Guillermo del Toro - "AI has demonstrated that it can make semi-compelling screensavers."
AI has demonstrated that it can do semi-compelling screensavers. That’s essentially that. I think the value of art is not how much it costs and how little effort it requires, it’s how much would you risk to be in its presence. What would you do to be in the presence of “Starry Night” at the Musee d’Orsay? Would you go to Paris? Would you stand in line for three hours? And then you would have five minutes in which you will be monumentally moved by that. How much would people pay for those screensavers? Are they going to make them cry because they lost a son, a mother, because they misspent their youth? Fuck no.

I went to a gallery talk given by a graduate student on Thursday for this wonderful exhibit about Native American pop art. The whole exhibit was great, but I’m kind of obsessed with this image. nasher.duke.edu/exhibitions/...
Photograph in an exhibit. It’s all pinks and purples. It’s kind of retro futuristic, and I just love the stance of the woman wearing a coyote mask, holding a ray gun, and standing next to a rocket ship. Museum label. Cara Romero Chemehuevi Indian Tribe citizen, born in Inglewood, California, 1977 Coyote Girl, 2024 Archival fine art photograph on Legacy Platine paper Courtesy of the artist L. 19.2025.11 In Coyote Girl, Romero reimagines the typically male trickster character from Chemehuevi stories as a clever and savvy female protagonist. Her outfit combines Chemehuevi accessories with a ray gun and a mirrored helmet that conceals her identity, while the electric pink suit further emphasizes her femininity. Paired with the 1950s-60s space-age aesthetic of the rocket, the artist evokes a bold retro-futurism and asserts that American Indian peoples not only belong in the future but shape it-carrying forward long-enduring stories, and traditions into new worlds. The figure's confident stance and purposeful styling declare a refusal to vanish, projecting continuity, humor, and power across time.

Durham, you give me hope. There’s a group that has been protesting a couple of days every week since last November at a busy intersection near my house. Tonight the crowd was bigger, and there were Mexican and USA flags. I think practically every car going by honked in support.

Remember: they used thousands of academic books too! If you’re a scholar, check for your books too. This isn’t just novelists and pop writers, it’s academic books too!

Another piece for my fandom flower posters. I really enjoyed working on this one in particular though, since I grew up surrounded by Tolkien's work!~

I’ve been under the weather all day with a head cold, and I missed out on plans I was looking forward to. But at least Biro has kept me company all day, and Jeff and I are having a two person listening party to Earthencloak’s new album.
