Turning Point Action—the political arm of Turning Point USA—pleaded guilty to forging signatures on nominating petitions for his 2024 reelection bid.

Remember: don't eat the mid tier fast food chicken, don't play the wizard game, don't shop at the hobby store run by the bad guys from Indiana Jones, and don't donate to the bigot bucket.
I know it's a tad early but I know those bitches with the buckets will be out soon. Don't gove them a penny. The volunteers may not know but the salvation army is no ally and actively combative and harmful to many queer minorities especially during the holiday season
