I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

cover reveal!😭💛 Nora At Night, my first PB as illustrator AND author! Daytime is so loud for Nora! What kind of sounds will nighttime bring? Many thanks to the best @janinele.bsky.social & everyone @kidscanpress.bsky.social Out Sept 1 2026! you can pre-order now wherever you get your books! #kidlit

I just read a report that said that everybody who draws comics is super hot and also has a great sense of humor

i understand the impulse to react to a terrible story by saying that you’re not surprised, but i hope i’ll always be surprised by terrible stories.

Vanquished by the baby you washed is some Athena bullshit

Next week there will be another existential boogeyman designed to discourage you from pursuing art. There will always be a mosquito in your ear trying to convince you your creativity has no value. Let this Sora situation be a lesson. Stop getting pushed around by scammers. Make art

Such a good article in Maisonneuve on how Canada Post is being dismantled, management is rolling out tech to try to emulate Amazon, and what Canadians collectively lose if they’re successful in gutting this public institution.

wtf does this even do? They are paying them to steal their IPs? No one is gonna want to pay to see this shit, it will be literally everywhere and probably gross and vulgar. If it’s even “successful” it only devalues Disney’s worth, they give up legal control and quality control.

I know the prospect of losing your job for participating in a general strike is daunting, but consider the alternative. If this military coup is allowed to spread and continue, the rule of law will end. The government won't even bother showing up to court. At that point,
