today's card pull: if you've been burned before you might look at a certain offer very skeptically - and you're right to, and know that "no" is a full sentence. but make sure your past experience isn't over-colouring the situation & preventing you from seeing what's really on offer #tarot #tarotsky

as an aside, a friend of mine was a kids' illustrator in the 90s & would regularly draw pictures of men holding hands, women holding hands in crowd scenes. He knew the publishers wouldn't notice, & he also knew the queer kids would.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

The Verge @theverge.com · May 26

Nick Clegg says asking artists for use permission would ‘kill’ the AI industry

Paul McCartne, Elton John and others signed an open letter.

An illustrator friend did a kid's book where one of the mums wore hijab. Not to make a point, just as part of a normal city school background. Took it to publisher and was asked to remove because it 'wasn't a book about inclusivity'

found my first ever confirmed wood blewit but it & its siblings were growing under a yew tree, gutted. also found some manner of agaricus growing by the side of the road, along with a big group of giant funnels. spore printing them all just in case

it is become the time of year where the cat's desire to

a) be warm &
b) have all of the interior doors open all of the time

is thwarted
