Hail, Venus, on your day + your hour, with the humble, artsy-craftsy Lot of Eros swirling herself across the Midheaven holding the hands of Mars and Mercury behind her, because -- fuck the rules -- LOVE is unconquerable, unrelenting, the most victorious slayer of both unwarded hearts and weary ones

Do I know anyone who knows anyone who makes their own procreate brushes? I’m trying to make a dynamic brush and I’m so close but it’s not doing what I feel it should be doing. Anyone I could talk to out there?

Just saw my textbook "Moving Image Workshop" published by @bloomsburyacad.bsky.social included -- **Just a day after getting an email from Bloomsbury asking if I'd like opt-in for sharing for content with AI gen companies.** Bloomsbury, you were great to work with, but what exactly is going on?
Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars.
OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

Okay, riffing in a different direction:
Bromancy: The Adventures of Gerry and Al. *Laugh along with HPSes and scarlet women as two unlikely friends -- a retired civil servant with a thing for knives and his wealthy, drugged out buddy -- explore the secrets of magic. And maybe a few *other* secrets!
