Happy #kidlitartpostcard #kidlitpostcard day! I'm an experienced illustrator and cartoonist working on my first author-illustrator pitch and seeking representation! You can find more drawings at meghanlands.com! #kidlitart #kidlit #illustration

Illustration of 2 mice in a blue kitchen, a tall one mixing batter in a bowl and a short one standing on a table amid a huge mess, holding a spoon and yelling. They both wear red turtlenecks.

The death of our careers comes hand-in-hand with building the surveillance state just as much as "cutting unnecessary jobs." I sincerely believe accepting AI is letting in a fascist death cult whose ideologies are normalized by embracing this supremely evil tech.

Freelance illustration gigs drying up. Ad agencies using Midjourney instead of hiring human artists. Costume design turned over to AI wholesale. Good work vanishing.

These are the stories of working visual artists, who describe losing jobs, wages, and hope as their clients and bosses embrace AI.

Artists are losing work, wages, and hope as bosses and clients embrace AI

Visual artists, illustrators and graphic designers share their stories about how AI is being used to lower wages, degrade work and even replace it altogether, in this installment of AI Killed My Job.

Ughhhh I need people like that but they’re so annoying.

Today I went to retrieve an Instagram post I had saved and I was like "Wow, it's finally happening."

Meghan Lands @meghanlands.bsky.social · 13h

I found everyone almost absurdly helpful. I was alone with zero Japanese and everyone I interacted with was super super accommodating.

Dang, nice watch!

100% I have zero patience for this.

I trust this guy.

Tbh a lot of folks just don't have much to say to another person even pre-GPT. If someone had been AI-ing me on the apps and then was kind of vacant on the date I would attribute it to the normal non-AI reasons probably.

Listen.
I am the last possible person in the entire world with practical dating advice.

But to the people using ChatGPT to kick start relationships.

Holy cow, thank you book people!!! You guys aren't messing around!

Meghan Lands @meghanlands.bsky.social · 1d

Nope! Thank you!

Meghan Lands @meghanlands.bsky.social · 1d

I've got plenty but if you've got a favorite or two I'll take it!

Meghan Lands @meghanlands.bsky.social · 1d

Thank you!!! Fictional tv show rockets straight to the top, I've watched a lot of stuff I didn't like just because the show-within-a-show hooked me so effectively.

Meghan Lands @meghanlands.bsky.social · 1d

That does sound like a cross section of the stuff she posts about, good call.

Meghan Lands @meghanlands.bsky.social · 1d

That sounds very cute!!!

We’ve reported extensively on how the FDA allowed foreign drugmakers to send generic medications to the U.S. from factories with filthy labs and contaminated equipment.

This month, we’re digging deeper and could use your help. THREAD/

Thank you!!!

Meghan Lands @meghanlands.bsky.social · 1d

Whoa thank you!!! That's a ton of stuff!!!

I picked up the Buried Giant but ultimately put it down because of the fantasy or like medieval-type setting I think? I loved Never Let Me Go and Klara and the Sun seemed like it might be similarly "soft" sci-fi.

Hi book people, I recently started reading fiction again. I just finished Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro and really enjoyed it, can you recommend something to read next? I've missed like 10 years of novels so go nuts.
