"The fantasy—and it is a fantasy—isn't one of space travel and exploration and some bright Star Trek future for humanity, but one of winnowing and eugenics, of cold actuarial lifeboat logic, of ever greater reallocation from the dwindling many to the thriving few." This read is always a 🎯

I love…sci-fi…

I know antifa isn't a real organization because I don't get 40 texts a week from them asking for donations.

A comic about CNC kink I've been thinking about for a few years, and I finally decided to sit down and make it.

Want to boost! I’d love to see this hit more stretch goals and be able to add some more weird art! Kaylees work as lead illustrator is also outstanding and gorgeous and must be stared at for hours or years

Stipan's art is so damn good.

Protests, mass meetups, conferences—a youth-led movement is reclaiming the Luddite mantle, rejecting a future dominated by Silicon Valley companies, toxic apps, and generative AI. This fall, a "Luddite renaissance" is in full swing. www.bloodinthemachine.com/p/the-luddit...

💖 Hi~ I've recently been hired as Illustration & Creative Lead at The Story Division, helping publishers with graphic novel projects. I'm currently updating our artist database & looking for a wider range of art styles. Cartoonists: post sequentials, website, availability below. No DMs/emails plz!

The US is imposing 1000% tariffs on ma, the concept of emptiness or negative space in Japanese cinema. From now on if a character quietly admires a river or sips a cup of tea, theaters will be taxed millions

I’m so sad about this… I never even got to actually visit but I’ve always really admired and loved what Bluestockings was doing. Truly the kind of community centered store model we should all want more of in the world

Bluestockings forever. 💙 bluestockings.com

I’ve been having a lot of big feelings lately about people not taking comics seriously as a medium and this is extremely emblematic of that. Comics have their own language, usage and artistry that needs to be learned and honed the same as any medium. And it’s NOT an artist’s role to fill in that gap

🚨UPDATE: In response to the boycott that erupted over the weekend, Disney decided to update the cancellation process on their website, making it MORE DIFFICULT FOR THEIR SUBSCRIBERS TO STOP GIVING THEM MONEY. This underhanded strategy hasn’t retained customers as they hoped.

Leaving the platform for a week to «make a point» is gonna do nothing but punish the people staying behind btw. Instead just keep posting. If anything post more. Post porn. A lot of it. Fuck prudes and fuck bsky for ignoring any and all feedback and bending to Puritanical alt right Christians.

What if some of these boycotts….last forever

This is the vibe I wish to bring to the function.

Tezuka & Ishinomori both died at 60. Mizuki (the creator of GeGeGe no Kitarō) died at 93. I think about this a lot.

Bluesky is a wonderful place that has flourished in large part because of its artists and intolerance towards facists/Nazis. The Updated policy currently going into effect Oct 15 could fuck that up and we should be very vocal about it. Here are some specific things to mention in feedback (THREAD)

I wish I was a better illustrator. I feel like my brain only operates within the confines of a comic page - once I am just looking at a blank canvas my mind is BLANK. I don’t know why, it’s like I need context?

It’s cruel to women. Wildly offensive to people with autism. And generally offensive to anyone with a brain or a heart. He needs to resign or be removed immediately.

This has definitely been useful on my website building journey. Still a LOT I don’t have up, but I'm slowly but surely making my house a home over on neocities.

Hawaiians are coming together to buy land back from a billionaire investment firm in an unprecedented move. One-third of the island of Molokai is owned by Hong Kong-headquartered billionaire investment firm Guoco Group. Now, people have launched a plan to buy back their island.

wee im vindicated

This was somehow a flash in the pan headline in all the chaos last week, but throwing out there that at this rate this would be in the vicinity of 50k people vanishing from the face of the earth over the remainder of the term. And this is before they use that newly allocated $75B to fully scale up.

just saw a cottage cheese commercial that shows two teens eating cottage cheese while gaming. it’s possible that i’m out of touch with today’s youth but i don’t know about that one

It is so damn obvious the trans sports issue is a drummed up nonsense moral panic masquerading as “common sense” - but if you look deeper for two seconds you see how the whole point of sex segregated sports is to defund women athletics & to build and propagandize the western idea of women as weak.

Some sketchy thought…

TLDR sports aren't single sex except to protect the egos of men. It has very little to do with fairness or safety and certainly nothing to do with science. Every person who treats this like an actual issue that needs debating is transphobic and misogynistic. They should be ashamed of themselves.

Blanket apology to my like 3 British friends who I periodically message things like “hey do British people know what a pineapple is?”

this is why it always feels really REALLY disingenuous when people complain that artists aren't tagging their NSFW art. I don't know maybe tittydrawr69 isn't tagging their drawing because y'all keep threatening them with losing their entire livelihood if they do.

I have a tremendous idea: SaaP Software as a Product Instead of paying every month, you just buy it once and then you just kind of keep it Who's with me

Quintessential British comics storytelling

Seeing the Bill Watterson originals full of pencil lines of stuff that didn’t work, scuffs the eraser didn’t pick up, white out galore and more was something I needed to see to remind myself that nothing is perfect the first go and tweaks need to be made and you’re allowed to try again.

I’ve been thinking a lot about ~marketing~ lately and the unique challenge of marketing graphic novels. They’re almost like the whole season dump version of comics (or really maybe the movie version), in both a good way and a bad way! I LOVE the non serialized format of being able to-

since there are only 4 days to go i am going to share my character sheets for hello sunshine again. first, noah

Fuck me this is bleak. But please, do continue to use GenAI slop thumbnails for your YouTube videos, or your album art, or your book covers or whatever else. I'll continue to refuse to watch/listen/read any of them, knowing already they're not worth the time & that you're a disappointing lazy hack.

It's so silly that a random artist with essentially no reach could have their life ruined over a dubcon illustration, while any streaming services can produce shows watched by millions of people that feature violent sexual assault.

“It lacks the humility to acknowledge uncertainty.” Up to 48% of the time, models are hallucinating. WHY is there an insistence on integrating in schools?! #OpenAI #ChatGPT #DigitalDivide

The reason I continue to point out how evil Democrats/liberals are is because they occupy the entire space for opposition...which is why there is no opposition to fascism right now. If we don't dismantle that cult there will be no change, it will only get worse.
