I am both so excited and so nervous for artfight, it's insane haha. I love events like this, wowie! :D

A movement is calling for an 'economic blackout' on Friday. Here's what to know The People's Union USA, a grassroots group, is calling on Americans to join a national boycott by not shopping for 24 hours on Friday.

Good lord, that last sentence of Viser’s is so deeply contemptible and illustrative of how American journalists have lost their way entirely.

I’m not necessarily saying humans are too dumb to be worthy of our spot at the top of the food chain but I will say that if there were 100 gorillas and one gorilla took 55% of all the bananas the other gorillas would beat that gorilla to death with their bare hands.

Word of mouth becomes more and more important

Maybe it's time to bring back recommendation lists, to websites, books, creators, organizations, schools, who only use human made material and sources, who make art, tell stories and document information that is untouched by gAI

An illustration in a winter setting. A black capped chickadee is standing on the branch of snow covered pine tree. On the birds back is a mouse dressed in a brown tunic, a beaded necklace, a boa of small feathers and a horned headpiece. They are holding a spear.

On a similar note, "your first sketch/idea is never your best" is one of the worst pieces of advice I've ever gotten.

I wasted a lot of time and energy forcing myself past concepts that I felt strongly about because I was made to believe a better one was out there. Often there just wasn't one.

I always tell those trying to get into freelance that saying no to a project is the most powerful tool in your kit. I’m realizing now that this applies to so many more facets of our lives. Gaslighting often removes that ability to say no to someone leaving you feeling stripped of power and agency

I really miss the whimsy I used to have before college when it came to creative work. That play and drive is still internal, but when it comes to putting it to paper, there's this hesitation. This like, question if the idea is worth acting on. It's frustrating. I really miss the whimsy.
