We deserve so much better.

A tree sparrow is speaking: "Artistic creation shouldn't be considered carelessly! Good art is made deliberately! With emotion! Physical exertion! If you aren't crying or bleeding by the end, you'd better look into another lifestyle...". We see a class of birds with piles of sticks and a big banner that reads "Intro to nest building" made out of twigs. The teacher continues: "Ok! Does everyone have their bundle of soft moss?"

She hasn't been feeling well most of last week and then had to spend all day at the vet while they poked and prodded her. We'll get her feeling better though

Made a fake Decker vs. Dracula VHS cover to bring to the @oncinema.bsky.social show this week! Started as a goofy little screenshot paintover and then I got VERY carried away:

A Great Horned Owl snoozing in the sunshine.

The author's barely disguised fetish for powerful men to face consequences for their actions

My zines arrived. Excited to sell them in person soooon

Oh man, where a blast from the past. I watched this so many times.

Me when I'm cozy and don't want to get out of bed.

They're so gorgeous! Like each feather is made of brushed, delicately shaped, metal.

A black and white pic of Iranian-French graphic novelist Marjane Satrapi holding a cigarette in her hands. Beside her pic is a text of her words: "The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same..."

I feel like now is a good time to share this again

"One of the penalties of an ecological education is that one lives alone in a world of wounds. Much of the damage inflicted on the land is quite visible to laymen. An ecologist must either harden his shell and make believe that the consequences of science are none of his business, or he must be the doctor who sees the marks of death in a community that believes itself well and does not want to be told otherwise" quote by Aldo Leopold

Every day I think about this passage

This is so devastating

Boromir from THE LORD OF THE RINGS, holding The One Ring. He thought he could use it for good, but everything done with the ring turns to evil. He was one of the mightiest warriors of middle earth, and he could not resist its powers. Others even mightier fell to the ring. Do you think you are stronger than them? The One Ring is generative AI.

Techbros seem to love Tolkien, so here's an analogy to help you understand what genAI is.

GenAI is The One Ring. You think your use is justified, b/c you don't have evil in your heart.

But it came from evil, it is intended for evil purpose, & anything you do with it will be twisted to that end.

Porco Rosso is really good huh

Happy happy birthday!!

oh no! I hope you can get some good rest today. (liked to say hello to the creecher)

I imagine that's true. And probably those are the ones who really should receive its message. I really appreciate how it went all in with its themes and metaphors. Really well crafted.

I finally watched Everything Everywhere All At Once, it was so good

Digital drawing of an eastern screech owl's face in a somewhat cartoony style. It is rendered with painterly techniques using digital gouache brushes. It looks grumpy with bags under it's big yellow eyes. Brown hand drawn text above it says GIMME and the bottom text reads COFFEE. There are coffee beans drawn on either side of the owl.

Working on a new sticker!

Shout out to all the creatives making shit: comics, animators, movie directors, hell gourd carvers I don’t care, you do you. Our greatest gift as a species is creativity. Make it. Show it off. Be proud.

It is *fascinating* to me how quickly some people have gone completely from “we all must work in the office! human collaboration is vital and only happens in person!” to “I can replace all these pesky people with chatbots!” Definitely some commentary there about our society and who gets to choose.

I know exactly how many cats are in my house. I keep it at a consistent value. Moths and spiders, no idea. Mystery number. They come and go through little doors I don't even know about
