Julia Breckenreid

Me too! (And I'm in Canada)

You and me both! 😄

A book that illustrator Julia Breckenreid recommended artists to read, titled 'Reclaiming Art in the Age of Artifice', written by J.F. Martel.

My friend Ellen gave me this book and - despite the fact that I'm just midway through the introduction - I'm here to say that I recommend you read it! 😄 It's giving me a bit of a lift from the AI blues.

YouTube video by Avi Lewis Why I’m running for NDP leader

Canada's true crisis is the everyday emergency of just trying to get by in an impossible economy.

I’m running for NDP leader so we can transform a system rigged for the rich—together.

We need a government that serves the many, not the money.

Charlie Kirk's death was a tragedy.
But he built his name on provocation and white supremacy.
He said that gun deaths of innocents was "worth it."
On Mark Carney's first day as PM in Parliament Liberals gave Kirk a standing ovation.
Ceding ground to extremism won't make them nicer.

Ha! I love this. It's true!

Wow!

So while I still wish this case would’ve gone to trial, and believe the amount given per work should have been EVEN higher, $1.5 billion in settlement AND the destruction of infringing datasets is still a fantastic start! Congratulations to all those involved as these things are not easy!

F-ing insane.

Hey @sophiepaaslang.bsky.social thanks for sharing my work! 😊

Humans are being hired to make AI slop look less sloppy In the age of automation, human workers are now being brought in to fix what artificial intelligence gets wrong.

WTF are we even doing anymore.

@birdproblem.bsky.social thank you for reposting my work! 😊

The initial title I gave this particular set of ideas was titled "Be Like A Tree", and expanded to "Be Like A..." for the series.

I presented many directions, and the approach that was chosen focuses on the understanding and empathetic awareness that visitors gain through their experiences in Algonquin Park.

The first of three posters created by illustrator Julia Breckenreid for Greg Worsnop. It's a 2025 series of posters to benefit the Friends of Algonquin Park (FOAP), a non-profit charity that dedicates their resources to develop current and future stewards of Algonquin Park.

I had a great time working with Greg Worsnop again, creating a series of posters that will benefit the Friends of Algonquin Park (FOAP), a non-profit charity that dedicates their resources to develop current and future stewards of Algonquin Park.

Thank you so much, I really appreciate being chosen for this research grant and all the hard work you do for writers and illustrators!

Everlasting reputational damage.

A New Kind of Corner Store | Perspectives Journal A grocery model that puts affordability and access ahead of margins could nourish something we’re starved for: a little more stability, and a little more imagination.

What if Canada could make groceries more affordable for underserved communities and support Canadian farmers / food workers all while taking power back from Galen Weston and the price-fixing grocery barons?

@vassb.bsky.social says public grocery stores could be a good idea in Canada too:

This lawsuit is brutal. One of the exhibits is the letter Universal sent to Midjourney, including a quote from a 2022 Forbes interview that I bet midjourney regrets

I wonder if companies diving head first into GenAi will finally get the memo, it’s a huge copyright infringement liability.

And now we know Individuals, groups of folks AND major companies will absolutely sue!

Companies, use GenAi at your own risk.

The way tech is trying to shove AI down our throats is making me even more disinterested and disdainful.

Time for the Liberals to protect Canadian voices as promised Parliament must update the Copyright Act so that Canadian creators are compensated when their works are used for education.
