AI shills: it can help you visualise ideas.
Me, with Aphantasia: I can't visualise for shit and I come up with ideas and draw them just fine thanks, only now I have to navigate piles of slop every time I need to find reference pics. 😑

Some very generous person or persons just donated $50 to Reckoning using PayPal Giving Fund, which provides no means of figuring out who or why! So for lack of a better avenue through which to say so: thank you very much, mysterious benefactor(s)! We appreciate you
As someone from hurricane country, I've survived no few hurricanes and too many carpetbaggers in their aftermaths. This piece is wonderfully and frustratingly accurate. I hope "the main character has a punchable face" comes across as the high compliment I intend it to be.
Absolute Masterpiece.
We get to do what we do thanks to our volunteer staff's incredible willingness to donate their time, sweat and tears, a generous grant from Accelerate Resilience Los Angeles (ARLA), and supporters like you. If you're interested, there are lots of ways to help out: reckoning.press/support-us/
