Is it the "draw a straight line" ability? Or is it "delete all hidden layers at once so turning in your book files without all your sketch and ruler and 3d layers is now painless"

If you’d like to help a small indie press come to life and also grab some goodies/print credit at the same time, here’s your chance!!! They’re almost at their first goal!

H.R. 7661 would harm so many publishers, authors, and readers. Only the smallest sliver of human experience would make it onto shelves. If you think kids deserve the world, you are against this bill - please read this article and call your reps.

A government which does not want trans people to exist, and is legally allowed to force detransition in prisons, has created incentive for itself to put more trans people in prisons.

A digital drawing of author Maia Kobabe, a white nonbinary person with short brown hair wearing a patterned blue shirt, who scowls while holding up a copy of eir book GENDER QUEER: A MEMOIR. Maia is saying: H.R. 7661 is a national book banning bill which seeks to remove any book that "involves gender dysphoria or transgenderism" from all public schools in the US. This would ban my books, and any other book with trans themes, from public schools. PLEASE call your House Reps and say: NO ON H.R. 7661!

Don't be fooled by this bill's name-- this is a book banning bill that will exclude LGBTQ books from all public schools NATIONWIDE.

Call your congresspeople and tell them to VOTE NO on this nakedly bigoted book banning bullshit.

Turns out you can drop a big old can of beans on your foot and have it still be sore a month later but it's NOT broken

The German publisher for Ruined put a giant "NO AI" label on the cover on Amazon, I love that this is becoming a positive marketing point
