Hey, I’m a visual artist currently looking for freelance work. I work mainly on environments and game assets, including backgrounds, props, and 3D models. I’m especially interested in projects where I can build out game worlds and environments. Here's my Portfolio: www.behance.net/stienvisual

Are you a graphic designer or artist whose opportunities for visual work are under threat from AI? There must be larger community efforts to promote freelance artists and designers, but let’s do our small part: if you’re a graphic designer looking for work, drop a link below!

As an editor, I need help understanding something: Do YouTube content creators really misspell thumbnail captions intentionally because of the belief that it increases engagement? Or is there something about the apps that discourages proofreading? Grateful for insight from actual YT creators

As fine as TV is today, I’m surprised at how often I hear line readings that don’t feel quite right—words delivered in a way that feels misaligned with their meaning. Just now I turned on an old Law & Order and realized: I don’t think I ever heard a bum reading on that show.

People said Occupy was a failure and it ushered in 15 years of actual political engagement on economic inequality People like to call BLM, Abolish ICE, etc failures and, no. Spontaneous mass protest moments rarely win immediately. But they change the political environment and lay the groundwork.

Every time I see some writer proudly say they use AI, I feel like Veronica Cartwright watching Donald Sutherland at the end of Invasion of the Body Snatchers, when he opens his mouth and lets out the unearthly shriek that reveals he, too, has become a pod person

Donald Trump doesn't own the White House. He didn't own the East Wing. The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool is not his, either. They are ours and his acts of destruction are attacks on all of us.

This—a clever play on Thatcher's famous comment about socialism—is an excellent way to think about the large and growing chasm between stock market performance and the everyday economics of people's lives.

Delighted to announce that I am the new editor and director of BUNNY, an imprint of Fonograf Editions, which will now publish "queer writing out of bounds--fiction, creative nonfiction, poetry, and the uncategorizable"🌺🌸🐇🌸🌺🐇🐇 First two books coming in 2027... Yes, get ready for trouble!!!🔥💥💕🌠💐

Fonograf Editions is thrilled to announce that renowned author Mattilda Bernstein Sycamore (Terry Dactyl; Touching the Art; The Freezer Door) has joined our team as the new editor and director of our imprint BUNNY

Under Sycamore's direction, bunny will publish "queer writing out of bounds-- fiction, creative nonfiction, poetry, and the uncategorizable"

The first release under Sycamore's direction will be Corinne Manning's debut novel, Dirty Joke, which will be published in March 2027.

A fable, a family expose, a genderqueer New Jersey turnpike adventure story, and a reverse magic trick, Dirty Joke upends conventional tropes about chronic illness, survival, and legacy

The second release under sycamore's direction will be a mischief, award-winning author Jennifer Natalya Fink's new novel, forthcoming in September 2027.

A Mischief mingles Borscht Belt comedy with dark Brechtian absurdity to deliver a mythic cautionary tale exploring fame, obsession, and intergenerational trauma at the brink of our eco-crisis

UK publishing generated £7.4 billion in revenue last year. Compare that to: Premier League football: £6.6 billion Home entertainment: £5.6 billion UK film industry: 2.8 billion Now tell me again why authors don't deserve fair contracts and better pay.

A key element of why we fall helplessly in love with any given artwork— simple or complex, comic or tragic, high or low— is our awareness of the inspiration, the effort, the risk, the sheer improbability involved in making it.

Listen I read a lot, and a lot of it is dull as hell, and I’ll tell you one thing I’ve learned: tedious writing is almost always a product of the writer conveying, rather than discovering. When a writer is discovering, or sharing discovery, no editor on earth can scrub out the vividity & joy.

I’m not big on scolding prescriptivism these days. Language is fluid; we use it as we wish and it rises to meet our needs. But clarity still has value. And in contexts like this headline—and countless online real estate listings—for the love of god please say “New York State” unless you mean NYC.
