Manifesto Time

Our expertise and credibility as artists would be directly undermined by the use of generative AI within our works. Nowhere is this more apparent or important than in the digital arts, including but not limited to, digital illustration and creative writing.

Generative art isn't art.

ya also misspelled current but you cooked with this one Greg 😁
curent working theory: precise thinking, intention, and expression and clarity despite typos often characterize human writing

while grammatically correct but painfully tedious, pointless, repetitious blathering often characterize LLM output

Jumanji's a video game now, right?

You've got the kids getting sucked in and everything. And Jumanji used to be a board game, and that was just floating around the world.

You know what's ready to turn into a video game next?

I feel like when people realize that they don't have to contribute to society for validation, they either become beautiful souls or total jackasses.

"You DARE pick up the bird messiah?!?!"
My husband, Rob, is away visiting his uncle in Herefordshire. They'd just finished watching the Rugby when this beautiful young Sparrow Hawk flew in through the open front door, and into the living room. Rob managed to pick him up and take him outside again... but just look at those eyes! #birds

The other day, I discovered that I have VISCERAL, straight-up FERAL reactions when somebody proposes the franchise "Jurassic Universe."

I was in Philly this weekend, and let me tell you, Independence Day celebrations felt pretty muted here too.

Couple of other factors in play, certainly. Union strike. Fires.

But "America's Birthplace" certainly didn't see anything worth celebrating. And I think more of us need to say it out loud.

This is all purposeful by the Trump regime. They do not want women, BIPOC or queer people to ever be able to move above the servant/slave class ever again. And it furthers their eugenics goals to kill off more poor Americans.
My FYP is video after video of pre-med students explaining how the big bill’s student loan cap will make it impossible for them to afford med school. Experts were already predicting a doctor shortage to the tune of 86k by 2036. This will make it exponentially worst. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8hFxfBL/
The government just ended my ability to even apply to medical school, it’s no longer an option because private student loans would lead to absolute financial ruin. All of my work for the past 5-8 year...

As a queer writer and creator, every win is something I have to claw for.

Very happy today. Whiskey Dogs cracked the top 1000 in LGBTQ+ Fantasy.

Today @njaij.bsky.social and the People’s Organization for Progress (www.popnj.org) anchored a NO KINGS March in Newark, New Jersey.

Hundreds showed out in protest on this national day of defiance. No thrones! No Kings!

The great @rasjbaraka.bsky.social, mayor of Newark, speaks at the Newark #NoKings rally in the rain. This is the man who was arrested by ICE at the Delaney Hall detention facility.

He spoke about the need for ALL of us to stand up for ALL of us.

It’s 106 miles to Kamigawa, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it’s dark, and we’re wearing sunglasses.

Its 2025, who would thought that we in would be facing the wrath of the wealthy elite who own & control the WH, Congress & USSC because they refuse to pay their fair in taxes & provide a haven for anyone who's facing persecution, hunger or death because of their color of their skin or religion.
