And will say, holistically, so much of hatred and oppression in the world comes from people trying to put others "in their place," literally and figuratively.

In almost EVERY circumstance, it's better to ask a person whether they're where they want to be than to make that decision for them.

Having genuinely wandered into the wrong restroom before, I'd first walk out and check _I_ was in the room I'd intended to be in, then poke my head back in and POLITELY say, "I just want to make sure there's no confusion, but you were looking for the [gendered]'s room, yes?"

I would urge everyone who is being affected by the SNAP shutdown to not only look at food banks but also check out if you have a community garden nearby. This is where you can possibly get free or discounted produce. I know this is extremely helpful if you are a vegetarian. is.gd/KAIAaB

Just a reminder: If you are an indie author? You are the captain of your ship. You make the deadlines and you can change those deadlines. If your current publishing schedule is burning you out? It's okay to slow down.

Also, this should not need to be said, because "promote the general welfare" def means feeding people, still it's worth noting that food stamps have a huge positive economic impact overall. Every $1 spent on SNAP adds $1.54 to the economy. As is often the case, doing right is also an overall good.

GlobalComix utilized AI usage with my comic and other creator’s comics. They created promo videos to showcase the comics, but used AI in the process of creating them.

The videos were sloppy. And overall, the “summaries” were inaccurate, which misrepresented what the comics are actually about.
