I post a new version of this every other year or so, and every year comic book page rates stay the same. Five years ago, people were getting paid $240 in '25 dollars; today they are getting the same $150 a page.

the beast (from beauty and the beast), appearing in the middle of a dense rose-bush foliage, gently holding a tiny bird in its huge paws and looking at it with tenderness. the castle tower can be seen in the distance.

Baldur's Gate 3 fan comic. The party of four walk through the ruined halls of Grymforge, debating the ongoing slavery of deep gnomes by the duergar clan. "Why are we stopping to bother with saving gnomes!?" Astarion drawls, "Your people are an elevator away!" Aldiirn responds, "explosive experts on our side will pay off if we need to cripple Moonrise, and we won't get there without the Moonlantern."

"What do you have against gnomes, anyway?" Aldiirn raises an eyebrow quizzically. Astarion sneers, "they're just so shhhh---"

Astarion pauses and draws out the word "short" as long as possible as he's hit with the mistake he's about to make - Aldiirn's smile warning that he has another racial sensitivity seminar all prepped to go and Karlach and Shadowheart do not want to be forced to sit through it.

"--short on manners. Very rude." Astarion finishes in a huff. "Anyone would be under forced labour, don't you think?" Aldiirn offers, sparkling like he wasn't just about to metaphorically wreck Astarion's day.

Aldiirn can drop another sensitivity seminar at any time, do NOT test him on it because he will make sure everyone knows who is the reason they're sitting through another GalePoint. 🙂 #bg3 #art

What Rosalind Franklin truly contributed to the discovery of DNA’s structure Franklin was no victim in how the DNA double helix was solved. An overlooked letter and an unpublished news article, both written in 1953, reveal that she was an equal player.

"After Watson...read the MRC report, they could not unsee it...they could have — and should have — requested permission to use the data and made clear exactly what they had done, first to Franklin and Wilkins, and then to the rest of the world, in their publications." www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Wip~ 🥺

Rosalind Franklin died at 37 of ovarian cancer attributed to radiation exposure from the methods she & her assistant used to photograph a cross-section of the DNA double helix.

Meanwhile, Watson won a Nobel off that work & survived to the ripe old age of 97 by simply: stealing those notes!

This is why I regularly let people know how awesome I think they are.

We often think that awesome people must naturally know they’re awesome, but they don’t. And letting them know could be the little push that they really needed that day.

Illustration of sharks of different size and species. The species range from a large Whaleshark to a small Spiny Dogfish. The sharks are many colors: green, blue, teal, and pink. There is seaweed behind them and a dark abyss of an ocean

Had the chance to illustrate for Quanta again, and got to draw one of my favorite animals: sharks! This is for “Shark Data Suggests Animals Scale Like Geometric Objects” by Joanna Thompson. It was really fun to focus on all sorts of species, from the large Whale Shark to the small Spiny Dogfish

Not only is it going to be a hunger crisis, it's going to be a farm crisis. All those gallons of milk bought from dairy farmers, all the produce, all the on sale ground beef and packs of chicken that are paid for by SNAP are subsidies to farmers who don't qualify for commodities subsidies.
