Great example of enshittification: Google now wants to use your Gmail to train AI, but if you opt out (Settings->General->Smart Features->Turn off) not only do you lose *spell check*, you also lose all sorting of emails, so everything goes in one giant inbox. I hate it here

My Cabbages! 🥬 A story in two parts

My new favorite kind of meme is "here are detailed instructions on how to turn off AI". 🔨

#3157 A helpful tutorial

Love this so much. 💜

Occasionally I get those pop-up memories and 9(!!) years ago in India I was a guest at the Bengaluru Comic Con. I came to the convention and found they had unexpectedly printed my face on the sign above my signing table and it was giant! Good times!

FAMILY WE ARE FRIENDLY STRONGER AND A LITTLE... TOGETHER COMPETITIVE

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

Occasionally I do family portraits for people in a cartooned way — it’s a fun alternative to photography if you’re thinking of hiring someone for this kind of service. This is a crew from whom I bought our new old Land Cruiser (they happened to be art fans, so we worked a partial trade).

Was able to catch @realgdt.bsky.social's Frankenstein in the theater before it drops on Netflix tomorrow. It is a creative delight to behold and the amount of depth resonating in every choice made in this film is an absolute joy to watch. Suffice to say, I absolutely loved it!

“There is no MISSION ACCOMPLISHED banner to be hung, no real material change in the world of today versus yesterday. Just the quiet relief of good news that helps us live to fight another day.” What a breathtakingly lovely piece.

Found this on the AO3 subreddit, and I'm about to let it change my whole life (or at least work really hard to internalize it wrt my writing).

Pilot had a massive ad spread in a jp newspaper with "make AI jealous" and "write what AI can't touch" written on it Anyway I think everyone should own a Pilot kakuno pen

My final piece for @teenvogue.com politics section was a piece titled "There's a Steep Price to Ignoring Black Expertise" and boy has that come full circle. Thank you @allegrak.bsky.social and the politics editorial team for turning this Head Start kid into a Black woman who writes for the public.

100%

I was told I'm bad about tooting my own horn, so I want to say thank you to everyone who helped this campaign be a success! It's so appreciated and I'm excited to get this film delivered into the world next year!

Well, this is pretty fun - the YT channel for our documentary production company (www.youtube.com/@inkonpapers...) has officially hit over 1 million views! I know some people have single videos that do these numbers, but I still want to celebrate this accomplishment as indie film creators! Woo!

So many people were excited for this tote bag and we have a few left so we're putting them online. Designed by KPop Demon Hunters Production Designer Helen Mingjue Chen!

This is it. All this talk about “the durability of institutions”, all these people “who take their oaths seriously” — and yet we’re living under a wannabe Nazi regime

Another @lightboxexpo.com in the books! What an incredible weekend, I’m very grateful that so many artists in various entertainment art communities have embraced this event! Here’s a little recap video of this year’s show: youtu.be/jpH6BUGlCrI

Exclusive: GILMORE GIRLS documentary reveals new interviewees & stretch goals Ink On Paper Studios announced new interviewees for Drink Coffee, Talk Fast: A Gilmore Girls Documentary, and a new Kickstarter stretch goal.

3 days left to go until @lightboxexpo.com! Can't believe it's already here!! Hope to see you there!

Congratulations to the Jays! Another heartbreak year for Mariners fans 🔱

The first two episodes of the revival of Reading Rainbow have nearly 500,000 views each 🤯 Do you know how cool that is for literacy, for book joy?! We are all worthy of reading, we are all readers 💚 And NOW episode three is out! Take a look, it’s in a book 📚🌈🦋 youtu.be/e4VIV48ZB0M?feature=shared

i imagine there’s about to be an influx of MAGA chuds spewing their bullshit but i really can’t stress enough that if we don’t give them oxygen, they’ll get bored and leave. block early and often.

This was it! Clinched the win for the Mariners! One more and they’d be in their very first World Series! Go M’s 🔱

oooh. Bookmarking this! "How to turn off AI tools in Apple, Google, Microsoft, and more." Step-by-step instructions from Consumer Reports.

LightBox Expo is just over a week away and we have both Friday and Sunday tickets still available!

Let’s go Mariners!! 🔱 Andrea is from Toronto hence the Jays shirt, we’re a house divided!

I'm a huge fan of Kevin and @jimdemonakos.bsky.social's work, and they (with Meghna Balakumar) are back with a thoughtful documentary about Gilmore Girls, that's about fandom and relationships between mothers and daughters. www.kickstarter.com/projects/ink...

RIP Drew Struzan, the man who illustrated my childhood, especially at the movies. I am lucky enough to have a piece of his on my wall that I look at every day (from the Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade Pepsi campaign in 1989).

Josh Naylor just adding onto the pain for the Blue Jays, the Mariners are demolishing in this game, it's not over until it's over but my oh my, it's a whooping!

The Ed Asner Family Center auction is live. Here’s my contribution for this year. I’m always happy to help. Please bid! comics.ha.com/itm/original...

With the holidays upon us, don't give to Salvation Army. Not even change. It's a scumbag "charity" run by anti-gay zealots. Habitat for Humanity is great. Your local Food Bank is great. So many "charities" are for-profit scams. Use Charity Navigator to vet them. www.charitynavigator.org

After an insane 15-innings long game, the @mariners.com won and are going to the ALCS! An exhaustingly fun time was definitely had by all!

Best I could do on my iPhone when it was nearly dark but this owl was just chilling on a wire across from the house and so I grabbed a couple shots!

I don't like him personally, but David Simon on AI is the final word on the subject.

It's been a wild first week, over 1200 backers already, plus we just added a whole new tier (announced through our friends @graphicpolicy.com), plus a bunch of stretch goals have been announced and hit as well! If you're a fan of #GilmoreGirls, this campaign is definitely for you!

Sharing this thread from a queer artist who needs $$$ help, and I figured this image (my fav sticker of theirs) might resonate with folks.

What a great episode of @kellysue.bsky.social talking about her love of Alan Alda! Really enjoyable listen, great job @spfanpodcast.bsky.social!

This is incredibly sweet. I unfortunately only really remember the teachers that discouraged me and told me various pursuits of mine (like drawing) were dead end careers that would never go anywhere. *sigh* I sincerely hope there’s more teachers like this out in the world.

🤢🤮

If I had a dollar for every email I got that said some variation on "I have secret strategies that can help your Kickstarter" I wouldn't even need to do a Kickstarter because I would have so many dollars

Woo! Less than 36 hours later and the documentary about #GilmoreGirls that we have on Kickstarter is fully funded with almost 600 backers already! I'm very grateful to everyone who took a moment to share this project, it takes a village (especially these days), so I truly appreciate you all!

I enjoy a well-thought-out, rule-based magic system in fiction as much as anyone, BUT I also think that we should give more props to what Terry Pratchett did in the Discworld books, where it was less about rules and more about vibes and, more importantly, what fit a given story the best. 🧵

The documentary about #GilmoreGirls that I'm producing is now live on Kickstarter! Your support is greatly appreciated, even if it's just sharing with your friends and followers! Thanks for taking a look! www.kickstarter.com/projects/ink...

David Cross folks.

Happy Anniversary to @andreademonakos.bsky.social You are and continue to be the absolute best part of my life, love you forever!
