if you loved someone's writing and you now find out that their sexual ethics are awful to you... I just want to say that it says nothing about you that you loved their work and nothing about you that you learned from the work. if the work 'changed your life', consider that you did that yourself.

I'm gradually adding more Starter Packs (I still think of some of them as Topic/Theme Packs 😉); just check my "Starter Packs" tab on my profile. Glad to hear they're helping #kidlit people find each other!

I'll revisit each regularly to replace dormant accts w/ those more active on Bluesky.

They should be required to inform customers of the energy use and water impact of every single AI action before someone uses it. Like putting the total calories next to the various options at Five Guys or whatever

Artists are like “I take a break from drawing” and then just draw something that isn’t their project

I’ve been rotating between feeling like all three of these characters lately! Right now I’m the main purple one (tendinitis flaring, brain juiced to the rind), but I hope to be the kitten making magic soon :’) how are y’all feeling, creatively? #kidlitart #illustration

There has been some confusion between Brians on BlueSky and I want to make sure people are asking the correct Brian (me) to add them to the KIDLIT COMMUNITY list for the #kidlitmegafeed

No need to try and contact @brianlarossa.com 💙❤️

The thing non-artists don't understand about art is that it requires the most human aspects of ourselves: our curiosity, our empathy, our sense of wonder, our need to connect, our anger, our sadness, and our silliness too. It requires a mind that thinks ans cares.
