Perform empathy. Please. Perform the fuck out of it. It's so good to act with kindness. I hope it penetrates to a place where you feel it, too, but if you must act some way, act the right way. I'm not here to judge your authenticity, I just want you to be kind, thoughtful, and mortified by meanness.

I don’t mean to sound extreme, but I don’t think we should have torture camps for people with criminal records either.

Happy new year ♥︎ the cycle starts again 🌅 drew this for my Patreons for solstice, but wanted to share it here now that 2025 has arrived. #sfedrawing

Y’all got them dogs pushing the buttons forming complex ideas Nope… not me i need an idiot

I'm on the sixth violently loud evacuation text warning of the day and while I guess it makes sense to close 2025 the way it opened I gotta say I could really do without this One Last Anxiety-Inducing Thing.

I want to do more cover art in 2026, so I'm going to be insufferable about mentioning that from now on. Commissions OPEN.

I preordered WORST MAN with my local indie bookshop and if you're a sucker for romcoms with gorgeous art and impeccable acting, you should too! I've been blessed with peeks at this OGN over the last couple years and each was better than the last because Ro, Ted, and Frank are simply the BEST.

FACTS! The gay hockey show is CANADIAN CONTENT, kids - and it shows.

last NYE at a party this guy said I’d have to come around on AI eventually and I look forward to reporting back, one year later, that I actually hate it even more

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality. And trans lives are grounded in reality. We see y'all. No matter what. www.popsci.com/science/tran...

A huge part of the book-banning project aims to make work that provides a public good feel impossible and unsafe! It targets authors, absolutely, but it’s also trying to add unreasonable administrative burdens to the work of teachers and librarians.

the last couple weeks between Plurb and Heated Rivalry has been a lot of "I can mentally game out where this scene is headed but everyone involved is so good at what they're doing that it still feels taut and thrilling to behold" AND THAT'S COOL

I promise you, great App Makers in the Sky, I do not need a Spotify Wrapped-style summation of how I used every single one of your platforms over the last year. Especially not from partiful, whose utility I recognize but is regularly foisted upon me against my will.

reminder:

that WSJ article about wheelchairs at the airport obviously sucks shit but it points to another issue which is Americans are so thoroughly worked over by constant and omnipresent scams that they now see anything which benefits another person as merely a scam that they are not in on

heated rivalry episode five (5)

This is petty and gross on so many levels, but what stands out to me is that binding is the one thing kids absolutely WILL keep doing and that tons of them WILL get hurt when there's no safe equipment to do it with. "Irreversible damage" my ass

I'm doing a series of variants for TITANS, first one with Cyborg for TITANS #33 =)

the brightest version of the future has you in it, thriving, existing as who you want to be. Let the adults fight for that world - what we need is for you to survive to live in it

what I want trans kids, queer kids, and gender nonconforming kids to know: you are loved you are so much more powerful than the ghouls using your healthcare as a political pawn, and you WILL outlive them (they know this, and it is why they're attacking you)

Any Democrat who thinks it's appropriate to "find common ground" with the Republicans on issues like high school sports teams is negotiating with a political party that does not believe trans people should exist. This policy will kill people, so maybe stop wringing your hands about volleyball.

Congratulations, those of you who decided to platform fringe voices and create a climate of fear and hate out of ignorance because those voices insisted a non-problem was a problem. They're now on an HHS stage trying to ruin children's lives. You will live with the harm you have done forever.

Just a reminder that he has no fucking degree in any sort of health-related field and he can fuck all the way off into the goddamn sun with his fucking incoherent word-salad.

It's a whole of government effort to eradicate trans people from society. This is just the first step. They're coming for all of us.

Update on Project Sacramento: I have a complete A-Z set that I'm reasonably happy with. Haven't decided yet if I should release the sentence-case version or the all caps version first.

I think considerably less of any job candidate who believes and parrots this dogshit, but even less still of employers who would say it to begin with.

“I don’t care what anyone says, I l̶i̶k̶e̶ love that movie.”

If I had a nickel for each instance of ALL THE THINGS SHE SAID by t.A.T.u. in film/tv that prompted multiple messages from my friends referring to it as “a needle drop you specifically are going to lose your mind over” I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice.

Let me understand you correctly, governments can care that people are being murdered?

The 2026 city budget proposes eliminating library vacancies and cutting about half the funds for new materials, security, and custodial services. https://bit.ly/4aMCmlz

“I love you – not just your body but everything that is you. I love you deep down, past flesh, where your soul burns like a flame.” John Ostrander wrote a transgender character in 1987. And while parts of the story are sensationalized for Grimjack’s adventure, underneath is care and understanding.

surprising absolutely no one on the face of this earth, I love the hornt hockey show!!!!!!

the person who coined the expression « content creator » to describe art and entertainment deserves to be in a specific circle of hell
