A little Lotta and Hannah for Halloween! 🎃 #AtroxArt

Today happens to be my birthday! 🥳 I've officially lived a quarter of a century. The best gift to an artist is reposting their works, and I would be happy to receive such a gift <3

Tonight's Stream Doodles (Oct 22)

Spooky gang with their favorite spooky drinks~ 👻🧟

We're in a hellscape, but thanks to @gregpak.net, @tombofnull.bsky.social & @greenpeapress.bsky.social, I now have this kickass shirt.

I'm old enough to remember signs along the road during the US invasion of Iraq that said, "Drill a well, bring a soldier home." Now the signs should say, "Build renewables to keep our troops home." Meanwhile, the petrofascists want a war over control of Venezuelan oil.

“I am not interested, nor will I ever be interested. I'm 61, and I hope to be able to remain uninterested in using it at all until I croak. ... The other day, somebody wrote me an email, said, ‘What is your stance on AI?’ And my answer was very short. I said, ‘I'd rather die.’” 🫡

Been picketing so long I’ve gone from getting emails from my union about how to avoid heatstroke to how to avoid hypothermia and frostbite. One fellow picketer is visibly more pregnant than when we started. Another broke her foot near the start and has since been cleared to remove her walking boot.

Happy ace week!

taking slots. I'm kind of broke so I need anything I can get

People saying that you need to garden, that your back yard garden will allow you to be self-sustaining and even feed other people, that you can do a full time job while having this self-sustaining garden, that you can do this gardening while disabled: Wildly fucking unhinged. Cartoon fantasy shit.

Colored these two.

This is not something I want to do, but as someone who was food insecure for a long time, here are some ways to get the most out of what you can get. -if you have dietary restrictions or food aversions, spend some time thinking about what foods are safe. It sounds obvious, but—

Bird flu is back. The virus has hit dozens of poultry flocks, resulting in the deaths of nearly 7 million farmed birds in the U.S. since the beginning of Sept. Including about 1.3 million turkeys, putting pressure on the nation’s turkey supply in the run-up to Thanksgiving. Happy Thanksgiving!

Australia's humpback whales are doing so well that their population is expected to reach carrying capacity and plateau in the near future--they have not just reached but exceeded pre-whaling numbers. For this to happen with such a long-lived, slow-reproducing species is near miraculous. #goodnews

"It matters when the government lies, because a democratic government that destroys the presumption that it's accountable for its actions will soon either stop being democratic or stop being a government."

I am begging artists in the professional field, no matter whether they’re an art director or illustrator, please please PLEASE study form and perspective. Those basics are so important! The amount of art I see daily that doesn’t use either of those foundational skills is so exhausting. 😩

Coubcil has shut off the power here for "Essential Mantainence" I'm going through my phone in the meantime and have rediscovered this video of me amusing myself during lockdown. Cinema Cat was not amused

My fellow object head enjoyers, where you at?? #animation #obsessed

🚨‼️HELLO RT PLEASE MCM COMIC CON artists ‼️🚨 One of my luggages is missing so I don’t have enough panels to display my merch, I’m fighting with my flight company to get it soon as possible… If anyone has spare panels I’ll appreciate it a lot. It will save my life today 🥲

Shelf tour thread for my fellow trinket enjoyers (Terra and Celes wanted to be in the picture, lol 😸😺 )

Include the link! The fact that bluesky doesn't aggressively suppress links is one of its best features, right up there with the nuclear block. It's great for publishers and also the only way we will ever make progress on the "didn't read past the headline" problem of social media

Records obtained by ProPublica indicate that food banks across the country were expecting more than 27 million pounds of chicken, 2 million gallons of milk, 10 million pounds of dried fruit and 60 million eggs that never arrived.

If you know anyone in Georgia, please tell them to vote! This election is extremely important 😭

A deadly "robot army" controlled by the biggest dick in the world. Yeah, we've all seen THIS sci-fi film.

If only they’d been proclaiming their love of Hitler, they could count as children well into their 40s.

This is why "you have to learn to work with it" and "adapt" are such bullshit talking points. There is no incentive for a small business like this to support this tech, the end purpose is to steamroll them

So now Mark’s creeper specs do what they are intended to do and the company can claim users are circumventing the “guardrails” and violating the TOS. Everyone gets what they want, except for the rest of us, who get screwed.

Old Soviet joke: Why do ICE agents travel in groups of three? One can read, one can write, and the third keeps an eye on the two intellectuals

I was pleased to get to write this piece for @rooseveltforward.org. With proliferation of insurer reliance on AI tools to deny claims & prior auths, workers in self-insured health plans regulated by ERISA are esp vulnerable because if harmed, no legal recourse. www.firesidestacks.com/p/ai-powered...

It's a Jane Austen kind of day

A great many of the (wonderful) stories about Ireland's (wonderful) UBI plan for artists tend to bury if not duck completely the hard cold fact that it was funded largely by Google's billion-euro settlement of tax-evasion charges. TAX BILLIONAIRES RUN THEM DOWN LOOT THEM IT WORKS

"At that point, the problem isn’t even a disagreement on the efficacy of vaccines. The problem is that Borders doesn’t know what “research” is." Real science is in serious jeopardy in this country. www.friendlyatheist.com/p/the-republ...

It's weird but it turns out that a newspaper that solely serves the purposes of billionaires is in fact absolutely useless to everyone else.

Food banks need money if you’ve got it. For everything else, contact them and ask—some can take donated meat by hunters or eggs from backyard flocks, some can’t.

Hey, all! Two months into striking, things are getting… uncomfortably tight. I’m so proud of doing my part for collective action with my BCGEU colleagues ✊, but my bank account is growling and my bills are grinning. If you’ve enjoyed my work and have the means to help out: PayPal.me/aidanmoher

You're not gonna believe who is funding the destruction of the White House. Ok, ok, maybe you will...

Morning's repose

May as well post while it's seasonally appropriate - Last year I did the art for a proof of concept for a game that we didn't move forward with. I thought it was super cute and had a lot of fun working on it.

It has been a, uh, difficult week but I have not laughed louder and harder at something in a very long time than at this.

I came across some people loading a steamship in the rain with a mobile hydraulic crane and needed to scratch it out in pencil. Recording thousands of these little moments is fun in itself as well as good practice. I always take a sketch pad with me #art #sketch
