A friend asked me recently, how I think we will get out of this dark period, if at all and... All I could think to say was essentially: The same way our kind has always survived the dark. By gathering close around a fire and telling each other stories of hope & better days and how we'll get there.

I love how they have the Manning brothers like narrating and explaining football to people for Monday Night football.

If you come to my comments looking for me to police someone's free speech about one of the last decades most prolific bigots and violent stochastic terrorists I will block you. I'm not interested in discussing it. Asking a nonbinary person to tone police other's opinions on this is gross... GTFO!

I just backed SHARP EYE - Issue 1 on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/sha... Been a fan of @simonroy.bsky.social and @vor-bokor.bsky.social since my comics/nerd baby Tumblr era and am excited to see where this Sharp Eye thing goes, check it out and back it!

Hey all, only 8 days left on this awesome one-shot puritan horror comic I've been editing for Wells and Team, please check it out, like, support, reskeet, and share. Help us make this indie comic a reality!! Let's go witches!

Somebody Somewhere is chaotic, sweet, and fun so far, I am sad I slept on it this long. There are these bittersweet little moments that just shine so brightly and might even make you cry a little.

Other genders exist as a matter of fact, it's not an opinion thing, it's not a "vibes thing" it's a literal scientific fact about our species. Conservatives have long held facts that don't align with their indoctrination to be an assault of their beliefs, like the earth not being flat, for example.

Oh no, not me watching trailer park boys at 1am playing cassette beasts and trying to think about what I wanna do with my free speech (whilst I still have it) The weekend beckons us all and I hope you find the rest you need to keep on fighting, friends ♥️

Matt Emmons is one of my favorite cartoonists and you should buy everything he makes pretty much as soon as you can.

Into my veins. 😋

Death to the Wizard Kings is awesome and a gorgeous book.

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

Walz: “A tank by Chipotle doesn’t make anyone safer. It’s dumb, it’s theater — and funny how the ‘Don’t Tread on Me’ crowd is nowhere to be found.”

I love making comics so much. I love figuring out the pacing, how much to show vs tell, composing each panel and the page as a whole, clever little sound effects or lettering touches, finding ways to streamline the process without compromising quality. ☺️ Ideal story-telling medium if you ask me.

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.

Stop what? Homeless people existing and having nowhere to go in the whole northwest except Portland or Seattle? How? Crime? What crime? Petty theft and small time gang-shit that doesn't compare to almost any other major city. Lumbertwinks and clown-lesbians? What is he gonna stop exactly?

Floating around rose city day 2 soon! 😎

I really would love to see the "2nd amendment as religion" republicans stand up to their own lawmakers on this but I sincerely doubt they will. Yes, I do think we need stronger gun regulations, but this is far from one of them. Might buy a gun or two when I can just because of this nonsense.

welp, this looks like my jam.

The queerest thing about me is possibly that my empathy is always bigger than my anger.

We are down to the final days, people this is not a drill!!

I am making an effort to watch more weird movies. I am currebtly watching "Junkhead" its free on tubi and awesome?!?! Stop motion animation!!!

I love when you finally get to meet and chat with a digital friend and what could have been a thirty minute or hour long call turns into like a three hour long call. Sometimes you just really do find your people on this goofy interweb machine.

"men are the emotional gender" is one of the craziest things I've heard a "men are better at leading" dude say in a debate. Holy shit. "We are better at confrontation and aggression" I think people have proven that we are (nationally) getting dumber.

Amy Luers the "author" is the senior global director for Sustainability Science and Innovation, Microsoft-- So... this is propaganda, but even within this she is saying she thinks Datacenters currently consume around 4.5% of our countries' electricity and predicts that could become as high as 12%

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like

Let's talk about another mythological beast in need of more love: the Cockatrice- a terrifying blend of a scaley or serpentine monster and a rooster. Hatched from a rooster's egg incubated by a reptile, toad, or snake instead of a chicken. Some said to have poison, venom, or even noxious breath.

Tiger I inked in 2017 I still like it

Disappeared, right before my eyes

Hey, get the heck in here and back the Testament & Faster Reprint on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/bul... I have the original Faster but want this juicy new one, and Testament looks fantastic.

Look at this trio of Dunder Mifflin rejects brag about needing national guard troops to hold down a train station and protect it from "Vagrants" How much do you want to bet that if someone counted the money it would be far less expensive to feed, house, and care for those folks instead??

How we Brunch.

I need opinions. Should my weird shoebill griffons be able to cast a bunch of spells or should their hides be so magic resistant that they can't get away with most spells because they simply fizzle. A Clack Clack and a bow of gratitude for your thoughts.

Everybody today for some reason:

If you haven't read PRECIOUS METAL yet, what are you waiting for??

Can and will.

Today's folk monster: the hodag! Scourge of northern Wisconsin.

Today is the birthday of Trina Robbins (Aug. 17, 1938-April 10, 2024.) A writer, artist, editor, & historian, she cocreated Vampirella & helped found Wimmen’s Comix, an anthology that showcased female creators. She also worked on Wonder Woman & wrote several books on women in the comics industry.

I've been looking at futuristic cityscapes from Akira and Syd Mead this week and seeing this neat trick where they draw somewhat realistic foreground buildings up to a point, Then draw incomprehensibly gigantic structures behind them to push it over the top

Funny how relevant this post is this week. We were just given a great example of exactly what I was talking about in the comics world.
