Dragged my not a morning person self to an estate sale due to some mislabeled iconic Scandinavian furniture... but coming in they told me that it'll be half price at 1. Taking a chance on waiting because the Ant chair has a chip in it. Clearly no one knew what it was.

I keep hitting a total exhaustion wall this week, just taking me out. Maybe I've got one of those ghosts that sits on you or whatever, I can't recall the lore

Actually packages only do this when the USPS is very stressed 🫠

I can't have just said I ordered something because of MBMBAM / Munch Sqaud and not show it, so: my "Hank the Halls" Buffalo Wild Wings (extremely) LE blind box arrived today. Hands down funniest and most absurd package I've ever received

I’m looking for 100% Filipino people who are willing to submit a cheek swab test in hopes for a genetic match to my aunt, who is battling blood cancer. The registry for stem cells doesn’t have many Filipino people in it, and joining it could help many. Please share/reach out to me!

Coincidentally, I've opened an unlimited number of slots of my regular #commissions, as I'm going to adjust (read: rise) my prices starting January.
So now is a great time to order your illustrations from me!

I know many things are awful but here is one genuinely useful and helpful thing you can do. No matter their party, your representative needs to hear that trans people and our families are not alone and this bill is an unjustifiable and extreme threat to criminalize the health care we need to live.
Tomorrow, the House of Representatives will vote on a bill that bans gender-affirming medical care for any transgender person under 18, and threatens any medical professional providing this care to youth with 10 years in prison.
Tell Congress to protect trans youth and vote NO.
Tell Congress to protect trans youth and vote NO.
Protect Trans Care Now
As wave after wave of extreme measures to criminalize and strip trans people of rights and safety continue, tell Congress to act.

at Polygon, someone once floated the idea that one person would research a video, then pass that work off to someone else to write. And I was like No?? The research is the writing?
Like, the writing originates in ideas that are develop through research. So what the fuck does this even mean??

The thing that makes me insane about this and Vincke’s comments is why would you trust AI to make a reference? They’re notoriously bad at doing that and produce banal results! Go buy some art books, they’re great. How is it empowering concept artists to have them not do that?

Using genAI for concept art is so fucking stupid because like... that's where you get the cool shit. Thats the blue sky phase where artists make pieces of art that will be seen by a teenager later and change their life forever. Why would you want to start from mediocre. Why would you do that.
