A tumblr post from orteil42 (cookie clicker dev) that says: am i losing the drive to create things for an increasingly alien and hostile world whose mounting taste for fascism feels like a cold metal vise around my skull or am i just lazy and unmedicated and looking for excuses
Sorry for the lack of activity itโs literally just this

I really need people to understand that when they generate their shirt designs for us to recreate, the fonts in them DON'T EXIST.

Her dreams were "crushed" by backlash, but it's totally okay to crush artist's livelihood using ai.
Heads up, you can still have a restaurant without ai. Artists are literally losing their jobs and having work stolen because of gen ai.

Imagine a world where children are never encouraged to draw or write or imagine stories, they are only told to consume and prompt and generate, poking the Approved Intellectual Property Characters with a stick to dance for them, but never having characters or worlds or stories of their own.

Photo of a fluffy tortoiseshell cat wearing a fluorescent pink, crocheted beanie. She looks kinda pissed.
Couldn't stop crocheting for the past week. The bright-ass pink beanie is nearly complete. #crochet #tortie

I won't do comics without a clear outline ever again. The uncertainy of a story without secure plot points and a solid ending is stressful and discouraging.

Love where the story I'm working on is going. I set up a larger story to span chapters, but there is also the potential for less long form, episodic stories either throughout, or after the main line plot is covered.

The stories I want to tell don't jive with my usual art style. I'm going to have to figure out how to bring them together more cohesively. Somehow..

A pen and marker drawing of a cartoony owl with a smug expression and pose. The text "Superb" arcs over them. The owl is a light purple, and the text is lime green, with a faded yellow background.

Looking at the mug shots Bondi posted of folks who allegedly impeded ICE officers... I'm reminded me of some of the iconic 1960s images of 'criminals' from counter sitins and freedom rides

#UnplugICE. A Distributed General Strike.
ICE doesn't operate in a vacuum. Behind every person killed, every raid, every detention, every deportation flight is a web of corporations cashing checks.
Let's monkey wrench ICE, there are easy ways of doing so and there are MILLIONS OF US NOW!!!

I think a lot of us get hope wrong. Hope, I do not believe, is an emotion. In fact, hope makes space for lots of emotions to exist alongside it. You can DO hope scared, angry, sad etc...
Hope doesn't find us. We make hope through action and struggle. It's a practice of living and is re-made daily.
