I'm sure those links are fine, but I'm also Gen X, with boomer parents and Silent Gen grandparents, so I'm unsure where you're wanting to take this conversation?

There's a universal constant on book drama. There has to be a bad one from within the community at least once ever 2 months.

I don't think any Hollywood actor would've been allowed fully naked without a C-string in a non-closed off public situation. It seems like an insurance disaster Which is obviously much worse than the situation now when his crotch will be photoshopped into Elder Horrors

Tbh, it's slightly less than I was expecting. Which speaks more about the general price of artist supplies rather than me having too much money on me 🥲

THIS. "Boycotting" an election doesn't send the message that you're unhappy, because it doesn't lose them money like it would for a business. You're not the nation's customer. Refusing to vote sends the message that you're fine with whatever result you get, that other people can decide for you.

Even if for some reason you don’t think generative AI is copyright theft, or don’t care about the industries it disrupts and jobs it destroys, or aren’t bothered by the very low quality of what it actually produces, its environmental impact alone should be enough to quit using it.

For whoever needs to hear it today: taking precautions to avoid catching covid does NOT make you an "anxious" person!! It's not unreasonable to want to keep yourself/others healthy! Anyone who says you're a burden or should "compromise" by putting yourself at risk should go kick rocks for eternity.

I do understand the itch to peek what the readers are saying. What artist wouldn't want to know? But like... it's kind of like trying on clothes in the store dressing room: you're only going to get a distorted view with bad lighting, even on a good day. Don't do it unless you're secure in your work

My default startled interaction is some kind of a threat to the other person's life, in a jovial tone. Then the quick realization we don't know each other like that, followed by spontaneous combustion.

I "love" spending a LOT of time not communicating with other people with my vocal cords (or like, at all), so that when I finally do get into a communication situation, I have no idea how to human anymore, and will just default to being a horror So: I'm sorry if you had to experience that

ICYDK: @scottmccloud.bsky.social's "Understanding Comics" is free to read on the Internet Archive. You should absolutely read it, and let it change the way you look at the art form, especially if you make comics, or aspire to make comics.

It's sad that I'm delighted when I hear a company is willing to wait like 5 seconds to read about a thing someone is gassing them up about before physically jumping om board. It seems like that would be the bare minimum for a business to do. And yet...

God I wish people would just learn to say "I was wrong and misinformed, and I went and spouted opinions when I could've just at down and listened." Am I asking too much? Like it literally costs nothing to not speak on things you don't understand well enough

(2/2) with having a single employer/career your entire life as was the goal with Silent Gen and Baby Boomers. There was also significantly less time dedicated to life that was outside of work or family. Those older generations, for various reasons, just didn't make friends the same way newer ones do

Many younger people may have adopted the mindset of hustling because it gives the illusion of having control over your life (when all else seems out of your control), however, that's not what my post was referring to. Tying your entire life into your work life IS generational, and coincides (1/2)

Hey, remember MOOCs? Remember "the year of the MOOC?" Remember how UVA's board tried to fire the president because she wasn't sufficiently hyped about MOOCs? Remember how Sebastian Thrun (Udacity) said there would eventually be only 10 higher-ed outlets bc of MOOCs? Just thought I'd ask.
