I know itβs difficult right now, but I insist that you seek and enjoy beautiful things, even if it seems frivolous or irresponsible in the face of overwhelming horror. I want you to feed yourself artistically, spiritually, and literally, because you canβt Do The Work when youβre starving.
If you see this, show your dark/nighttime art π

For those of you who might not know (I'm being charitable here), women LOVE horror. They're great at writing it, directing films of it, illustrating it...PERIOD. This is just a fact.

ICYMI: Around 10,000 authors have come together to publish Donβt Steal This Book, an empty book protesting the governmentβs proposed "commercial research exception" to copyright law π #BookSky
Someone over on LinkedIn said to me that building a Feed of over 1,000 artists who donβt use AI is βrare these daysβ.

It really isnβt though β I think all of us artists know that.
We need spaces where our work isnβt drowned out by slop.
We can sustain and thrive in these spaces.
Itβs why the SciArt Feed π‘ isnβt open to everyone with the hashtag, but I have to approve them first.
One of the best features of Bluesky Feeds: if someone posted AI slop in the #SciArt Feed, I can
a) remove the individual post, or
b) remove them as a contributor and all of their posts disappear.

The SAVE America Act is a voter suppression scam. It would take away the rights of working people to make their voices heard at the ballot box.
The Senate must reject this bill.

Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.
When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.
It's time to learn your ABCs of Black Lady Comic Pros. π€
Swipe through to meet them. Then follow them, buy their work, and tell someone else about them.
And this is just the ABCs. We are just getting started.

I low-key love that they tracked down one of the few surviving actors in these episodes and invited him to βdo some historical interviewsβ and then sprung these on him.
"Cars are the most absurd means of transport in a city. They are parked 95 per cent of the time. It takes two tonnes to move someone who weighs 70 kilogrammes. And the denser the city, the more absurd it is."
I think about this a lot.
What heartache resides in this endless cage? #ProjectViolets
No book is going to turn kids into someone else. But books will regularly show kids other people like them and show those kids they're not alone. And they'll show kids other types of people who also exist. There is a large proportion of the population who are terrified of this.
