Biking around on three flat tires and man if that aint just the perfect metaphor for how things have been going. Tish B'Av is gonna be a thunderstorm rolling through on a hot summers day

what im learning is that acknowledging your wants is not easy. I assumed it would be easy, because pushing things down took so much effort, but no. when you allow desire a voice, instantaneously the responsibility is moved onto your shoulders. no longer a passanger, you must act, you must grow

I've spent the past ten years, ever since transition really, trying to be as much of a "no worries!!" girly as possible. I thought that putting that energy out in the world would bring kindness and connection back to me, that the nicer I was the nicer the world would be. Wanna guess what I got?

i feel like at this point forest fires are more trouble than they're worth

it's impossible to stay in a bad mood at this job

the greatest tragedy of ai will be all of the kids who never become real artists because they exhausted their momentary hyperfixation by ordering up worthless slop about it instead of scribbling out some beautiful trash on their own and getting the drawing virus permanently

once the air quality index goes above 500 you start to see entire bricks floating suspended in the air. it’s pretty cool actually, you can climb on them and stuff

Today I learned the word panicle, which is not a tiny panic but instead a branched way flowers can be on a plant. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panicle

[Tiny little vent] Gotta love feeling alienated from non-jewish spaces for being too jewish, while also alienated from jewish spaces for not being jewish enough. It'd be nice to have *a* community that I feel at home in

"Bystander Effect" #transgender #art #comic

me cuz its blackberry season

hhh i did the big girl thing and posted my script outline into the co-op feedback group instead of just working with my head down. im actually going to get feedback from other artists. hhh So stressful and So scary to ask for feedback haha god they're going to tear it to shreds im sure

🍃Lit in line, smile for the photo ID🤳 🏪Inside, that's where we can be free✨ 👑Your highness, caught you sippin' on lean🥤 🧠Reminds me that's how it's supposed to be💞 #artpost #webcomic #ocsky #ocs #RnBComic #lgbt #furry

Real talk, the reason I'm so anti-conspiracy theory is that conspiracy theories end up turning into antisemitism 99 times out of 100. Granted, there is currently no link between this conspiracy theory and antisemitism, but I think it's bad to be in the habit of believing them.

Left-wing Dati Leumi who believed the establishment of a Jewish state was supposed to be the supernal trigger for international proletarian revolution and becomes whatever the Kabbalistic version of a Trotskyist is when Begin gets elected

Really exciting news! I’ve joined a cartoonist coop! specifically Cartoonist United @cartoonist.coop im a union man, now, babey the only way I could think to depict how I feel is to riff on that one iconic B. Kliban comic lol

Okay todo lists dont cut it anymore I gotta post it so you can throw tomatoes at me if I fall short - Just got home, gonna shower and eat - draw a funny comic announcing some good news I've been sitting on - bang out five face studies (keeping them easy) for 100 faces - script out the next page

My klezmer clarinet teacher offering me a couch to crash on when I canceled class over the separation is really just such a clear example of why I love my people lol

The pacing just too perfectly fit into four panels for me to just pass this by lol

my 6yo: mommy look I wrote a story! the story:

TFW ur rockin and rollin

it appears back then the equivalent of unrestricted internet access was physically moving your real human body to paris, france

all settled in! extremly me to have a drafting table before having a mattress lol

I have a room to myself for the first time in uhh six years. Weird. I'll buy a mattress next paycheck lol

Also, I feel like the USA deserves a round of applause from Europe for this World Cup, where we not only hosted, but generously identified ourselves as movie villains and then were promptly destroyed. Really, what more could you want?

When i move back to america after moving away, the only place I want to live is Philadelphia When i move back to Philly, the only part of Philadelphia i want to live in is South Philadelphia Fuck west Philly so so much

It really is the three weeks huh!!!

im actually really proud of how my "art class for people who think art is out of reach" powerpoint turned out, so here's the whole thing lol, for anyone who would like to draw but always found it too intimidating

in creating this presentation on going from never drawing to drawing comfortably, I'm having to wade through the muck of adult-education art resources and. wow. okay yeah fuck I understand now why people are constantly talking about art as an impossible thing to learn

originally posted in early january after the state-sponsored murders in minneapolis, i deleted this for fear it might be too heavy. six months on, after countless more state-sponsored murders both here and back in iran, it doesn't really compare to the reality we now live in...

If this goes well I think I'll see if I can run our shul's nittle nacht programing for a second year in a row. Itd be soooo so cool to make art accessible to that many people

Applied to join an artist coop because I desperately need art community I was scared that a rejection would discourage me, but actually, I think if anything id get very "Guts under a waterfall swinging his sword" about getting rejected. I love being that kind of person lol

im really tired of not having many irl friends who make visual art, so im bullying everyone to come over so I can give them a sketchbook, a pencil, and an hour long powerpoint presentation lol

sketches of that clumsy grey dog

Excited to listen to @prisonculture.bsky.social this afternoon talk in @theradr.bsky.social's series Learn, To Do www.lifeisasacredtext.com/learntodo/

Lunch break redo of my favorite Anders Neilson panel. The gesture and motion were just too cool to not try out lol

What is shocking about American Jews? Wrong answers only.

fwiw i think the overwhelming majority of non-antisemitic left-wing politicians will leave us to the wolves when the time comes. youre already starting to see signs of that. we're lucky the mayor of ny isnt such a person.

like i really dont think the more conservative, zionist, and traditionalist sections of the american Jewish community realize the extent to which mamdani is a blessing. we are not liable to be lucky a second time.

500 FINGER FILLET now has such features as: * evil woman * evil woman * evil woman * evil woman * evil woman, * evil woman * evil woman * evil woman * evil woman

Went to a Jewish Pride event! Connected someone to a synagogue that has what they were looking for but hadn't found! Finally met someone who likes biking as much as me! Finally have someone to go biking with!! I had a good bike ride home and fireflies were out and kids were playing and aaa wowow

"A library full of 6/10s is better than a head full of 10/10s" A thing I learned from Dark Souls is you can always return to an idea if you have more to say or want to do better, Fromsoft's been making the same game for 40 years. Just get it out the door for now, then make the next one better

omg we made minyan today 🥹 the moment that the gabbi called out for mourners kaddish instead of al-ha'kol was really powerful. that ruled. ah. but yeah it was so packed today, really hard to peel myself away from torah study to get to work lol
