This is still seriously upsetting me.
When young kids are creating it is pure imagination and play and exploration without rules or expectations.
To convert their artwork is robbing them of joy and discovery. It’s telling them that they aren’t good enough, that what they create is worthless.

if you know kids who want to make comics, show them The Cartoonists' Club by @scottmccloud.bsky.social and @goraina.bsky.social. instead of taking away their confidence, teach them to find it in themselves. instead of teaching them that they aren't inherently good enough, teach them that they ARE

Sleep, actually get 6+ hours of sleep. THEN! I'd have the energy and more time to devote to do something I enjoy that I don't get to do enough of, like drawing and writing. Gosh so many things if I didn't have to spend my life commuting and just making other people wealthier.
Honest question: If everyone got Universal Basic Income, no strings attached, what would YOU do with it?

I’ve seen a few folks go for the “if you simply must watch that new Harry Potter show just pirate it” and sorry. No. Just no. Just don’t watch it. At all. Ever. Break free of it. It’s time. You’ll be ok. I promise. I know it mattered to you as a kid. Find new things, it’s healthier. Just move on.

Using the notwithstanding clause to smash teacher's labour rights is fucking insane.
It was never supposed to be used like this.
In no world should the notwithstanding clause be used to subvert worker's rights to withdraw their labour during negotiations.
