Discworld QOTD, from Equal Rites
Good night my friends.
Remember there is joy to be found in family, but that you do not have to tolerate or welcome anyone into your life that you do not want to.
Protect your joy, find your family of choice, and you will find a strength you never thought possible.
I love you all.

Excellent @startribune.com story! Police/agents also used less lethal munitions hitting the public and journalists.
Activist Geoffrey Paquette "said one officer activated a smoke canister that hit him in the face." Another shot OC into his eyes.

Ughhh I wish I’d done this the past 15 years 😭
Just a gentle reminder to save PDFs of the work you published this year especially in digital publications because you could look up one day and find that that pub doesn’t exist anymore and isn’t archived anywhere and is just gone
Ask me how I know!

Using “looks almost final” placeholders will also force your project in a more generic direction. Non-artists will get attached to the generic slop placeholder and if you try to exchange it with something more interesting they’ll say it feels bad and force you back to the generic option.
Stop using AI for placeholder assets.
Use sketches. Use lorem ipsum. Use bright pink materials. Use programmer art for fucks sake, literally anything else.
If your studio is using AI even for temp, even if they think they've covered their tracks, SPEAK UP because people WILL FIND IT

Good night my friends.
I love you all so very much.
Every day I am so very grateful that you are here with me, and count myself lucky that you have been able to stay here with me, just one more day.

I often think about how I can't safely do protest coverage because what if this happens to me and I can't get my meds.
Freelance photojournalist @davedeckerphoto.bsky.social was arrested while reporting on an immigration protest outside an ICE facility in Miami on Nov. 22.
He was held in custody for 30-plus hours and released with charges of trespassing and resisting an officer.
