Update: SUCCESS! Lina and Naga got married and Xellos sang at their wedding! Also Naga was the one to propose and insisted on dressing like a ninja to do it. So I think I nailed the characters.

We're constantly told that women can never compete with men and yet Kelsey Pfendler is about to set the record for the fastest solo row from California to Hawaii, beating the men's record by a full week. What an incredible feat of athleticism, endurance, and grit.

No. They don't even know I do art professionally. I intend on keeping that way because for a number of reasons, chief among them the number of family friend connections that would be destroyed upon knowing I'm a dyke.

This fried me, but yes...and yes, I do sit in that lady's chair to talk about it.

This is balkanization by another name.

What they're setting up with this is a precedent that federal statutes can place a ceiling on civil rights for protected groups at the state level. California and NY have protections in their constitutions enacted by popular vote to protect trans people. www.washingtonpost.com/education/20...

“When Ian and I first sat down to come up with Hokis, Focus! our goal was to tell a fun adventure story, a journey with a lovable cast of goofballs!” @mrjamps.bsky.social on the upcoming book with @ianflynnbkc.bsky.social and @tayloresposito.bsky.social: https://bit.ly/4wgQWcs

At long last, WHITE BOAT is coming to a close... 🌊 Issue #3 of the @dstlry.bsky.social series from me and @ffrancavilla.bsky.social is hitting comic book stores WEDNESDAY.

They also use the word “taste” like the worst guys online use the word “females”

If anyone has any short-term comics or illustration gigs they think I’d be good for, I‘m available for a little bit. quasimaddi.com

NEWS 🚨: Just announced at the Yoshitaka Amano panel, DEVA ZAN returns to print with a brand new 2nd Edition! Pre-order: https://bit.ly/3SCOzm1 This features a new cover from Amano, coming in March 2027.

As the years go on, I am baffled by how Tales of The Abyss hasn't been ported over yet. Like we have two of the Big 3 (Symphonia and Vesperia), but not Abyss?

45 years ago today. Buried on page 20 on a holiday Friday just like this one, news that changed the world. www.nytimes.com/1981/07/03/u...

I don't think any American--regardless of party, despite fondness for aviation (which I share)--would enjoy being under the nonstop low-altitude, high-speed, incredible-volume of the Caligula overflights of our nation's capital right now. It feels and sounds like being under aerial attack.

COMMUNIST HEAT RAYS ARE DESTROYING OUR BAPTISM TUBS BECAUSE OF WOKE

America keeps trying to get me to go to her birthday party and I’m like no girl u need to go to the hospital

PlayStation might have ended gaming as we know it: PlayStation’s digital-only future raises questions about game preservation, consumer choice, and how much control players really have over what they buy

The entire city is on edge right now. It’s 96 degrees, we’re interrupted every 5 min by the sound of low-flying fighter jets, and the president has managed to ruin July 4th. Quietly muttering to myself: “just wait until IT happens. Everyone will be so happy when IT happens. It’ll be incredible…”

Not gonna lie, the fact that AI data centers are being cooled while Americans die in the street from heat stoke is really pissing me off.

I've been pretty clear about talking about TADC as a show and some of the issues I have with it, but anytime a trans woman does anything wrong (and to be clear some of Goose's old tweets give me pause) people use it to be transphobic and recruit people in TERFism.

YO if you make comics in any capacity and aren't a publishing professional, you absolutely should apply to join @cartoonist.coop!! It's such a lovely community doing great work advocating for better working conditions in the publishing industry and beyond for cartoonists. cartoonist.coop/join/

It's 100% some bullshit that the Disney/Marvel big-budget hero shooter is allowed to go "lol check out this bulge, you guys like huge asses?" while every other website and platform in the world is trying to figure out a way to execute you over the computer if you post a sexy picture online

Why are there so many fighter jets taking off in DC right now? It's stressing me out.

hi! i am an Eisner, GLAAD, and Lambda nominated comics writer and i want to help YOU write the best comics you can! i am offering script reviews for $150-$300 (sliding scale honor system)! that gets you: - sxript review - hour-long video chats going over it and answering q's please boost!

Everything about this regime is simultaneously embarrassing, evil, and viciously incompetent.

To be real, a Disney-owned property like Marvel Rivals very loudly and intentionally leaning into the “porn-bait” side of hero shooter character design in the current climate of nsfw censorship and independent nsfw creators being deplatformed left and right bugs the *fuck* out of me

Caught up on Love Bullet and it sucker-punched me in the face yet again with its story. A yuri gem indeed.

lithub.com/just-a-few-h... 11 people were responsible for 60% of the book bans in 2021.

The same way that just a dozen people are behind over half of all the book bans, this entire goddamn nazi movement is a fucking handful of freaks who are loud enough in billionaire nazi sex pest social media empires to be confused with an entire crowd. This *is* their irl numbers and popularity.

‘Along with codefendant Savanna Batten, the trio ran the Emma Goldman Book Club, where members shared anarchist and socialist literature in the form of zines or homemade booklets. The Sotos were also accused of operating an account on X for “DFW Antifa.”’ A book club.

Heat Wave. 🫠

This July 4th, families are drowning in higher prices at grocery checkout. But Trump “loves the inflation” — and has no plan to lower your costs.

Pope Leo to SSPX

Hopefully this time we can clown the man who was the architect of all this hell without professional repercussions?

I swear, "a pope from Chicago excommunicates a Nazi-adjacent sect" is like a cut scene from The Blues Brothers

Chapter 5 was so good that i'm now on my 3rd run of Deltarune

The family and friends of Mexican animator Luis de la Rosa, who tragically passed away during the Annecy Festival, are asking for support to help cover travel expenses and repatriate his body. A GoFundMe fundraiser has been launched for anyone who would like to help: gofund.me/ae1944d68

Thank you all for watching InfoWars. Jesus Christ what a night. Lot to digest. Also, yes, that was Tim Robinson calling in. And we have no idea why so many people watched on TikTok. Please tune in next week, because it's going to get even more vile. For now, follow @realinfowars.bsky.social.

the pope: my children, i’m very disappointed. you’re grounded until you apologize and ask for forgiveness. claire: if he spoke to me like this i’d walk into the sea.

important reminder that of course banning normies from going to Mass at your church means no more normie cash and checks coming your way when the offertory basket gets passed around we will find out fast how many of these chapels are self-sustaining with just the diehards

oh this is messy (I'm an ex-evangelical Christian and I had to look at least half these words up)

i’m so sorry but as a jew i fear this is the catholic version of the classic @averyedison.com post

We're so starving for consequences we're reading Vatican press releases

Here is my response to D&Q's statement about my open letter:

As someone who is both a researcher and a cartoonist, this breaks my heart. It's effectively an unlicensed adaptation. I remember when Walden was viewed as a prodigy (partially bc her pops could afford to send her CCS as a teenager). It sucks to see this happen.
