Thinking about what a loss it was to the world that Octavia Butler didn't live long enough to write an omegaverse novel.

They wanna have their cake and eat it, too. Effortless ability, but also the recognition and status that comes with an investment of effort. They want it all. Like toddlers.
it also undermines the whole point of AI? If you need all this effort and training to use it?

Oh goodie, leifandthorn.com site themes aren't loading.

I assume/hope this is related to Cloudflare shenanigans, and I should give it a bit to resolve on its own before sending in a support ticket...

Please also remember that when a T&S team is extremely overworked and under-resourced, a massive write-in protest based on that one-sided presentation of the facts will do absolutely nothing but slow down the work even further, because now there's an extra 20,000 emails they have to weed out.

Just passed the "first time sketching+inking an entire comic before remembering, wait, that character has an eyepatch now" milestone

Switching #LeifAndThorn to a MWF schedule is already boosting my mental health. I draw 3 strips - whoa, I just finished a week of buffer? Draw 3 more - I'm already up to *two* weeks of buffer??

(no, autocorrect, I did not mean "straps")

Today I bought almost $100 worth of groceries, and they all fit in one bag. So, hey, the Trump economy is going just great, and Republicans picked the perfect time to cut people off of SNAP benefits.

Vacationed with family for my birthday! Not sure I got a single Art Thing done all week. Just a lot of Tourist Things, and a lot of extra sleep in between walking around all the Tourist Things.

AI helps me beat writer's block.

When I'm blocked, I think "Well, anything I write is by definition better than anything that comes out of an AI", and then I write something.

I’ve been telling people for years that it’s much easier to destroy things than to build things, but I never expected to be handed a literal example like this.
