Sketchbook comic. Panel 1: a disembodied voice says “I KNOW a.i. is ethically, ecologically and esthetically awful, but I just gotta say…” Lucy is reacting with a ._. Face and thinking “do ya? Do ya really GOTTA?” Panel 2: Lucy’s thought bubble reads: “do you just GOTTA recite some tired anecdote using the phrase ‘I just typed it in!’ That just amounts to you admitting that your cheapness, laziness and poor taste outweighs your unexamined ethical code?”

Sketchbook comic page 2: Panel 1: Lucy’s thought bubble reads “and, at the very least, do you GOTTA say it to ME?” She is turning away, saying “ok I’m gonna go, um, get a snack.” Panel 2: another disembodied voice is saying “Lucy! You’re an artist— whattaya think about a.i? Ya know, it may be bad, but I JUST GOTTA SAY…” Lucy is startled, dropping a chip.

Sketchbook comic page 3: Panel 1: Lucy is surrounded by speech bubbles and text, repeating the phrase “gotta say…” she looks terrified. Panel 2: she is fleeing the repeated “gotta say”s, yelling “you gotta live with yourselves, but I don’t gotta!” A note with a heart at the end reads “stop doing this I will not absolve you.”

Gotta say…

I HIGHLY recommend it, I honestly wanted to get right back on the boat for the next tour and do it all over!

Some drawings I did from my recent trip to Nova Scotia with my family!

The seed exchange was GREAT, we met so many lovely gardeners and had a lot of great chats about what we're excited to grow this year! It was a true balm to my soul to be in a room helping people learn about growing things for themselves. Garden people are the best people, today proved it true 💚

Tomorrow's the day! I hope I see y'all at the library!

Chicago Area Gardening Friends! I’m hosting a seed exchange in two weeks at the public library in my neighborhood 🌻 I’ve wanted to do this for a few years, I would love to see y’all and share in the gardening joy!

More info on the poster below, I hope to see you there, and please bring friends!

Reading good books as a kid is an undeniable part of how I became myself, and I want to pass that joy and self assurance on to the next group of kids, and the next, forever. Because EVERY kid deserves to find themselves in a good book 💖
