Seeing a lot of people sharing the Trans Continental Pipeline, which is good for those Kansans who can and wish to exit the state, but for those who cannot, there are other organizations you can support! Please share these as well! 👇

Added The Ship’s Cat zine to my store. A5, 24 b&w pages of drawings of an astronaut and her cat. Each copy comes signed and with a sticker (while stocks last). Ship worldwide andiwatson.bigcartel.com

cleaned the trap of the dishwasher before having coffee, waiting for my medal to come in the mail

If you have the means, please donate to the Trans Continental Pipeline right now. They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate and they are overwhelmed with requests. Colorado borders Kansas, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out.

Newcastle pubs ban AI art from breweries to protect local creatives As two pubs in Newcastle ban AI art, artists discuss the impact it can have on creatives.

"If I was to use ChatGPT for my designs rather than our designer Sean, that's taking money out of the local area into the hands of a multibillionaire ... removing value from the local community and local artists [and] into the hands of some of the richest people in the world."

thinking abouit how in korean traditional theater there is a monster called yeongno which eats rich people and if it eats 100 of them it gets to go to heaven (I'm sorry, I'm not feeling well and I can't explain what it looks like, sort of like an anteater) Like can we summon this m quasi-normalcy replies - go little fellow!

I believe in you, little guy

i'll have to take better pics but these came out very nice :)

Ok, here’s a proof of the 2nd layer, which adapts a broadside published in April of 1854 to warn Black residents of Boston about slave-catchers in the city, following the passage of the Fugitive Slave Act www.nps.gov/articles/000...

I clutch the amazing crash and burn of NFTs in my hand like a rosary every time I have to think about generative AI

They're from one market and one bakery here in Chicago- we're spoiled with options! They were delicious. I don't think all these flavors are available outside of the lead-up to Lent, so a special treat.

I have so many paczki in my house.

Writers who use genAI for illustrations are class traitors. We all have to fight this beast TOGETHER. We are not just trying to save SOME of our livelihoods.

Close up of a crosshatched etching of a Winter Wren, a tiny round dark bird with a pointy tail

Two copies of the etching. One has a few more lines

I just wrapped up a 5 week etching class, and I really want to take another. Not taking any printmaking in college has always been a regret- happy I'm rectifying it 20 years(!) later. Etching is very familiar and very foreign at the same time.

Whenever I try to move off of that cleanser I break out like crazy- Cetaphil just hasn't worked the same for me. This is a good reminder to try again, though. I hope you can find a good alternative!

Reminder: If you use generative AI for *any of your writing tasks* you are a Slopper not a writer and should be ashamed of yourself. The end.

Hungary banned anything that “promotes homosexuality,” which means Pride.

However, today over 500,000 people in Budapest told the government to fuck off. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Folks, remember

If you cannot run your business by following simple laws, you don’t have a business, you have a racket.

I spotted this guy *while having dinner to celebrate my wedding anniversary* and we hurried over to catch a look at him.

yeah i got no issue with people whose job involves the use of machine learning tools for a number of technical tasks but anyone using AI to automate human communication or creativity is just instantly less of a person to me

I hate genAI so much. I think it's one of the most dangerous things to hit humanity. We've let it corrupt our entire world in an extremely short amount of time. It needs to be stopped before it's too late.
