I think this is the best shirt design I've done all year roryblank.bigcartel.com (I am reposting this because the previous version included a typo, but I am also not deleting that post lol)
A cute drawing of a tiger wearing a little hat and trousers and a shirt, fishing on a small island, with text saying "I don't actually have to do anything at all
I am perfectly contended living without purpose"

I had a conversation w a Lyft driver a few weeks ago that I still think about. I hope this musician, eager to share her art, finds her way to teaching. While the conversation started rocky, Im glad she got an opportunity to talk about her ambitions. Piano teachers are way more valuable than A.I.

Backpack is the son of former Fat Bear Week champion Holly… his name was inspired by his habit of climbing onto his mother’s back when they swam the river. “Unlike many large, adult, male bears, Backpack hasn’t shown much aggression toward his competitors,” his profile reads. jrnl.ie/7177733

A sketch for a new skirt design, titled Hunger. #WIP #art #original
A mock-up of Maya modeling a pleated midi skirt with a deep red background and dramatic black, tentacle-like shapes filled with eyes and toothy details. Beside the mock-up is a close-up of the eerie red-and-black pattern, with an inset showing an alternate lighter colorway. Text notes that the mock-up may differ from the final product.

I have friends younger than 38 who look like this and they're wonderful people, and some of the worst people I know are conventionally attractive. Being hateful and misogynistic or kind and compassionate is who you are inside, not what you look like.

They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...
“Let’s say there’s a world or time line I exist in where A.I. has been subject to regulation. It is ethical. It has no footprint environmentally,” the novelist Jeff VanderMeer, a prominent critic of A.I., told me over the phone. “With those guardrails in place, would I read an A.I. book? All I can say is no. And the reason is, in part, because I want to read something coming from a particular mind.” Using A.I., he said, “feels like a betrayal of the whole point of why you’re a writer.”

Do this with Vita, Switch, Switch 2, and Evercade games as well. Additionally, the 3DS has a homebrew application for fixing corrupt data, and the Switches have a feature built in to do this. Unfortunately nothing for the Vita.

It's time for the bi-annual 3DS game cartridge recharge. For those of you who own a 3DS and haven't taken any steps towards game preservation, don't forget to boot up all your games and let them run for a bit (I'm just doing 30 min to be sure) so the cartridge memory doesn't corrupt!

Want to conserve #birds, #mammals and other vertebrates? Then don’t forget their #insects. Our new Nature Reviews Biodiversity paper explores the many ways vertebrates depend on insects — for food, shelter, protection and much more. I’ve written about it here: jeffollerton.co.uk/2026/09/30/w...

This is why I've always disagreed with the idea that "art" is purely subjectively defined. Art is a communication. The listener/viewer completes that communication in recieving it, but it is the intentionality of the creator that makes it art. "AI music" is no more music than traffic noise is.

Since we’re doing another round of “AI will destroy humanity” doom-hype, it’s a good time to announce a new paper myself and my postdoc advisor just had accepted by BioSocieties on just this. TL;DR: almost all the “AI can make bioweapons” literature comes ultimately from the Effective Altruists.

Mamdani is 100% right here, despite some people reading into this things that are not said here. Antisemitism is a scourge upon the world. Doesn't need any qualification or quantification or caveats or what-abouts. Any antisemitism is too much antisemitism.

There’s always going to be someone better, faster, and more skilled than I. But no one is going to have the same artistic voice as mine. Creating isn’t a competition, it’s a form of communication and connection. It’s a vulnerable thing, but it’s beautiful that way.

The main reason you haven’t heard about campus sexual violence in a few years is because Trump and SCOTUS have made it much, much harder for survivors to come forward. You might vaguely remember that Title IX was a big battleground in his first term. And that we lost.

iasmin omar ata | delta 🌟 @deltahead.bsky.social · 28/09/2026
i am so beyond thrilled to launch my new webcomic: PRAYERS TO THE FUTURE! it's a muslim-themed post-apocalyptic adventure about coming together to breathe life into a struggling world. the first update is now live at prayerstothefuture.com - the comic is free to read + updates every monday. ENJOY 🧿
an illustration for the launch of my (iasmin omar ata) new webcomic PRAYERS TO THE FUTURE. the main character, irfan, poses with an obsidian sword. the rest of the comics cast (a mystery for now!) is depicted in various shapes behind her. the title of the comic is written outside of a circle behind irfan, with "by iasmin omar ata" written on the underside of the circle. within the circle, a post-apocalyptic desert is shown, with a tall obisidan obelisk at the center and a giant crystal floating atop it.
