you are loved
you are so much more powerful than the ghouls using your healthcare as a political pawn, and you WILL outlive them (they know this, and it is why they're attacking you)

I've made it a personal goal to stop using the term "content" when referring to media made by artists. The word implies mass-produced filler and calling someone's hard work their "content" has started to feel kinda like an insult. Like human art made strictly for quick consumption
the enthusiasm for generative AI would not have been possible without prior decades of capitalist conditioning to view works of art as products, rather than acts of culture and shared human life
I think the fundamental gap here is that non-creative people think that creative people make things for the end product, when in fact it’s the act of creation and not the end point that makes it worthwhile.

How about everyone cancel their subscriptions like they did when Kimmel was removed from his late night show? It would probably make a difference like last time.

The Witch Boy series quite literally changed my life, as it was the final crack in my eggshell as a trans woman. Ostertag's work gets my HIGHEST recommendation.

Share your knowledge if/when you can. Teaching other people how to do what you do doesn’t lessen your art - it just means more and better art for everyone.
I appreciate when people are willing to tell me about their brushes, how they study, etc… I want to put that back out into the world.

California Governor Gavin Newsom said on Thursday that the Democratic Party needed to be “more culturally normal” and “less judgmental.”

every one of Emerald Fennel's films is like: a collection of deeply compelling tropes and concepts, executed by good actors, expensive needle drops, and a very talented crew, and then rendered utterly inane by the script and direction

I listen to NYT's the Daily podcast because I want to keep an eye on what, like, my parents are hearing from the news. Today's episode topic is 'the president called Somali-Americans garbage....but let's be honest, did they deserve it?' Wild stuff.
