production of The Muppet Show should not be dependent on petty vulgarities like “ratings” or “revenue.” it should be preserved as a vital function of american culture. it should have a taxpayer-funded budget rivaling the CIA

Democratizing the arts looks like universal income, low-barrier grants for both emerging and working artists, well-funded municipal arts & recreation programs, vibrant third spaces, and a well-funded public school system with progressive curriculum.
Not a free pass for corporate-owned slop engines.

Every instance of "AI democratizes the arts, you're classist and ableist and a gatekeeper for trying to stop it" is a slap in the face to the literally centuries of poor, disabled people making art on the margins and a crass lie in service of a machine that strips down and regurgitates dreams

2. being poor means having to make hard choices like:
[a] drawing something yourself in a way society would call "bad" (i.e. unprofessional)
[b] sacrificing resources you don't have to pay a real artist what they're worth (or learn yourself)
[c] not doing it at all, or

"just don't use Al" is a luxury position. when people moralize choices made under scarcity, they're pretending the menu is the same for everyone. it fucking isn't.

A small landlord is a person who rents out their basement apartment in their house. A person who owns a building is just a landlord-landlord.

This scam with my name attached started the day after articles quoted me about instagram adding their own sensationalistic and often inaccurate headlines to insta posts in google searches. I do not send emails to strangers out of the blue pushing my wares, so to speak.
I'm furious right now. Read my brief blog entry to find out why. If you're an author, you DEFINTELY need to know about this.
