Linkedin Post from a Pinterest designer reading: "Yesterday I was impacted by the Pinterest layoffs. I was Pinterest's only icon designer and product illustrator.

In his email to the company, the CEO said "weโ€™re doubling down on an AI-forward approach โ€“ prioritizing AI-focused roles, teams, and ways of working". I WAS working on AI projects including the Pinterest Assistant that soft-launched in October. If you haven't heard about that feature launch, you can find it on Pinterest's own newsroom or with a Google search.

I was vocal internally about how our users don't want AI slop or features on the platform, how we as employees are feeling uncomfortable and discouraged about AI, and what I wanted from leadership. Last year, I told my manager I was worried about AI-based layoffs. I was told not to worry. At an onsite, we were told that "in the future", we would all be "managers of AIs". That I would be expected to manage some sort of AI employees, rather than craft and design my own work.

Human-made art and design matter. I am never going to stop creating, even if the "home of inspiration" decides that creators are secondary to profits. 

If you want to support me, you can follow me on threads or instagram @bonniekatewolf where I post my hand-knit sweaters and oil paintings. If you want to hire a human illustrator, designer, or iconographer, my email and DMs are open for freelance, contract, or FTE roles."

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.

Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

Three panel comic. Panel 1: the stage of the Jerry Springer show with an audience watching. A peeved looking person sits in a chair. Jerry Springer stands next to him and says, โ€œwe have with us: your ancestor who crawled out of the ocean 375 million years ago!โ€ Panel 2: the incensed audience boos loudly. Panel 3: security attempts to break out a fistfight between the onstage guest and a prehistoric fish, the Tiktaalik.

Three drawings of my interpretation of DC comics character, Starfire, a young woman with green eyes, orange-ish skin, and long reddish hair. Sheโ€™s wearing all lavender.

Throwback to some drawings of Starfire I did for fun. I still really like them.

Panel from Spidey Super Stories #39 (1978)

Mary Jane watches the television frowning with a clenched fist. On the TV a reporter holds a microphone and turns to see four women asleep on the floor.

'Meanwhile...'
Reporter: Mastermind's SLEEP SODA made the marchers sleep.

MJ thinks: 'Another PLOT to stop women.'

MJ: "Th-This wasn't exactly what I had in MIND! I-I thought you meant a PARK or something!"
Spider-Man: "What could be more private than the top of the Empire State Building?"
