Yet another explainer, for the guys out there that just don't get it:
Women choose the bear, because the bear
doesn't text its friends to come join the attack.

The bear doesn't pretend to be your friend so it
can lure you into the woods and take advantage
of you. The bear doesn't laugh about its crimes.

The bearis at least honest about its intentions.

Bears are relatively harmless when compared
to fraternity brothers, a far more dangerous and
invasive species that needs to be dealt with.

I'm aware that I usually paint solitary figures, so this time around, I wanted my characters to have company. medium: Nicker poster colour on Arches watercolour paper

From talking to the women I'm friends with, yeah, this tracks. Groping, grooming, abuse, being roofied, etc. In my experience too a lot of men either won't or don't want to believe it.

Oh, are we only just now realizing this? I mean, it's been going on for decades. Remember Reagan's 9 Scariest Words or the "Your vote doesn't count" and "Both parties are the same" myths used to suppress voted turnout? Or just endless jokes about how useless, corrupt, and stupid government is?

The formatting of this Beckett quote does still represent resilience and determination, just of a very different sort.
A neon light art piece of Samuel Beckett's famous quote "I can't go on. I'll go on" but spaced - it would seem inadvertently- so that it reads "I can't goon. I'll goon".

Also, for any sort of creative: consume and create art outside of just your narrow interests or genre. The best writers, artists, never just stick one style or medium. It broadens your pool of ideas and makes your own work richer.

So annoyed with myself. I finished the first draft of this book in 22 days. Meanwhile, the second draft has taken...significantly longer and I'm only at Chapter 10 or 21. Then I have to do the third draft and, unless there are significant problems, the fucker's going up for sale. Maybe. I dunno.

In my sci-fi book that would Captain Nell Lane-Yoon. When she was 4 she survived the destruction of Earth by the "Assimilators" (basically the Thing) and spent years afterward in refugee camps. It lead her to a life of service in the Galactic Concordat, eventually becoming an Elite Pathfinder.

A screenshot from Youtube of a video link from the channel "The Second Story." The video title is "The Absolute Degeneracy of Modern Writing" and the teaser image shows a red haired woman in a "thinking" in front of several books. Above and below her is the text "Women's Literature Does Not Exist" in white surrounded by pink.

This woman is insane and not even worth hate-watching.

I just remembered the most insane non-Nazi thing I've seen in the wild: someone who believed curing disability was genocide. Like, that treating my cousin John's paraplegia or my friend Patricia's Crohns was the same as gasing people in Auschwitz. I literally can't comprehend that mindset.

Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.
A crowded broadsheet with way too many fonts. It says:
Forget ChatGPT Flyers

Unlimited fonts
Stretch them
Or cram a really long sentence into one line for no good reason
No whitespace
Mix capital and lowercase

No one gets a PhD in "what if the people in charge of the Pentagon are chud idiots and they collapse the world economy because caring about strategy is Woke and Gay". But that is (self-evidently) a far more likely thing to happen, simply because it only requires stupidity to accomplish.

Certain kinds of smart people tend to have a "sexy apocalypse" problem when it comes to thinking about risk. E.g. skynet turning everyone in paperclips, while bad, is also *kind of cool and fun* at the same time. Where the reality is that most actual disasters are both stupid and disappointing.

So, Banksy bought a used yacht, repaired it and retrofitted it to serve as a rescue boat to save migrants in the central Mediterranean. The whole project cost the artist $860,000. Since 2020, the boat has saved more than 3,800 people. londondaily.com/banksy-funds...

Call me cynical, but this means absolutely nothing to me because at the end of the day white people would still vote for him a third time or any of his adjacent afterwards, simply because he’s white and he has an R next to his name. American History has shown us that and proven it.
