Look around you for artists making things with meaning. Here's what I make under my author hat and an imprint. Just like you likely don't go designer only (or ever) when you shop, look outside of bookstores and traditional publishing and find literature that's not part of the conveyor belt.

Going to museums is good. Did you know there is a Museum of Sex? If you live in NYC or Miami, maybe yes.
(And they also host a shop on main floor with sex-positive staff).
Returning for a new exhibit on view, Utopia, this time with the zine I made from the first experience.

In terms of what’s understood to be socially acceptable behavior, normalizing the filming/taking pictures of people in public who are minding their own business (and putting it online) is one of the worst developments of the past 15 years.

For any of you artists out there who are at a loss with the way things are going right now, just remember Mr. Rogers' words of wisdom.
I think, more than ever, these words from Mr. Rogers hold as true as the day he spoke them.

An out-of-this-world zine for the times. I dive deep into non human intelligence theories out there so you don't have to fall down into any ol' rabbit hole: you can view from a safe distance and decide which one, if any, you want to get sucked into.

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing.
And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

absolutely, and not only in presentations - it makes me wonder about articles and opinion pieces too.
I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.
