Being anti-AI isn't enough. You should be pro-art, pro-artist, pro-writer, pro-worker. Don't expend all your energy tearing people down. Spend it lifting people up instead. Make their voices so loud, their art so visible, it drowns out the slop.

The Bird of Washington, plate 11 from John James Audubon's "The Birds of America." The most (in)famous "mystery bird" in the volume. In a tome with hundreds of meticulously detailed and recorded birds, it's strongly suspected John just... made this one the fuck up. But WHY. WHY WOULD HE DO THAT.

I am unbelievably touched that @dropout.tv titled my @dimension20.dropout.tv Adventuring Academy episode “A Duty of Care”

I wrote about depictions of witches and what text and subtext can reveal about the cultural anxieties behind these iconic figures. The title is Emily's atrocity, which she foisted on me like a deadly disease and for which I will never forgive her.
