Instead of continuing to debate the morality of engaging with books written by a particularly evil TERF…check out this starter pack and financially support these trans artists! 🏳️‍⚧️ go.bsky.app/5NHKfmC

Anyway, as this seems rather important today, if you want to support trans artists and hear their stories we have a massive 'trans and nb' comics resource list here at @brokenfrontier.bsky.social for your enjoyment. www.brokenfrontier.com/tag/trans-an... #transrightsarehumanrights

everyone’s discussing how financially stupid this is and they’re right but it’s also logistically stupid. zero way to charge foreigners and not locals without a hell of a lot of racism coming out in the wash

Every time I post about endometriosis and dare to make it, gender inclusive, I always get a lot of comments from people angry that I didn’t just say “women” And every time, I think about how Rowling has enough money to cure endometriosis forever. But she doesn’t actually give a fuck about women.

the girl guides in the UK just kicked out all their trans members specifically bc they were threatened with a lawsuit from a rowling-funded group

Instead of watching anything related to the terf supreme series, watch the Witch Hat Atelier anime streaming in 2 weeks for a well thought out magic education universe with complex characters and an author who continues to support LGBT causes. Better yet read the manga for the most stunning art

Just wanna say that if you’re supporting financially an artist during these demanding and insane times, you’re amazing. And if you can’t, I feel you so much. Navigating life rn is batshit crazy

For no reason at all, what about sharing some trans friendly MG/YA books for #TransRightsReadathon, hmm? Or for any time of the year, really! - Splinter & Ash, by Marieke Nijkamp; - The Prince and the Dressmaker, by Jen Wang; - Scarlet Morning, by N.D. Stevenson; - This Is Our Rainbow (anthology);

If you can’t stop caring about Harry Potter but you appreciate that ethically you have to then help yourself to. Do a spell and live free

I feel like a lot of people who aren't tuned in think J.K. Rowling's transphobia is the typical celebrity case of "oh, they just made some off-color comments one time several years ago", and not a single-minded genocidal obsession which has utterly consumed her entire goddamn life.

Me standing in line waiting for the AI crash

The capitalist ghouls who refer to what was once art as "IP" and "content" want nothing more than for you to convert from Producer to Consumer. Producers are competition. Consumers are profit.

Next week there will be another existential boogeyman designed to discourage you from pursuing art. There will always be a mosquito in your ear trying to convince you your creativity has no value. Let this Sora situation be a lesson. Stop getting pushed around by scammers. Make art

This website shows you how much money is being siphoned off from artists by AI slop on Spotify. Over $2.5 million lost by real people - and that's just from 50 AI ‘artists’. Slop dilutes royalties. A major reason AI training on copyrighted work should not be considered fair use. sloptracker.org

My mental state these days

tough and smooth

fear heightens every minute, especially when spent online. but to artists, writers, independent publishers, and those who share our work : I am grateful for the way you have painted our hellborn landscape. sharing is caring. you never know who might need to see something, or need to be seen.

things are incredibly hard right now. I am so grateful to those who manage to support artists financially. I am also grateful for those who take the time out of their day to share and engage with artwork, to amplify projects and people even if there's no money to spare. that's worth something, too.

This cartoon is from 2007. What does that tell us?

crawls out from under my own corpse to look at the girls

death of the author is intended as a framework for literary analysis that entails disregarding paratext and the intentions of the creator in order to create an "objective" analysis of a text. it's not intended as a way to absolve yourself of guilt for financially contributing to a creator who sucks

And because I've seen the comparison: This is not an H.P. Lovecraft situation of "separate the art from the artist." Lovecraft is a century dead. He's not alive right now, trying to suppress records of his yacht visiting Epstein Island and swearing to make the lives of millions of ppl unlivable.

Is this a good time to once again repost this Something Positive strip that Dear Uncle Randy made a few years back? Answer: Unfortunately, it is. It shouldn't have to be, but it is.

This is the tiniest, most passive, easiest imaginable way to show a scrap of solidarity. People this will hurt are asking you for basically nothing. If you’re not willing to give that, you genuinely deserve to be judged.

No one is trying to tell you that you are not allowed to feel nostalgic for what Harry Potter may have once meant to you as a kid; they are literally just asking you to not fund their destruction.

Seems only right to kick off patreon sticker club with a mischievous little guy

I think that everyone who was right about AI being bullshit should be allowed to vote twice in their national elections.

Despite the never ending thunderstorm of liquid shit that we're all forced to endure every day in this country, kids still want to draw and make comics and cartoons. They're excited about creativity and making stuff. My extremely hopeless 41 year old brain is feeling genuinely encouraged.

This is the really big news here imo, its not just the sora app thats gone but chatgpt wont be doing videos either. This is a massive hit to openAI. Hopefully this hit causes internal bleeding that kills them as painfully as possible.

still drawin comics

Re: my last reposts “Do not put money in the pocket of a woman who has sworn publicly to use it to disenfranchise vulnerable populations” is the smallest ask imaginable. It’s not oxygen, it’s not food. It’s television. You can do without. There are thousands of other shows for you to watch.

The games industry and the YA comics industry are booming they say, making money hand over fist, and yet, all the workers in both these fields are constantly pushed to their limits, underpaid, and then laid off. These industries are booming only for those at the top. Capitalism is a pyramid scheme
