Seems like a good day to promote this charity that buys and forgives medical debt in the United States. unduemedicaldebt.org

Counterpoint: no it’s not, that’s a stupid thing to say

This is a very good comment in this screenshot Something I would add onto it is So much of the sex-negative feminists you see online that fell for a right-wing psyop a decade ago Do not realize how many of the stuff they complain about in anime... was made by women as self-expression

"Three insane loud women" is my favorite genre of dropout show

There's a little Einhander! See CD 194 archive.gamehistory.org/folder/bab8f...

now that the govt shutdown is over, y'all will need to really yell and scream about these bills because many of them are going to be pushed again. tell your representatives to OPPOSE these shitty policies! www.congress.gov/members/find...

now if you're a writer in the 21st century you're gonna want to use a word processor that doesn't auto scan and delete your work according to an LLM's interpretation of vague criteria in the TOS

i can feel it… i can feel the cosmos…

Dana Terrace at Disney

Ooooooh Knights of Guinevere OOOOOH KNIGHTS OF GUINEVERE

working on comics chapters at a time instead of a page at a time is really throwing me for a loop because I have to really reorient my milestones and goalposts.

I cannot overstate just how awful this stupid fucking bill proposal is - adding backdoors into encryption on OS level - "sniff" every single message before it gets encrypted AND SAVE IT CENTRALLY - let a goddamn hallucinating "AI" mark people as criminals it needs to be stopped, post haste

I feel like the appeal of Bill Burr is that he's one of those guys that's like "men will literally _______ instead of going to therapy" except he actually went to therapy

Marc Maron turning out to be a pretty cool guy was a highlight of the last decade. There hasn't been a ton to get excited about but that was nice.

Because some people haven't heard it yet: PAYPAL IS NOT A BANK, DO NOT LEAVE MORE THAN A COUPLE HUNDRED DOLLARS SITTING IN YOUR ACCOUNT AT ANY TIME. MOVE IT TO YOUR BANK ACCOUNT IMMEDIATELY. Paypal can and will close your account and steal all your money without warning. And have done MANY times.

It's amazing how far we are into an age where being good and empathetic is an accusation.

Sorry, but the takeaway I got from reading this is just that putting Hermen Hulst in a wood chipper is not only a moral necessity, but likely good business for the entire industry too.

there's an episode of The Simpsons where Marge tries to get a violent cartoon pulled from the airwaves, only to discover that the people backing her aren't going to stop at just the art that *she* doesn't like, and that supporting artistic freedom means accepting discomfort. It aired in 1990.

Pro-tip, by the way: When calling Visa about this and leaving a complaint to the company, they will tell you to go to their AskVisa email instead. Tell them you've done so multiple times and never got a response. They CAN log down the complaint; they're just told to try and filter you out.

here's a weird little guy

Nearly done the first chapter of the comic and I'm already like "what if I changed her hairstyle?"

Mrrf literally has a special spot just for sulking

I just finished watching Takopi's Original Sin and its so incredible but all I can think about is how it would never survive the censorship spiral we're headed into.

psst... I launched a Patreon for Kit Bash. I know its not out yet but you can still just become a free member to stay up to date on when it's out, you don't have to give me money! patreon.com/kitbashcomics

The sketches and scriptiing for the Kit Bash prologue are done!! Everything else ought to fall into place pretty fast! I hope to have it out before the end of the summer so keep your eyes peeled!

Damn.

I started watching The Summer Hikaru Died and man it's fucking GOOD

I'm sketching and writing at a pace I've never reached before and still it's not as fast as I would like I'm so fucking tired comics are so hard give every indie comics creator a million dollars right fucking now

Kit Bash will have a big boob character because big boobs are cool but also hilarious

I can't tell if it's because I'm too NYC focused but does it feel like the news cycle spent more time crashing out on the fact that NYC picked a brown Muslim dude as is primary candidate then it did on a right wing extremist who shot 2 Minnesota legislators killing one, her husband and dog?

Rebecca Sugar has been grannymaxxing so hard lately. Much respect

trying to actively avoid "bean face" or "calarts" style because of subconscious fear of being called out on it and realizing that I gravitate towards that style so fuck you

Yes the educational system is fucked, no you are not doing praxis by purposefully and knowingly sabotaging your critical thinking skills.

a destructive little fella! #KaiJune

He then launches into a prolonged discussion about gender affirming surgery, which is irrelevant here (minors don't get surgery) and seems to be talking about it just for ... shits and giggles? Like, what is the point, Clarence?

this, from Thomas, is another example of the transphobes citing *the effects we want* as negatives and excluding any and all context. "Irreversible changes to the vocal cords" is what I WANT out of T. The Cardio risk is in line with cis men. Same with the cancer risk. It's all bullshit.

I'm gonna be setting up a Kit Bash patreon before I had planned to for reasons but nobody should feel pressured to donate to it before the first chapter is actually out

Quickest way I've found to give more texture to your characters is to pick theme songs for them.

"Trump wants this Trump wants that" Trump is also a fucking idiot. Like yeah an idiot with power is scary but he also doesn't think anything through ever so maybe assuming the result will be exactly what he planned is a little hasty

This rules for a lot of reasons, but especially because it dispels the myths that A.) old games were never political and B.) games like this are just stories, they aren't "about" anything. Should serve as a reminder to anyone writing about games why we should be close reading 'em.

If MBMBAM is Car Talk for millennials, is Good Mythical Morning the millennial Regis & Kelly?

the answer to the mystery here is that the mainstream games industry does not select for or even permit the existence or development of real talent, so of course outsiders are gonna blow AAA shit out of the water

I saw a family

I think I'm on to something with Kit Bash because I'm doing AMVs in my head of scenes I have planned

also i think the fact that mark cuban is the Liberal Genius Thought Leader in there while he gets utterly clowned on by random college kids and bored 9-5ers on here really gauges the overall intellectual temperature in these spaces

If you're Canadian GO VOTE

Uhhh?
