Home from another great #readercon. Final bit of news...

People say you can’t love others if you don’t love yourself, but that’s not true Everyone has times when they can’t love themselves. Even then, you can still love someone else deeply If you can’t love yourself right now, please don’t worry One day, you’ll be able to love both yourself and others🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

Thank you to everyone who came out and saw me at Plymouth Art in the Park. My next show is Belle isle the first weekend of August.

Morning! I’m Buddy, writer and cartoonist. My fiction’s available at BuddyGoodboy.com/fiction. Lately I’ve been working in physical media! That first pic is a doodle gift for @astrozone.bsky.social, who I’m tagging in to this thread. :)

Kids need/deserve traumatic films. Films that show death or lasting consequences that aren't resolved almost instantly. Fear, anger, grief and frustration should be part of kids movies. Kids arent stupid, they feel big emotions just like adults, they deserve to see those experiences reflected back.

There's plenty Bluesky alternatives where you can just log with your Bsky accounts and bypass age verification / force doxxing by websites. I know people in the UK and US are being hit a lot: witchsky.app deer.social klearsky.pages.dev And others that are like Tweetdecks: tokimeki.blue deck.blue

I made a new piece today. It’s been taking up space in my brain for weeks.

I will know my arm situation more definitively after Monday when I finally get to see an orthopedic doctor. I’ll probably do some sorta store sale soon, but if anyone feels bad about my poor broken arm and would like to help, I have a Venmo… venmo.com/u/korybing

SUPER important announcement from the Chair regarding #MCFC2027 Our dates have CHANGED Join us March 19th-21st for #MCFC27: Here There Be Dragons!

As much as it pains me to have to do so, I think I'm going to have to adjust & raise some of my prices in the near future. If you would like a commission from me before that happens, I suggest getting in on the queue now! vgen.co/LizardbethArt

Happy to see that we've raised nearly $10K for World Central Kitchen ( @wck.org ) in just under two days, but we can do more, I think (remember you can adjust your donation sliders so they get more of the take). Also, you know: Lots of my books! Go get 'em.

f you see this, please tell me the worst/most baffling bit of creative feedback you've ever recieved. Mine is that I should intentionally make worse reproductions of my wife’s art because it hurt sales to be accurate.

"Mum, look!" She ignited the fire by pointing at it. "Ah. You are a sorceress. I did wonder." "Why?" "You're the seventh daughter of a seventh daughter." "I don't have six sisters. Or aunts." "They died. Most children do." "Oh." "Now, what will you do?" "I'll make sure no child dies."

The dealers staff keeps requesting people go by their table by full 3-part names. I feel like the whole dealers den is thinking “ooo, they’re in trouble” every time.

I LOST MY SON AT ANTHROCON! I somehow misplaced my Jorbo camelback water bottle yesterday in the dealer’s room. I already checked lost & found and it’s not there ;_; Plz help me find him! If you’re at #Anthrocon or know someone who is, please boost!

Anthrocon is great and lovely show and it’s truly one of my favorite conventions but I hate that I personally know like 5 great artists who applied and didn’t get into when there’s a huge dropship garbage endcap at the end of my row. How did this get in instead of some real indie artists? #anthrocon

Lil Tez and I caught a quick breakfast before the last day of events @anthrocon.org Okay maybe for him it wasn’t quite fast enough service. (Maybe I should have ordered for him.)

Last day at #anthrocon2026 dealers den is open until 4pm and I am at table i11. Come get some wall art to remember this awesome weekend.

Hammer time!

Just picked up some amazing pieces from @quackquackhonk.bsky.social Be sure to check them out in the dealers den!

Go see the return of the best panel/con the fandom has ever had! No really.

Come commission your buttons for $20 with QuackQuackHonk.

Certified badges are perfection.

Dealers den is closed for now. It reopens tomorrow at 10am. Come see me at table i11

Oocq: G is for grooming. NOT LIKE THAT!

Kinda bummed to hear people are claiming this is AI. I spent ages on this banner. My patrons saw many WIP shots and I got the fat layered PSB on my home computer. Like hell I'd touch AI. Please correct folks spreading this rumor.

Sorry Pennsylvania, you are now the state of Pascal according to Apple. I suppose you will need to update your addresses

You should know that Cory Doctorow coined the term "enshittification".

Let's keep the fire burning! www.furaffinity.net/journal/1138... We survived June, now let's thrive in July and stoke those discounted flames. $10/1k discount remains in effect through July, and applies to ALL commission types!

It is so odd that the various poll numbers always seem way off for some reason

As always

If your proof for your system not being vulnerable to something is an AI summary, chances are you are going to have a hard time. Doubling down by making a quip about how it must be “your scanner tool is obviously wrong” isn’t going to help

If you have not seen Tucked, it is a great way to wrap up pride month. It is never too late to find your family.

Fun fact: most of the awesome artists you follow don’t believe they’re all that awesome (silly, right?). But, you can totally tell them they’re awesome and repost their lovely posts to remind them that they really are great. 🥰

When the selkie returned to the beach, a man was holding her sealskin. "Is this yours?" he asked. "May I borrow it?" "You want to be a seal?" "No, but when I take it off, I'll be a woman, right?" "My heart, you already are," the selkie said. "That skin is mine, but I can help you find yours."

Due to the heat our office has closed all the blinds and reduced the lights to a minimum. I declare this as an intentional corporate siesta.

"The reason they've spent $1.4 $4 trillion on $50 billion revenue with terrible unit economics is they think that they can fire workers and corral the remainder into accepting substandard working conditions to produce substandard products." -> @doctorow.pluralistic.net

With Anthrocon coming up it's a good time to remind y'all: You don't need to drink booze to have fun! You shouldn't feel pressured to drink! You especially shouldn't feel like you need to drink till you black out!! Remember water and be responsible and safe!!!

If you ever needed something to tell you that centrist Dems have more in common with MAGA than people who want single payer healthcare and affordable groceries, here it is.
