I went to an event last week where the speaker used Gen AI to write their speech. And then they read it. Word-for-word.
It made me wonder if AI being used indiscriminately without guardrails is making service providers the middlemen of their own expertise.
Worth a read if you wonder the same.
My dog has given up on resisting the new foster kittens snuggles. My heart can’t take it.
This affects literally no one but my tiny upstairs bookshelf that's mostly reserved for Carissa Broadbent, Rebecca Yarros and Rachel Gillig. I'm just REALLY bothered by all the small artists losing their licences. I do not want art made by agencies.
Between all of SJM's small artists losing their licences for fan work and the continued pushing of ACOTAR 6, I think I'm demoting her books to the downstairs bookshelf in favour of our queen, Ali Hazelwood.
Jury's out on if she'll be demoted further to second-hand buys. I'm leaning towards yes.
The best asmr.
I've been reading in bed when my alarm goes off instead of trying to get out of bed and force myself to start my day before my body wants to. Trick from my therapist to combat the 'unproductive' guilt I get from trying to not be burned out. Might be worth a try?
Yes. Give me more hand-drawn holiday ads and less emotionless AI slop, please. It doesn't make up for the other corporate garbage Starbucks has gotten up to this year, but it's definitely a step in the right direction.
It’s that time of year. Cozy sleepy time!
Said goodbye to the foster kittens we’ve had for a month. Cried my whole volunteer shift at the shelter. They’ll be up for adoption soon and I hope they get the best families. 🥹
little drawing date with @crystalpicard.bsky.social
I feel like one thing no one ever tells you about being a dog owner is the horror story your backyard becomes after all the snow melts for the first time and you see the absolute wreckage your yard has become. 😨
Hand holding holographic sticker sleeve.
Ordered some sleeves to put sticker orders in. Guess it's time to finally figure out how to use my cricut. 🥲
It was a perfect place to ruin my day haha
E-Book with Onyx Storm Book Cover on it with a fireplace in the background.
I just finished Onyx Storm this weekend and I'm not okay.
I came off a week-long digital detox to find out Tortured Poet's Department lost to an album I hadn't even heard of at the #GRAMMYs. And now I want to go back under my rock.
Do they even have plows there?
I never thought I would be one of those people peeking out the front window for the Amazon truck but here we are.
I ordered this in March of last year and it's getting here 2 days after release 🥲 #OnyxStorm
I like the 'Paperlike' screen film. It makes it easier to draw on.
Hand-lettered drawing of '2025' and 'Happy New Year' with florals in the background.
Happy New Year! Spent today drawing and listening to audiobooks. Hoping for more days like today this year!
