I have a album full of reference photos, I have no idea why I hoard them like a goblin without ever labeling them. That's how I get through a entire painting and and think- where the hell is this anyway? I'm pretty sure its a small waterfall and spring near Marymere Falls, WA Watercolor & chalk.

Probably a good time to remind people who follow me, or wish to commission my work- I will not and never will use Generative AI. And I will not work with anyone who does.

There was a meeting at our city hall about trans safety and these are the notes I wrote for an impromptu speech I gave, one of about 20 that evening. I'm definitely gonna be attending more meetings and giving more speeches in the future.

Oh number 12. The absolute audacity of it to haunt me everywhere I go.

GADDANGIT why can't I edit posts Bsky?? ANYWAY- Deep Water is still updating, we're onto Part 2! Check it out! deepwater.the-comic.org

From a writer group post someone sent me: "...the attitude now is so exclusive and unwelcoming for those of us who are either pro-AI or use AI" GOOD JOB, EVERYONE, KEEP MAKING THEM FEEL UNWELCOMED, YOUR SHAME IS WORKING. 🥰

Yes. I am right. I am seeing how Chat GPT is ruining students critical thinking and writing skills in real time. It is not the future. It is a tool designed to render the populace helpless, to make people doubt their innate intelligence, and to foster overreliance on technology.

Oh my god, this is the best news I've heard all month. medium.com/@lewiscounty...

COLBERT, on Rep. Al Green’s removal: “Some people questioned why so much muscle was needed to remove an old man with a cane. But it turns out it was for a serious reason. When security searched him, they found that he smuggled in a spine." @latenightercom.bsky.social

Gregg is a former Marine and Forest Service ranger. He's saved the lives of hikers dangling off a cliff or going through cardiac arrest, and he's bravely fought forest fires to save small rural towns. 100% of his salary is paid by WA state. Elon fired him. Share his story.

Congressman Andy Biggs wants to abolish OSHA at the federal level- leaving the choices of wither to enforce OSHA practices up to the state. OSHA keeps business owners accountable and liable for the damage they do to us AND the environment. Call Andy and tell him he's a fucking idiot-202.225.2635

👏🏼👏🏼👇🏼 “The AFL-CIO has launched the Department of People Who Work for a Living (DPWL), a new campaign to hold Elon Musk's Dept of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, accountable & make sure the federal government is responsive to working people & not just to the whims of an unelected CEO like Musk.”

Crockett: "If feels as if y'all have just decided that y'all are gonna castrate your constitutional duty & hand it over to someone who was unelected. It doesn't matter how many cheerleaders he had on the field campaigning for him. That doesn't mean he gets to go in and sit atop any of our agencies"

THEY ARE DOING THE THING, THEY ARE DOING THE FUCKING THING, STOP TELLING THEM TO DO SOMETHING AND WATCH WHAT THEY ARE DOING

Current mood
