I have to add easily distracted by moss gardens and mini terrariums. I go now to collect moss to make some rather than write atm.
I was telling an old friend of mine how I was learning to draw to do my own graphic novel.
His response was to txt me a link to one of those slop bots and to tell me how it would be faster.
It was all I could do to keep my cool. Fast is not the point. Learning new is.

Every writer who generates a slop image for their work is a class traitor.
"I can't afford a visual artist"
So your solution is stabbing artists in the back? Stealing from them?
Furthermore, slop-generated imagery suggests slop-generated writing. That's how you're presenting yourself.

I feel like I'm living in the House if Usher.
My wall is cracked over by my bookcase in the corner.
I told the landlord but he went to lunch and still has not come to see it.
This is stressing because I'm an introvert

Ya, my Autistic brother wants to hold my beer for me so I can say a few words for him.
This is a president who only likes pre-ordained answers. Remember that when his idiots claim a “breakthrough” on autism.

I am expecting this first comic to be ugly and imature which is why I am writing something that would fit in well with Tales From the Cript.
I am restarting my quest to write a comic/graphic novel. Having it written and drawn is the point.

I find it hard to not think of the children forced to give birth because of that man's rhetoric.
Those children remain too young to understand the significance of his passing and how he and others like him are directly tied to their motherhood.

Violence is not the answer.
As much as hateful, ignorant, power-seeking bigot shitsacks deserve to be locked in darkened basements with minimal food/water until time passes & forgets them like the wastes of DNA they are…
Violence isn’t the answer. It only serves to martyr them or stoke the flames.

Admittedly I didn't read the article but from what little I know, this place is also the most maple maga. With the conservative gov. trying to get "his" seat here. I'm going out on a limb to say the two are directly related.
Alberta has become a global hotspot for measles, with more cases per capita than anywhere in North America.
