San Diego Comic-Con will no longer allow AI 'art' to be displayed at their event

"Material created by AI either partially or wholly, is not allowed in the art show"

This follows backlash from artists after SDCC initially indicated AI-generated work would be permitted

Big New Zealand is back and this time he's in Memphis and is connecting what is happening in Memphis with Maori and Fijian words and concepts. True intercultural exchange here. He sees the Black Southern experience with open eyes and an open heart.

It's a whole community of afrofuturist writers and poets shaking shit up on Substack. Out here literally doing the work of resistance on this platform and creating artist networks. Then here liberals come on some, "but the nazis!" Y'all look foolish.

So I'm doing free writing classes this year, y'all.

The first one will be called MAGICAL REALISM IN MEMOIR on Monday Feb. 9 at 6pm CST via Zoom. Registration is required and there's limited space. It's going to be very cute and fun (and yes, freeee!). ✨

I used to get jobs off LinkedIn and now I just get a ton of spam messages. Is it worth keeping?

Students be asking me if I can tell when they use AI. Girl, YES.

Destin Conrad's Tiny Desk was so lovely, and truly my favorite part was learning about the phenomenal Vanisha Gould. Like, my god. That voice.

Y'all, I just finished @sgpoet.bsky.social's chapbook "Good Grief." Wow.

I feel so blessed to be in community with poets and writers who lay their heart out on the page like this. Highly, highly recommend, especially if grief of any kind is something you grapple with -- ko-fi.com/s/398cca6980

“You know, they straightened out the Mississippi River in places, to make room for houses and livable acreage. Occasionally the river floods these places. "Floods" is the word they use, but in fact it is not flooding; it is remembering. Remembering where it used to be.”
