Always encourage beginner artists! It will help them keep going, their love for art growing, and maybe one day you’ll see them again, making art for your favorite piece of media, teaching others art, or making people smile with their work. :)

One of the most important issues of our time is that the future of humanity is presently being authored by people who have nothing but total contempt for humanity and seek the erasure of everything that gives being a human meaning. It’s not just annoying. It doesn’t just suck. It’s existential.

Sam Altman: cool use case of chatgpt work i heard last night:

connect your family calendars and explain your kids' interests.

every morning for the drive to school, have it make a podcast that talks about one kid's soccer game that afternoon, one kid's upcoming birthday, some news, etc.

My favorite part about Warrior Cats hitting the twenty year nostalgia buffer (/show anticipation) and getting this recent merch push is that I now have a three year old who loves All Things Cat and a baby who loves All Things Fuzzy. Tigerstar is doomed to be a kittypet.

A close up of a plush Tigerstar / Tigerclaw face. A pudgy little baby hand reaches up from out of frame to clumsil cuddle and pet his nose. He does not have whiskers here. A close up of a Tigerstar stuffie lovingly squeezed in the armpit of a three year old, who is working on coloring a picture. (
Of an orange cat, of course). He still has whiskers here.

I know this is about as toddler parent posting as it gets but - Who is the best character in Work It Out Wombats and why is it Mr. E.? (Surprisingly the arty lesbians aren’t my first pick!)

A screaming and stocky little cartoon lizard, dressed in a tidy apron and wearing a trim and tiny black hat. He’s on his knees beseeching the heavens, encompassing the anxiety of any working elder millennial. Various captions surround him and they read:

 Peak of Frustration
Mr. E
The most
Everything's fine!
Literally screaming!
Wombats!

Really awesome look at the cover art for Gold Key's surprisingly long-running Twilight Zone series. Gold Key did a ton of media tie-in comics, including Star Trek, but they've sort of gone un-touched in both sf studies and comics studies.

Gold Key's Twilight Zone

The Gold Key run of Twilight Zone comics spanned 91 issues between November 1962 and June 1979. The anthology title (along with contemporary rivals like Boris Karloff Tales of Mystery) delivered thre...

1996: can't use the internet without your phone 2010: the internet stretches before you like the vast expanse of a new frontier. You dance through it, unhindered. Unburdened. You have never heard of 2-factor authentication. 2026: can't use the internet without your phone

Art Fight attack on puppiesxx of her Warrior Cats kit OC! 🎨 (She attacked my daughter’s dragon character last year very nicely~) I’ve only managed to find time for two attacks so far this year, but there’s plenty of month left…

A fullbody portrait of a highly stylized, puffy, fluffy, skrungly little black kitten with a white paw and big blue-green eyes looking somewhat up at the viewer’s top left of the frame. It’s meant to look like sloppy acrylic on canvas.

An Area 51 source indicates that Hiller and Levinson have successfully docked with the mothership. We're being told that Levinson intends to install a virus into the alien communications hub.

Another bump. Still waiting on MN. The baby was born a month and a half ago. The credit card bills are here and I can’t tread water with them anymore, yall. Happy to doodle~ (I’ll delete this later because I hate when I have to beg and try to avoid it when I can 😩 but help is appreciated!)

Guess who still hasn’t received their baby leave pay a month and a half later? I’ll do loose doodles for you if you leave me a note or comment about it! ko-fi.com/gracedupre

I keep seeing people thinking this is a bluesky problem. If you're seeing this it thinks you're in a state or country with age verification laws. This is what every social media site will do if KOSA and the KIDS Act succeeds. Running to another socmed won't fix it, we have to fight the source.
