An older self portrait with a bonus little guy who was initially conceived to represent my sense of creativity, but maybe it would be more accurately described as my diagnosed ADHD...

That was definitely the first year I remember looking at the Oscars and thinking: "Wow, really?" Some of the hits: - you can call the twist in the first ten minutes - weird toxic dynamic between the two MCs played off as romantic - CASTING A HOLOCAUST CAMP NAZI SUPERVISOR IN A SYMPATHETIC LIGHT

Reminder from a Pittsburgher who was at one point Mr. Rogers neighbor: “Look for the helpers” was intended to be advice for his usual audience, children. We’re grown ups now. We’re supposed to be the helpers.

These are from a set of sketchbooks I filled while traveling in Vienna right when I graduated from college. Makes me want to bust out some watercolor pencils to see if I still got the goods.

Just the text in the screenshot alone reads as a Investor Pitch Packet for the big fish they desperately need to attract. No one involved cares about the art they own nor the artists they exploit.

webtoons recently went public (which i'm sure is not at all related to how underwater they are), so of course they are investing in some nice buzz pieces to generate investor interest. This highlighted line is for those people: investors. Webtoons has never been a business for artists.

Context! A couple months ago I had to fire some clients after a year of working on what was supposed to be a great project and opportunity. Happily, the situation is (mostly) resolved, and the people involved are going to have a harder time exploiting the next person who joins the project. 👍

By the way! If you are at all involved with crypto or AI in any capacity, you will be blocked! I don't care if you just play with things or just express an interest - these things are antithetical to supporting the arts and artists, including me!

"Lolita Podcast" is a ten episode deep dive into every echo and aspect of this book, its societal impact at the time it came out, the author's horror and amusement at people who misunderstood it, and the self report it has become.

Nope, this dude was an all American Midwest white guy. Spoke a little bit of Spanish to communicate with his coworkers/subordinates. But English was his first language.

The only part of the debate I've seen is a TikTok of a phone pointed at the TV with the volume jacked up so we can hear Trump fart in the middle of answering a question, and that's just about as much as I need.

WHY. Just WHY. Sure, they fit and you guarantee some job stability because those stinkers are going to CONSTANTLY break because of water damage. Don't you take pride in your work? Don't you want to do a good job?? I don't get it.

Ha! No photos, but they're all set up in little vertical shelving next to the TV. They're hooked up to a splitter and everything so if the inclination ever strikes us they are ready to go. I'm really glad I've hung onto them.

One time the AC repair guy was at our place and kept complimenting my husband for all his retro gaming systems (that were mine) and his Gundam mechanical keyboard (that I made for him). Anyway he installed our AC unit upside down and didn't put in a refrigerant and that's getting fixed this week.

“AI” is the culmination of the tech industry. Every time you use it, you destroy the environment, erode labor protections, endanger workers overseas, enrich the ruling class, and make something unforgivably worthless, all at the same time – and it's all hidden from you in a frictionless distraction.
