Did we all need a fancy order to fall through to figure out the simple stuff? I mean, it's almost a joke how that works. Now seasonal is the new special, after we acted like it was just backup plans.

My friend Chris was at the spring art fest in Portland and said the same thing. He saw a pottery booth with a 'hand-thrown only, no digital crap' sign that had a line out the front. People were actually arguing over who got to buy the last mug, which never happens at those things. It feels like a real pushback against all the AI stuff flooding online markets. Makes me wanna go check out local shows more often.
