Brilliant lady and I applaud her! So reminiscent 60 minutes with the Jefferey Wigand story, "tortious interference" was the linguistic legalese used then for the network to behave like cowards and the bbc is doing the same thing now. Kowtow to the establishment that legally mandates your funding.

Redrew this old art from 2021
an illustration of the artist, Matt Aytch Taylor, hanging off the front of an ocean liner smoke stack-from the RMS Queen Mary to be specific-looking out toward the horizon. the artist wears a buttondown shirt and a pair of rolled cuff jeans. Chack sandals adorn their feet. Gulls float in the distance. an updated illustration of the artist, Matt Aytch Taylor, hanging off the front of an ocean liner smoke stack-from the RMS Queen Mary to be specific-looking out toward the horizon. the artist wears a buttondown shirt and a pair of rolled cuff jeans.

Therapy, prison and many many years of serious therapy. Abusive self delusional arsehole. There is a running theme to these transphobes, obsessively self delusional in thinking that they don't have a problem. Avoid their works, financially starve them and condemn them to obscurity.

Graham Linehan is a normal and well man.
A few hours later, he sends me an example of how he’s been using AI. It’s a “hidden role deduction” game he’s working on. At the top is the prompt he put into ChatGPT: “You are five blind lesbian adventurers out for a good night out. Slaying dragons and whatnot. But one of your number is a hulking great troll pretending to be a woman. Find the troll lesbian and then devise an amusing punishment without giving him an erection.

Xenovember day 27! Another short and sharp one because I’m helping my partner pack down from a pretty incredible event last night for @bruxaofficial while trying to keep up with deadlines…! Alien: Covenant cops a dud rap.

This is a really sick story.

From everything I know, Boston’s Logan Airport is a legitimately dangerous place to travel through.

abcnews.go.com/US/19-year-c...
A 19-year-old college student who was on her way to surprise her family for Thanksgiving break was detained at a Boston airport and later deported despite a federal judge's order blocking her removal, according to her attorney. Any Lucia Lopez Belloza, who entered the U.S. from Honduras when she was 8 years old, was about to board her flight to Texas last Friday to visit her parents and siblings when airport authorities told her to step aside, her attorney Todd Pomerleau told ABC News.

Very thankful today to those who have contributed to the GoFundMe to get a new computer (because my work machine died). Almost a third of the way there. THANK YOU.

For this, I give you a vengeful turkey (trying to draw on my iPad again in Procreate).

(Please share!)
Turkey says VENGEANCE! You know what you did. Digital drawing in Procreate.

When I’m not drawing on paper, Procreate is still my favorite tool!
Here’s the profile of a fantasy girl fresh from the iPad ✨
What do you think, should I turn her into a full illustration?

On this day, Indigenous people and allies confront the settler-colonial narratives of “Thanksgiving,” observing it instead as a National Day of Mourning.

Happy Thanksgiving to my fellow beleaguered Americans!

As we live through (dare I say) such a historic time, it's vitally important to actively remind ourselves of the things that bring relief and brightness to our lives that make them worth living. I hope everyone reading this has a wonderful day!

screenshot from the linked/quoted article. text reads: Sherald's advice to young artists: "A lot of times when you don't know what you're going to make, it's not because you have some kind of block, it's just because you haven't lived out in the world long enough, and so, part of making good art is having experiences, so maybe get out of the studio and don't put the pressure on yourself to make something... If you're out and you're living in the world with your antennas up and you're looking at movies and you're reading and you're having conversations, that's part of art-making as well. It doesn't happen in a vacuum." Image credit: Amy Sherald. A God Blessed Land (Empire of Dirt). 2022. Tymure Collection. © Amy Sherald.
