If, like me, you don't know what a skelebob is. I can now inform you that it is in fact Northern England slang for a skeleton.
You're welcome.
You're welcome.
Converting some more skelebobs, get some interesting half way stage ones 😄

Got a bit carried away with a doodle in my daybook/bullet journal thing. It is adding an uncomfortable level of pressure to everything else on the page. But it turning out as nicely as it did prompts me to poke at this theme for a set of paintings. Sepia pigment pen + watercolor +white gouache.

A thread on the harms of AI in its current form, and the lack of legislative control over its implementations.
Whenever I repost this, it's because another post has been added. The thread is long.

I see so many #ActuallyAutistic support pages, groups, etc diving enthusiastically & headfirst into using AI for banners, infographics etc. I ask you please to reconsider. The environmental impacts & ethical concerns are not worth the tradeoff. Do some research. It's easy and fun, but it's not good.
