These are all Black people. The regime is betting that you wont care Jamael & Trahern the way you care about Alex & Renée

I'm finding as the years go on with me making comics that are primarily black and white, I am getting more readers commenting on 'why it's not in colour' and many others not reading because there isnt colour to begin with... that sure does stink!

I don't want to make a full colour comic, black and white/grayscale comics rock! Thats it, that's the post

january has been 77 years long

Latent racism which is enforced at every turn by a complicit media and upheld by our political order so that a steady stream of disenfranchised free or cheap labor is available forever and propaganda at every turn to convince us that it's ethical and right. But it never ever had been.

People are getting on board with dissolving ice but we really need to drive home that ice is just a police dept that cares less if you see them be awful. The police do all this and get away with it because they've done it to black people and white america has long held the belief that it's just.

In short, abolish the police.

Did u know that you pay more for everything if you have an iPhone? If u can, drop the IOS bs and stop being over-charged for everything on and offline especially with the new push for dynamic pricing, and the blatant theft of profits from small creators regardless of the app or platform used.

WIP Wednesday is all about me doing a finished illustration of a man...not that I don't draw men but I don't have a lot of finished work including men 😭

my only notes to people under 30: your 30s aren't for ditching fandom, they're for re-evaluating all the "cringe" stuff you liked as a teenager through the lens of someone who can appreciate it fully, going, "that owned, actually," and becoming even more unhinged about it. please look forward to it.

Ooh I actually have another opinion - I think capitalism is stifling good anime and has been for a long time, shows are often rushed at the end and can't stick a landing or drag on forever because they're making money.

I've said this before but just because some artists are able to draw BIPOC characters sometimes does not mean that they are "safe" for us to be around. Discernment is good to have, and I don't think I'll ever let that go. The keyword here is "sometimes".

I've been hearing this refrain lately about AI- "Everyone uses it, some people are just honest about it." Bullshit. I can't stop search 'summaries' popping up, but otherwise it's not something I use or want in my writing process. Never prompted ChatGPT. Never spent AI credits on Microsoft/Adobe.

Yes! I want to share my silly lil stories and the pictures in my brain!! I want to engage with people! I want to live!!!

as a reader: i need more fics exactly like this as a writer: i once mentioned this trope in a post two years ago so i guess i can never repeat myself

Had a small argument with someone about how America is so much bigger than Ireland so UBI wouldnt work here. And my counter was that the annual budget of the Pentagon is $900 billion. ICE was given $85 billion. The ONLY thing we lack is the political will to meet everyone's needs, not the means.

color pencild on paper

yes comics are in fact that hard, no there isn't any way through it except doing your best

The correct answer to this is "Yes, and everyone else too."

Missing baby gorl 🥺

This man was bullied, humiliated and robbed by ice and is too traumatized to work. He's a citizen and they told him "when your citizenship is revoked we'll be back to get you." They're still at $10

There are many reasons to help people. One that I think gets overlooked sometimes is: helping others often helps you. So if you feel like shit, don’t flagellate yourself in the dark. Leave your head a little. Extend some kindness. You can’t do everything, but you can do some things.

I know I’m a real human being with empathy because I still feel for each and every victim… but seeing some of posts and politicians talking about “this is the breaking point” also makes me annoyed.

I really hope the people finally expressing outrage over what's happening remember and understand that you were still pretty fucking quiet when BLM began and countless other wanton POC murders were happening with video evidence. Be just as loud for POC going forward or your activism is meaningless.

it goes without saying but just in case it's not obvious, what ICE is doing now in MN is what regular cops have been doing for years to Black and brown civilians with impunity, it's just never been as concentrated and televised; this is just to say, it's not new and it's not un-american

Black people staring into the camera

“If one is honest about the history of the United States, it prominently features white violence, terrorism and revanchism, particularly toward Black people, Indigenous people and women.” — @sorayanadiamcdonald.com andscape.com/features/cap...

That is because it was mostly women and Black people pointing it out

At the end of the day, the Black Lives Matter era was about whether people should be killed in the street, and lots of people decided yeah and put those little blue flags on their cars. It spread to everyone because it stopped for no one.

You know me I don't share fundraisers unless I can tell you I trust them with my whole heart and my own wallet. This one gets protective gear to legal observers in Minneapolis / Saint Paul www.gofundme.com/f/help-equip...

I know its hard when they come at you directly out of pocket but stop reacting. Instead start looking to see what it is. BS users need to go back to our original credo of block & dont engage b/c it spreads said discord. Think about the recent X influx. Ppl who thought staying was fine are now here.

If you’re outside of Minnesota and you’re wondering how to help, this guide is excellent. And seriously. Take down your Ring doorbell TODAY.

Hey Wired, do you want to maybe fucking mention that they're also now collecting information like your sexual orientation, whether or not your trans, and your citizenship and immigration status? Kinda burying the lede with "Oh no they're tracking your location" like every fucking app does.

According to its new privacy policy, TikTok now collects more data on its users, including their precise location, after majority ownership officially switched to a group based in the US. www.wired.com/story/tiktok...

Video games do not cause violence. But we as an industry are clearly not ready to have a conversation about how we've normalized a military fantasy

"ChatGPT is great for brainstorming!" Actually we have a tool for that already! It's called thinking. We use our brain. It's called brainstorming! Clue is in the name.

I think the hardest part about the state of the world lately is being in the spaces I frequent and realizing who is unsafe. Who is willing to make excuses for bad behaviors, people you think should know better proving you wrong, people who you trust who are so eager to hem and haw over things

Yeah, only the concept art. He's still insistent on using it.

what they said about using their own data to make assets is outright false you can't make Gen AI assets out from your own data it's just finetuned. Reminder anyone who is saying this they are using their own data is either lying or don't understand how training works.

That last post wasn't supposed to pop off the way it did, it is muted now because jfc some of y'all don't know what basic empathy looks like. (Spoilers, unsolicited advice ain't it.) Anyway, hello, my name is Fi, I've been pretty reclusive the last 6 months, I also want to warn the newer

I miss my dog. It hurts how bad I miss him. Laying in bed constantly reminds me how he should be here cuddled with me and he's not and I just wish it didn't end the way it did.

A reminder that GenAI exists solely so that CEOs don't have to pay creative and skilled people for labor. And it's up to us as consumers to generate as much backlash against this shit as humanly possible.
