Verbal abuse of children is too normalized. Say the same kind of stuff to another adult and see if you don’t get popped in your mouth.

This is why I think it's so important to push back against the personification of LLMs. If a person shoots someone while wearing a hand puppet, they can't claim the hand puppet did the murder.

Getting an ND or accomodations mentor or counselor in college should be an integrated part of the transition to college in the same way as housing, classes, the entire process. Not an extra project on top, which then might not happen. #SNS2026

Trans and GNC people are constantly tasked with saving Democrats and are asked to sacrifice ourselves for the greater good, but also we aren’t really that important of a minority when it comes to votes so actually it’s fine to leave us out of the tent. Which is it? Either you need our votes or not.

The rise of "far-right" parties across the democratic world is partly a result of progressives not saying, "I refuse your premise about a 'crisis' of immigration. In fact, the more immigration the better" loudly and often in a unified voice.

"AI haters"? When we see an author/artist use genai, we are not jealous. We are not envious. We do not want to be like you, who has lost all taste and respect for the arts. We are disappointed. We are disgusted. For us to be a hater you must have something we want, and we want none of it.

“Allée of the Ancients” Available as a giclée art print in my Etsy shop! You can find it here: theartofrobhusberg.etsy.com/listing/7794...

“Allée of the Ancients”
giclée art print

This is a fanciful scene of a small cat looking up at tall, weathered, vine-covered statues of his ancient ancestors in a winding, dark alley of overgrown trees and hedges. It is an atmospheric, mysterious, yet whimsical scene.

The idea for this piece came when, on one of my walks, I spied a cat sitting in a garden, looking up an old wooden pedestal at a large, weather-worn ceramic cat perched on top. I had just received my DNA results from Ancestry.com a couple days prior. The two things instantly blended together in my mind.

This piece was rendered with dip pen and ink and Paynes Grey watercolour.

PASSAGE: VERGE (1989)  Acrylic on Canvas - 48" X 36"   There are other, more metaphysical meanings to be derived from this painting, but at the time I was doing it I had decided to "step off the brink," professionally speaking. 1/2 #art

A mysterious woman, hooded in windswept robes, stops at the edge of a rocky outcrop. With palm up, she holds out her hand, and above it floats a transparent sphere containing a solitary flame. At the edge of the cliff, she stands framed by a tall arch in the distance. A circle—an echo set above the vessel she holds—sits high in the arch. Anchored by elegantly curving supports, it suggests something mystical as if it may not exist physically in this world but rather serve as a portal to the next. Behind, blue skies fade to a peach streak across the horizon and the misty hills rolling below. She seems poised to step out into open air but she turns her head back, partially revealing her face. Her thoughts linger on where the next step will lead. Will it be over the edge and down? Or does this passage lead to someplace else?

Related to knowing how to talk about art, but I clock a lot of irreverence and self-deprecation over one's art as a mask for being embarrassed at feeling too strongly or a piece feeling too vulnerable. Feelings are tough! But I want people to honor their own work and see their full vision realized

As general advice: 1. Anyone can say they are a publisher and doesn't mean they're one 2. If a press has shit covers, no advances, no distribution, they're not doing you any favors. This is a business relationship. They have to business 3. You have power and don't have to accept shit--

For people who think that AI is inevitable or worry it is, I made starter packs of game devs refusing to use AI, and in less than 24 hours had more than 200 devs ask to be included. Creatives don't want this and won't use it. You just need to support those who won't use it.

LLMs impress the writers who do not want to write, the coders who don't want to code, the researchers who don't want to research, and the lawyers that don't want to actually understand case law. Those that desperately tell you how powerful Al is and that you simply must use it are looking for you to validate their own laziness or distaste for effort, and those who are impressed with LLMs' outputs tend to be people with low standards.

Cut from a circular saw blade, the head silhouette of a pileated woodpecker with a luminous copper eye. Their fluff is painted with paint pens and the crest is a wild pattern of reds.
