I and many of my friends stream on Twitch. I say, *absolutely the fuck not*. Friends who stream on Twitch, there is a comment thread here where you can make your voices heard: twitch.uservoice.com/forums/92338... This is the *least* they can do.

Twitch and Amazon are apparently planning to use streams to train Generative AI. Multiple sources tell me it will be announced in the coming months, despite some internal friction against it. Creators may be able to opt out of some training data.

This month it's vacation vibes over at the ko-fi sticker club! Please enjoy the bean polaroid photo I took in Hawai'i for the mail sprouts and the additional very silly glasses guys and the horse on a mission for the combo club members! Tier Links + Info 🧵

Promotional graphic for Beandom Sticker club with a photo of a sticker depicting an instant film selfie of a pink bean creature on the beach with an orange bean creature in the back and a leaf tail in the water. Two other stickers are scattered on the page: The first is a pair of glasses big enough to fit two little cyan-green characters' faces in the openings. A sprout springs up above each of their heads as they stand holding the glasses. The second is horse-like creature with two legs and a sprout sticking up above their head. The promo text reads: Beandom Sticker Club July '26! Bean sticker! Snail mail! Combo club stickers!

I got an analogue clock, where i can SEE how much time is left (until an hour). So when i need to do stuff and can't find the motivation or i'm distracting myself with other stuff (yeah procrastinating) i can use this to tell myself: only 10 minutes so u get at least started with a task

Loup & Daisy May 2022 I do not have time to get hyper obsessed with Daisy May again, and yet she's been on my mind a lot as of late, so dug out these old stylized minis <3

It's that time of the month again! This is maybe my favorite drop out of the lineup so far... Fish with legs + rainbow beetle + polaroid camera? That's is how you KNOW I'm really making these stickers mostly for me... You can grab them ALL in this month's sticker club! Links + Info 🧵

Promotional graphic for Beandom Sticker club with a photo of a sticker depicting a bright green bean creature winking and taking a photo with an instant film camera. Two other stickers are scattered on the page: The first is a bright orange fish egg with legs and teal boots sporting a sprout coming out of their head. The second is a rainbow pastel beetle with a gradient from pastel orange to pale magenta to soft blue coloring their body and a green sprout in place of horns. The promo text reads: Beandom Sticker Club June '26! Bean sticker! Snail mail! Combo club stickers!

I get so bored and understimulated that I listen to my impulsive thoughts, like I'd do ANYTHING to not feel that bored sometimes. I can't even remember how many toys I disassembled just to see what'll happen - and then I was sad they were broken lol WHAT WAS I EXPECTING

Young ADHD Alien lies flat on the floor surrounded by pencils, papers, and a remote control while staring blankly upward. The narration explains that boredom always came with a heavy, itchy feeling in the stomach. Frame 2: The character looks toward a nearby pencil while explaining that, mixed with poor impulse control, boredom led to doing random or destructive things just to see “what happens if.” A close up shows a hand slowly reaching toward the pencil.Frame 3: Alien stands beside a doodled on couch while her mother angrily asks why they would do that. The character quietly answers: “I don’t know.” Frame 4: Three smaller scenes show the character at different ages repeating “I don’t know”, setting aflame a barbie, glueing a shell to her forehead and cutting her hair.The Alien energetically vacuums while a TV show plays in the background. It explains that the character later found less obvious ways to drown out the restless feeling, like needing music or television to do chores. Frame 2: The character watches TV while looking at a phone, showing how watching TV isn't enough stimulation alone.Frame 3: ADHD Alien dramatically reaches toward a giant bowl of popcorn while shouting: “No, hand, stop!” The narration says she snacks “a LOT.” Frame 4: The final panels show the character drinking caffeinated tea through a straw and doodling anime style sketches in class notebooks. The page explores how constant stimulation, movement, snacks, caffeine, and drawing became coping mechanisms for understimulation and restlessness connected to ADHD.

Jon Oringer, founder and executive chairman of Shutterstock @shutterstock.com, is trying to recruit comic and graphic novel creators over on LinkedIn to a new AI platform that he’s building. Feel free to let him (and them) know what you think of this, and never use Shutterstock again ✌🏻

A LinkedIn message from Jon Oringer that reads: "Hi Stephanie I started Shutterstock 20 years ago. I'm now building an AI assisted comic-book/graphic-novel marketplace. I'm looking for founding creators on an invite-only basis who get paid based on engagement with their content. Let me know if want to check it out. Jon Jon Oringer"A reply to Jon from Stephanie Cooke that reads: "Hi Jon, AI was illegally trained off of artists and creators, without their consent. And now those tools are being used to steal their styles and their years of hard work and education to create knock-offs that can’t begin to compare to what goes into art created by actual humans. This is so incredibly misguided and makes an already predatory industry even harder for real artists to survive and thrive in. I respect what you did with the creation of Shutterstock, but imagine if you were taken out of that equation entirely and someone just typed a prompt into an engine to create that site and product. It would be just as good as what you came up with, right? This new endeavor is such a massive mistake and there’s not a single reputable creator who will attach their name to this. The creators that do come on board to promote AI are grifters who will only bring other grifters to your doorstep. Best, Stephanie"Two more messages (one from Jon and followed by one from Stephanie) in reply: JON: "Thanks for your response - I understand where you are coming from, but at the same time disagree with a lot of your points. Jon Stephanie: "Hi Jon, You can disagree with a lot of my points but one thing that is entirely undisputable is the fact that there is no ethical way to use AI. Whatever you create with it for comics and graphic novels has the potential to be tied up in copyright legal battles for years as creators continue to fight for compensation and against the violation of having their work uploaded without their permission. So I guess it’s good that you (presumably) have a lot of money to throw away into the pit that is AI. You won’t return on investment, you won’t gain traction in the world of comics and graphic novels, and I can tell you now that in the mainstream industry, this won’t ever be taken seriously by the level of creators you need for this to succeed. But again, it’s not my money to be wasted. However, the resources that you are using up to support AI are a massive problem that can’t be solved financially, and there won’t be anyone left to create art if you and other AI advocates destroy the planet. -Stephanie"

ADHD can have a serious impact on your life and mental health. These are some of the things that were and still are the hardest for me. Thanks for to everyone who joined me on stream while I was working on this 🫶

Split comic titled “How ADHD” vs. “made me Depressed.” Top row: A girl imagines many dreams, ideas, and interests at once, full of excitement and possibility (left), followed by her lying on the floor, exhausted and unable to motivate herself, even for things she enjoys (right). Second row: She hyperfocuses intensely on a topic, reading and learning until she becomes very knowledgeable (left), but then in a real conversation forgets everything and feels embarrassed and stupid (right). Third row: She is often quiet and thoughtful but can suddenly become very loud and excited (left), which leads to overstepping socially and pushing others away, making her feel like being herself is wrong (right). Fourth row: She struggles to maintain routines and work toward long-term goals (left), which turns into a feeling of being stuck and unable to create meaningful change (right). Bottom row: She has trouble regulating what she says when emotional (left), resulting in a painful gap between what she believes is right and how she actually acts, leaving her disappointed in herself (right).Split comic titled “How ADHD” vs. “made me Depressed.” Top row: A girl tries hard to keep up with chores, putting in effort but struggling because habits don’t stick (left), which turns into feeling defeated by mess and believing her efforts don’t matter (right).
