Tweet: @vexwerewolf Right-wingers literally straight-up admitting "it's harder to discredit the left because the left is almost always telling the truth" Scott Jennings @Lum 21h um, yes, that's really a problem Show this thread 9 paints • 12 hrs The problem with left-leaning media is they're intrinsically more strict with their propaganda to only using verifiable sources so it's really hard to poke holes in their ideology and arguments in comparison to a lot of low quality rightwing content. That makes attacking their points with fact checkers not very effective unless the fact checkers use misinformation tactics as well. In essence people on the right have to work harder and more creatively to push their agendas as statistics and studies frustratingly arent usually on our side.

Amazing

That’s such a fluffy, sleepy pumpkin 🧡

I'm a bit torn here bc the Labubu guy actually IS an indie toy designer, I saw his stuff at like WonderFes a decade ago. So he's not like say, Funko shit- So Labubus is one of the better fads because one of us made it big

But also he's probably plenty rich by now (I hope so he deserves to be)

Like I know there are edgelord leftists out there who look down their noses at shit like No Kings but sorry you guys, the more mass protest looks fun and family-friendly, the bigger it gets and the better its chances of being broadly effective

Mamdani promises to deploy *hundreds* if lawyers to fight for trans rights, create a new office of LGBTQ affairs, and allocate millions of dollars to fund housing and healthcare for trans kids and adults

This is what fighting back looks like--elevating activists to materually support trans people.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

Fascism fatigue. I'm coining it right now. I also have it.

Today is World Mental Health Day 🪴

It’s okay to not be okay. You’re doing the best you can in a hostile and difficult world, and I’m proud of you for that.

Take time to do something kind for yourself today 🩵

“We can give $20 billion to Argentina but we can’t afford the CDC’s measles experts” is a hell of an argument

If you can't come out right now, please don't hate yourself.
One day, the meaning of labels will disappear.

Please love yourself as you are.
The one who can cherish yourself the most is yourself.
Because that is your strength and beauty.
Chiitan loves you

Yup. The amount of times people with kids have just casually told me “if I knew how much work it was going to be, I wouldn’t have had my kids at all” without questioning why they felt like they had to have any in the first place and project it onto their kids instead, horrifies me.

This drives me nuts, like no, your child isn’t capable of being vindictive toward you and specifically trying to make your life harder by misbehaving or having needs—they literally don’t know any better and need to be taught and reminded.

It’s Saturday here, so I am once again tapping the sign to remind you that my DMs are open to all new comics creators looking for feedback or advice on writing, art or the industry at large!

Little moments of joy this week:

🐈‍⬛ Spending extra time in the mornings to snuggle my kittycat
🍎 Going to a local farm to buy fresh fruit and cider and pet the sheep
👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩 Taking a cozy autumn walk with my gf
💇 Getting a masc haircut that gave me a small hit of gender euphoria

Guillermo del Toro and Netflix have announced plans to form a new stop motion studio that will be both a studio and a school to push the medium forward and will develop plans to make Del Toro's next stop motion project after Pinocchio. I'm very hyped to see what this leads to!

Some writers that made me:

Bruce Coville
JRR Tolkien
Lois Lowry
Eoin Colfer
Markus Zusak
Ray Bradbury
CS Lewis
Mary Pope Osborne
Suzanne Collins

A young man and his ghost, the grandmother walk-through a row of graves in a rainy cemetery THE GHOSTKEEPER book review: “This candid, affirming look at mental health and the importance of taking care of yourself includes attainable coping mechanisms that'll benefit plenty of readers, not just the undead. A vibrant graphic novel with the gentle, feel-good vibes of House in the Cerulean Sea.” —Emmy Widener, American Booksellers Association

Happy World Mental Health Day 🌱 I hope you are extra kind to yourself today, but if you need some extra kindness, my book has been described as a warm ghostly hug 🤗

fiction is a safe space to think of unsafe things if you feel it's messing you up, step away. don't assume it's messing everyone up and you need to eradicate it because you caught a case of the feel-bads from something. go sit with that and think about why instead of pissing in everyone else's cheerios.

That's when I just flip the table and walk off into the woods 😣
