Frustrating hearing “nobody cares” and “Americans are so disengaged”. It’s a disservice to the many, many activists and orgs who are indeed fighting to make things better. Immediate drastic change would be nice, but it’s the consistent work that actually builds longterm change. Help do that work.
Screaming "wtf" and waiting for a spontaneous uprising is going to discourage you. There won't be a spontaneous uprising. That's just not where the people are at.

Organize for the long term. Build community. Build resilience. Have a strategy for whatever corner of this thing you're working on.

Were 90s kids clamoring for a Batman cartoon with 1930s Art Deco aesthetics? Is that what the market demanded? Or did some really smart creative people have a vision and make a genre-defining hit that sustained 20 years of TV shows? If you want success look for vision, not just metrics.

this is why, all things considered, I'm not too scared about the future.

PSA to anyone ever looking to hire an illustrator, artist, designer, craftsperson, etc:
Do not send them gen ai images.
*Especially* do not send them ai images to use as a basis to work off of/ improve/ fix for you. Just send a description of what you are looking for and a sketch (100000% better!)

the only good thing about genAI is that it got me to really love seeing bad art, because I know a person put in time and effort, made themselves vulnerable by showing it to others, and is trying to improve. I value that more than anything now
