Matt, Erin, and guest Shawn Coots (creator of the webcomic "Future Emails") are here this week — and we get into the weirdness of algorithms, the curse of self-promotion, and the joy of making art just because it feels good. From time-traveling emails to the autistic creative process, this episode dives into why making things matters even when capitalism says it doesn’t.
We cover:

  • Shawn’s webcomic *Future Emails* — time travel meets autistic processing and therapy homework
  • The paradox of autistic self-promotion (and why “clear invitations” help)
  • PDA profiles and autonomy — when “you should” hits the nervous system wrong
  • AI “art,” capitalism, and the myth that nobody likes making music
  • The difference between art as process vs. product
  • Crows, Peacemaker, and the eternal vengeance of birds (yes, really)
  • Sunburns, medieval plague masks, and SPF for sensory-sensitive folks

Also: nerdy tangents about Lego riverboats, opera rehearsal flow states, and why Matt might one day become a bobblehead.
