The non-binary experience of feeling you like You Do Not Fit In Literally Anywhere
Tried to sit in a chair for two hours today and it kicked my ass
I got food poisoning on Saturday on top of recovering from surgery so this has been the longest week of my LIFE but I'm finally starting to feel better
Everything went great! I'm finally free of the biggest health burden I've ever had to carry. Can't wait to finally start living my life!
After a lifetime of agony and anemia I'm finally getting a hysterectomy tomorrow and I am SO EXCITED

I'm still trying to think up names for the girlies, but they got a big upgrade to their house today
It's my birthday today. Might go buy some chickens later.
Glaze 2.2 is out. It is an update for Windows users to support recent NVidia GPUs (including 50xx GPUs). Downloads at: glaze.cs.uchicago.edu Mac users do not need to update. We are also updating Nightshade to fix the True bug and also support new GPUs. That update is coming in the next few days.

Fun times in northern Colorado today. 70-80mph wind gusts. Trees are down. Semis are flipped over. Buildings are getting damaged. Power is out at my place and the wind is only going to get stronger into the evening.
We cannot even begin to fathom the amount of unnecessary death and suffering that genAI is going to cause at every level of humanity...
WSJ reporting that the U.S. used Claude for the air strikes in Iran. Centcom has been using Claude "for intelligence assessments, target identification and simulating battle scenarios" www.wsj.com/livecoverage...
I've been struggling to find a real estate lawyer for a tenant-landlord dispute I'm caught up in and this is all so ridiculously stressful
generative AI has become widely available in the summer of 2022 and entered mainstream in 2023 people are working themselves up in a frenzy, convinced they're utterly helpless without software younger than still-fresh canned tuna. we have been making art for at least 50,000 years, get a grip
Wow, today was a real fucked one. Let's do some of that again, but not most of it. Definitely not most of of it. Here's something that happened you DIDN'T know about, for I was the only one capturing, thus everyone NOT on bluesky is missing out! I give you January 30th's Full Pelican 🪶
Just write and draw what you love, regardless of what's popular. Don't try to catch or ride trends. It takes too damn long to make comics, and by the time you've finished the 10th page, everything's given way to the newest trend.
What advice would you give an aspiring comic creator? - 🦝
Lost power for 12 hours today! A chunk of fence fell in the backyard from the high winds! I really need to buy a large emergency battery because this keeps happening!
I'm obviously really good at creatures, but I really think I'm pretty solid at acting and subtle expressions when I'm doing narrative work (comics/storyboards) I've been told I have a really good sense for pacing too---all of this being stuff that exists only in private wips or NDA form 💔
Artists, I think we're all too comfortable sharing our imposter syndrome. I would love to see you step out of your comfort zone and confidently state what you think you're actually really good at. No self deprecation, just what you think you're the strongest at Is anyone brave eniough? 👀
I got this spider plant from Tom Lyle and his wife while I was at SCAD. I watched his pets/plants often and asked for a cutting. It almost died this year bcuz of my life turmoil, but I put it in my fishtank and it slowly came back. Lyle was an amazing artist and a great teacher, I miss him so much
I'm ready to leave this year behind because well, it was a bad one! Really really bad for me! Extremely stressful events back to back, had a bunch of my belongings destroyed for no reason, just not great! I'm tired and I want a break
An amazing artist who really needs some help
Hey y'all, I'm having a really tough time of things lately. My car was illegally towed, among other things, and I've just generally been having a difficult time keeping up after having been uprooted earlier this year. If you could share this I'd really appreciate it gofund.me/6bef8ef36
