At an Easter family thing and an adult man is watching something called “cartoon recaps” where an AI voice relays a synopsis of episodes of Avatar the Last Airbender and I guess my main thing is if you don’t have enough time for the entire episode of cartoons you can probably just not worry about it

@scumbelievable.bsky.social Hello Gretchen, just wondering if you have plans to publish Wyrm as a book or otherwise in a single collected format? I seem to remember you mentioning that in the past and there was something about illustrations as well?

After nearly three decades, a Minnesota summer camp for kids with HIV/AIDS is closing and up for sale... because retroviral drugs are so effective that there aren't enough campers. Science works, y'all. www.startribune.com/closure-of-n...

Closure of northern Minnesota camp is ‘the greatest story.’ Here’s why.

Willow River, Minn., camp One Heartland is for sale after serving kids there for nearly three decades.

in retrospect the history of television as a medium was always derivative slop and we all got to exist in a short bubble between the lead poisoning era and the AI slop years where sometimes something got made for people who can focus their full attention on a small screen for an hour

One reason I don’t like genAI is I think people have gotten way too comfortable passively consuming huge quantities of media and I think genAI is another big stride toward anti-intellectualism and abdicating thinking

Man goes to doctor. Says he's depressed. Doctor says, "Treatment is simple. Great clown Pagliacci is in town tonight. Go and see him. That should pick you up." Man bursts into tears of joy, realizes how much happiness he brings into the dark and uncertain world. "I am Pagliacci. Thank you doctor."

a triumph of memetic engineering

A meme in the style of the "you wouldn't steal a car" meme, but instead there are four separate sections of text. They read, respectively: You wouldn't enter a hospital. You wouldn't talk to the receptionist. You wouldn't talk to a doctor. You wouldn't comfort your grieving wife.

I know I reposted this comic earlier but I genuinely think this is one of this most important messages for people to understand about the current media landscape. It’s not that easy digestible art exists, it’s that they want us to socially police ourselves into ONLY creating easy digestible art

A 4 page comic about drawing, made for the Portland Public Library's new exhibition, "Why We Make Comics: Reflections on Storytelling" If you live in Portland ME, you can see this comic, as well as 3 others by other cartoonists, on display starting October 6! www.portlandlibrary.com/lewis-gallery/

What do you see when you see a bird? Is it the grace of its flight? The intelligence in its gaze? The sharpness of its beak? The softness of its down? Each of us has been gifted a way of seeing birds, unique to our eye alone. When we are in the woods together, I can see my bird, but not yours.

But what if we draw our birds for each other? And the next time either of us is in the woods, we find our capacity to see has grown? Your drawing can teach me to notice strength, softness, swiftness, grace, I otherwise would miss. It does not need to be a "good" drawing. It has energy and life simply because it is yours.

What abundance, to be surrounded by the drawings of other people! Each overlapping in ways, but at their core, inherently unique. Each one, in its own small way, the gift of sight. Making our perception of the world a little sharper, brighter, deeper.

Ours is an age where, increasingly, capital would like to teach us how to see birds. Smooth, flat, digestible. But real nourishment will always come from each other. I want to see birds the way people do. I want to see birds the way you do.
