your dead AI mother loves you so much ❤️

And I have a flat tire. Please, if anyone needs art done for them, consider hiring me.

Apparently I missed all of this after a 4 hour nap… lmao

The hottest scoop

I’ve talked to a few industry folks behind the scenes since we ran our review for the DeMonster. This is true. This game was not supposed to be this big of a hit as it’s become but I’m glad it is. Check out this dope interview by Hayes. Also play/stream it. www.inverse.com/gaming/dispa...

We're in the final 48 hours!!! Only 5k to go!!! Help support this SpOoOoOoOoky Comic!!! www.kickstarter.com/projects/phi...

I’ve been hired as an editor for a 24 page comic book project. I’m looking to hire an artist and a colorist for the production team. Must have professional experience working for bigger comic publishers, as we’re looking for names to draw in a crowd. If interested lmk below. Full page rate.

Little bit more about this as I run a pop up comic book store myself. Every B&N changes their catalogue according to their regional customer base. Indie bookstores make an effort to stock things no one else will. The reasons bookstores has made a resurgence: community. It’s actually a big deal.

When you say you need good art to make comics and that's why you need generative ai, it signals to me the narrowness of your understanding of comics and why it is that you think you can't make them

“Don’t gather some of the most brilliant activists in the industry, treat us like crap, and then expect us to do nothing about it.” After the Game Awards cancelled its Future Class programme, @alyssamerc.bsky.social talked to its former honorees www.theguardian.com/games/2025/n...

Like I COULD NOT BELIEVE last week what a fuck up it was to reject the compromise Dems offered — which was a terrible offer for us to make — the only win was if they rejected it — and they did! — Hallelujah! — and now this. Worthless cowardly fuckers.

Life’s strange I was literally at lunch with friends at the school Joyce teaches at today, and my friend Alex, who also teaches writing, was sharing stories about how Joyce was the kinda intellectual who could critique burn your body of work for over an hour and get your 🧠 💥 Lo & behold.

Reminder that, unless a creative freelancer has a spouse with a day job that offers health insurance, they likely have an ACA plan. And with the hits to creative industries the past few years, I'm guessing many qualify for subsidies. Related reminder that comic creators are freelancers.

I seem to remember whole congressional hearings about the terrible destructive force that is violence in video games and yet, there is a very strange quiet about an unregulated technology that coaches people to suicide.

I don’t know why I’m only discovering about Bugonia now but I know wtf I’m watching in theatres today

If you couldn't find any weirdness, maybe we'll just have to make some.

This was great fun to do. Give it a read if you've got a spare minute or two!

Post you from a different era. 2007 Back When I played NJ’s Stone Pony where all the Jersey legends played. Back When I was a 19 year old cool teenage musician with dreams of fitting in.

I laughed a little too hard at this

Hey if you don’t know… It’s worse than it seems

Remember, artists: when people say, “I’d buy a print of this,” they don’t mean it. That sentence itself is just a weird compliment that rarely converts to an actual print sale. It’s like if someone ate a very good hot dog and then said, “I could eat 10,000 of these right now.”

New exclusive from Boom! over at TheDemonster. Blink and you’ll miss it… No really, that’s the title. It’s been an interesting comic thus far from the “kill your darlings” team of @ethansparker.bsky.social and @grifsheridan.bsky.social & very lovecraftian. www.thedemonster.com/p/the-sapphi...

We got the chance to spotlight our lettering creative partner, @gofrankgo.bsky.social, a bit. When great lettering functions perfectly, it flows with story and doesn't call attention to itself. Frank did that especially well in one intense scene, he's magic.

Yo, honestly, guys... I was pissing my pants. I'm so happy Mikie Sherrill just became the Governor of NJ. Even my incredibly conservative dad, who always votes red, voted blue/for her - as he (must like me) is utterly sick of The Trumpsterfire.

This is a perfect example of why taste is subjective and relative to the moment in time. I mostly agree with this list but… if I were born 10 years later/Gen-Z? Absolutely no Critics reflect culture which reflect thin slices of what it means of being in the moment. That’s just story’s nature

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance. The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income. They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive. Wanna fix fraud and abuse? Fix that.

This. Compare target to Walmart… It’s literally consumer traffic choosing not to shop there. I’m all for calling it a bad economy but for real, Target did make their pyre.

Almost every outlet I’ve worked at in my career has lacked a black woman journalism voice, especially when it came to video games but also so much more. I’ve always been upset at this. Support when can.
