Limestone Bird (2025), lithograph with chine-collé, edition of 16

Archaeopteryx lithographica, literally! This project was such a cool thing for experimenting with a new print process and for some paleoart research. You may have heard that the Solnhofen limestone, where this bird hails from, is a classic lagerstatte site (a fossil site marked by exquisite preservation, including soft tissues like feathers), but the reason why it was so heavily quarried in the early days of paleontology was that the limestone was perfect for lithography stones. Lithography is now mostly a fine art technique, but until the advent of digital printing, it was the best way of mass-producing images. Just as the fine-grained stone enabled near-perfect reproduction of an artist's drawing, the limestone also retained detailed impressions of feathers on the bodies of a few small flying theropods, enshrining Archaeopteryx's status as the "first bird" for centuries to come.

you can buy a print in this edition from the publisher, Shoestring Press!

I think I just need my ass kicked. Like fully just knocked around I won’t even put up a fight or defend myself. It would help me in the long run to just get my fucking ass beat.

You need to move off of Google Docs!

I know some people have seen the news recently and may be doubtful of it. To the uninformed, Google Docs has started using AI to find "inappropriate" and "problematic" content, scraping your documents and deleting it. I know some people are unsure if this is real or think this is not going to affect them.

I regret to inform you that this is real.

As I was on a call with some writers and we were moving our documents as a precautionary measure, one person discovered entire pages missing that they did not delete themselves. This is happening to us, it's not a hoax or a rumor, it's happening right now. You need to move everything if you want to preserve it.

If you're a writer with writer mutuals, please reblog this so they know. I rarely write on Google Docs anymore, but I started my fanfics on there, and I would be devastated if I lost works more than ten years old because people decided marketing appeal is more important than creative freedom.
