I think to our audiences & even a lot of industry peers at the hiring level, both “good design” & “skillful drawing” are tips of invisible skill icebergs, but specifically where they differ (which imo is SUPER important) is something that largely goes unremarked on (outside of very nerdy groupchats)

this sucks. nashville zoo is one of the most modern, humane, and accessible zoos in the country. if you care about conservation, critters, and science, go sign and go raise hell. nash zoo is also a bastion of science and equality as a southern workplace. please please protect it.

Sure wonder where all of the brigading "asset flip" bros who left bad reviews everywhere for the "injustice" of using a pre-made kitchen set that was actually made by human beings. Wonder what they're up to now. Sure have been quiet.

When politicians say they can't hold corporations accountable, remember: they can. They just choose not to.

Okay, so obviously this is very dumb, but for an explanation of why: The "rules being eased" is really "unwinding the phase-out of HFC refrigerants." HFCs are responsible for the extremely high global warming potential of refrigerants, and our previous saner government was working to fix this 1/x

The "if you don't let us scrape, we won't let ppl find your vid" is actually kinda bleak but ok YouTube

They deleted that account and started a new one as @microdose1.bsky.social. I blocked that one, too!

GREAT essay

Saankyuu~ Strawbebies It's popsicle (possible) I dunno, some other ones I think.

wow, it has been 1 whole year since the release of Formless Star! thank you for playing my little creatures game!

New statement from San Diego Comic Con on the Eisner-nominated anthology using AI:

Hey so if you're in the USA, the FCC is floating the idea of making shows put a warning up if they include or discuss trans people and trans lives. A short paragraph saying this is messed up would help a lot! You gpt less than a week. Submit your comment by May 22: www.fcc.gov/ecfs/filings...

Everyone involved in posting this should be fired and everyone in the chain of command whose office is subject to impeachment, including the president, should be impeached. Just for this. I am not kidding in the least, and Democrats who let this go by without comment are putting us all in danger.

Y'all will not get mine

Hey I wanna do a little heads up, I am going to Japan in a few weeks! Chicken Legs will update again in August.

Time for a POP-UP-FUNDRAISER! I drew everyone’s favorite Superior Foe of Spider-man, The Shocker. The original art is yours FREE if you make a $300 (or more) donation to the Trans Law center transgenderlawcenter.org/donate/ DM me to make sure it’s still available and we’ll make arrangements.

California-based artists and creatives, the California government is asking for public input on AI's impact on our work. Please fill out this survey, it'll just take a few minutes: join.engaged.ca.gov/en/projects/...

DC can i talk to you directly; children are not checking the bylines

Have y'all read Kazuo Umezu's God's Left Hand, Devil's Right Hand It rules, a glorious amount of just short of nonsensical gore like a goosebumps book that's allowed to swear. Thinks simply keep happening untill the conclusion and at no point can you predict a single one but it all follows seamless

Omg! My favorite David Lynch creation! I love him, he looks a lot more active here than usual

People with ME/CFS & LC desperately need a “medically frail” categorization. Please sign & repost this. We will lose our healthcare because physical & cognitive activity cause crashes/flares that last days, weeks, months. No way we can work.

Discord so desperate to stem the bleeding of Nitro cancellations they now have to convince other companies to offer free stuff (because Discord themselves can’t give enough of an offer alone). Don’t fall for it. Keep cancelling & stay unsubscribed. Xbox (Microsoft) also supports AI programs anyway.

My exhibition Taking Over: Subvertising in NYC, a decades long photographic record of interventions by artists & activists, opens at @deutscheshausnyu.bsky.social on June 17. More info & RSVP: as.nyu.edu/research-cen...

Truly sick of hearing that the answer to AI is to suck its dick because surely trickle down economics will work this time. Yeah we'll free up people to take creative jobs that have been devalued by the ai, that will surely lead to living wages! Capitalism will provide because ???

it sucks that theres still some creatives out there who only seem to take issue with gAI when its in their field, but will happily use it to replace other creative workers. Its remarkably easy to have a bit of solidarity and never use this shit. Up till 2023 it was the default state

Meanwhile, on Wikipedia: "If you have a history of AI use, we will expunge everything you have added since ChatGPT went live, because nuking you from orbit is the only way to be sure" (paraphrased) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikiped...

This is absolutely outrageous. SCOTUS reinstated Texas gerrymander 15 weeks before primary because they claimed it was too close to election to block it but now allowing Alabama to gerrymander one week before primary after trial court found map was intentionally discriminatory against Black voters

what's crazy is i was told that republicans couldn't steal an election and here they are clearly stealing one a full ~6 months before midterms

Okay I've got more than a few minutes to make a #webcomicday post now, didn't know if I would; day jobs been jobbing. Mariska is a young witch out on her own for the first time who stumbles into the midst of a conspiracy that will change the history of magic forever. chickenlegs.the-comic.org

once again, just spitballing, what if we just provided for everyone's basic material needs

#webcomicday I have one, you can read it Check out Chicken Legs! chickenlegs.the-comic.org

Person At Comics Publisher With No Art Background Put In Charge of Hiring Artists The new hire with a BA in Creative Writing & no eye for visual design or human anatomy will join editorial, hiring illustrators. "This move makes the most sense for the visual medium of comics" a spokesperson said.

We are ostensibly a free country and the degree to which we don’t know what is actually going on in a vast network of “camps” on our own soil in the year 2026 is….. something we are probably never going to come close to actually grappling with as a country

this is open to every american to comment on, and it only has 220 total comments! if we want to stop this we need a LOT more please share and encourage your cis friends to do the same, we need you!

we 👏 have 👏 been 👏 yelling 👏 about 👏 AI 👏 water 👏 usage 👏 since 👏 2023

personally I think it's a very big deal that the Canada bureau chief for the @nytimes.com — certainly one of the highest-paid journalists in the country — asked an unspecified "AI tool" what Poilievre said & published its AI-hallucinated quotes in her reporting.

If you are an author published by or submitting to any HarperCollns imprint, make sure you have a clause in your contract that opts you out of having your work used to feed "AI". Don't let them steal your work simply so you can be published by a "Big 5" publisher.

Again this should inspire wall-to-wall media coverage for months. The crowning achievement of the Civil Rights Movement is dead. Black people just lost all of their remaining political power in the South. This is a monumental moment in American history that simply isn't being treated as such.

A state that redraws its legislative maps before every election to maximize advantage for the incumbent party is not a democracy or a republic and in any case obviously violates the guarantee clause, among many others. No country does this. No country ever thought of doing this. It is a total farce.

it's been five months since the United States has admitted a refugee that is not a white South African
