Central Park West, Nov. 2018. Was About 40-ish Degrees Post-snow-fall

There’s a nasty winter storm that’s going to hit most of the central regions of the US tomorrow (21 December 2022), especially tomorrow night. Please check your local forecasts if you live anywhere west of the rocky mountains, even down as far south as Texas. In some areas of the Plains region, windchill is likely to be -50F to -70F. That is so cold that you will develop frostbite in minutes. You will lose extremities without protection if you are exposed to windchill that cold. -70F is “surface of Mars” cold.

My part of the US is going to be below freezing all next week. This is normal for some. Not so normal for others.

If your area is likely to be impacted by the storm, please prepare now. The most important thing is staying warm and staying inside until things warm up outside. Specific tips I can offer, as somebody who regularly deals with cold winters are:

Put blankets over windows and doors. This will help your house retain heat.

Stay well-fed. Buy food now. You will get hungry faster because your body will burn calories to stay warm.

Stay hydrated. If your lips are chapped you’re probably dehydrated.

Stay dry. Remove wet clothing as soon as possible. It is better to be naked than wet when it is cold.

If it is going to get below freezing for more than an hour or two, run your water at a trickle or drip to prevent your pipes from bursting. The colder it gets the faster your pipes will freeze.

Here’s the weather forecast for this storm:

What I’ve learned from twitter’s recent epidemic of ADHD denialism is that a lot of people don’t want to believe a neurological condition can control your life because they can’t reconcile that possibility with their belief in a soul. It terrifies them to think the physical meat in their head might be more powerful than what they define as their “real” self.

Okay, here are the first four pages of the comic I’m (VERY slowly) working on…. manga takes a lot out of me and I’m trying to be considerate of my health condition lately when drawing…

It reads right to left as Japanese manga does

Anyhow uh… yeah - thank you for the support for those of you who looked at this on twitter already! I’ll try my best to release pages 5 and 6 this week. I’m sorry, I just took a break to work on a couple drawings and now I feel the desire to draw manga again! 🙆🏻‍♀️😄

You may have seen a fundraiser going around looking to hire a lobbyist to go to DC and lobby against AI art - it's been boosted by pretty big names, after all.

This fundraiser is explicitly allying with groups like uhhh Disney, Universal, and the RIAA - and the person who's running it is a crypto nerd who's a big fan of NFTs.

I'm not going to be the one to pretend that AI and AI art has no problems - that's why I started a group for ethical AI use, after all. But I think if there's gonna be an opposition to AI you can probably do better than laying your lucre at the table of some of the most litigous, anti-fandom corporations in existence? If you're interested in getting Metallica 2.0: No Fanart Allowed Boogaloo, this is where it's going.

(And this isn't even getting into the problems with the fundraiser itself, which seems to be built like 90% on misinfo and outright lies about how AI works)

Cheers (and remember that if you are weird in the replies I will block you!)

Hope everyone’s having a good time on Earth today
