I will every day read a novel with a cover sketched out by an author regardless of skill over a novel with an ai cover. I actually will never ever read a novel with an ai cover. I don't care how good it is. you have diminished yourself completely in my eyes by using it and there is no coming back 🫡

Need free Wi-Fi?
Need a free meeting room?
Need a friendly face to welcome you?

Go to your local library!

"keep your mental illness to yourself lol nobody needs to know about that" sounds a lot like keep your sexuality to yourself. being open about bipolar/psychosis has improved my well-being considerably. it's made me healthier bc it gave me a pathway towards self-acceptance and advocacy/meaningfulness

Quick digital sketch of my OCs Aditya and Jacek. Aditya is a werewolf who can shift into a wolf whenever he desires, and Jacek is a vampire who can turn into a horse.

A moody digital sketch of a beautiful Indian man tenderly embracing a black horse. They seem relieved but sad, as though having just survived a shared tragedy. They seek comfort in each other's silent presence.
