If an artist posts something anti-AI & someone in the comments blathers on about how much AI is the algos, or that people felt the same way about digital cameras and typewriters, or that AI is a tool blah blah blah, that account is one or more of the following: a bot, a grifter, a talentless hack.

A trio of Senate Republicans from Indiana, Oklahoma, & Alabama have introduced S 4925 a copy of HR 7661- the exact same text, which would ban any book mentioning "gender dysphoria or transgenderism" from all public schools in the US. Please call your Senators to say NO to both bills! More info below

Maia Kobabe@redgoldsparks.bsky.social · 2mo ago

There are currently three federal book ban bills aiming to ban all trans books from U.S. public schools! HR 2616, HR 8705, HR 7661. Please call your representatives and ask them to vote no on these bills! Follow @authorsabb.bsky.social for updates. #bookbans #bookchallenges #HR2616 #HR8705 #HR7661

"Readers will find universal themes of adolescent rebellion, surrounded by ideas so original, you won't find them in any other story." - @aleclongstreth.bsky.social, creator of Isle of Elsi, on my upcoming graphic novel, Congratulations on Your Good Fortune! www.radiatorcomics.com/shop/uncateg...

Hand written text that reads: "In this first volume of The Plot Trilogy, Brideau has hand-crafted a rich immersive fantasy world, brimming with imagination."

Hand written text continues: "Readers will find universal themes of adolescent rebellion, surrounded by ideas so original, you won't find them in any other story."

Hand written text concludes: "Congratulations on your good fortune! You've picked up a great story!"

The quote on the previous three slides is attributed to Alec Longstreth, creator of Isle of Elsi. This image features the cover of the book, and instructions to "Pre-order Congratulations on Your Good Fortune Today!"

Hello #KidLitArtPostcard folks! I'm Alec Longstreth, an author-illustrator pitching picture books this year and searching for the right agent to represent my work. This is sample art for a wordless picture book about screens and imagination that I am currently working on. www.alecillustration.com

A plane full of people is dark and grey, with all of the passengers looking at their phones, which light up their faces. One little girl (painted in full color) looks out the only window with the shade up at all the beautiful clouds and sky outside. This illustration was created with ink, watercolor, and photoshop. ©2026 Alec Longstreth

The kids are all playing in the classroom, waiting for Miss Mathews to arrive. Otto hides under her desk and passes juggling balls to Reilly over a book bridge. Roxie throws a paper airplane. Kip balances books on his head while Brad looks on. Saba shows a ladybug in her hand to Sala. Sally stands on a bench and performs part of her book.. Text reads: "Isle of Elsi Page 426”

I rebooted The Dvorak Zine website: www.dvzine.org The old site (from 2005) was super broken and had a thousand dead links. There's about half as much information on this new site, but it's at least easier to read, and it all works! Viva la Dvorak! #dvorak #dvoraksimplifiedkeyboard
