when artists said this in 2022 they were laughing at us, so 🤷‍♀️ (but realtalk, I'm glad more people are waking up to it now)

Bro I'm so sick of pretending this isn't weird.
The internet spent 20 years creating tutorials, open-source projects, blog posts & answers for free.
Al companies turned all of it into products worth billions.
And now the same people who created that knowledge are being told they're replaceable.
We built the library.
Someone else started charging admission.

Alright! For reals— we’re going to be ordering both volumes for shipping this week :) once I send the order out, I’ll be sending the PDFs out. FINALLY. Where does the time go? This week we’re going to be starting outlines for Vol 3, get it to a good place and get another KS ready. Prolly launch Jan.

It’s so much easier decluttering when you’re moving. After living in one location for 10 years, it’s so hard to get rid of things… This is our house. It feels like we don’t have time to get rid of things.

This past month has been nuts. New school schedule, website issues (still). I am NOT done with the Vol 1 edits, but getting Vol 2 finished is a big accomplishment 🏆

I think I finished all the edits for Vol 2? Like, it wasn't a lot. And some art changes, very small-- but I think it's ready for copy and LCCN :> just gotta add it to get printed and then it's fullfillment!

Been fighting a virus for a week. Past Tuesday I went home early (wet cough). Called out Wed (had been coughing all night with no sleep)... but still tried to be productive (WHY?!) was ready to though it out for work this morning but boss text saying if I needed the day, take it 😭

My current To Do List is making my head spin. Kiddo's TK starts next week, I need to finish the edits to Vol 2, find a long 20 gallon fish tank, and I need to figure out how to transport a 5 ft square canvas across town. One of these things are not a must...

I have 4 snails in this tank, and only see Coral, who is typically harder to spot. There’s two red snails— Big Red and Clifford (the smaller red) and I can’t spot them. It’s a small tank— it’s not like they just VANISHED.

does anyone know of a Cozy Game where you just build Cities or Towns? My kid just wants to build :( maybe on The Switch, but can also do something from the 🍎 store if there's something fun.
