There are a whole bunch of reasons to turn out for #nokings tomorrow but here are maybe the top two: 1) huge turnout is a signal to republicans edging away from Trump and puts steel in Dem spines. 2) least we can do to honor bravery of Minnesotans who turned the tide

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.

We need to dismantle the data centers.

Fun fact: 54% of US adults read below a 6th grade level. You have to actively remember literally over half the US adult population is *unable to perceive subtext* www.thenationalliteracyinstitute.com/2024-2025-li...

Jesus fucking Christ.

The Maxx was one of the first “Superhero” comics I ever read where the women didn’t make me feel patronized or othered and one of my first experiences where I was like “oh this is what comics can be like when the writer understands that women are people”, and that meant a lot to me as a teenager

My controversial post about *checks notes* enjoying hopeful storytelling broke containment, and normally I would mute and move on, but I started getting threats and stuff about my gender. So, I did have to delete it. Needed a social media break outside of comic updates for a bit anyway. Thanks 🙏

Amazing artists doing things the right way 💛 Grateful to be on the list & big thanks @aimeecozza.com for taking the time and effort to put this together ✨

I LOVE ARTISTS, I LOVE THE LITTLE CUTIES THEY MAKE, I LOVE THEIR DEDICATION TO THE BRAIN WORMS, I LOVE THEIR PASSION TO CREATE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Stop fucking doing this to people!!! Even the people who aren't throwing round slurs and talking about (((AIPAC))) are doing this shit. How fucking hard is it to just not do antisemitism???

This is a win for EVERY family, provider, state leader and advocate who refused to back down to this unlawful administration. Politicians have no place in our doctor’s offices.

USPS must be fought for and protected. If USPS goes away, or is made private, it will negatively impact EVERYONE. The USPS is a service and not a business. The cost for operating shouldn’t be seen as a business loss. Stand up for the USPS! 💌 CALL YOUR REPS 5calls.org

Someone patched GIMP to look and feel exactly like Adobe Photoshop. Same keyboard shortcuts. Same tool layout. Same everything. It's called PhotoGIMP and it's free.

Begging. Pleading. GlobalComics is run by techbros. They keep bringing on more techbros. If you want people to read your comic.. highly advise against GC. Their background is all AI. They implemented (and took away) an AI summary system that folks did not consent to. THEYRE SHADY.

Current WIP: VA demo reel Website (likely Neocities or something) Sapphire Queens: TMWSAW The Deathswine of Mooreston (TRYING to get a VN side project progress a-going.)

I've come to make a sad announcement... After many months... I'm coming back to social media. Sorry to everyone for this news... XD

Autistic people deserve double the pay. Because if you give them a job they are passionate about, they will pump that shit out at double the pace of a neurotypical who just enjoys their job. Ofc if your biz sucks, and you're a terrible boss, no one's gonna wanna do shit for ya.

Oh & don't forget! You don't need to wait until we get a spare moment to ask for book recommendations. We actually have this whole thing set up for everyone

another one, likely many more to be found

And somehow trans people are still the bad guys often by your run of the mill cis person, be it because you dare not like a news corporation or were too "Bitchy" about a politician.

And the media promote and celebrate bigots while ignoring women being harassed by transphobes on the streets that claim to protect women.

Perfect illustration of how the "podcasters are turning on Trump" narrative is bullshit. These guys still want the camps to churn out black smoke, they just don't want to see video of how the bodies get there.

CHIKN NUGGIT creator Kyra Kupetsky leaves BuzzFeed to protest AI requirement The creator and voice of Chikn Nuggit, Kyra Kupetsky, has left the production in protest of BuzzFeed's plan to use the series to train AI.

I'm so glad I can draw and function without using AI. I'm so glad I can do basic things like jobs without needing it at all

i love this show with all my heart just as much as i hate the fact that its in the hands of buzzfeed.

some shelley duval studies!

I really ought to get back to using Bluesky and Tumblr more again. Especially if I wanna start kicking into overdrive.

"Artists peak at 30", "30 under 30", "by 30 you should" ridiculous. Arts industries capital craves young people to exploit and burn out. It doesn't want older artists thriving and guiding the young. It also doesn't want artists to exist. Stop letting cannibals tell you you only matter on a plate.

Was given the INSANE honor of designing JaidenAnimation's holographic Secret Rare card and Box Topper for the VCardTCG Divine Chaos series. Thank you both SO much for the incredible opportunity, literally a dream come true 😭

they are a part of a larger thing I’m making but their illustrations came out really cute so………

It's just insane the degree to which the federal government has simply declared war on a U.S. state. A punitive war with no discernible objective other than to immiserate its people. bsky.app/profile/apne...

I hate it when people argue that romance doesn’t need a happy ending lol Every time you have romance creators explaining why this is a bad take and yet it continues. It’s clear that the implicit definition of “romance” being used is “any story with a romantic relationship in it”

Ok I feel I need to set shit straight because some people misunderstand my stance on shit. I believe 90% art is valuable in some way. And I've been labeled as someone who doesn't want certain topics to exist when that's simply NOT the case.

Do not take your eyes off Minnesota. They have not slowed down on their occupation and people are still afraid to leave their homes. Please check out this website for way to donate or get involved 💜 bsky.app/profile/ziib...

They... FINALLY... Added... Drafts...

I KNEW ABOUT NIKORU AND NOSTALGIASTUDIOS/SCRATFAN2004 TOO :skull: They tried joining the NeoJetix discord (run by @rollingredball.bsky.social ) and I immediately noped the fuck outta that, and told random everything I knew, while banning both accounts immediately. Predators have no place there.

As someone who used to be your friend, I think it's pathetic you're trying to return and twist the fucking narrative. We are not dumb. We won't let you rest until you fuck off again. Your ass is not welcome you fucking groomer.

NEVER FORGET WHAT THIS FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT DID, WE NEED TO GET HIM BACK OFF THE INTERNET.

Dungeon. You should have genuinely just stayed the fuck away from the internet. You should have just been outed for being a piece of shit groomer, and stayed out. You may hide from the fucking truth, but it's fucking out there you fucking dumb ass. We will not be quiet until you're gone again.

I got followed by an AI-generated yaoi porn account this morning. Instant block. Fuck you. If the yaoi smut isn't being created by an insane perverted fujoshi or fudanshi putting every ounce of their love and freak fetishes into it by hand then I don't fucking want it

Need to work. Absolutely no drive. Deadlines rushing up. Absolutely nothing done. Fuck.

I think it's important to balance the doom-talk of making a living doing comics (especially exclusively the comics that you WANT to do) by pointing out that while it is very hard and takes a few years and a lot of output to get there, plenty of folks make their living from comics.

2022 vs 2026

Natural talent is nothing compared to the ability to keep making shit long after everyone else has given up
