A busy stall of flowers to wish you a very happy Easter / bank holiday weekend! 🌷✨ I painted this serious-about-plants tapir recently using gouache, something I’ve been wanting to use more of 🎨🖌️

As billionaires, the wealthy class and ai tech bros try to privatize knowledge and erase human curiosity, another form of resistance is to stay curious. Do your own research. Do not be spoonfed your ideals or opinions. Use your library. Think for yourself. It's very important that you do.

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.

I forgot to post these, but months ago I did some tests for stylized dialogue in POTBRR. My goal is to make this visual novel feel as much like reading a 70's Showa-era manga as possible! 🖤

Chihiro having dramatic inner monologue, "She can have the role... over my dead body!" with spiky text balloon.

Chihiro being shocked agaisnt a black background with a white shock shape behind her. The black, drippy text box reads, "No... it's not possible!"

Chihiro in her dressing room, looking neutral. Her cloud-shaped word balloon reads, "Finally. Some nice, calm, normal dialogue"

Did y'all forget already that the Outlier game uses genAI?? (Screenshot from their own FAQ). A month ago they deactivated account because they got so much pushback, then had a crashout and used another acct to troll people about it. Just a head's up for anyone who wants to easily avoid AI products.

Screenshot from Outlier game site's FAQ page. Text says: Does Outlier use AI? Yes, the way we use every other tool here: writing and debugging code, digging through the data, checking word lists against dictionaries, drafting things we then rewrite. It decides nothing. The game, the rules, the scoring, which features ship and which get thrown out, which words get added and which get refused, all of that is ours. Every line of copy on this site was written or rewritten by a person, including this one.

I also ask people just be respectful of that? It's wild how defensive people get whenever I bring this up every year, because it's so "evil" for me a black person, to feel wary around certain topics involving an ounce racism. Alternatives: creepy, scary, ghoulish, eerie, haunting, macabre, etc

Many still don't get it, but disabled people get help to have a semblance of an OK life and a tiiiny bit closer to the comfort abled people have the privilege to live through. No one desires disability as a cool feature to show off. We just reclaim the fact we have a right to live, just like you

A little floppy-eared dog looking through a telescope at many shooting stars from under a bridge. The bridge is covered in ivy, and the yellow and white stars are huge and flying down in front of the bridge. The main colors are teal, blue, and yellow from two inks.
