PSA for comic creators; theres a site called fables pro which is supposed to launch this month. They claim to be all about artists etc but are flirting far to much with AI for it to be safe. Do not engage with this website.
It's my birthday today 🎉 ! Can I ask for a birthday favour? Could you spread this post for me? I really liked how the theme turned out and it would make me very happy to maybe get a few new patrons if more people see it, since I recently lost quite a few. Thank you ❤️
It feels bad to promote my shop as the world burns, but I'm also trying to make a living too. I only had three sales in my shop for entirety of last month (I really do appreciate those three people though, thank you). 🥲 Just going to leave this sticker here for y'all... 🤲 breelundberg.bigcartel.com

if this Duolingo news is annoying to you, check and see if your local public library offers something comparable. Mango Languages is pretty great and there’s Rosetta Stone and Pronunciator as well we pay a lot for these resources and they are often grossly underused!
In between bites of al pastor tacos and sips of a margarita, Duolingo billionaire Luis von Ahn talks about how AI will make some jobs disappear. “It’s a tough situation that'll affect the poor, the less educated. And not just in the U.S., but in poor countries.” Free: archive.ph/2024.09.24-1...
