Letter from Kurt Vonnegut to high school students -

"Dear Xavier High School, and Ms. Lockwood, and Messrs Perin, McFeely, Batten, Maurer and Congiusta:
I thank you for your friendly letters. You sure know how to cheer up a really old geezer (84) in his sunset years. I donโ€™t make public appearances any more because I now resemble nothing so much as an iguana.
What I had to say to you, moreover, would not take long, to wit: Practice any art, music, singing, dancing, acting, drawing, painting, sculpting, poetry, fiction, essays, reportage, no matter how well or badly, not to get money and fame, but to experience becoming, to find out whatโ€™s inside you, to make your soul grow.
Seriously! I mean starting right now, do art and do it for the rest of your lives. Draw a funny or nice picture of Ms. Lockwood, and give it to her. Dance home after school, and sing in the shower and on and on. Make a face in your mashed potatoes. Pretend youโ€™re Count Dracula.

Hereโ€™s an assignment for tonight, and I hope Ms. Lockwood will flunk you if you donโ€™t do it: Write a six line poem, about anything, but rhymed. No fair tennis without a net. Make it as good as you possibly can. But donโ€™t tell anybody what youโ€™re doing. Donโ€™t show it or recite it to anybody, not even your girlfriend or parents or whatever, or Ms. Lockwood. OK?
Tear it up into teeny-weeny pieces, and discard them into widely separated trash recepticals. You will find that you have already been gloriously rewarded for your poem. You have experienced becoming, learned a lot more about whatโ€™s inside you, and you have made your soul grow.
God bless you all!
Kurt Vonnegut"

Taking advantage of its innate speed, it is responsible for capturing lost souls with its metallic power until someone returns them to their place.

First chapter of Cerbero written ๐Ÿฅฑ
It is overwhelming to get into writing. Any artist here who went ahead into writing novels instead of comics ?

People complain about "the government watching us" and then they give personal information to chatgpt ? Sensitive data to a big corporation? WHILE PAYING ?

Ignorรฉ un poco el tema de que la gente da asco porque eso no es tu culpa en absoluto y tรบ no puedes cambiar eso.

ey, la moda influye mucho en estas cosas, no sรฉ cรณmo sueles ir vestido pero darle un cambio al armario podrรญa ayudarte. Ademรกs del ejercicio que como artistas nos viene bien (yo me tengo que poner con ello que tengo la espalda de un abuelo)

โ€œyeah that sucks. have you considered making entirely new art that *doesnt* make payment processors mad?โ€

From the bottom of my heart: no. Iโ€™m not going to waste my time tailoring my creativity and perspective and precious little energy to someone elseโ€™s definition of acceptability
