The amount of AI generated art in slides at this conference, primarily used by older scientists, is killing me. Scientists please. Don’t use these ai platforms to make your figures or slides. They look bad and I have yet to see them meaningfully improve the message of talks.

It's pretty ballsy to claim that I am "Anti Artist" for saying that any use of gen ai is unacceptable

I think it's pretty pro artist to think that NO ONE should be generating images(or anything for that matter) be it for inspiration, to paint/work over or even as a placeholder

Huzzah for blocks 🚫

"Pumpkin-fucking party, Furpoc, Saturday 11/1, 9pm- 1am / Something for everyone! / big holes! small holes! insertable!" Flyer featuring two anthro characters fucking a large pumpkin between them. Spot illustrations on the bottom show a large pumpkin with a knotted anthro penis in the bg, a mini-pumpkin with a t-dick behind it, and a long gourd with a vulva in bg.

Another few pics from last months Patreon - Sugar pays taxes, and this is how you treat her?!

People really liked these ones but not as much as the next few ones.
CW: Extreme size diff & big hot hands!

Cover of I JUST CAME FROM HELL. It shows a pregnant Jes holding her belly in front of a negative tree. A pair of bloody hands reach out to grab her.

Page 1 Five Panels 1 - EXT. Wide shot. The entrance to Cebe’s Hand, a wild swampland in the Florida Panhandle. While not as wild as being inside Cebe’s Hand will be. There is still tons of foliage and greenery around. A deer drinks from a nearby bed of water. An alligator lies in wait. JES (Off-Panel): June 6th, 2017. JES (OP): Lisa Leung arrived in Devil’s Garden, Florida with her now deceased fiancé, Jonathan Johnson, to visit his estranged parents, William & Mary, also now deceased. 2 - The Alligator slowly and quietly swims up towards the deer, who unknowingly continues to drink. JES (OP): What was supposed to be a day of reconciliation transformed into a night of horrors. 3 - Suddenly, the deer jerks its head up from drinking. SFX: shf shf JES (OP) A night where only Lisa would survive. 4 - …and darts away before the Alligator can strike. JES (OP): Supposedly, a church fire would claim 33 souls that night. Their bodies have never been found. JES (OP): But that doesn’t explain what happened next. 5 - Lisa, the noise that alerted the deer, walks down a dirt road, naked and bloodsoaked. JES (OP): The following morning, as the sun’s light broke over the horizon… JES (OP): …Lisa was seen stumbling, naked and bloodsoaked, down an old dirt road that leads from Cebe’s Hand, a tangled web of swampland that stretches across the Florida panhandle.

Page 2 Seven Panels 1 - Sheridan Porter, a white man in his late 50s with leather tan skin, drives a middle of the road pick up truck. Not new, but not a beater either. It’s well maintained despite its age. He had a quizzical look on his face as he tries to make sense of this figure he sees ahead. JES (OP): Sheridan Porter, a Good Samaritan, who happened to be driving to his favorite fishing spot, was the first to find her. 2 - Wide shot of the truck pulling over as it nears Lisa. JES (OP): When he noticed the state Lisa was in, he pulled to the side of the road to help. 3 - Sheridan exits his truck as Lisa passes him by. JES (OP): As Sheridan approached, he could hear her talking to herself. LISA (to herself): I don’t know. I don’t know. I took a leap of faith… 4 - Sheridan approaches Lisa who does not notice him at all. JES (OP): If this all wasn’t strange enough, Lisa didn’t even notice him. JES (OP): It was like she was somewhere else. Lost in her own mind. LISA (to herself): This isn’t right. It shouldn’t be possible, but you’re still here. 5 - Lisa collapses into Sherdian’s arms. JES (OP): Sheridan stopped her and asked for her name and she immediately collapsed in his arms. SHERIDAN: Ma’am, are you okay? What happened to you? 6 - She weakly looks up at him. We can see both of them in this panel. JES (OP): She looked at him, finally realizing where she was, and quietly uttered a single sentence. 7 - Extreme close-up on Lisa’s exhausted, bloodsoaked face. JES (OP): M-my name is Lisa Johnson, and…

Page 3 Splash The burned down ruins of The Sacred Heart Church from EAT MY FLESH, DRINK MY BLOOD. Near the back of the ruins, where the altar would be. We see the tree in the image above. Dead and without leaves. Its branches rise above the ruins lifted like hands/arms reaching for the sun. The title logo displayed over it. I JUST CAME FROM HELL

Grokipedia and the Coup Against Reality Itself Grokipedia, the copycat of Wikipedia launched by Elon Musk isn’t just a string of AI generated slop, it is a weapon. The launch of "grokipedia" is a calculated, strategic escalation by the billionaire...

I wrote about how "Grokipedia" is a new front on the war against reality itself. It's an attempt by the oligarchic class to seize the means of knowledge production itself and create a weaponized unreality.

I want to petition my colleges to add mandatory computer classes to general education again. My students rarely know how to use folders, how to save documents, how to install or uninstall programs, how any of the word processors work or just... basic computer stuff. I have to tell them all the time.

The machine says that we can only be useful or expendable.

Communities say that we can be something more--we can be people.

Feed our communities, not the machine.

worth applying to politics as well. when you're criticizing an action people take "taking the better action next time" is only one of the alternatives people will consider, and worth remembering that "not bothering at all" is another.

Hey, so I'm probably pulling TENACITY off Globalcomix.

Globalcomix made a promotional Youtube video for TENACITY using ChatGPT to write their script for it. I did NOT give my consent to them for this and asked for the video to be taken down(which they did).

#BookSky 🩵📚 📢📚

A black and white pencil sketch of two girls holding hands while trick or treating. On the left is Genevieve, wearing a long sleeved, very loose pullover, a scarf with thick stripes, some dark pants and a pumpkin on her head, with holes for the eyes. Hovering above her head is a halo made of two crescents. On the right side, holding Gen's hand, is her best friend Mops, a girl wearing a long, white sheet with cutouts for her arm and her eyes. She turns her head towards Gen. You can see the hem of the torn dress she is wearing beneath the sheet, as well as dark stockings. Her arm is covered in a light longsleeve. Both girls are mid-step.

Kind of #OCtober ✨️🎃

As Halloween is approaching, I asked what OCs I could draw in costumes.
One suggestion was Gen and Mops in a very cute pumpkin-head and beedsheet-ghost version 🥹
Thank you for suggesting them, Anna 💖
Also: yay, new sketchbook!!
