Bitte teilen: Dieses Motiv der diesjährigen Weihnachtsbriefmarken (die immer ziemlich beliebt sind) sind KI-generiert. Wenn ihr mit eurer Weihnachtspost keine KI-erzeugten Bilder durch das Land schicken wollt, kauft lieber ein anderes Motiv.

For years, but especially for the past year, Democrats have been in thrall to the idea that they need to chase an imagined median voter, and adopt that voter’s positions. Mamdani’s victory shows another way: hold principles, and persuade people to share them.

Zum Sonntag noch mal ein Hinweis auf das noch 2 Tage laufende Crowdfunding bei @plotbunnygames.bsky.social zur deutschen Übersetzung von #Stewpot - ein cozy Fantasy-Game ohne Spielleitung, in dem ihr Figuren spielt, die sich nach dem Abenteuerleben niederlassen und eine Taverne gründen.

The first frost 🍁❄️ I just love how this turned out.

This comic devastated me and I think everyone should read it. I wish I knew how to read Korean bc I'm sure it hits even harder in the original language.

This one hit real hard.

Another one of my ShortBox faves is 'Dream Loop' by @inkpangur.bsky.social . It's expressive, fun and captures that feeling of stressful dreams so accurately (Surprise exams and trips anyone?). I really love how the story ended, too.

One Day More ! @shortboxcomicsfair.bsky.social

'Song of the Seabirds' by @narsid.bsky.social is an absolute feast for the eyes, hands down one of the most beautiful comics I've ever read. The colors are radiant, every second page had my jaw on the floor, there's cool spreads full of seabirds and fish and a story of love, loss and memories.

"Summer of the Wondrous Salamander" by @ivyteas.bsky.social is a weird, whimsical masterpiece with attention to detail and smart, quirky choices on every page (in layouts, lettering and typography in particular). I never knew what was about to happen next and loved every bit of it. It's SO GOOD

"Ingredients of Transition" by @muta-a.bsky.social has you accompany the most charmingly drawn cats on the hunt for food - how can one say no to that? I adore the artstyle, expressive characters and how we're offered a brief peek into what feels like a long, eventful journey. Get it while you can!

Only a few hours left of ShortBox! I really recommend "In the Heart of the Island" by @mariabrennmb.bsky.social She makes this island community with its inhabitants, their history and beliefs come to life and completely immerses you in it. This review by @paulacheshire.bsky.social is very on point!

Its here!! 🎉 🎉 The @shortboxcomicsfair.bsky.social is live!! (you can find "Despite, despite, despite" 👇)

ShortBox ends this friday and I HIGHLY recommend you get 'Despite, Despite, Despite' by @crypuppy.bsky.social ! It's sweet, heartfelt and the art and cute critters make it feel cozy and welcoming even when the characters have a (very relatable) rough time in this day and age.

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

who is your halloween familiar this year?

Ich kotze. „Fragen Sie mal Ihre Töchter“, entgegnet Merz einen Journalisten, der nachfragt, ob eine Entschuldigung angemessen wäre. Zur Erinnerung: Junge Frauen haben die CDU kaum gewählt. Die Merz-Regierung macht keinerlei Gleichstellungspolitik. Aber Frauen für Rassismus instrumentalisieren.

Gewalt gegen Frauen und Mädchen passiert vor allem in ihrem nahen sozialen Umfeld, das zeigen alle Studien, wieder und wieder. Hier geht's nicht um "Schutz von Frauen", sondern um ihre Instrumentalisierung, um rassistische Erzählungen zu stützen und zu legitimieren - und das vom Bundeskanzler.

Ich kann mich nur wiederholen: Wer sexualisierte und geschlechtsbezogene Gewalt in Zusammenhang mit Migration stellt, will nicht geschlechtsbezogene Gewalt verhindern, sondern Rassismus schüren.

No, we can’t just agree to disagree on our opinions and live peacefully together when one person’s opinion is that the other can’t live in peace. Everyone already knows this, yet people pretend otherwise when it inconveniences them

🚨 EILT!

Keine Stigmatisierung. Jetzt Druck machen! #teilen!

It’s funny how black people are expected to reach across the aisle to voters like these, while no one ever expects them to reach across the aisle to black people. Amazing who gets to be human, and who doesn’t.

Niemand hat die Absicht von Säuberungen zu sprechen

Wee donkey.

Wer verstehen will, warum Jens Spahn bei Miosga den Trumpismus verharmlost & die Linke derart verteufelt, dem lege ich unsere @gabrielakeller.bsky.social Recherche zu Jens Spahns engen Verbindungen zu MAGA-Milliardären & trumpschen Stiftungen ans Herz - erklärt vieles: correctiv.org/aktuelles/ge...

Bei Miosga stellt Jens Spahn die republikanische Gleichschaltung der US Medien als bloße Reaktion auf eine angebliche „Cancel Culture“ der Demokraten dar. Und unterstreicht dabei sehr schön, was die Mär vom linken Meinungsdiktat bei vielen ihrer glühendsten Erzähler immer schon vorbereiten sollte.

it should go without saying but if you want users to voluntarily tag their art then you need to not threaten to ban them if they do. like, you can either have a well-regulated, easily-filtered art ecosystem or you can ban art you don’t like and see it come oozing back out of every crack and crevice

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” It costs a lot less to house people.

Hey if you're like "wow everything sucks for trans people I sure wish I can help out a trans-owned business that highlights trans artists and is working to provide a queer third space" now is your chance!

Are US liberals and democrats going to mobilise over this like they have for Kimmel or nah.

he still has a job. how many people have been fired for saying much milder things about a right-wing figure?

Some square commission recently. Had fun drawing everyone’s dragons and patterns.

listen I know this is hard to hear. we'd like there to be a reason. but the presence of bigotry, hatred, dehumanization, violence, torture, and cruelty in no way necessitates mental illness being present. sane humans are very, very capable of horrible things, fam

If you actually have a reasonable budget to hire an artist for your project, TELL THEM IN YOUR INITIAL EMAIL TO THEM. Right off the bat. Here is the project, this is what I can pay, this is the deadline. We get so many time wasters it’s remarkably refreshing when a potential client is upfront

A bunch of folks have asked about my "Long Arc of Fascism" course - this is my opening lecture at our public teach-in last Spring.
