Wildlife tracking tips. A wintry comic from last year.

Perhaps the surest sign of AI not being super intelligent is the amount of tailored scams targeting the finances of authors, which is as rewarding as trying to mug a seagull.

For people that feel helpless, this period is so tough but there's ways to help for anyone. Go out there support Venezuelan ppl and artists living in it as they prepare for unpredictable times Here is a starter pack of artists with commissions or donations open as well: go.bsky.app/8daQmpX

Last year Navigating with You won a few awards, but Dog Knight from me & got a very different distinction: Last year The Dog Knight got banned. I always suspected books of mine would get banned, but this one hit hard, because it's a book about a nonbinary kid finding their place in the world.

I put my cheeseboards out on the shelf at work and 3 old white women suddenly appeared like we were in a horror movie lmao

you’re so right, comic from 1925

“I’m sick of being the tallest man in town, all you people ever ask is ‘how’s the weather up there’”

As we enter the New Year remember fear of making bad art is holding you back. Fear of people not liking your work is holding you back. Rejection is holding you back You'll make bad art, you'll have people not like your work, and you'll be rejected. Moving past it is half the job of being a creative

Thinking about the time my parents took me to a faith healing church amd some rando came up trying to pray my eyesight better and little teenage bsky user astraldissection awkwardly stood there thinking "But I like my glasses..."

Explaining Mr. Rogers to kids who didn't grow up with him is a trip because he sounds like a political juggernaut. When public pools were segregated, he put his feet in a kiddy pool with Officer Clemmens, a Black man. He saved PBS by addressing senate. He made his show accessible for blind kids.

Tonight's checklist: 1. Get this screenshot, 2. Make dinner, 3. Pack for going to see my family for Christmas #ffxiv #lvl1

"I see you you are valid" - useless, performative. "Here is $3000, a mech suit, and a bottle of fireball." - affirming, beautiful, helps secure access to healthcare.

Do people actually go "hmmm I wasn't going to play this mobile slop game before, but now that I've got a THIRD x button from this in-app ad, I might as well try it"? Like it's gotta work on someone if they keep doing it, right???

“Then came the chaos. Within days, Claudius had given away nearly all its inventory for free—including a PlayStation 5 it had been talked into buying for ‘marketing purposes.’ It ordered a live fish. It offered to buy stun guns, pepper spray, cigarettes and underwear.” Don’t let AI run anything.

Bring this energy with you int 2026 (yes this is a threat)

The "no brown M&M's clause" existed long before ChatGPT came along to test if people really read something. Van Halen had a clause in their concert riders about having bowl of M&M's and much later saying no brown ones. Safety required the venue's crew really read the doc. Seeing brown M&Ms was 🚩.

I don't usually drive all the way to Chelmsford for "a few Beatles records", but when it includes this... I'm all for it.

Lots of "I love artists until they start asking to be able to live fairly and in dignity" out there

the tutorial you've all been waiting for

All of the companies that make the software I use are increasing their prices, to account for an "investment" in AI. I'm sat here imagining how my clients would feel if I added 30% to each invoice, because I "really got into gambling".

happy #WizardWednesday friends

Itch to draw struck, but I was at work

Remember to thank Rebecda Black today for inventing Fridays, we honor her today on Black Friday

Comments fuel artists and creators. They help fledgling projects grow because other people see them and spread the word or interact. We definitely cherish every single comment we’ve gotten on the comic on any of our platforms - especially the website. Keep them coming. 🥰

Some ways people try to get my attention at work instead of saying "ecxuse me": Key jingling, slapping the counter, ramming the service case with carts, noisily rolling carts, screaming at an empty service counter while I stock shelves, whistling, staring at me silently, looming in my blind spot.

"Fuck AI. It’s something that’s making everything worse in every single way — I don’t get it ... what the fuck are we doing?" — Rian Johnson (via THR)

So when are all the people saying "all your problems are because immigrants" going to 23andMe and then go back to where they came from?

Good, now do it everywhere.
