I just finished the seventh Dungeon Crawler Carl book. I started the first one on September first, so I read seven books in 32 days.

This is gonna be one of the most intense book hangovers I've ever had

The "AI" responses that Google gives about me and my work are consistently error-prone, which I know because I am me. If I know Google's "AI" responses give incorrect answers about things I know about, I can't trust it to give correct answers about things I don't know. So, no, I don't use it.

I’m surprised you don’t use ai answer engines in research you currently do with Google

ICE boats trawling the Chicago River. This is the DUMBEST thing I've seen in my entire life. No exaggeration. What's next? Humvees loaded with armed, masked agents patrolling Disney's Main Street U.S.A.?

Lady behind me at The Thing screening last night to her partner "why are they shooting at the dog?" and her partner says very firmly "have you never seen a film before? You watch it and information is revealed"

Formal post soon, but for the first time in eight (!) years, I'm open for illustration & short comics work! I'd love to do more TTRPG equipment & character designs/ illos; book covers; & book interiors. I also love making short comics & would love to be a part of more anthologies! www.careydraws.com

I'm about to leave for a real vacation on a cruise where I don't have internet, and while I'm working hard to tamp down my concern that work will need me, I'm much more upset about the fact that I'm going to break my nearly 2 year BeReal streak

"I've reached Kwik Trip Valhalla" is a sentence my husband just said out loud to me on the phone and that's how I know we were made for each other

This video (though terrible) is not BREAKING - it's from months ago - and this person is spreading misinformation at a very dangerous time for kicks and clicks. Block them.
