i just realized i never posted this here Cover art for 'Scholar's Codex' @tuneandfairweather.bsky.social 30x40cm ink on claybord
a black and white scratchboard drawing depicting a scholar sitting at their desk, writing something in a book, lit by candlelight.
In the foreground, we can see piles of books, a cat sleeping, and an armillary sphere. In the background, shelfs are filled with books and and various artefacts. Drapery covered in stars and constellations hangs from the ceiling.

the most annoying thing about these people is they're demanding that you be half-informed and fairly useless at everything. the way we win is specialization. find your things. get SMART about them. get GOOD at fighting for them. someone else's thing doesn't need you to barge in knowing nothing!

Seen some talk of unethical fiction, so here’s my take
Three panel comic titled Unethical Fiction: 
1. Made with AI
2. Printed on human skin
3. The author uses their profits to fund a hate group.

As someone with asthma living in one of these affected areas, I am begging you to wear a mask if you'll be outdoors for any length of time.
Protect Yourself from Wildfire Smoke, a guide from the CDC. Staying inside away from smoke is best. If you just go outside, wear a snug respirator or mask to help filter smoke.

A chart below lists five different types of masks for use, with N95 or P100 respirators and K95 respirators rated as the most effective, surgical masks listed as moderately effective, and cloth masks and scarves listed as not very effective.

Respirators should not be used for children under 2.

absolutely flabbergasting to see people who have so enthusiastically succumbed to despair. like okay denethor, but some of us are gonna actually face the armies of mordor in battle nonetheless.

The thing about Denethor is that he not only succumbed to despair, he wanted to ensure that Faramir succumbed with him. Similarly, a lot of people now are not only succumbing to despair, they're actively proselytizing despair, trying to convince others to join them in their hopelessness. Despair is apparently lonely and they want company in their self-immolation.

btw denethor succumbed to despair bc he was doomscrolling on the palantir. Sauron tweaked his algorithm so he only saw bad news, and he fell into the trap of thinking the world couldn't be saved.

By the time you hit 30, you should be well aware of the fact that you have better shit to do than engage with people who thrive or profit on making you angry. Streamers, podcasters, news agencies, it doesn’t matter. Stop giving your time who benefit from you being miserable.

I cannot stress it enough, but if you pledge even to the smallest tier of artists' Patreon/Ko-Fi/whatever subscription service they are using, you are already doing a lot. If you are regularly sharing art with others, reposting or sending links their way, you are already showing support and care.

I can't believe we're going back to this kind of discourse but: Using references isn't cheating Using 3D mannequins and photo references is STANDARD, even for professional artists Shaming people and pushing them to draw exclusively from memory is harmful and can set back people who are learning

As is the case with virtually every “substance of concern” under the sun, the best way to curtail its use at the population level is probably building healthy communities where people have options, safety, and time for recreation and growth.

You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.
