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

This one went up on Patreon and Ghost today! More sad plants trungles.ghost.io/oh-my-god-th...

DuckDuckGo has added a feature to filter out AI images from search results.

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

filing a formal discrimination complaint for a rental I'm not even applying to, because I don't want future applicants to be turned away (like my housemates and I were) because they're not the kind of "good family" this neighborhood wants 😤

my buddy and name twin Maia just released new GenderQueer merch, so naturally I ordered some so I can flaunt it out and about, further confusing the public into thinking we are the same person 🥸

me: there's a heatwave and I am sick which should be illegal. All I have the energy to do is watch Ghibli movies and knit a baby sweater also me: Soup. soup will fix me *proceeds to make a soup that takes two hours and five different pans and the food processor in 95°F heat*

Completely fascinated by the difference in my roommate's and my relationship to transition time. I need like at least half an hour to get myself together before a thing; my roommate is asleep and their friend is supposed to be arriving for dinner and games in five minutes

With the awful news from the last couple hours, this post from the political optimism subreddit helped to break through a bit of the despair fog. Repubs know this is political suicide, ICE's support is crumbling despite the budget increase, and there's a myriad of ways to fight back. Keep strong.

Surely, SURELY the grass around my apartment doesn't need mowed every three days? Surely the management company could fix my windows like I requested three times in the past month instead? please the bugs are fleeing the lawn and falling on my face while I'm trying to read in bed every evening

My friend Liam and I just released a mini-zine to celebrate being two years post-op from top surgery!

Applying for housing is a nightmare because my smart financial decisions have meant I am a ghost to capitalism. Never owned a car, don't have a credit card, did grad school at the slowest pace possible so I could pay out of pocket instead of take out loans. It's like I don't exist

Also, here's a high-quality scan of my last poster painting. If anyone wants to use it for anything. You are welcome to do so (print, web, flyers, etc.) (Do I have to say don't sell it??? Thanks.) Anyway, "Make it dangerous to be a fascist before they make it dangerous to NOT be." I love you.

it was so hot today that the amtrak conductor announced over the intercom that the reason our train had been stalled for over an hour was because the steel rails were warping and bending in the heat. Love 2 live during climate collapse💃

it's make a terrible comic day and this... this is a terrible comic. Drawn in 5 minutes in my notes app with my finger in a moving train. I am never making comics this way again 😂

just sat next to a guy on the train who, after watching me knitting a baby sweater for an hour, asked if I'd "invented" the pattern myself (no, I bought it from a pattern designer, I just chose the yarn), and then with full confidence said "well you could just ask ai to invent a pattern for you"

I've volunteered for crisis lines and this whole thread is really really good advice for surviving the super bad brain weather 💜

I found some beautiful spotted salamanders this week under a scud of decomposing leaves and the rental market is so bleak here I'm considering just moving into their window well with them
