Y’all, you should try commissioning art if you can afford to. 1. Generative AI is a carnival of suck and we all deserve better 2. You still get cool shit at the end 3. You get to feel like a midieval noble acting as a patron to an artist Lowkey kinda has me thinking of trying to do writing comms.

Have some doodles.

I feel horrible that I shared someone’s art as like an inspiration image for a character — “something with this kinda vibe but with a more cyberpunk aesthetic” — and one of the people in the discord fed it to ChatGPT to give me an AI-generated cyberpunk version of the illustration.

Disc Review #2: The Dark Knight I will think about the horribly-made anti-piracy commercial before the menu for days. No special features Movie was good, obviously. Influential on every Batman since for a reason. Subtitles worked and were almost entirely accurate (minor wording changes). 10/10

Disc Review #1: Batman Begins Had the whole movie on it. Seeing previews for Johnny Depp’s Willy Wonka and the first few seasons of Smallville filled me with existential dread. You gotta put it in a PC for more special features, which is weird. Anyway, movie was good. Great disc. 10/10

Just to have something to do, I’m going through my big ol’ DVD collection and I will be posting skeet-long reviews by the disc. Why by the disc? Idk, it seemed whimsical, and maybe someday you’ll find Season 2 disc 3 of Static Shock at a Goodwill and be like “Will it even make sense?”

I dreamt I was at an art class, drawing Superman, but every time I tried to color in the drawing, I grabbed the wrong color

@samreich.bsky.social I know you said the new episode is going to be special, but I think you’ve really outdone yourself.

I know of too many Spencers. There’s a top 5 of Spencers in my brain. No more Spencers.

RIP Steak n Shake.

I managed to secure 3 of the leftovers for myself, and I don’t know if I have the self control to refrain from eating all of them tomorrow in a sugar binge my doctor would call “disapponting.”

Happy #MakeATerribleComicDay2025

Content Warning: U.S. bombings in Iran @cnn.com was speedrunning poorly-aged journalism today.

Really glad I deleted tiktok so I don’t get anime spoilers 3 hours after a new chapter drops anymore

I’m grateful for the bravery of others today to stand up to tyranny. May we continue without kings

Apologies for the low quality, but this felt soooooo good and clean I had to share. #MarioKartWorld

Slowly tapping out what I have of my novel on Word using my typewriter

Secured myself a Switch 2 for launch tonight. Phew~

I tried to doodle Jeff the Shark on my mom’s grocery list

I find the bedroom hardest to clean because there’s that really comfy bed in there and if you pull the covers over you, you can’t even see the mess which means it cannot hurt you

Decided to ditch Discord before the impending enshittification and increased AI integrations. Anyone else found a nice alternative?

Made no progress on my projects today. Feeling a little down about it

Update: Took a locked typewriter to the locksmith, and this is what we found in the case. A nice Smith-Corona Classic 10

We’re going where no AI can scrape my words

If I’m being real, after sleeping for 18-20 hours, everything loses any sense of urgency or importance.

Keep art human.

Last #MarvelSNAP post went well, so uh, here’s my very healthy collection of Ghost-Spiders. One of my conditions for spending money in game is that it’s always justified for my favorite 😊

Today has felt rough, but beating a dude who willingly named himself after the disaster-in-chief in Marvel SNAP two different times was nice

Y’all ever just think about oobleck?

Last night, I dreamt that I was on @drawfeeshow.com and that I had to draw a photorealistic Tony Shaloub as Adrian Monk using a single awful ink pen

Going dark here for a bit. Despite my list of banned words so long it lags the app to even open it, my feed is mainly all the stuff I wanted to avoid inundating myself with on a daily basis. It’s bad for my mental health.

www.erininthemorning.com/p/2025-trans... If you wanna do a simple act of kindness, try supporting trans scouts. You get to do something good and you get cookies. I bought from an NB Scout named Josie, and hope they meet their goal :)

Sometimes I turn on HIMYM for noise, and it always bothers me when the show framed by a man telling his kids about every woman he ever had sex with, some instances of which are outright morally reprehensible, suddenly decides something like “uh oh, shit is a naughty word. Can’t say that to my kids.”

I dunno what this thing about The Beatles is, but the objectively correct answer to favorite Beatles song is this: youtu.be/8K_aEeTl6VI?...

Waitwaitwait, okay, so we have BlueSky, and I’m hearing about something called Red Note. Now all we need is a Yellow social media site and the little ferret in my brain will be so happy, I’m not even joking

I am living the sonic movie press tours in non-linear time as I just click any video with Ben Schwartz, and I wouldn’t want to consume this in any other way

Okay, so if I were to take a break and try to do some visual #art would anyone have a recommendation for a phone app that’s workable? My old one had some helpful little tools for circles and straight lines but it’s not available on my new phone

Must resist urge to burn draft. It doesn’t have to be good, it just has to do the job. Then I can make it good.

Time to chip chip chip away at the writing. Idle hands and all that…

Creature Commandos? I wasn’t super into it. Something about music with racial slurs, massive jingoist overtones, the irony of hearing America called a progressive country right now, the princess throwing herself at Flagg Sr… I like GI Robot tho. He has one goal, and it’s a very good goal Thoughts?

I might be an alcoholic, loathe as I am to admit it.

Can something good happen soon, please? Please…

Static Shock on a portable DVD player while I try to sleep. Might be the best moment this Christmas

Happy Holidays to those who observe, and pleasant tidings this Winter season for those who don’t. May the days find you well, and your nights find you cozy. ❄️

Another trans storyline pulled fron a Disney project. I know some people think it’s not a big deal, but maybe if I’d had more stuff like that in front of me as a kid, I wouldn’t have cried when I first tried on a dress because I thought I had condemned myself to hell for all eternity.

My left knee is overworked, my right knee is bruised from where I banged it on a door by accident, I just fell straight on my butt, and the extra bone in my thumb is starting to become painful again. Cleaning is dangerous, owowow

My final for one class was to write a Blues Song based off Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man. Dunno how well it does as a song tbh, but it’s still a solid piece of #poetry I think. Title: Hellbound Blues

Finished writing my last final. Unless something goes terribly awry, I just earned my degree in Queer Activism and Marginalized Histories

I love playing support because it makes me feel good to literally just be helping my friends in a game I would otherwise drag them down in, but hoo boy do I not love the design philosophy that supports have to be squishy enough to kill in 0.1 seconds
