In my day job, I edit podcasts & text. In my night job, I write comics & prose, knit, read/watch/listen to stuff, table at events, & occasionally edit for others.

Today I’ve managed to do a weights class (the first on in almost a week!), grocery shopping, four loads of laundry (plus folding & putting away), remake all the beds, prepare lunch & dinner, do a bunch of food prep for future meals, stack the dishwasher, & NOT pack my con suitcase ☹️

Day 8: OTTER 🦦

#SuperBatober #Inktober #inktober2025
SUPERBATOBER 08: OTTER -- Batgirl finally has her own pet sidekick and it's an... otter? Really thought it would be a bat. But gotta listen to the prompts! Regardless, Supergirl seems pleased. Streaky seems curiously apprehensive.

I got to know people I wouldn’t usually meet because they live on the other side of the world, & following them for something like 15 years helped me to get to know them. (I’ve met in some in real life as well.)

Altman claims the company didn’t anticipate people not wanting their deepfakes to say “offensive things or things that they find deeply problematic,” which sounds like a lie but is also indicative of how they recklessly release tech into the world.
OpenAI wasn’t expecting Sora’s copyright drama
It felt “more different to images than people expected.”

I finished the Given #anime over the weekend & now can’t stop listening to the soundtrack:

https://music.apple.com/au/album/%E3%82%AE%E3%83%B4%E3%83%B3-the-best/1776644659?l=en-GB

It is also probably fuelling thoughts about the novel I have no time to write, so that’s not exactly helpful …

Day 7: SCRAMBLE 😵‍💫

#SuperBatober #Inktober #inktober2025
SUPERBATOBER 07: SCRAMBLE -- Uh oh! Looks like there's been a bit of a mix-up. Supergirl is dressed a bit batty and Batgirl is dress a bit...um supery? Meanwhile, poor Bat-Streaky has more concerning matters.

I just saw someone use the abbreviation “AI;DR” and I’ll be laughing for a while.

It’s really hard to describe to people who are not artists how survival mode does *not* inspire creativity, as the myth would have us believe. It suppresses creativity as you try to limit every possible risk – and the opportunities that come with them.

It turns out building habits and stuff actually requires not being in survival mode, who knew?!
(Yeah yeah I did)

Oh. My. Word.

As a kid who grew up in rural Oz, ABC was the only TV station we had until I was 10. The love I had for this weirdo marionette was sky-high.
