Ray Bradbury had a sign above his typewriter that said, “Don’t think.”

We both know the trap: “Next year will be different!”
It will be, creative—but you will find it a LOT easier to create if you start now and don’t wait for the New Year.
Inertia is your friend.

If anyone is curious about the current list of search terms being used by right wing activist organizations to harass university professors, here's a public records request I received today from Mike Howell of the Heritage Foundation. Not intimidating or meant to curtail by my speech at all, right?

if you're one person making a comic by yourself, don't treat yourself like you should function on the same level as comics that have multiple people working on them. your backgrounds can be squiggles and colors.

Let me give some insight on this, as a producer in the dub industry who worked with major streamers, who's witnessed first-hand where this push for AI is coming from.
tl;dr: Only CEOs want this. Tell them how much you hate it. Be loud, email, call, @, post. You will kill this.

The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them
A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.

Bad news: it will never be perfect because you’re always growing, so you can always improve.
Worse news: if you don’t make it, it will never get done.
Best news: Make it anyway, and you will grow as an artist.

It’s one of the best things ever produced.

The number of friends and family she has is just shocking to me. I have no idea how she's able to maintain this vast network of social relationships AND write books. It's superhuman! 😆
