It is funny that as more people get duped by AI, the response more frequently seems to be to insist that the models are developing godlike intelligence and we all need to be sooo careful when the real lesson is clearly that the human psyche can get absolutely one-shotted by personalized flattery

HR 7661, the Federal book banning bill, is unfortunately still alive. Please call your reps and say NO ON HR 7661! You can read the bill's full text here and see if your Congressperson is one of the 19 co-sponsors: www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c...

A digital drawing of author Maia Kobabe, a white nonbinary person with short brown hair wearing a patterned blue shirt, who scowls while holding up a copy of eir book GENDER QUEER: A MEMOIR. Maia is saying: H.R. 7661 is a national book banning bill which seeks to remove any book that "involves gender dysphoria or transgenderism" from all public schools in the US. This would ban my books, and any other book with trans themes, from public schools. PLEASE call your House Reps and say: NO ON H.R. 7661!

Castor and Pollux is a 64-page comic about a living deep-space probe that suffers a malfunction on its 1000+ year journey and has to deal with the consequences. It is now complete! You can read the whole thing on its own website here: castorandpollux.neocities.org

As you use AI to simplify easy yet mundane tasks, like writing emails, you get increasingly dependent on it. You get lazy, less skilled, use your brain less, and (you may not want to hear this) get stupider as a result. Don’t let them take away your ability to think. Stop using it. Now.

oh i didn't post this here--this was the very first style test i ever did for hunger's bite, featuring what i'd best describe as a proto version of neeta. originally the book was going to be about a pair of twins, and mostly about the boy, but eventually i concluded she made a better protag

hunger's bite comic page parodying the 'i know what you are.' 'then say it' scene from twilight but the conclusion is 'a homosexual' instead of 'a vampire'

if you're art blocked in a "I don't wanna ruin my 'good' papers/sketchbook/etc." kind of way, then I suggest you either: 1. completely ruin a page of your sketchbook ON PURPOSE 2. draw something on the shittiest material you have on hand

i love making comics BUT my one complaint is it takes sooo long to get to the finished thing. especially at the thumbnail stage. i'm just sitting here going "huehueheh can't wait to read this dumb thing" in front of multiple pages of scribbles which i KNOW are going to take me months to draw.

Hey it's a new year, here's some life advice from me: - any time you think to yourself "I'd love to do [creative endeavor], but I could never" — just do it. Learn embroidery, write a novel, try doing synchronized swimming, take a ballet class. The worst that could happen is you suck at it.
