brown pencil on blue digital "paper". says "ideal...life (bedtime). crude drawings illustrate each item. "yoga. hygiene. clean bed. wind down" brown pencil on blue digital "paper". says "real...life (chaos). cruder and cruder drawings (with the text deterioriating as well) illustrate each item. "scrolling. day clothes no shower." (i lie flat on my face on a pillow, with stink lines). "3 am." (i am sad with eye bags and frizzy hair). a thought bubble surrounds a lump with question marks. "how 2 not b pos????"

A comic page from KEEPING TIME. Daniel, a Japanese American man, sits on stage at a grand piano and stares out in disbelief at Denver, a blond punk with a neck tattoo who looks equally stunned. A caption title says, "CHAPTER 1: 2:45 AM" A second panel. Denver llifts the lid of a dumpster, while two figures stand behind him in a dark alleyway. A third panel. Denver lights both his cigarette and that of Daniel's. Denver says, "I'm impressed, y'know," while Daniel answers with a, "Hmm?" A final panel. Denver motions towards Daniel with his lit cigarette while Daniel smiles gently.

Out of respect for the late Udo Kier, I'm making my review of BLOOD FOR DRACULA, which focuses almost entirely on his incredible performance, free and open to the public.

Reposting this important message with alt text:
Four panels of Chantel Akerman talking. In the first panel she is smiling and says, When most people go to the movies, the ultimate compliment for them is to say; “We didn't notice the time pass!" In the second panel, still smiling, she says, With me, you see the time pass. And feel it pass. In the third panel, she looks a little more serious and says, You also sense that this is the time that leads towards death. And that's why there's so much resistance. In the fourth panel, she is smoking a cigarette like she has just murdered you and enjoyed doing it and says, I took two hours of someone's life.

#repostober #halloween #art #fanart
A page with some sketches with the protagonists of the movie Halloween: some studies of Myers, his mask and four thumbnails of a never-made illustration, two portraits of Laurie (1978 and 2018), and a painting study from a frame of the 1978’s movie (Laurie crying while Myers appears from the shadows).

Trans artwork time
The trans desire to not be murder. Below that text, there is a bunny and a cat You can get this 4x6 for 25 Two frogs exist together in spite of it all. One frog is blue with rose eyes, and the other is purple with blue eyes. Both have a blueish purple linework. To their left is a rose, purple, and blueish purple floworal creature. The field they are in is pink, rose, blue, and purple. Above them all are purple words that read, "Trans rights in spite of everything." Around it is purple stars and dots that are rose, blueish purple, and blue. You can get this 4x6 for 30. A pink, light blue, rose, blue, white, and dark blue frog castle welcomes you. The sky is full of rose stars, blue hearts, and purple and white dots. Around the castle, there is large kelp like flower plants. The entry is shaped like an abstracted lily. There are multiple stripped patterns on the towers of either rose and pink or blue and light blue with white. Other towers are dotted. Some parts have floral life mending into it. There are ten frogs and one bunny. Four are blue, three are pink, two are red, and one is dark blue. The rabbit is blue. Dark blue bushes separate the floral grasslands from the castle. The grassland is in repeating patterns of colors pink, rose, blue, and purple. The first three sections have flowers: blue, pink, and rose. You can get a custom castle in this size 11x14 for 350. I do offer 8x10s for 250. Two rats cuddle up together in a void. The embrace almost forms a circle. One rat is purple, metallic rose, metallic red, black, and white with blue linework. The other rat is red, metallic blue, metallic purple, black, and white with rose linework. The border is blue on the side of the blue linework rat and rose on the side of the rose linework rat. The background is blue and has some different colored dots on both sides. The blue side has metalic rose, metallic red, purple, blue, black, and white. The rose side has metallic blue, metallic purple, metallic blue, red, rose, black, and white. This is an example of a 7x7 pet portrait that you can get for 140.

YOU, AN ABSOLUTE NOBODY: "Funkytown" is a pretty great song

ME, A NEW YORK TIMES-BESTSELLING AUTHOR: Lipps, Inc. unleashed "Funkytown" into a disco post-apocalypse; it goes so hard because it is an elegy, a threnody, a deathsong for the queer utopiae that might have been. "Funkytown" is hauntology

Listen, if they're gonna relentlessly let you know the McRib is back, you can damn sure have a full Pride Rock moment with your work. Shame is the little death. Let it pass through you. All that remains is whee.

If you're an author being published by small and tiny presses, please shamelessly promote your work, however much your temperament might militate against it. I've seen many wonderful authors at this level so quickly forgotten when they die, you deserve all the readers you can get while you're alive.

If you look carefully, they market this fact.

They hype "personalized" learning, by which they mean "algorithmically generated per student"

So if I'm given a word problem I can't talk to my classmates about it, bc they don't have the same one

I think the shortest version of why LLMs are an anti education technology is that education is fundamentally about making shared context to understand ourselves, each other, and the world

And by design LLMs destroy shared context
