I have NEVER been skilled at drawing. (This is exhibit a in why I am an abstract painter). However, I decided to participate in #scbwiArtober2025 because I had surgery last week & I need entertainment.
So…This is Abel the Spider (RIP) getting SQUASHED by… a Squash. (Since I know you couldn’t tell)

Every time I see a house like this on Zillow I chant to myself WITCH HOUSE, WITCH HOUSE, WITCH HOUSE
Anyway I don’t ask for much in life but I can’t wait to be a millionaire with a witch house

One of the best ways for #writers to gauge the literary market is to read recent releases from DEBUT authors. Why? These are writers whom publishers are willing to take a risk on, who don’t yet have a following, which means publishers believe their book has market value.

The people complaining that companies want to pay less to clean up AI generated content is so odd. If we want to be valued for our work as humans we have to show them we’re worth paying for. At least charge your regular rate if you’re gonna do this. www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-ne...
Humans are being hired to make AI slop look less sloppy
In the age of automation, human workers are being brought in to fix what artificial intelligence gets wrong.
