🎃
A 7 panel comic by the artist. First panel: The artist is running from a distance towards a group of people playing basketball in the park. The artist is holding a pumpkin above their head and screaming "AAAAAAAAA". Second panel: The artist has leapt up and is in position to slam dunk the pumpkin into the basketball hoop. Panel three: the pumpkin splatters violently against the backboard of the basketball hoop, sending orange pumpkin goop everywhere. Panel four: the players stand staring, covered in pumpkin goop and shocked. Panel five: the artist stares at them wide-eyed, also covered in the goop and says "it's October FIRST". Their hand reaches towards their face. Panel six: the artist rips off their own face like a rubber mask to reveal a skeleton beneath. Panel 7: the group of players stand shocked and horrified, watching as the skeleton falls to the ground in a pile of bones, the sound effects says "CLATTER".

Not now brain (jots down notes) not the concept for *another* novel! (Even more notes) I have book 4 in my already running series (more, more notes) to write! Chat, what's the opposite of writer's block? (Scribbles more notes)

If you don't require a complex site, Carrd has a $19 a year plan for custom domain.

LRS: I will advise any queer artists on how to get a personal site up and running for $0. (The site may not be $0 but my help will.) Will it be the greatest site ever and on a backend that's super bespoke and custom? No, it won't. But it'll be enough to be your place on the web that no one can take.

Tonight I'll be seeing "Transformers: The Movie" in a theater for the first time since 1986. (I've watched it at home many, many times since.) I could not be more hype for this comfort food of a movie. 'Till All Are One!

They fired so many artists over this too. People who helped make the game iconic were tossed out on the street because the Slop Faucet could do it "decent enough". If you still play Fortnite, you're funding the hyper-acceleration of AI replacing Artists in Gaming

At some point you figure out that "being apolitical" in the public arts always means getting on your knees for the rich, the bigots, the fascists and authoritarians. It never means anything else, and those people are somehow never obligated to set their own politics aside on behalf of anyone else.

Ok, I'll cop to it. I actually like the hardware of the Iphone duo. From the detail they went into during the announcement, the engineers seemed very proud of their work. But I don't want ai fingering through all my shit so unless there's an off switch, no thanks.
