Public Libraries: Please consider empowering young artists in your community instead of dabbling in harmful AI-generated art. Sure, those action figures are “cute,” but that tech was trained on stolen art. I’d be more impressed by an artist’s vision of your mascot than a soulless computer’s take

It was nice to meet you, Katie!✨
Turns out @priscillaalpaugh.bsky.social and @ioanahobai.bsky.social are on Bluesky! Woo! Thanks to you both for much fun yesterday!
Well that was ADORABLE. Just got back from celebrating #IndependentBookstoreDay at @portersqbooks.bsky.social where our 3yo got to have one of his stuffed animals painted by children's book illustrator, Priscilla Alpaugh Cotter! ❤️ What a sweet event! Bought, ah, MANY books. 😁

I wrote this story a while ago, for both children and adults.
Because all of us, young or old, have made mistakes and, at times, a particular mistake felt completely overwhelming, growing, and growing… until it reached the size of a whale…
