I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness. You could be next.

WALLFLOWER, my 3rd graphic novel, is officially available at bookstores and online everywhere!! please enjoy this story full of dreams, flowers, and hope.

It's Jobs Time. If you've wanted to try your hand at editing comic books (or crowdfunding them) at the best publisher ever, I suggest you apply. DO NOT SELF REJECT etc etc etc (reposting with actual correct link) www.linkedin.com/posts/vault-...

Heeeyy, we can finally talk about this! So, I would like to co-sign everything in this open letter. I would also like to tell everyone about a specific grievance that @femonologue.bsky.social and I have with Xellette after the mishandling of our kickstarter. Screencap/receipts in🧵 to follow!

A lot of us have actually made a webcomic ring called Chimera Comics after we left hiveworks: chimeracomics.org This isn't the full list as some artists want their hands completely washed of the situation, but this is a start!

The Hiveworks Artist Guild has released a public statement alleging years of labor abuses, financial mismanagement, and misconduct at Hiveworks at the hands of Xellette “Xel” Velamist and Isabelle “Isa” Melançon. Read their full statement at: cartoonist.coop/hiveworks-gu...

It's time for a new pinned post with some of my recent work. Hi! I'm Anya! I draw fantasy illustrations like these. I am open for work and also accept private commissions. 📩: [email protected] prints: www.inprnt.com/gallery/anya... portfolio: anyachalina.myportfolio.com

Weird to be commemorating the 250th anniversary of the Am Rev while living under a government that has a) sent armed troops to occupy cities perceived to be too rebellious, b) rendered largely irrelevant the representative branch of government, and c) claimed imperial right to rule other countries.

This is simply not technically possible. You cannot generate enough writing in-house to train an LLM. You cannot generate enough art in-house to train a GAN. People who think they have a model "trained on our own material" are using a base model of mass-scraped data, unknowingly or disingenuously.

“They only use genAI for internal use” “It’s just for generating some ideas, it’s not even really more efficient”

By the way, so are the US-based ICE "detention facilities." People are held for no crime and with no charges, with no due process. They are held indefinitely. This is happening in Tacoma and elsewhere.

I like these otherknown pages I'm working on where Demeck looks like Chandra's mobster bodyguard

if i neglect to change my display name long enough, then, eventually, it will be m/m kickstarter time again. halloween decorations year-round mentality

yeah i see your generative slopmachine can occasionally string words together in a way that might be construed as "technically English" but can it expend two books' worth of effort on half of one book making things come together in a narratively but also emotionally satisfying way. while CRYING

In case you need a reminder: there is no amount of capitulating to technocratic chicanery that will fix publishing. It has already made things worse and will continue to make things worse for everyone involved. Orgs like PW should have learned this lesson eons ago but today's as good as day as any.

In this crowded place..there’s only you 🥀🐦‍⬛ { #Gawabcomic #oc #ocsky #illustration }

This really is a must read for anyone in academia.

also, ICYMI, the book is OUT-out at the PEOW2 shop. the lil preorder sign is gone. peow.studio/shop/na

also it's hard to fit her into a sneak preview but it's so important to know that one of the main characters is Leka, a charismatic butch. please look forward to her

Two years ago, Tam's best friend Iphi was the sole casualty of a freak tsunami. Now, Iphi’s back—impossibly alive with a newfound affinity for water—and threatening to upend the peace that Tam has built after the years of grieving … by… being a really fun person to hang out with?

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back

WE WON! After 42 days of striking we have a tentative agreement in hand that protects our existing 4 day work week, establishes a minimum salary, and adds protections against AI replacing jobs at our workplace!

I think the main obstacle putting me off of opening bluesky (the way I used to open extinct classic twitter) is the constant feeling of showing up with bleary eyes and bedhead to some sort of Work Thing

Don't forget that Zohran Mamdani spent his entire campaign standing proudly beside the trans community. He went to trans rights rallies just to show support. He proudly waved trans rights flags without hesitation. He refused to back down in support of trans rights. That makes me happy.

my webcomic The Nameless Prisoner is coming soon...! fantasy adventure (gay) romance.. It's about a cursed knight who's deserted his order, and now he's been blackmailed into delivering the head of a recently executed prisoner to the queen... but when he shows up the guy is unfortunately very alive

pie chart titled silksong the whole thing just says "amazing, no notes" except there's one tiny sliver creeping in labelled "how about that groal runback eh?"

Lord alive, they want fictional characters in fictional sexual situations to model consent for literal adults like a patronizing early 2020’s sitcom where the point of the writing is to convey that the writer’s been to therapy at some point

the boys are hanging out!! 😍🐎⚔️🦎 If you're in Austin you can pick up both series at local queer indie favorite Birdhouse Books~ Also check out Triple Strike for an super fun M/M novel with lovely illustrations and a romance that develops during the main adventure (which is my favorite!)

Ursa and Genevieve, the main character + love interest of my new comic coming to ShortBox Comics Fair in 2 WEEKS...!

I'm always sad to miss another year of SPX but I had a great time at local SFF convention Armadillo Con here in Austin! (the 4-H horse book was a freebie from a series of excellent horse primer panels with @saraamueller.bsky.social !)

i’m not going to be lectured about political violence by people whose politics is violence

watching black mirror for the first time and it's a pretty horrifying experience. not bc of the episodes themselves but bc I am exposed to commenters online with no media literacy coming up with takeaways like "abuse/torture is justified if the other party is guilty of something"
