RIP Marjane Satrapi, author of the amazing graphic novels Persepolis about living during the fundamentalist revolution in Iran in the 70’s and 80’s. She also created the animated movie based on the graphic novels, which is where these gifs come from.

Reblogging in honor of Marjane Satrapi, one of THE great graphic novelists. Her comic Persepolis was a crucial text for shaping my belief that comics can deeply explore identity, culture, politics, and history.

there is something to the classic lesson taught in ballet (and other) that if you screw something up just keep dancing.

"the audience doesn't know what was supposed to happen, the worst thing you can do is flinch and in doing so admit something wasn't planned"

anyway that's why i'm so smooth all the time.

gender-trash

as my favorite jazz teacher says: "if you hit a wrong note... hit it again"

niuniente

Same in theater and acting! The audience doesn't know your lines or what you were supposed to do. Just keep going and pretend you didn't mess anything up. No one will notice.

ok so, I approached my local library with a proposal to donate a mural as a way to A: build portfolio/gain practical experience and B: give back to a beloved public institution. The director was very enthusiastic about it and i've been working on it since the beginning of March. Come with me as I endeavor to paint what is in all honesty an excessive amount of birds

I wanted the birds to look like they were actually in the space so first thing after doing the draft was to do a lighting study

after that I covered the walls in letters in lieu of a projector/vr headset bc i have neither of those :) Then i take a picture of the section of wall and superimpose the lineart over top of it so I can pencil in the lines

et voila

and that was a whole week on it's own so next comes the paintin' >:)

So much about gen AI use seems related to frustration tolerance.

Learning new things is frustrating! Not being able to get something to work or look or read the way you want it to is frustrating!

But you're robbing yourself of a lot of learning and growth by turning to gen AI to solve it rather than sitting with that frustration.

Being able to keep going at it through frustration is a very valuable skill that is genuinely transferable to a lot of different types of tasks.

I always worry that we, as gen AI haters, end up sounding like Socrates complaining about the youth writing things down instead of just remembering them, but I do genuinely worry that we'll end up with a lot of young people with a very low tolerance for frustration, the way use of generative AI in school is going.

Socrates wasn't wrong about the impact on memory, but he was wrong about the broader impact on society, so this is where I'd argue that off loading the task of remembering is different from off loading the task of problem solving. It's okay that we don't remember information as well when looking it up is trivial, but if we can't problem solve on our own, we also can't examine the solutions generative AI provides for us and evaluate whether that solution is suitable for the given task.

The type of reliance the technology of writing or maps or what have you creates is of a different kind, not just degree, from the type of reliance gen AI creates when used to circumvent learning and its accompanying frustration.
