It’s that point in time before a big convention that I am 100% overthinking everything.

I highly recommend Brass Taxes. It’s a company that works specifically with artists and freelancers so they know exactly how we run our businesses and what makes us different for tax purposes. Total stress saver for me!

I have vended at NYCC for the last few years and my experience is that every day when it gets busy the service will drop for a few hours (at least). There are zones that are ok but some that you won’t have service at all. I paid for the WiFi this year.

Unless one has the means that allow for certain possibilities, very often, the urgency of making a living robs the artist of the time required to make masterworks.

Did not work for me in NY. Just tried to schedule and got a pop up that due to state regulations I was not eligible (even though I legit have a condition on the list)

Finally got around to framing this lovely piece by @dianateeterart.bsky.social, from NY Comic Con a couple-few years ago. How sweet are these two NYC icons? I fell in love with this as soon as I saw it #art

Closeup of a hand holding up a small painting of a rat hugging a pigeon, against a backdrop of a star-studded sky. The painting is in a white vignette, inside a black frame.

If you want a weird but true fact to talk about:

Dexter Holland, lead singer of The Offspring, was instrumental in this. His doctorial thesis in molecular biology was sequencing mRNA in HIV. The paper was also heavily cited in creating the COVID-19 vaccine.

It feels like we should be making a bigger deal of “we actually did in fact find a cure for AIDS”

Evidence is growing that some HIV-infected infants, if given antiretroviral drugs early in life, are able to suppress their viral loads to undetectable levels and then come off the medicine. www.wired.com/story/the-fi...

To nobody's surprise, beating yourself up does not, in fact, cure burnout. Doesn't stop me from doing a surprised Pikachu face when I catch myself doing it tho

Block anyone who implies it’s crass to try to sell art bc of “Everything Going On.” Motherfuckers there is going to be a LOT going on FOREVER, and artists sell art AS THEIR JOB. Do you go to fuckin McDonalds and scream at the staff “HOW COULD YOU BE MAKING FRENCH FRIES AT A TIME LIKE THIS??” Grow up

I get a lot of replies like this on here, so I'll just say: I think it's nice to let folks enjoy things, even, and perhaps especially, amidst *waves hands* everything.

Cool, but don't be pissed off when you want everyone to focus on your art, while democracy around us unravels. It's kind of the big thing happening now, and, maybe the foreseeable future.

Likely all bots. I had a post go viral and was followed by thousands of them. Took me two days to block all of them ☹️

Someone once said NextDoor is the social network for dogs if they could type. It’s always “what’s that noise?” and “who’s that stranger?” which is exactly what I imagine my dogs would text other neighborhood dogs.

An astronomy professor colleague of mine once relayed trying to explain to his students why it was important that they actually write their class reports themselves. “The point is not to teach ME about neutron stars,” he said.

Sam Halpert @samhalpert.bsky.social · Apr 15

Even accepting the premise that AI produces useful writing (which no one should), using AI in education is like using a forklift at the gym. The weights do not actually need to be moved from place to place. That is not the work. The work is what happens within you.
