Okay...before I actually go with the iPad (I want it for procreate),
are there any really good alternatives for Samsung tablets? I do prefer Android products, but I know procreate is only on Apple.

This is a perfect example as to why we need AI regulation yesterday.
AI cannot be the arbiter of whether human beings can live or die. This is an excuse for insurance companies to fire human workers and make our healthcare system even more nightmarish for a quick buck.

Pichelli has since said this was taken out of context from an off-hand conversation she had at a busy con with someone who did not identify himself as a journalist and is twisting her words for click bait

We keep talking about this like it’s a debate, but this is a self-explanatory phenomenon: If A.I. was good, it wouldn’t be IN THE NEWS when a famous artist starts using it. No one writes an article about Miyazaki trying out a new brush.

This is something I and my fellow hyper literate types have a really hard time grasping. It’s frustrating to think you’re being really clear in writing, but still get wildly misunderstood because you’ve overestimated people’s literacy level.
This is…a real problem online.
This is…a real problem online.
People don't understand what is meant by "literacy" and the "literacy crisis".
Literacy isn't just not being able to physically read. Many people know how to see words and say words, which is basic reading. Literacy is being able to infer the correct information from what you read.

I don't know who needs to hear this but sometimes a sketch is just meant to be a sketch and not a finished piece.
Not everything has to be a "finished" thing. Maybe the sketch IS the finished version of that thing. If you learned from it, took what you needed, it had its purpose fulfilled.

Also r.e. airports (because yes, I am subtweeting that particular article): those're the places I need to use my crutches most, because a) a whole lot of standing in lines, and b) a whole lot of those lines are in places where sitting on the floor generally isn't allowed/is frowned upon
I think a whole pile of folks with newspaper columns really need to reckon with the fact that seeing disabled people - especially disabled people who aren't kids or elderly - makes them uncomfortable, and that that's *their* hangup to get over, not anyone else's to do owt about.

Please understand that all your favorite million-dollar IPs were created by artists that get nothing more than a typical company paycheck. They don’t get royalties on the sales and oft aren’t even rewarded with bonuses or anything for creating such a valuable brand.

The most realistic scene in DS9 is when Gul Dukat whined about how the Bajorans never erected a statue in his honor. A prophetic text.

Disabled people do not owe you their medical history.
They do not owe you their diagnosis.
They do not owe you an explanation.
Benefits are exceedingly hard to get and the process is punishing & dehumanizing.
No one is doing it for fun.
