No donations in days. I now have to get an MRI to check on spinal cord damage progression so we know how to treat a new symptom. it may be my last chance to get one with what's about to happen. I mean, I know THIS is true, but disabled LGBTQ folks need mutual aid: www.them.us/story/lgbtq-...

I'm prioritizing time with my family right now, but I would like to see as many of my local friends as possible while I'm home in NYC for the next two weeks. If you have my number (it's still the same one) you can text me. Thanks y'all.

💖 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!

Just checking you all know about Spirit Swap, the game that came out this year that I directed alongside many incredibly skilled friends and workers! We’re a majority (uh I’m pretty sure 100% tbh) marginalized people co-op and self-published! Please check out our trailer I love it so much!

Safely arrived at home. Thank you so much to everyone who helped me get here.

So many artists, writers, and designers I know have learned this lesson the tedious way, so let me co-sign this and say not only is it a huge waste of time and labor to listen to the "I'd buy that" crowd online, you will also lose money. Make what *you* want to make, everything else is noise

Stop sharing AI slop. It's one thing if you don't know or just made a mistake. No need to breathe down someones neck b/c its harder to tell nowadays. But if you do know (ESPECIALLY IF YOU DO KNOW) even if you're posting it to make fun of it or sharing it unironically... consider not doing that.

I'm already seeing people saying that if OpenAI goes down it'll be the fault of authors and publishers, as opposed to actually blaming Sam Altman and OpenAI for BREAKING THE DANG LAW!

It’s been a pleasure working with Lex and everyone in the politics vertical at Teen Vogue. I’m heartbroken that my column, Disability Visibility, is gone. Teen Vogue was one of the few places that published disabled journalists regularly. I just spent the last 2 months working on my next column

I had to fly home on short notice for a family funeral. The ONLY flight from Bangkok to NYC for under $500 necessitated a 14 hour layover in Manila. I'm telling you right now, it was not worth it. Learn from my mistake!!!

Oh!! It's my birthday!! I would be so appreciative if you could share my work. I still have openings this year if anyone would like to reach out!

If you've stopped masking in public for whatever reason, now is a really good time to start again

Like many folks I work way too hard to be this broke, to struggle this much, but it is what it is and once. The first is nigh and not only need help with rent but to also make up the $150 I usually get with SNAP. I just added two new paintings to my shop at ko-fi.com/johnniejae/s...

Prayers for the people and land of Jamaica. Ancestors protect her. 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲

Community contributions arent just about getting people’s rent or groceries paid, sometimes it’s helping those during a loss. Please if you have it, this would be a truly amazing way to help 🫶🏽

Folks let's help put a fellow creative in need! If you can't donate, share around.

I am saw a post that touched my heart. If you can, donate. If you can’t, please share. ko-fi.com/thatjayjustice is @jayjustice.net’s attempt to get enough cash together so that they can go home for a funeral. I know about missing funerals.

It's been a very difficult time for me. I'm struggling to do anything but cry. Thank you to everyone who has reached out and sent condolences or support. I haven't been able to reply individually due to grief and depression but I appreciate any and all assistance very much. ko-fi.com/thatjayjusti...

I've just received news of a death in my family. Due to living 8000 miles away from them, it's going to be very hard to make it to the funeral, but I'm going to try. I am still doing the charity fundraisers I committed to, but any help I can get to be with my family is appreciated. Thanks everyone.

Today is a fresh opportunity to send some kindness out into the world - something free and easy to create that can have a bigger positive effect than you’ll ever know. Tell someone you love them. Compliment their work. It’s getting cold out here - be your own warmth.

An official announcement My new game... is my old game. And in the evenings of my dreamjob of making games, I've been spending my free time making a game.... again. I wrote a little bit about why this had to be right here: store.steampowered.com/news/app/113... www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-XI...

I can definitely believe there are people out there dumb enough to not know what their own tattoos are but I also wouldn’t vote for them

My favourite from 2028, I could redraw it with my current skill but I drew this on one layer in 2 hours fueled by emotion after finishing Dragon Age 2 so I probably will never redraw it. I can replicate the art but not the emotion behind it so it's pointless 💔 I love Anders 💔 #dragonage

right wing bigots have admitted - the “trans women in bathrooms” issue - the “trans women in sports” issue and - the “trans kids getting surgery” issue were all MADE UP TO TAKE OUR RIGHTS AWAY are you paying attention?

there’s no problem with trans women in sports

there’s no problem with trans women in bathrooms

If the majority of 'sapphic' romance doesn't actually focus on F/F then it's pretty much a lesbophobic marketing label doing the actual original definition of queerbaiting.

It's been long enough since the release so it's time to introduce you young folks (or people who are not familar with old J-pop songs) to 『寂しい熱帯魚』 by Wink, one of the hit songs from 1989 (ie. my year of birth). 🐟 youtu.be/iBDnRK9ACTY?...

I hope you enjoy the paper! There are fun easter eggs hidden throughout, particularly the definition of AI that somehow made it past peer and editorial review and into the glossary. 13/

I need to mention something that happened yesterday. I had a negative review of my game & an irate player in my Discord, talking about bugs they claimed were longstanding, mentioned all over Steam and Reddit, and never fixed. After some probing they admitted they had been asking ChatGPT for hints.

If you’re in a creative field and you don’t lift up the work of your peers, you can’t expect people to care about your stuff

If you work in a craft field, you have a responsibility for its future and that includes training and helping upcoming generations.

The only excuse Lois Lane has for why her interviewing Superman isn't unethical, despite their romantic entanglement, is that it would be even more unethical for the paper's other top reporter, who is Superman, to interview himself, yet she cannot say this. This dilemma should be taught in J-school.
