Techbros seem to love Tolkien, so here's an analogy to help you understand what genAI is. GenAI is The One Ring. You think your use is justified, b/c you don't have evil in your heart. But it came from evil, it is intended for evil purpose, & anything you do with it will be twisted to that end.

I know a lot of people are starting to log out for the holidays, so while we're all still here, I just want to share an important annual reminder from Comic Book Dad that you are awesome --

Maybe it’s a unicorn but can anyone recommend an kanban board maker that: 1) has an app 2) has a desktop version 3) isn’t owned by Atlassian 4) doesn’t data scrape and force AI into every gd thing When Trello is helpful, it’s really helpful, but it’s not worth all the downsides.

@funeralbeat.bsky.social just a head’s up, I was trying to look at your website to see if you have that “The Magician” riso as a print for sale (👀?) and I got this error message. It still worked on Chrome but if it wasn’t working on DuckDuckGo, it may not be working on other browsers too.

Speaking of: Do any other ADHD adults have tips for keeping ongoing tasks “on your radar”? I feel like any whiteboard or to-do lists just become background noise eventually so long-term projects are hard to stay committed to.

I always feel for Uncle Billy. ADHD icon 😔💕

"You shouldn't make art for the money" buddy I'll take it one step further and say we shouldn't have to labor for capital at all but in the meantime pay an artist

I’ll make one my own damn self.

This video essay is the perfect cross-section of why so much sucks now. Also it’s well-researched and charming af. As someone who also has a long history of sewing and garment construction, Joann was simultaneously the best and the worst. This is a brutally honest eulogy. youtu.be/4VJxJesgF8Y?...

“Well, you seem like you’re in a good mood” Thanks! I pride myself on maintaining a sense of humor in the face of unyielding dread. 😌

On one hand, it’s messed up that the US Health and Human Services Chief would skedaddle posthaste away from someone experiencing a medical emergency. On the other hand, it makes perfect sense for a Kennedy to gtfo when someone near them suddenly drops to the ground.

This is what winning capitalism looks like. Eleven people will haunt empty kingdoms while everyone else starves and burns. Congratulations, Elon, on your high score in a game no one should be playing.

Some life drawing from back in September at The Cordial Eye in Hyannis, MA.

Is there anything more blessed-feeling then when a cat curls up next to you?

🕯️Manifesting 🕯️

It’s been a while, so here is my old inking handout I made for my students…

Did anyone else have to meticulously go through every single piece of candy at the end of Halloween night and throw out all the torn or kinda unwrapped ones because the nightly news scared our parents? How’s your contamination OCD going? Because mine. is. debilitating. 👉😎👉

Shout out to my sister and her extreme disgust towards peanut butter. I always got her Reese’s, bare minimal trade required, at Halloween. 😎🎃

My husband, re: Winston Churchill. “He was like a hobbit, if hobbits were raging alcoholics.” The Queen Mary is a fun time, folks. Def. recommend.

@emkaydraws.bsky.social Hi!

Independent comics as an industry would barely exist these days without the tireless efforts of Kickstarter's staff behind the scenes. As they advise, keep supporting all the amazing projects you already are, but have their back in the process.

Question for all these lovely people: did anyone from Cartooning the Medieval start a discord or group chat? There were so many great convos that I wish could have kept going and silly niche memes I’d like to share🌷

ITS THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN LET'S GOOOOOOOOO

Saaaaaamesies. Except all the time ever for my whole life 🫠

Already on it! :D schism.org/oekaki/ (Also here's the code if anyone wants to set up their own!) github.com/satopian/pot...

Dam been writing a book about this and she just TikToked it in 90 seconds.

Got my c19 and flu boosters while I’m visiting my dad and they gave me a snack for being brave 😌🩹

I’m sure this is an oversight because he’s so tiny but why isn’t Tiny Chef listed under the “Look What’s Cooking” category, JetBlue?

Robert Redford playing a gentle incarnation of death, coming for a frightened old woman in The Twilight Zone episode "Nothing in the Dark" (1962). An extraordinary performance then, terribly bittersweet today

You ever look at something and go, “huh. Maybe I am good at thing.” One day I will make a comic of you, ladies. One day 🥲

If you see this, quote with the energy you bring to Bluesky

@theverbalthing.com I met you! ✨😄 I’ll swing back by to trade later in the show

once again it is not fucking normal to lower flags in oregon for random member of the opposing political party who was born in illinois, lived in arizona, and died in utah. this is not a normal thing they're extending to a white supremacist, it's a special thing they're doing for a white supremacist

I’m so excited for this to be a THING!!

VENUS a mini comic about girls night uniting us all 1/2

10/10, no notes

WAS THAT THUNDER?!?

I love that AI slop has self-poisoned so much that it’s yellowing and becoming easier to spot again.

Do I know comic/zine folks on Cape Cod or just off Cape? I’m headed to Mass next month after I table at Denver Zine. I’m wondering if it’s worth it to find or set up a popup since I’ll have my stuff with me

💖😭💖

Damn, this is gonna be good
