My end result with ai art is "As long as I keep my eyes on what I'm making and do my best and make things I'm proud of and never think of it too hard I don't fall into absolute despair." When I think about it I literally stop in my tracks and stifle a scream and fall into deep deep self loathing

I frequently see "AI" boosters implying that LLMs are simply an innate and superior part of coding now, inescapable, and that literally all programmers agree with them. And, well. That, too, is a form of propaganda

Looking at my software peers in 2026 I see fatigued faces, I see frustration, and I see a lot of people looking for a way out of an industry that seems poised on the brink of collapse. LLMs are being pushed on us at every turn, most people seem at best frustrated by them, and ultimately they seem to appeal most to people who see the production of software as a purely mechanical means to an end. They are antithetical, however, to the idea of software as a craft, or something requiring both initial and ongoing care. As an expression of the soul.

When Third Way says that Dems should hold off their anti-trans strategies, you know things are changing. The organization tends to be more centrist, and they are noticing the same thing the far-right is... the Republican anti-trans campaign cycle is NOT working this year.

✨ Our visual novel in 4 screenshots! ✨ The Phantom of the Black Rose Revue is a romance/horror/drama game inspired by The Phantom of the Opera and Rose of Versailles 🌹 🖤 Play the demo: yamino.itch.io/black-rose-r...

Screenshot from our game, made in a shojo art style. Chihiro, a young woman with long curly hair is looking vulnerable, eyes closed. She's thinking "Everything you've done for these past few years has led you to this moment."

Chihiro is talking with another a woman with a black suit and short black hair. They're looking into each other's eyes. Chihiro is thinking: "Hm, what do I feel comfortable telling her?). The scene is framed with sparkles and roses.

Chihiro is in the Revue's backstage, in front of mirrors, dressings, drama costumes (including the outfit of Sailor Moon) and a wig of Sailor Moon's hairstyle. The player, as Chihiro, has three choices: look in the mirror, check her station, check the drawer.

Two characters are in a corridor, backstage: a tall man with dark short hair and technical tools, and a woman with long black hair and bangs, named Tomiko. She looks angry and very upset, and is saying: "What did you say?"

Hey folks, I had a big thread about AI and art that really popped off, and now I have some attention, so why don't I make a little thread of upcoming indie games I'm looking forward to that have neat artstyles? And a lot of these games will have demos to check out, so maybe give them a try?

Screenshot from Tenebris Somnia showing a creepy guy with head candles bathed in shadow

Screenshot from Hymm to the Eyeless God, showing a party based RPG with a top down view of a path through some woods, and it appears as if one of the insect like player characters is casting a spell.

Screenshot from Mandrake showing an isometric view of the interior of a building, a character called Nessa's portrait is on the left side and says "Thanks for coming to Pevenny with me Morgan. I'd have hated doing that alone."

Screenshot from Hark The Ghoul, there's a gaslight street lamp in a dark alleyway, on a crate sits a big wheel of cheese, underneath the lamp is a small rat like guy who might be cheesed to meet us.

The Heritage Foundation laid out how they were going to rescind Title IX, the law that prohibits sex discrimination in education, by first targeting trans people's participation in sport. Capitulating on the human rights of transgender people is catastrophically falling at the first hurdle.

So what's cool(?) about this article is that it completely skips over long COVID. Yeah, age = greater risk of contraction and death. C19 hospitalizations are down... but infection rates haven't fallen *that* much. And it still has a 10% chance of causing long COVID, a rate which has NOT decreased.

A digital drawing of me making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with a knife on the counter covered in peanut butter, and to the side is a sink. A thought bubble above my head depicts the knife being washed in the sink, but instead I'm holding the open jar of peanut butter under the faucet about to turn it on.

I feel this sometimes, too. It's burnout from so much scary shit happening, a traumatized reaction. You're scared, freezing up in self-defense. But remembering it's not all bad is important. Despair and defeat are easy. Hope and collective action is work. Rest up, we have this, together.

I really love that people get such peace, joy, and happiness out of seeing my work and having it in their homes. It sounds sappy—and maybe a li'l woo-woo—but I think part of it is because my soul, spirit, and love goes into making each and every single one of my pieces. And it's felt through space.

Ways you can help: - find out where/when local art markets are happening and raise a posse to go with you. - contact artists you already like to see how they are selling this season and the best way to support them. - commission anyone who takes coms NOW, it may be already too late for Xmas.
