I remember loving Shel Silverstein's poetry when I was a kid. I remember when growing up people found out he drew cartoons for Playboy and how scandalous that was. I never got it. It wasn't from a critique of Hefner's legacy, it was the shame of being associated with sex as a children's author

Just a reminder that anti-queer and anti-trans policies aren't actually popular.

I didn't know Mamdani's wife was a comics nerd! New York, you have to vote for him now because I need at least one person in comics to have good health insurance.

This is how these conversations about how we need to support politicians who don't support us feels. I have compromised so much, but I am not your dog

LRP: calling expecting the barebone protections of trans healthcare a "purity test" really lays it all out. Newsome had a chance to fight for us and he didn't. Why does that give anyone confidence that he will fight for their rights? Democrats keep losing on these fronts bc they capitulate to them

Trans rights are civil rights. If you aren't willing to die on the hill of trans rights, then you aren't willing to die on the hill of Black rights. Of Jewish rights. Of disabled rights. Of gay rights. Of anyone's rights. Human rights.

Equating trans rights with some sort of ideological purity is idiotic at best. It's about recognizing human rights in a democracy, and people cannot be used as tools for bartering. Nobody is a bargaining chip.

I've been asked to put some feelers out on behalf of a Palestinian writer who wants to be published. Are there any publishers, small presses, etc. based in Australia that specifically boost Palestinian voices? If anyone has advice on the indie side, that will also be very welcome. Thanks 💜📚

Really, truly amazing that OpenAI wants us to believe that they are worth a trillion dollars but also they are so desperate for revenue that they created an infinite SlopTok app that opens them up to a billion lawsuits just so that they can maybe someday make it even worse by filling it with ads.

a painful part of having been in an abusive relationship is all the residual shame involved with remembering it, remembering what it did to your relationships with other people, your work, your sense of self… and how your life is organized into “before” and “after”

my hands are shaking with rage and grief. i shouldn't have to do this. the edited text on this image should not exist. this should not still be happening in 2025

Showed Ren Terminator 1 & 2. Remembered how good those movies are. God I love them. Fantastic villains. Also, probably where my love of robots and shape shifters came from

Y'know the smart thing for the government to do would be to buy up all the soybeans and create a bunch of cheap protein to give out. Good thing there hasn't been a racist scare campaign teaching the populace to be afraid of plant estrogens going on for over a decade

This is a warning to every artists and clients using PayPal: Leave the note blank or send invoices. Apparently even saying "commission" makes them trigger happy. #SaveSpeech #StopPaypros And continue the pressure by calling PayPal. Helpful link here: anti-censorship-campaign.carrd.co#phonescript

you think Frankenstein's monster is going to do something unspeakable to this woman, but it turns out he is misunderstood - he just wants to try on her clothes 😭

I did a ballpoint pen sketch while trying to get a character's design down and now I'm worried it might look better than the finished ink sketch 😫 I like it a lot!!

fiance sent this to me and i nearly threw up

Stop thinking you’re “too old”. It’s such a killer. Just take care of yourself, drink water, stretch, and just eat a vegetable every once in a while. There is SO MUCH you can still do.

The answer to why no one seems to be making new Deus Ex or whatevs is pretty much entirely that: they are, but then some guy with money goes "but that doesn't look like the game that sold well this year!" and shoots it with a shotgun All the classic Legendary games were pre-venture capital in games

Suspending Erin Biba, a Jewish woman for this skeet is nasty work. Between this and intentionally misreading Link’s use of a meme as a threat, bsky mods are more than willing to ban based on the Spirit Of The Law for *some* posters but never Jesse Singal. bsky.app/profile/aman...

It's a pretty big deal that the NYC Bar Association--one of the most prominent and respected bar associations in the country--is accusing the President of ordering the "unlawful summary execution," i.e. murder--of civilians in violation of US and international law. www.nycbar.org/press-releas...

Please hear her. Don’t let them keep thinking this kind of treatment is ok. It’s not. Please speak for Soad.

Look I know modern plas is basically a boy loser dumbass, but it's immensely funnier to imagine him as a bookworm & home ecc nerd that cares about things like garment patterning & cast iron care. He had to learn how to shape shift believably. He definitely studies mechanic manuals & animal anatomy

This is an EU proposed policy with the benign-sounding name "Child Sexual Abuse Regulation" which proposes to screen private online communications using sketchy image-scanning algorithms. It is technically unworkable, and would be a privacy catastrophe, especially for those in authoritarian states

Earlier this year, Dr. Jane Goodall sat down for an interview for Brad Falchuk’s new Netflix series, Famous Last Words. The premise of the series is to interview people on the condition that the interview not air until the subject has passed away.

I don't think motivating people to move to other platforms to avoid the stupid censorship rules is a good solution. Quite the opposite. There is NO SAFE space for artists nowadays, if we don't fight back this will only get worse and worse
