look ill stand by it. I don't think it makes a lot of sense to argue about which is 'worse' and I think the result is different. but i think 'what happened to us' wrt phones, online, social media, shortform video, whatever, needs to be talked about in context of the og screentime

screenshot of a tumblr post from user “wildmansters” The thing that really boils my potatoes about Al in general is that I have been a creative professional for over a decade now and the devil has ALWAYS been in the details. Big and small, I've had single-person businesses rip me to shreds over how their colors turned out on newsprint, and have worked with huge companies with THICK brand guidelines with every detail of their brand identity laid out and enforced with an iron fist. But I guess all of that stuff doesn't matter anymore? Who gives a fuck if this Al generated baby has six fingers, that mom-and-pop shop is still going to use it. That rug from Temu says Happy Thanksgivirg? Oh well haha it's just a silly funny thing now (nevermind that you never would have given a B-grade item from a craft show the same consideration). I don't actually care that the Al Coca-cola ad has a truck that changes size every scene, but I can't help but think about how, if it had been some poor underpaid artist, they would have been laughed out of the building. I don't really know how to put it in a succint way but it just feels all the more obvious how much more grace and flexibility has always been possible but never offered.

i know WHY this is but that just makes it even more of a kick in the pants lmao

Any time corporate executives are in a room together and don't know they're being recorded, the transcript is like: "Christ, I hate our customers. We're agreed that we all hate our customers? Let's lie to the IRS, criminally. Did I mention the Holocaust never happened? Put more lead in our soda."

@thorazos.bsky.social is easily my favorite comic making person. I finally finished World Within the World. I own most of the zines in the collection already, but it's a really monumental collection. The amount of great comics within is staggering.

I’ve been looking for publishers for my novella for a few weeks and so far I’ve found maybe 5 that are even open

If you think "authors shouldn't be political" you're straight up a dumbass with the mind of a child.

Post from Threads user "missjenbeck" Romantasy question: are the fae open source? I had only known them from SJM books, but didn't expect to see them in Quicksilver!

Turning into my father one "the problem is no one reads enough books these days" grumble at a time

I thought I was done fretting over deadlines when I graduated; why am I cramming to write 4 new scenes by tomorrow?

Beautiful city! Cannot stand driving there; good luck!

My Truck Desk by Bud Smith October 29, 2025 – “Now that I had my Truck Desk, that vehicle was my very own rolling cubicle.”

"Most artists I know are like this. Finding time to make art while working another job, or taking care of loved ones. They improvise. They get better. They get worse. They get better again.

"Really it mostly comes down to that first thing: finding time..."

My heartstrings! They’re being pulled! Yanked; ripped, even!

Thank you!! Looking forward to reading these documents when I’m not stuck on my tiny phone screen

I, for one, adored BoHN; it felt exactly like the type of stories I used to (and still do) tell myself to fall asleep. I love the local setting and the characters and how they get together to fight

If Night Road gives the fantasy of having a car, a job, and a dog, Book of Hungry Names lets you believe you're young, broke, can eat whatever you find, and can blow off your job to hang out with your friends in an abandoned house.
They're both on sale on Steam! www.choiceofgames.com/werewolf-the...

This is why I write on my partner’s secondhand MacBook Air from 2016. It can barely run LibreOffice and won’t stay connected to any network. But at least there’s none of this crap

I just finished my first playthrough of this fantastic story; I can honestly say this is one of the few interactive novels that had me WISHING for a quicksave because it is such a harrowing experience. I lost sleep over this! 10/10 will be rereading as soon as I press post

Well, he is the leader, after all ;P

So what’s a mutagen counter?

Glad this is a thing. My friend’s partner went to Anime Expo (in Toronto, ON iirc?) and apparently most of the tables were taken by “AI artists” and people were not happy abt it

While I’m not thrilled this wasn’t ALREADY the policy at GalaxyCons, I’m glad it is going forward.

I’ve been to a few cons/festivals as a comic author and I’ll tell you for a 3-day event; I’d usually bring around 40 copies. Though my audience was much smaller than yours, so take it with a grain of salt

@thestarfishface.bsky.social having read both editions of How To Webcomic, something still eludes me. How did you figure out *how* you wanted to draw your webcomic; as in how did you find your style/inspo for that style?
