Things you love hearing from a 20-something: “do you live under a rock???” Yes. Compared to everyone in LA who exposes themselves to the constant burning heat of entertainment media, I live under a rock and I like it here thank you

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads:

The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you.

And our governments are very much the same...

- Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Talent alone can't get the job done. The people who these shills see as "privileged" or "naturally talented" just had ideas in their head they needed to get out, and they found ways to make it happen within their means. They drew a lot of pictures that looked like garbage. But they never stopped.

Three years ago, I was approached by many artists at Hiveworks asking if their mistreatment was normal. That their feelings of horrible self worth within the company was really just a 'them' problem. Turns out, it was unfortunately normal in that we ALL felt that way.

Look at this priceless treasure I got out of a Little Free Library

A 1970s paperback in the Knowledge Through Color series. The subject of knowledge: WITCHCRAFT AND BLACK MAGIC.

A typical awesome illustration (in color, naturally) depicting a witchy cat in Jacobian attire.

A succubus, pictured as a nude woman covered in faces. Her boobs are faces. Her stomach is a big face. Face knees. It's a trip.

The back cover shows a wholesome 70s-era family and promises that Bantam Books "will give your family clear, concise information on a vast range of subjects."

Drawing of Ma Hunkel and the tornado twins(?) taking on Solomon Grundy as the android red tornado lies squished under his massive foot.

Drawing of Howard the Duck getting a ride through the swamp on the back of his buddy Manthing. Some little swamp imps look on from the shadows.

Drawing of Ragman grappling with Solomon Grundy. Grundy is grappling him through a window. There’s grappled glass everywhere.

I have three hearings at three different courthouses today. At the second, someone was sobbing outside the courtroom. They'd asked ChatGPT what to say in Court. They believed what it told them. They lost because it hallucinated, and they didn't know there were no do-overs.
