This is why I’ve said time and time again that working in comics as a creator full time is unsustainable. My quality of life immediately improved when I got a full-time job and only took on comics/freelance projects I wanted to take on and not taking all jobs out of necessity.

It's that day again. Hope you have a good one.

Calling in sick for International Women's Boxing Day

sometimes I worry I have a terrible memory then I remember I still know my 6th grade locker combination, the first time I perfectly folded a fitted sheet, the color of the ribbon I used to first learn the knot to tie my shoes--it's not my awful memory, it's my memory's perplexing prioritization

it’s actually a huge problem that we don’t teach legal realism at most law schools, let alone high schools

International Women's Day is a day of protest and collective action. 'Woman's Day' was first recognized in the US in 1910 following the 13 week long strike of 20,000 female garment workers. Four years later on this day in Russia, bread riots led by women fed directly into the 1917 revolution.

And I swear to you the Venn diagram of people who don't want gay characters in kids' shows and people who demand that antiblack cartoons from the past remain uncensored and free of warning labels is a single circle.

People act like people like me are demanding purity And no I’m just a broke black trans person who wants me and my disabled wife to like…live and not get shit on For my friends not to be war casualties Like sorry that the folks you are desperate to defend don’t care if my people die

Me, picking up a newspaper today.

I won’t wax nostalgic about the 80’s in general, but I do miss when more of the people making movies either didn’t give a fuck about giving kids nightmares, or they absolutely made that their goal.

if you want to know how important it is for you to do this math: the fees patreon took from me in 2025 add up to roughly 3 months of income. that's 3 months of income i would have paid taxes on if i didn't deduct the fees from the 1099. 3 months of income i never actually had!

If you follow a lot of visual artists, I can recommend "The 'Gram" feed. It only shows posts with an image in chronological order from all accounts you follow. No text posts, no QRP, no reposts. Very nice to catch up on art ◡⁠‿◡

Butterfly's like "let's see how you like it" The music is by Alfred Schnittke and it's got that sort of nightmare tension that's necessary here

Reminder that pinning an image-only feed is peak. People tend to say what annoys them, but show what they enjoy. So vibes are always better. It also makes interacting with art/cool things way easier. And its helped me be online more without flooding my brain with the bad. bsky.app/profile/why....

Critics dismissed Hopper’s Soir Bleu (1914), so he kept it for life. The rejection set his course early: crowds without comfort, company without connection—public solitude long before fame arrived.

I remember learning about the Hays Code in film school and how it made it so that any amoral protagonist had to meet karmic justice by the end of the film and going “wow, that’s really silly” and then once a week I log online and see people argue that we need stuff like that now or it’s problematic

Go buy some books from Split/Lip! Don’t make them try to ship stuff home. They have such wonderful and off kilter books. And, I’m a little biased, but the covers are kind of pretty.

It's valid to tell people "I have plans" if your plans are to sit on your couch. That's a type of plans
