Think of morality in terms of stairs-- whatever we do enables us to then easily do something one step beyond that. Don't ask "should i do this," ask "do i want to be somewhere a few steps from here," because *that's* what may eventually seem exactly as reasonable as what you're considering now.

One of my biggest takeaways from the new Robert Crumb biography is the recurring theme of him selling his original art and sketchbooks over the years, and the independence that granted. A literally valuable lesson: you can sell what you own (and a reminder of what AI art is meant to steal from you).

Shoutout to Nell Brinkley, a fantastic artist who thrived 100 years ago when illustration was king (or rather, queen). Do yourself a favor and get to know her stuff-- the heights one can rise to with only paper & ink. Great work lives forever.

Just some super fun quotes from my novel-- go read it, it's thoughtful and scary. Novels exist for a reason: sometimes it takes 300 pages to say something. Available on Evil Commerce Website, or get the ebook via my Pateon:

Check out the peopleWatching season 3 playlist on Bandcamp! Enjoy (most of) the great musicians that feature in the new season, and enjoy a platform that's waiving its fees today so artists get paid more (instead of funding military AI, like certain other platforms)-Wr

"Women and Children First," A Bill Mauldin cartoon from the early 80s-- the meat grinders read "terrorism" and "retaliation." He has a lot of work from decades ago that still speaks loudly, because history does not repeat-- it merely continues. Everywhere, every war, where men decide and others pay.
