fantastic thread from cartoonist Steve Lieber

did my PT too hard and injured myself in a fresh new way, having a body is a scam

Why comics creators must fight the proposed censorship of H.R. 7661

I've been getting back into comics while I wait for more info from my concept job, and I thought I'd make a post about something very important to me, which is COMIC PANEL VARIATION and HOW TO THINK ABOUT IT.

my housemate Michael knocked an entire jar of pickled jalapeños off the kitchen counter and somehow, as the jalapeño juice was airborne, the cat ran DIRECTLY under it, soaking himself in spicy water 😭

5yo has started making up his own jokes. After I told him the joke "what does a dog wear to bed? ...PUPJAMAS!" his follow-up joke was: Q: What does a bear wear to bed? A: BLOOD 👹 incredible, terrifying, no notes

there's a local puppet show and all I know about it is that it's a story about "courageous potatoes" that "speaks to more than just being a potato"

WASHINGTON AND OREGON CARTOONISTS: Seattle's bus service is commissioning 6 artists for public art pieces, 2 each, of local stories, 16-32 pages, over 2026, for $54k per artist, to be freely distributed over their ridership. details here: www.4culture.org/grants/movin...

I quit Spotify for the Reasons, so no Spotify Wrapped for me this year, and honestly I feel.. . Free

Books With Pictures is my hometown local comic book store. I've painted faces, shelves, and a mural there. One summer I read books to kids in their garden every week. It's an important community space and it needs our help!

have been building a fortress made of scones and soup and knitting projects and twinkle lights and baby snuggles to keep the Horrors from taking over my entire brain, it is a full-time task

shoutout to my housemate Michael, who couldn't remember the name for soot sprites and instead has been calling the little guys hanging in the corner of our house's comics library "dust boys"

our nonstandard offering to trick-or-treaters was VERY popular this year (we had a bowl of candy too)

Are you makings zines yet? Are you teaching other people how to make zines? Are you proselytizing about the good word of zines? I've finally updated my website with all of my zinemaking worksheets available to download & use for free. You can find them linked here: studiokori.neocities.org/zines

My dad, explaining AI to my mom: “It doesn’t think. It copies stuff wrong.”

me, magnanimously: "Welcome to your new lives in the surveillance state." My dad, who is standing on a patio chair, power drill in one hand as he screws a solar-powered ChickenCam onto his backyard chicken coop: "what"

oh no I am THIS close to tipping over the edge from "guy who forages acorns and a few edible species of mushrooms in the fall" into "guy who operates an experimental natural foraged dyes lab in the basement"

My housemate won an Ignatz award at SPX this year and so naturally my housemates and I are building a little gravity-powered vehicle out of a moldy, rusty rollerskate we found in a free box so that the Ignatz brick can be entered into an annual Brick Race in a small town a few hours drive away

do u think I can get more autistic if I take extra strength tylenol instead of regular from now on? do we think this will work

Trans rights are not the rights of a tiny minority, trans rights are everyone’s rights to self-determination, control of our bodies, and a society where opportunity and aesthetics are not restricted by sex assigned at birth You should support and defend trans people because trans people are people

just got my covid + flu vaccines and unfortunately I can now feel every bone in my body. there are, possibly, too many

Gonna write some brief troll mitigation tips for you all because like any successful, happy woman on the internet, i’ve had ‘em Tips break down into two main areas: 1. Defensive tactics: how not to make it easy for them 2. Offensive tactics: fuck ‘em up 🧵:

"oof, bad day on the internet" I say, literally every time I open the internet

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars. OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

during the 4 days I was out of town, my roommates bought & then hauled a GIGANTIC piece of furniture shaped like a boat across town, on foot, in the dark, to put in our art studio. It's so big they had to take the sliding doors off their tracks to get it inside. I love living with unhinged art kids

small batch of Sunbird shirts up from Soft Hand, last to be printed in a while - 100% of proceeds going to direct aid to Gaza softhand.bigcartel.com/product/sunb...

my phone replaced the POWER BUTTON with an ai "assistant" and i literally had to do a search to figure out how to turn off/restart my phone, are we in hell

made Creatures with the 4yo. Then my housemate made fan art of them. god, being alive is so cool sometimes

Look you just have to make the cool weird shit that excites you. You must. In this world besieged by bland, scrubbed boring, computer slop, you must. Make the thing you’re embarrassed to make, the thing that feels “too much” because otherwise we get drowned in a sea of cowardly work made by a button

Art and the Perpetual Hole a journal comic about surviving the horrors I love you (pages 1-3 of 11)

I would take a cataclysmic meteor for this pterodactyl the 4yo drew as a game piece for a board game

4yo now mistakenly believes that a falafel gyro is called a "situation" because when setting all the components out for him to assemble on his plate I said "this is a 'build-your-own' situation" 😂

this has been the most stressful housing transition of my LIFE and that INCLUDES when I got divorced and moved into a basement with housemates off of Craigslist in the early days of the pandemic, but THE LEASE IS SIGNED AND THE U-HAUL IS BOOKED hallelujah

I am him and he is me

Roommate moved out and took all the measuring cups+spoons so I just made muffins using pure gay audacity and freezer bananas and good news lads: they are edible

Smoke detector roused me at 6am (there was no fire, turns out it's just faulty) which marks the SECOND time in a week of calling the nonemergency line for the fire department; the other time was for friends whose apartment was filled with gas. If I had a nickel, etc

do u ever feel like u conned all ur friends into being friends with u or r u neurotypical

had a real "did someone curse me, is mercury in gatorade" moment yesterday when SIMULTANEOUSLY my housing fell through, my roommate's movers showed up and charged me $2k more than expected, and the co-op called to tell me the food I'd just eaten was recalled

I caught a grasshopper and put it in a bug house for 2 hours of observation. 4yo offered it a variety of foods: random plant bits from the yard, some lunchmeat "in case he's a carnivore." So, uh, the kid now believes grasshoppers hunt the wild turkeys that live in the nearby woods for sustenance

this is beautiful and well worth the read. Don't let them make a monster of you. Don't stop making beautiful things. 💜

I have chosen my next set of housemates well

this comic about food justice (and shame, and community, and mutual aid, and survival) by Kori is SO SO SO GOOD
