After taking some needed time away, I’m back seeking new TTRPG Narrative Design work! I love writing character-focused & somewhat macabre stories, and am looking to collaborate on writing with creators who wish to build games with equal parts intensity and compassion in mind ☀️ 🔗 below to contact!

Democratizing the arts looks like universal income, low-barrier grants for both emerging and working artists, well-funded municipal arts & recreation programs, vibrant third spaces, and a well-funded public school system with progressive curriculum. Not a free pass for corporate-owned slop engines.

HEY PUBLISHERS: pay attention to this entire thread; and recognize that a HUGE part of the problem is assigning comics projects to editors with no comics knowledge or experience. Editing comics is a discrete discipline, and when you don't recognize that, you fuck both creators and yourself over.

Another post from a Venezuelan friend:

They speak of justice while ruling through fear.
They speak of sovereignty while stealing the vote.
They speak of dignity while condemning their own people.
I learned that those who insist the most on calling themselves "the good ones" are often the ones most afraid to face themselves. The Maduro regime wraps itself in flags, in anti-imperialist rhetoric, in a false epic where any criticism is labeled as betrayal. They claim to defend Venezuela, yet they stole the people's voice when they refused to respect the elections. That act alone strips away any moral authority.
But do not be mistaken. The fact that a tyrant is real does not automatically turn an external aggressor into a savior.
The United States does not act out of love for democracy. It acts out of interest. It always has.
The language changes, the enemy changes, but the method remains the same: pressure, punishment, displays of power. And as always, the blow is not absorbed by those in power, but by ordinary people.

The Venezuelan people are trapped between two narratives that do not represent them. One that oppresses them from within, and another that exploits them from outside. One that claims legitimacy without real elections. Another that claims justice without taking responsibility for the human consequences of its actions.
I do not defend Maduro. I point at him.
But I also refuse to accept that a global power can appoint itself as a moral judge while its history is written in interventions, sanctions, and broken countries.
Pain does not need propaganda. Hunger does not understand geopolitics. Dignity is not imposed with missiles, nor with dictatorships.
While some sell themselves as the good ones to justify repression, and others sell themselves as the good ones to justify aggression, the result is always the same: more suffering, more rage, more generations learning that force replaces justice.
And once again, pain is inherited.

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

screenshot of a post on facebook from Alex Lamoreaux, depicting two versions of the "same" photograph of a bobcat in front of a pine plantation, one labeled original game cam photo, one labeling AI processed

the markings have been altered on the AI photo, and the head changed and resized

text says:

Oh! A neat goose hybrid posted to ‘What’s this Bird?’ but when you zoom in on the photos the bill details have been too manipulated by AI photo editing to be accurately assessed for which species may be involved.
Scroll on… A cool-looking Red-tailed Hawk that someone is wondering which subspecies it might be - right up my alley! But when you zoom in on the photos literally every feather group has been so heavily manipulated and altered by AI editing that it’s impossible to determine subspecies because the photo is essentially fake now; just a mashup of whatever AI thinks parts of a Red-tail should look like.
Scroll on… WOW! That’s a remarkable trail cam photo of a Bobcat! It almost looks like a painting!… but the head looks oddly small…. hmmmm. After some prodding the original photo is produced and sure enough it had been so heavily altered by AI ‘post processing’ that the photo posted was essentially a digital mock-up with totally different proportions and fur markings. No longer the photo off the trail cam; it may as well have just been ‘created’ by AI from scratch.
This stuff is killing me. My days on social media are becoming very limited. We can’t even trust simple, everyday photos of animals to be real. The wildlife community needs to quit editing with AI, and we need to start calling out photographers that are using it. Our reality is being destroyed all around us.

A ceramic sculpture of a large white wolf with two tails. This is Moro, the Goddess of the Wolves from the film, Princess Mononoke. She is barring her teeth, holding a handmade red tassel with a fortune coin tied to it, and she also has a handmade replica of San's necklace.

This closeup shows the wound/damage to her face. it's a very small amount of chipping as though she's had some teeth removed. But she still has the power to bite.

an interesting conversation from an old sketchbook/journal, still very relevant, today and forever

Sketchbook scan. Written in brush and ink:

I miss art as
physicality
action
movement

control vs. movement
texture, refinement, motion
工笔 vs. 写意 — can the
two coexist in one? precision
vs. spirit — the feeling of
accomplishment and the joy
of existing in the moment.
Where does my work fall?

do I care about the final work?
— (of course I do!)
but do I sacrifice the joy of
letting go in the pursuit of
a beautiful finished piece?
— (I know I don't have to!)
so how do I proceed?
— (maybe I set aside
the "distinction" for now, and
just focus on the feeling?)

in the end, this
moleskine was mostly
journalling than anything
else. I guess that's
okay. May I continue
to seek questions and
answers in my artistic
journey.

end: Sept. 11. 2021

Written 55 years ago, Schulz's heartfelt clarity cuts through the noise, even today. h/t @tisserand.bsky.social

Scan of a typed letter from 1970, from Peanuts creator Charles Schulz, addressed to "Joel Lipton, 622 N. Foothill Road, Beverly Hills, Calif. 90210"

It reads:

"Dear Joel:

I think it is more difficult these days to define what makes a good citizen than it has ever been before. Certainly all any of us can do is follow our own conscience and retain faith in our democracy. Sometimes it is the very people who cry out the loudest in favor of getting back to what they call "American Virtues" who lack this faith in our country.

I believe that our greatest strength lies always in the protection of our smallest minorities.

Sincerely yours,

Charles M. Schulz"
