I'm having the hardest drawing day of my life. Nothing from my brain is making it on the page. And what is on the page is crap. But I'll turn it in anyway!!!! Cuz I have to!!!!

I believe he has been consistently alleged to be like this for decades.

Folks struggling to make it as indies should probably read this: klangmag.co/lifers-dayjo... Also he only mentions rich kids and day jobbers, but there's also "has a spouse with a good job", "their parent died and left them just enough to get ahead" and "managed to pay off house so don't have rent"

Celebrities that support AI and its advocates are willingly ignoring that the real reason we do not like it is because it is hurting us. It's abusing low wage international labor. It's stealing. It's low quality. And it's hurting us. It didn't have to be this way. How can anyone ever support this.

📚 The worst library job I had was as a manager at a branch with A LOT of problems, including a daily creepy caller. I demanded we take action to protect the staff, but I got no support from the administration. He only wanted to speak to the women, so I implemented a new rule... 👇

Having a dead guy in the senate feels like a metaphor for the whole institution

I feel like 75% of sport is vibes and belief. And I think 45 absolutely ruined the vibe and the confidence of these players. Estados Unidos what is HAPPENING????

Absolutely insane that Cape Verde — a country of 500,000 — played Spain, Uruguay and Argentina…and lost to none of them in regulation. Easily one of the greatest performances in World Cup history.

You don’t have to be a UVW member to apply for this. (If you do join, it’ll helps us do more important work like this.)

strong contender for the greatest line in fantasy film

Emma Frost when yet another one of her schools gets destroyed:

Nantsuba&

The Prairieland cartoonist/zinester who got 30 years for making a zine. Still short of the goal for funding his fight against this total travesty of justice. A gullible rural jury brainwashed by rightwing media, and the most fascist judge in the country. Donate & push this over the finish line.

Still a work in progress, but we're on here now! Nashville Comic Arts Festival 2026 is coming up on October 3rd at Vanderbilt Central Library! Applications are open until July 6! Poster by Shelley Couvillion!

I wanna talk about an upcoming event @slicexpo.bsky.social having: a fundraiser for SLICE! SLICE is made possible from generous donors like yourself and regional arts grants. These grants help keep SLICE programming free. But our funding was delayed this year! www.eventbrite.com/e/an-afterno...

Free link to the online version of Morpho. Gives artist tutorials and directions on drawing fat and skin folds for fat bodies. Now you don't have an excuse to not draw fat bodies. #fatisfine #fatart #plussizeart www.scribd.com/document/616...

If buying isn’t ownership, piracy isn’t theft

Free to download, and printable on standard Avery 5164 shipping label stickers. Enjoy!

Hang out with friends, have a drink and a snack, watch Cadaver Daddy-O do drag, bid on local art, support SLICE, and just possibly... go home with a huge gift basket??? That's what we've got going on at our first-ever SLICE fundraiser on July 18, 2–5 p.m. at Oni! www.eventbrite.com/e/an-afterno...

I think that's a fair assessment and also take your point about adaptation: if a non-fiction story/biography is only known bc of an academic's work, then is further work inherently adaptation, even though the story doesn't "belong" to any single person, if it's predicated on that research.

In this case, Walden does cite Cleves’s work. The question is how much is fair. Not just in the book but in publicity, interviews, talks. I suspect we’re seeing a clash of two publishing cultures, scholarly and indie comics. Different expectations, misunderstandings of the work each involves. 5/

In nonfiction, an author can’t copyright historical facts or the text of old documents. An adapter can theoretically seek out the same sources, or draw on multiple histories. (“Stealing from one author is plagiarism. Stealing from multiple authors is research.”) 2/

Yes, the process of creating scenes in a graphic novel is akin to dramatizing events for the stage or screen. It’s both derivative and creative. When it comes to fiction, we’ve long recognized that process as adaptating the original work. That requires credit, compensation, and a contract. 1/

Sticking my nose into this to say that having heard Tillie speak publicly about the book multiple times, she openly acknowledges that Cleves' biography was a foundational text, and has dedicated an entire website www.charityandsylvia.com to a bibliography citing hers and Cleves' research.

You know that an attack doubting one person's humanity should be enough to chill us all. But in case it needs repeating:: Removing the rights, privacy & autonomy of one group, opens the path to removing it for all groups.

Oh I know who did it. Like I said before, duping someone's style is NOT the same as tracing my work. It's also shameful that they didn't even ask my permission since the illustration in question was never officially published as a cover and can only be found on my website. It's gross and slimy.

Trans beloveds, take some time off the internet if you need to. Clarence Thomas is a piece of shit sexual harasser with literally no good opinions. You are better than him in every way that counts.

Court can't go on like this. The Constitution as plainly as possible says people who were born here have an unequivocal right to citizenship. Four people whose ONLY job is to read the Constitution for the rest of their lives just tried to overturn it because they're tired of brown people. Pack it.

I really am not surprised if D&Q would turn the other way wrt stealing other people's works (LRT) since they did it to me for Constitution Illustrated. "Fair use" was their excuse for tracing wholesale.

Oh boy. Drawn & Quarterly published a graphic novel based on another author’s work and the artist lied about the source material. This is such a no-no. Don’t know how the work can stand without proper compensation and credit to the original author.

I interviewed someone that was detained at Delaney Hall and then suddenly deported. This comic follows some of their story. thank you to my patrons for the suggesting this topic, and E for willing to be interviewed.

They gave US zinester Elizabeth Soto *50 fucking years* in prison for publishing a zine that supports an anti-fascism stance. Prosecutors also used her feminism themed zine, and an anti-AI zine as evidence against her. This is unprecedented.

AI in schools denies your child the opportunity to learn!! Great testimony!

I LOVED @edidin.bsky.social's testimony to the @council.nyc.gov about the need for a moratorium on "A.i." in the public schools. He made an incredibly good point: why should NYC trust anything "A.i." companies promise about student privacy when they've stolen from thousands of creatives?

this is his gofundme btw. would encourage everyone else who can to chuck this fella a couple quid www.gofundme.com/f/get-artist...
