If you haven't heard, the em dash has been getting a lot of attention lately…

Because it was trained on pirated work—including freely accessible online writing (like fanfic, academic texts)—ChatGPT picked up patterns and quirks native to human writing.

Including (sigh) the em dash.

There are other victims here (RIP tapestry and delve 🫠), but the appropriation of the em dash—a punctuation mark beloved by writers everywhere—feels especially personal.

A kind of low-grade panic is ensuing. Writers who once memed their own em dash overuse—the greatest punctuation mark ever to grace the control-freak’s lexicon, frankly—are suddenly backing away to avoid accusations.

No. More. We have centuries of dash-abusing writers behind us. We will not sit quietly while AI repurposes our beloved stilted aside—or the just-one-more clarification the sentence demands—or the dramatic pause your comma could never—etc.

You don’t write like AI—AI writes like you.

Defend the em dash.

For @creatingblackcharacters's challenge/birthday (HBD!!!), I zapped Stardew Valley’s resident writer and beautiful bachelor, Elliott, with the melanin beam 🖤✨ Ms. CBC’s lessons have bolstered my existing knowledge on character design—both Black and otherwise—and broadened my horizons even further, and I am deeply grateful. Go give her a follow, and drop some well wishes while you’re there!

Bodytaker Sprout | Roll-a-Monster Inktober 2022

Barely more than a seedling and much less powerful than a fully grown bodytaker plant, these little sprouts can still be surprisingly deadly. Like many youngsters, they’ve got ear-piercing wails, but unlike with humanoid babies, you’ve also got to watch out for their caustic spit-up and lashing vines!

Platonic love is love.

Here is the button I made for the ASPEC Journal zine ( @aspecjournal​ )! This was my first time designing merch for a zine, so I was honored to have this position. Thank you to everyone who ordered them!

Design thoughts are below the cut.

🎉💉 Vaccine Positivity! 💉🎉

I was so glad to get vaccinated that I wanted to make some art for it, and now that I’ve just opened a Redbubble shop, you can have it too!

The “got my first shot” and “fully vaccinated” designs have special stickers: instead of a single image, they are 25-count round sticker packs, intended for handing out at vaccination sites or in businesses/groups who want to display their vaccine status. **IMPORTANT: this only applies to medium and large stickers.**

To see, copy & paste this url:

Thanks for your support, and stay hearty! 💪💚

So, uh, how ‘bout those covid variants, eh? Let’s stay safe, folks.

(Also, since the shop has more in it now, here’s a proper link to this vaccine collection.)
