So. My partner suffered an accident that resulted in very significant injuries. While he is, thank christ, alright in the broadest sense, I am now an amateur RN/dog minder/kid chauffeur, so! I've restocked some prints to help keep us in pizza and pain meds.

I was interviewed regarding my journey with Matt Wagner’s GRENDEL, and the mad idea I had in 1990 to put together a convention dedicated to the comic, that would assemble all of the creators for it in the middle of a college town in Idaho.
Check it out - I talk about art & writing & ambition, etc.

I'm helping to produce an original play about the Finnish/Russian Winter War. First up is the Live Reading, which they are running a small Kickstarter for. This is a true story that is vital for the times we are in, and a little support means a lot at this critical stage.

A striking thing about articles I’ve read claiming to “study the effects” of generative AI on student writing skills and consumption of information is that (1) they nearly always find the effects are negative and (2) most “conclusions” are still written assuming that we must use AI, for some reason.

It does. Proven over and over. We choose to do this, to punish the sin of poverty. We pay extra for the cruelty.
“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”
It costs a lot less to house people.
