BTW if you ever wanna commission an artist you don't have to have OC's or fandom characters- you can literally just be like "dang I'd like to have some more lesbian art exist" or "wow it would be real nice to see some trans rep in my culture" or "wouldn't a yellow centric painting look nice here"

Hollander... baby eat snack of cleaner

I have had the Yuri on ice theme in my head for weeks like a distant phantom. A yaoi portent. It is time. Release the ice gays.

I am starting a studio! We are small and scrappy and have no money. Why am I doing this? Because the only ones who can protect art are the ones who value it. Disney using AI? Yuck. Netflix buying WB? Also yuck. In 10 years what is even going to be left.

Cover of Always Raining Here, showing our two main characters leaning on each other at a bus stop in the rain.

Always Raining Here is in bookstores in now! This is a graphic novel adaptation of our BL romance webcomic featuring redrawn interiors and new bonus comics! us.macmillan.com/books/978125...

Poster to fight against ai. Visualized is a cave painting inspired horse, with text that reads "art has always been accessible"

I hear a lot of people saying that ai makes art accessible.. well I personally think that's bullshit- so I made this to drive my point home.

Happy birthday to one of my favourite haters, Charles Darwin

Yet again I apologize to be back so soon. I have an appointment w/ a pulmonalogist next week & need help covering the copay & transportation. I also need help w/ some meds I need to grab from the pharmacy and some supplements. I apologize. I hate asking so frequently. It sucks.

Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here.

Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.

Unfortunately my work computer is likely either dead or gonna cost a shit ton to fix. And for a whole slew of reasons im broke as shit. So if anyone is feeling like being generous i would greatly appreciate it. 💜💜

A small stack of die cut stickers on concrete. The stickers depict a grungey, disembodied animalistic set of teeth, crunching down on a fracturing and chipped cube of ice.

Want another anti-ICE sticker? Of course you do!

everybody gotta get freaky sometimes

I’ll believe it when I see it. Everything they’ve said about this illegal occupation has been built on a lies.

We need accountability for our neighbors and for this whole corrupt department to be dismantled.

Stay out there, keep your connection to one another, and only believe your eyes.

An adorable, fluffy raccoon is sound asleep curled up in the crotch of a large, old tree on a cloudy winter morning.

It pays to look up. I found this adorable guy sound asleep several meters up in an old tree. Never once cracked an eyelid. #mammals 🌿

Ive been reading a lot of queer sports romance and yesterday I was thinking to myself "I wish there were books like this without sports :("
Yes ok yes time to find more books

YA Fantasy book cover of two character portraits, vertically stacked in the composition. The top portrait is of a young woman with octopus tentacles sprouting from her back, holding an ornate sword above her head. The bottom portrait is of a young man in a white suit leisurely holding a sword by his side, wearing an ornate crown with wrought iron bars sprouting from said crown, bending downwards and forming a cage.

Writers Who Use AI Are Not Real Writers Dorothy Parker famously (but probably not really) said, “I hate to write, but I love having written,” which is a sentiment I don’t largely understand or agree with in the broader …

Read that article about the """writer""" generating 200 books a year with AI and needless to say, I had THOUGHTS

Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl performance required 9,852 theatrical pyrotechnics, nearly 400 costumed extras, and a lot of ingenuity.

And yes, that was a real couple featured in the wedding.

The Sermon on the Mount, by Beryl Lewis, before 1965, 📸 by @ScottStrazzante

Link from Tears of the Kingdom walking through the depths, surrounded by poe spirits-- a spooky voice from off-panel says "you have done well to bring poes here..." and more disembodied voices repeat the word "poes" all around him.

The Bargainer statue looms over Link in the darkness, and says: "in exchange... ...my dark brethren and I have combined our powers..."

The Bargainer Statue's spooky hands concentrating a ball of swirling black power between them, and it says: "...to create..."

Chibi-fied Bargainer Statue holding a pair of trousers they made especially for Link, saying "the dark trousers"

Zelda TOTK is my Game of the Year 2023, because it has this Spooky Statue Guy in it.

Revealed: How Substack makes money from hosting Nazi newsletters Exclusive: Site takes a cut of subscriptions to content that promotes far-right ideology, white supremacy and antisemitism

It is super weird whenever someone sets up a new Substack and I can't say I have regrets about ditching the platform at all

I’m not arguing with no account defending AI. My grandmother lives in an area being environmentally compromised currently by an ai data center. I remember the color of the lake before they built it and the sludge I see in it when I go to see her. Shut the fuck up about “the benefits of AI” forever.

Im so sorry my friend 💚
