if there is one survival skill I would REALLY like everyone opposed to the fascist GOP to learn right now, it's "do not say things on the public internet that will provide authorities with useful pretenses for coming after you."
what i am saying is "don't say dumb things on the public internet that could theoretically be used to give authorities an excuse to fuck with you"

Reminder that Aaron Swartz was facing 35 years in prison and financial devastation for trying to programmatically download and open the contents of JSTOR, which led to him taking his own life.
But OpenAI is going to scrape all of academia and make billions by plagiarizing it.

Hot take: I'm truly not interested in hand wringing over how much people will miss enjoying the books of men who have turned out to be abusers. I'm far more concerned about the missing art that women haven't been able to create/publish because they crossed paths with such men.

Library funding is almost always justified through patron numbers. The more people a library serves, the more funding it gets. So even if you don't regularly use a public library, get a library card. It costs you nothing and helps everyone in your community.
today is my NINETEEN YEAR anniversary working at my local library
In honor of that, I ask you to get a card to your local public library today!
If you ALREADY have a card to your local public library, check out their digital resources! Their summer programs!
And yeah, they have books too.

okay this is finished for real!! i toned down the weathering a little for this particular piece so it wouldn't distract, but i'll do more for some of the less complicated pinups i think
(also i wanted to put it on inprnt but it's not uploading properly, so you'll have to wait for that i guess 🥲)

The AI trend of “we took this art and expanded it beyond the artist’s intent because *more* of a thing means better” - showing what’s “out of frame” in a shot from a movie, or turning a six word short story into a novella - speaks to what art actually is: knowing what isn’t necessary.
Was listening to a Sixty Minutes segment on AI. The host made it do a short story based on "for sale, baby shoes, never worn" and could not shut up about how good the result was even though it was pure soulless drivel. Think a big key to this racket persisting is not knowing what real writing is.

The second you write it anywhere, there’s a chance it will be shared. This is OG internet safety 101

I like to knit. :) I finished a Cthulhu-themed hat with horrible tentacles, occult symbols, and an Elder Sign at the top. Prepare to have your head eaten!

a lot of stories "inspired by" you've got mail think that the thing people like about it is the romance between rival business owners? not the letters? the pining? the space between the inner and outer self where love can take root? reject modernity, embrace tradition (shop around the corner).

Comics are for everyone. Not “every comic is for everyone.” More like “there is a comic for everyone.” And also “every comic is for someone.”
What else can I overthink for you?

Kendrick Lamar teaches us that, in public debate, refuting your opponent's arguments point by point is less effective than identifying your opponent's single greatest weakness and maintaining message discipline.

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️🌈💖
