I know it’s not everything, but it’s something: how each of us, in our little spheres of work & community, can help foster & sustain places of care, decency, & intelligence even when powerful people celebrate venal, coarse, mendacious practices. What a gift, to be able to do something so worthwhile

for folks who didn’t know, ive spent hours and hours compiling 10+ years of my manga lettering knowledge and putting it up for free on my github 👇

Silver Sprocket, under owner Avi Ehrlich, made a name for itself as an artist-friendly comics publisher. Now it finds itself $300,000 in debt, embroiled in disputes, and teetering toward an uncertain future. What went wrong?

i'm not a "silly little artist/writer" "just trying to make my silly little art" and i don't think you are either. my art isn't frivolous bullshit. it has a place in the world and the world affects it. i'm not just glancing sheepishly at a distant burning house— i live inside it. don't you?

it rubs me the wrong way when i see some artists repackaging historically free/low cost art events as thousand dollar experiences. community building shouldn't come with a prohibitively expensive price tag!

Discord recently partnered with a Generative AI called DomoAI and apparently they’re in every server but sneakily don't show up in the member list. However they still use the art/images sent in the server to train their AI. To bypass this, people have found the AI’s ID so we can ban them. The AI has already been banned in this server, but for anyone here who has a server or is in another art/creative space, please use this advice and ban the following ID using the /ban command. 1153984868804468756 It may also be smart to start watermarking your pieces.

More on this btw. Potential way to kick it from your servers.

The ID is

Remember, never believe an AI bot's claims that they won't train your stuff without permission. They will.
