It's wild to me seeing furries of all people willfully dismiss and/or disregard artists' copyrights when it comes to print material.
The number of comics artists I've heard express frustration and hurt after they had to stop making their work b/c people scanned it instead of paying $4 is not small.

Red Ogre (@ogre.red) gets rights to your work upon *submission*.
And those rights are ridiculous. They can change your work, not credit you, use your work for advertising, or put it in an anthology.
Don't submit to this one, folks.

Yes, I've been quiet, but that doesn't mean I've been idle. Here's an update on the state of my writing, including my first novel: Beasts & Brutality.

Those of us who use #ApplePages got a nasty surprise today in the form of "Creator Studio," a transparent #AI cash grab that now hangs over Pages, Numbers, and Keynote like a foul odor.

Some 💩💼 stole my business debit card. They used it to pay for an AI note taking service. (I don't use those.) They overdrafted my account because it's only for inbound payments.
My bank reversed the charge. I'm trying to remember if I *ever* saw this card.
Now I hate AI for one more reason.

I'm a huge fan of this series and would love to see a reboot!
Could Blake's 7 return? Can a reboot really capture the crunchy special effects of the late '70s? Will an eyepatch still be made out of duct tape??

Sitting a stewing in frustration isn't nearly as cathartic as just designing a poster. Let's see how often I remember that in 2026.

Regarding AI on Kindle, here's an article about it.
It's currently only on the Kindle iOS app. It'll be in the Android app and Kindle devices next year.
Amazon has said authors and publishers have no opt out option.
I expect there will be lawsuits about it so that timeframe may change.
