when companies come crawling back from the ai bubble burst and need Premium Grade Artist Labor again

Not only is HP doing active harm to members of our Trans community (and trust that that’s more than enough reason to not support it), but there’s also frankly far better stories, books and IP out there.

it’s not hyperbole, JKR literally said support for HP is support for her transphobia and she uses the money she makes from it to TRY TO TAKE OUR RIGHTS AWAY if you watch that show please don’t ever speak to me again trans lives are more important than your fandom of a terrible human’s IP

IMPOSSIBLY important to rally against this - vote NO, fight against banning books

Thinkin’ about my Mexcellent comfort carbs.

O’Hare already has an ICE presence and I heard from a very reliable source that Midway is happening soon.

Insert gallows humor joke about people of color not being there anyway because we're never selected as paid guests and can't afford the trip.

Plans will have to be altered by an already vulnerable part of this community. Not out of discomfort but threats to their existence. Booth, travel and hotel fees will be lost. Networking opportunities will need to recognize the reason for absence isn’t a lack of “hustle” it’s a matter of privilege

as a culture we have really given "ideas" way too much credit. ideas are a dime a dozen. they happen all the time. the magic is way more in the doing, and the doing's diminished stature is linked to lack of respect for labor and, more recently, skill and expertise.

It’s as easy as shutting your effin mouth! And did I mention… it’s free?!

Submitted my comment. Also call politicians. Really make them scared and make it about money. Tell them that this will destroy the tourism and the money it brings in to the state, because that is the only thing these people care about.

Do not pander. Do not dumb down. Trust your audience to be smarter than you. Trust them to be curious. Don’t erase your own voice for spurious bowing down to factors that bring nothing to the stories you need to tell. #Writing

Cancelled my airline reservations and getting a refund. If you can help it, you should cancel yours too. The only thing these airlines care about is money, so if we hit them there then MAYBE we might see an adjustment. Also, Fuck ICE.

The Superman: The Animated Series pilot's account of Krypton's destruction being attributable to a society offloading all their critical thinking to an artificial intelligence program has aged like wine

I don’t know what’s more OOF, the art or the “explanation”. Absolutely wild work (and not in the “I’m wild about it” way tho)

the sad reality: your favorite local haunts (that indie bookstore with the queer book club, the game shop that hosts tcg nights, the cafe with local art shows, etc) are always teetering on the edge of closure every single month. just a reminder to show these places love whenever you can.

There's currently an $18 mountain of Love & Rockets and associated comics on Humble Bundle, and I'm going to be overseeing a low-key Discord book club to read it all over the course of a year or so. www.humblebundle.com/books/love-a...

the first time i flew to the US in 2007 I took a bottle of aftershave my wife had bought my for xmas. a border guy at LAX took it out of my bag, looked at it and just straight pocketed it. extrapolating that out into what ICE are gonna do is like a line going straight to hell

Historically accurate Batman Beyond

This is completely unbearable. But also like… why are his insane ramblings never summarized like this in the media? We gotta wait for a substack guy to put it together like this?

Imagine not wanting trans rights Extraordinarily cringe behavior

it's a beautiful day to help a neighbor, pet a dog, and say trans rights

I fear we’re gonna get a lot of mileage out of this Barret meme.

Confident in my artwork, trapped by poverty

I’ve never been more glad I don’t have to travel for any reason anytime soon. At least the traveling I will be doing will be via roadtrip. All of this is madness and exhausting BS just nonstop. 🫩

Finally got around to seeing Zootopia 2 today and gotta say this is probably my fave frame from the movie

People at Airports: Don't take your frustrations about long lines out on TSA agents. Thank them for showing up unpaid. Pick up you phones and take your frustrations out on worthless Republicans in Congress that blocked paychecks for TSA agents so ICE can continue kidnapping children on the streets.

Today!!

We don’t have universal healthcare for the same reason that white southerners poured cement into their community swimming pools rather than let their black neighbors swim in them. Racism is ruining ALL of our lives.

Ready to go at Sac-Con! Stop by Stacked Deck Press at table D12 for cool, LGBTQ+ comics! Pick up a copy of the Lammy-nominated Come Out and Play: The Queer Sports Project! Ask Tiffany about cool merch like stickers, wristbands, and ball caps!

Boosting this again before the weekend: Go leave a comment! The Bureau of Land Management is proposing a plan to increase logging 4x the current amount, cut down old-growth forests, and undo environmental protections in the PNW! It only takes a couple minutes to leave comment!

J.K. Rowling's anti-trans stance was exposed in 2019. Almost 8 years ago. Listen to queer folks! There is no excuse to be supporting this hateful author in 2026. 🏳️‍⚧️💙🏳️‍🌈

This calendar/resource created by Space Type is AWESOME! www.artbookfairs.com "Find events and opportunities for your favorite art book fairs, zine fests, comic cons, artist alleys, and craft markets." So detailed and useful.

I just want all artists to succeed and make cool shit. I want a world where all artists could just make so much art that every story can find its audience and every audience can find its story. I just want to live in a world where we can all bask in the joy of getting to make and participate in art.

My brain hurts because what even is time. Coulda sworn I was watching this and laughing at this for the very first time yesterday. Alas! At least Rainbow road is still a road that you go to die. 🌈🏎️

the intense Buffy nostalgia is not really nostalgia, I think, just longing for the best show to ever explain that you have to keep on fighting the Big Bads even when you don’t want to do it anymore
