What I did on my Christmas break: Officially picked up my pen for the first time in a while, went home to @vibemagazine.bsky.social, & talked to one of my storytelling heroes @questlove.bsky.social @ SLY LIVES!, Black genius, Black trauma, and why artists crash out.

UPenn and NYPL could’ve just asked me and i would have told them the same thing
This is really interesting. Groundbreaking study on the value of libraries and “third places.”
“A whopping 82% of people who used the library’s physical space and 79% of people who physically attended programs reported more optimism regarding the future, compared to only 58% of digital-only users.”

This is the second of our new batch of comics. The previous one was posted on December 30. The plan henceforth is to do one of these each month on the first Monday and third Monday. Thanks as always to Hannes Pasqualini for the ongoing collaboration.

It occurs to me I didn't post the previous comic in the series I'm doing with Hannes Pasqualini. We published this originally on December 30, with New Year's Eve in mind.

“In order to shoot off one email per week for a year, ChatGPT would use up 27 liters of water, or about one-and-a-half jugs… that means if one in 10 U.S. residents—16 million people—asked ChatGPT to write an email a week, it’d cost more than 435 million liters of water.”
AI doesn’t just require tons of electric power. It also guzzles enormous sums of water.

I have long been obsessed with the manipulation of time in contemporary Black cinema. For @nytimes.com, I wrote about how NICKEL BOYS is leading a new wave of nonlinear Black storytelling.

As a short person I'm really enjoying this thread of tall people talking about how useful they feel when they get things off high shelves for short people 😂
my bf calls helping short people get stuff "The Giants' Creed" and treats it as a sacred obligation
My husband sent me this and I'm wondering why she's still upset when it sounds like the person accepted her no and went to get someone else for help. Are tall people really that offended if a shorter person asks for help? Because I will ask tall people if something is out of reach

Yes, that's nothing like the real Bruce. Slobbering fen speak is more like it. Ominous evil indeed! We're still safe, Bruce. They haven't found the sliders for bitterness and sarcasm and surrealism and kink.

it's important to practice large
when danger is about, always remember to large. large is safer than small because you will look very strong
nobody would mess with large, but somebody might mess with small
