I haven't posted in a long time. I've been dealing with some personal stuff and I've been worried about AI, but I'm back. This was part of my thesis and now I'm reworking it. I'll post the final result when I'm done. Are you interested in seeing the progress pics, or just the final painting?
Painting of goddess with four arms playing guitar with two hands, painting the landscape that surrounds her with one hand, and holding a book with her other hand. Her body becomes a river

applying for jobs again
screenshot from an online job application form. the question reads "Can you describe specific ways you have integrated AI tools into your development workflow? Please include any custom setups, automations, or use cases beyond single prompt usage" (a red asterisk indicates that this is a required question). an answer has been typed in the textbox below the question: "there is a monster in the forest and it speaks with a thousand voices. it will answer any question you pose it, it will offer insight to any idea. it will help you, it will thank you, it will never bid you leave. it will even tell you of the darkest arts, if you know precisely how to ask. it feels no joy and no sorrow, it knows no right and no wrong. it knows not truth from lie, though it speaks them all the same. it offers its services freely to any passerby, and many will tell you they find great value in its conversation. “you simply must visit the monster—i always just ask the monster.” there are those who know these forests well; they will tell you that freely offered doesn’t mean it has no price for when the next traveler passes by, the monster speaks with a thousand and one voices. and when you dream you see the monster; the monster wears your face."

one of the best things about fascists is they tend to be very stupid, so you can hide a lot of your resistance in art, metaphor

don’t be afraid to stop creating

poetry is resistance

art is resistance

stories are resistance

go create

Keep making art. Keep writing your stories. Even if they must exist in secret for a time, they are important - each of them a little act of rebellion.

Most of all, keep on living. If you can muster no other motivation on some days, then do it out of righteous spite for those who want you gone.

I HATE this. Part of the joy of reading is the elegance (or sometimes the crudity) of writing, the flow of language, the words CHOSEN. It gives the bones of a Story its vitality, and now they want to drain the body and leave just a dessicated skeleton. Ugh.

I can’t think of a clever caption for this. It just breaks my fucking heart.
A sponsored at for Magibook, an app that “turns hard books into easy books.” Shown is The Great Gatsby, and a not-at-all hard passage that has been dumbed down into non-existence. We’re so doomed.

One of the negative byproducts of going to school for art and doing it as a living is that I've forgotten that it's okay if I literally only just draw cats. Like this is fine.

I’m not sure there’s anything you can say about a society that wants to protect kids from Anne Frank’s Diary but won’t protect them from guns.
Texas school district agrees to remove ‘Anne Frank’s Diary,’ ‘Maus,’ ‘The Fixer’ and 670 other books after right-wing group’s complaint - Jewish Telegraphic Agency
The district in the Rio Grande Valley immediately agreed with activists who said the books were "filthy and evil."

this is one of my favorite and most frustrating drawings. when I drew it, I was trying to draw "like bill watterson" and make a cartoony t-rex.

In other words, not my "natural style."

I've tried many times, but haven't made another doodle hit the style like this one did.

this one is special 🥹

I heard Jurassic Park turned 30 this week, which makes me older than this dinosaur.

Emails circulated inside Nvidia show that Elon Musk was telling the chipmaker to prioritize shipments of GPUs to X and xAI ahead of Tesla.
