I've been in a creative slump lately, so forgive the halfassiness of my #brushweek2025 contributions. I polled for which character I should draw, then had to break a three-way tie. (Lettusu is a brand new joke OC.)

The only silver lining to AI poisoning everything is that shitty drawings like mine, which were already charming in their shitty way, are now even more charming because obviously some ding dong made them, NOT a computer.

Some of you have forgotten that only three years ago you were perfectly capable of writing a text, writing an email, telling a bedtime story to a child, and it should worry you that powerful companies have convinced us we can’t do things we’ve been doing since the dawn of time.

The science behind gender-affirming care has been endorsed by every major medical organization. This isn't about science or medicine. It's about the discomfort many non-trans people feel over the *existence* of trans people.
Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is expected to announce a package of measures that would together ban gender-affirming care for minors. A press conference is set for 11 a.m. Thursday. n.pr/44xQKdD

this field biologist does a great job highlighting the insidiousness of AI editing
these one-click AI edit buttons are incredibly appealing to many photographers, amateurs and professionals alike, and are framed as innocuous
this is worth sharing and educating people about

Also, congratulations everyone who made something this year. A comic, a song, a film, a novel, a painting, a poem, a short story, a sculpture, crochet, embroidery, whatever it is. In this era of slop and theft, if you *make* something you are a shining jewel and I am so grateful for you.

Love to see the Sedgwick County Zoo putting out a good explainer on why GenAI slop videos of animals are a problem & how to identify them! It’s succinct, easy to read, and doesn’t shame people for not knowing better. A+ useful link to share with family and friends.

Woke up an hour and a half ago on a futon on the wrong side of the International Date Line, back sore, mildly hungover, then blew the time until now on Telegram and TV Tropes. I ate today's breakfast yesterday. So begins the longest birthday I'll ever have, the precursor to my age of calamity.
