Ausencia: a series of 9 lithographs created at La Máquina in Oaxaca. After completing the print, I gradually erased the drawing to underscore the fact that both the Mayan stingless bee (Melipona beeicheii) and the vanilla orchid are currently endangered due to environmental impact. #art #lithography

Fast forward to today, when she could have notified the authorities or some roving gang of masked men in unmarked vehicles and had two of Mexico's most beloved authors thrown up against a fence or down on the pavement and handcuffed for speaking Spanish with the approval of the Supreme Court.

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars.

OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.
