Good :) because if it can't exist without proper pay and permissions it shouldn't exist

Kickstarter United is on strike! We are not asking for a boycott! Creators & Allies: Please continue to support & use the platform swipe for ways to show your solidarity

Why We're Striking
A codified 4-day work week.
We simply want to protect the way we've been working for over 3.5 years. The 4dww has proven benefits, such as increased productivity and improved employee satisfaction. It's part of what makes Kickstarter a special, innovative place to work.
Fair pay for our lowest-paid workers.
We're fighting for livable minimum salaries for roles that are undervalued by the market but crucial to keeping Kickstarter running. We believe none of our workers should struggle to make ends meet.

Screenshot of text I’ve written that reads: I really want to rant about the way the world is going and how the creative industries are being destroyed and how those two things are so closely tied together and I want to complain about how hard it is to just exist and create right now and how it feels like you always need to be 'on' and the pressure to always be making content and be visible that's pushed on us by this capitalist fast tech-driven world we're in right now and how it's stifling creativity in the worst way and how it feels like you need to choose between being visible and actually making good art and experimenting and being a human being but I am exhausted and all my energy has been drained

Miss Major, one of the mothers of the trans liberation movement, has been in the hospital for 10 days with sepsis and a blood clot. She has looked out for us for generations, now it’s time to look out for her. Donate if you can: fundly.com/missmajor

Who drew the comics on the back of Topps baseball cards? Princeton University’s Dr. Eric White has used a canny eye to solve a decades-long mystery

Dr. Eric White is a top scholar on the Gutenberg Bible, but in his free time, he's been studying one of baseball’s biggest mysteries – Who are the unnamed artists behind the classic Topps baseball cartoons?

This is why it's always a good idea to tell an artist you like how much you enjoy their work.

You never know just how much they need to hear it.

4 panel comic sequence showing the same view down a Roman street, progressing backwards in time from the present day, medieval, late, and less-late Roman periods.

4 panel comic sequence showing the same view down a Roman street, progressing backwards in time from the present day, medieval, late, and less-late Roman periods.

The same image as previous but with coloured lines connecting the paths of different characters through the scene across time, including a pedestrian, businessman/merchant/patricians, police/soldiers, labourers/plebians (and a cat). In the last panel a man drops a basket of olives, which progressively grows into a large ancient olive tree across the panels.

I've always loved comic sequences showing timelapses of a single location/view, so I was glad @rikworth.bsky.social wrote one into the Rome book. Was fun-strating trying to figure out some interaction across timelines too, with equivalent characters crossing paths etc. for the observant reader.

Yesterday saw someone who is trans with an enormous following with horrible takes about being trans. So I wanted to remind you that:
-You are no less trans if you decide to not take hrt or can't.
-You are no less trans if you don't feel dysphoria of a specific part of your or with your entire body.

This film was fantastic, thank you Animation Obsessive! Besides the incredible story, art, and production history, also swirling in my mind is the Subcontinental representation, & allusions to looting (rarely discussed in war films)

It reminded me of Makoto Shinkai’s Beyond the Clouds (2004)

This is an older commission of Sam the Eagle as a cleric I still like the design of despite the patriotic theming
