fun fact, when we had to practice lettering in architecture school (i was there a year before i switched to graphic design.) i used the jabberwocky poem. it was far, far more fun than the ipso lorem thing and it cracked up my prof.

’twas brillig, and the slithy toves did gyre and gimble in the wabe; all mimsy were the borogoves, and the mome raths outgrabe.

is she hoping to outlast another head of lettuce?

lol

also, your brain is awesome.

i mean, ai does other harms too—destroying the environment, taking all the drinking water and so on. but there’s this too.

which is why when ai companies and others steal art, it does so much harm.

This is like Mr Rogers picking up Mjolnir

An image of the front cover of Wooing the Witch Queen shows a sinister witch queen in a spectacular beaded dress embracing her handsome and adoring new librarian (in a black wizard's robe) inside a library of magic filled with crows and masks and flying books. Above and beside it is this snippet from the book: “...Mmm?” One bushy green eyebrow rose meaningfully. Saskia followed his gaze across her outfit: the comfortably worn old grey gown covered by a sensible apron, which itself was covered with stains from old experiments, and a cheerful purple handkerchief that held her long, thick hair out of danger’s way. She liked that handkerchief. It had been sewn for her by a wickedly bawdy old goblin chieftain last year. She thought it looked quite well against her pitch black hair and pale skin. She sighed, though, as she accepted the inevitability. “You’re right, of course. As usual.” Shaking her head, she stepped back from the lectern where she kept her notes. “I’ll be ready in a quarter of an hour.

This week's Saturday snippet comes from Wooing the Witch Queen, which you can grab now in ebook, paper, or audiobook: stephanieburgis.com/books/wooing-the-witch-queen

oceans look like massive junkyards. so… that checks.

also my letter about the anthropic ai lawsuit came in the mail at exactly the same time.

i’m not sure it that’s a good omen. lol. maybe it’s hinting at the number of copyright violation lawsuits about to pummel anthropic and/or ai companies in general.
