Here are the latest trends in comics censorship from 2025. As you might expect, more comics are being targeted and in particular, manga is feeling the heat. So, too, are adaptations, women's non fic, and more. Big thanks to @anuncivilphd.bsky.social for her insights. bookriot.com/trends-in-co...

The division between "fine art" and "porn" is fake. Porn is art. Porn is so beautiful.

Things in the US and intentionally are getting worse for trans people right now. If you're reading this, if you enjoy my porn, if you cum to images of trans people, it is your moral obligation to speak up and fight for us. Otherwise, get the fuck away from me.

Zero tolerance is the ONLY and FITTING response to genAI being used in production of media. Sure, you might think it's too harsh. Sure, they might've only used it for early stuff in development, etc Listen, it's not even a SLIPPERY slope, there is NO friction at all unless we speak out against it.

Don't threaten me with a good time.

@anyaustin.bsky.social got a bunch of people to guess how many trees are in skyrim and then donated $10,000 to Palestine Children's Relief Fund so that at least warrants watching him derive forestry sciences from first principles

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...

at this point it feels kind of ridiculous to believe that capitalism *isn't* entirely propped up by a cabal of billionaire child abusers

Fuck generative AI

"concept artists can experiment with AI to make their lives easi-" wrong I smack you with Claire Hummel's immaculate and detailed understanding of costume design, which she got by studying historical references, which made her strong, which you will not become by relying on AI get good

I take it all back we should absolutely let AI run the vending machines

Amazing!! Women Help Women (womenhelp.org) is manufacturing their own abortion pills in order to make abortion safer, simpler and more accessible across borders. They designed an eco-friendly combi-pack that's easier to mail discreetly and centred around women’s experiences and needs.

Mood:

YES! I am so excited to see this! 😃

We all know Clarke's "sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" Well we have corollary:

"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

They banned Elatsoe in Florida 😭 My mystery about a girl and her ghost dog!!!

I'm begging any artists still using Twitter claiming it's integral to their work to just leave. It's been revealed the site works off a made up "credit score" from hell and punishes you for posting like a normal human being. Abandon Twitter for good. It's time. It's been time.

Hard same.

NSFW Transhet Art Share! 🔞 I want to see your pairings that include trans characters getting frisky with characters of other genders! This includes (but isn't limited to) trans guys with gals, trans women with men or whatever you feel fits! Share your art and projects in the comments!

My hot comic take is all wfh comic shit should be paid a salary, every other week, like everyone else at the publishing company. I’m tired of hearing about our colleagues crowdfunding funerals and healthcare.

Oh hey friends! It’s been a while since I updated this so just wanted to check whether there’s anyone new I should add! go.bsky.app/EqJRXC1

Since people seem interested: You can download editable perspective grids for CSP, which let you change the angles and even the fisheye effect: assets.clip-studio.com/en-us/detail... Turn on snap to special ruler and you're off to the races, your pen will follow the perspective guides.

Happy Caturday!

This is your occasional reminder that, if you like Neil Gaiman's stuff, but can't bring yourself to like it anymore for justifiable reasons, Tanith Lee is the author he is credibly accused of extensively cribbing from, and her work is on Audible, and AMAZING.

never put more than 75% effort into a single page. Save the major background for the establishing shot and imply the rest through gradients, color blurs if you have to. If a background doesn't add anything you couldn't tell the story without, you might not need one. several jobs for one person!

One of my favorite things to do is wander the stacks in libraries and bookstores- recommend you do the same.

Nothing is stopping you from making art. Nothing. Nobody. Ever.

"I say we take off and nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure."

I actually gasped when I saw that this resource guide was put out there to help folks. *That's* what I'm talking about. Librarians are the freaking best, y'all. Book it. Done.

I am fascinated with the designs of products in fictional settings. And this website (Speculative Identities) is hitting on all cylinders for me. The creative thought and process that goes into what often amounts to background noise is worthy of closer inspection. www.speculativeidentities.com

Sharing this for no reason other than that I need money for groceries and rent and because I'm looking for a job.

Blender is struggling. it's the best piece of 3d software on the market, and it's free. I'm not going back to autodesk. please donate if you can! fund.blender.org

I may or may not be in Vermont. About to check out the Non-Fiction Comics Festival.

I am shooting my shot. I love writing op-eds. @teenvogue.com was my main outlet, but if there are any others (especially independently ran) that are looking for a contributing writer on race, gender, and the economy, I'd love to work with you. Signed, A Black woman who writes for the public
