I’ve turned 35 today! The best present for an artist is their art reposted, and I’d be grateful for that too ) especially since I’m currently open for new opportunities :3

Would anyone in the Seattle area who is going to Worldcon be interested in being A sided guide during convention? I am blind and I would love to meet my favorite author Leigh Bardugo! The catches I only found out about this last night and I don’t even know if I can get tickets still.

Oh No, What is Jim Acosta Doing? The former CNN host "interviewed" an AI avatar of one of the Parkland shooting victims.

"Real journalism would mean examining why we're suddenly cool with making the dead into chatbots. Real journalism would ask hard questions about consent (the dead can't give it), about what happens when we normalize conversations with digital ghosts." www.readtpa.com/p/oh-no-what...

Here's a lovely photo of a plethora of my fabric art creatures. They're on green fur with a galaxy print fabric in the background. There's a black cosmic moth with a gray face, twinkly red eyes, and a wide smile full of sharp teeth. She's covered with embroidered stars and planets of various sizes and colors. There's a watermelon ghost covered with embroidered pink flowers sitting on a pink wire chair. There's a watermelon ghost bag and a small homunculus sitting on a pink and green striped chair. There's a tooth creature with a wide open mouth and four orange eyes and lavender eyeshadow. There's a black phantom with a gray face and wisps of every color of the rainbow.

Hey Bluesky, could you help me spread the word about my Big Cartel shop? A sale or two would be a colossal help.

All of my creations are designed, hand-sewn, hand-embroidered by me. Each takes many hours to make.

Feeling like I should queue up Pacific Rim so the big fight at the end starts at 1am

Why? Oh, no reason. Just under a tsunami warning.

This is great and true for all types of publishing: small press, big 5, self/indie, whatevs. Because of GRRM I hear so many readers say "pfft I won't read series until they're finished." There are so many good series out there and it's wrong to take out Winds of Winter blues on the rest of us.

CEO Brags That He Gets "Extremely Excited" Firing People and Replacing Them With AI A CEO who advises other CEOs on how to use AI to replace human jobs doesn't seem to be possessing a whole lotta guilt β€” or self-awareness.

Remember when the nation came together as one to cheer and celebrate when a CEO was gunned down in the street?
I just remembered that joyful day for some reason.

Checked out of the hotel, got the car into the convention center garage before THE MAN closed Harbor St and was first in the door at my fave breakfast place when they opened at 7. The final day of #SDCC is going off like a well-oiled machine.

Well, except for the diarrhea, I guess.

I dropped a poster tube in the #sdcc exhibit hall trying to get a signature. The poster inside has 2 dozen autographs collected at events in multiple states and countries. The tube has a name and address on it, it’s easy to id; but I’m devastated, I feel like such an idiot. #sdcclostandfound
