My character Swallowtail from DOTF, holding a sword with chains

A panel of Swallowtail from the webcomic DOTF

Panels of the webcomic Daughter of a Thousand Faces. The text reads: 1: it’s been a long time since I’ve fought a butterfly sister. 2: or, I guess in this case… brother?

There was some confusion regarding one of the latest chapters of DOTF, so here’s me clarifying that Swallowtail is a transgender man 🫶

Me: uncritical patriotism is a dangerous tool that can be abused to erase historic atrocities and give license for future cruelties

Also me: if Canada doesn’t win this hockey game I will have a mental breakdown

RFK Jr, Tulsi Gabbard, Kash Patel, Russell Vought, Pete Hegseth, Pam Bondi, Elon Musk … just an unimaginable horror show. Cranks and drunks, fanatics and lunatics, traitors and idiots, megalomaniacs and liars. Again: we need to keep expanding our imaginations as to how bad this could get.

Now that Musk and Trump are a thing (albeit very rocky), can we call them #Mumps ?

Makes sense that they're highly infectious.

Hey if anyone is considering backing up any datasets for some reason today, the Open Science Framework has free storage up to 5G/private repository, and up to 50G/public repository.

(The OSF is run by a 501c3 (Center for Open Science), so if you do this you might also consider making a donation.)

Exclusive: Musk aides lock government workers out of computer systems at US agency, sources say Aides to Elon Musk charged with running the U.S. government human resources agency have locked career civil servants out of computer systems that contain the personal data of millions of federal employees, according to two agency officials.

It gets so much worse:

Pretty excited for @flashesapp.bsky.social and @bluescreen.blue so that I can finally divorce Meta as we all need to.

Those who are still on Xitter, it's a sad thing to stick around when @bsky.app is way way way better already.

Extreme wildfires are here to stay. Can human beings really fight them? Fighting for survival, and hope, on a permanently hotter planet

A key thing to appreciate about big wildfires is that they reach an intensity that humans simply can't deal with. Sometimes they are about 10 times more intense than the best firefighters and planes can fight. Offer as much money as you want: it's too late. www.ft.com/content/540f...

What did you think about #ReadyOrNot

Without spoilers, I found it to be yet another film that does a damn good job of spoofing and satirising the selfish apathy of the ultra-rich.

Tell me one of your favourite facts about #Evolution 🧬

This is the way.

If you could choose your own shade/hue of blue for #bluesky, what would it be?

@digi60.bsky.social welcome to Bluesky! I bet this space is going to looooove all the goodies that #OttawaFilmmakers have in store for this season.

Hey Blue sky, here's a picture I snapped of the blue Canadian skies ☁️🔭

@adwills.bsky.social hey hello! So good to see you here, blooming and meming. Used to be quite connected with you and others on Xitter writers community back in 2021. That was pre-transition and then I dropped off the map a bit.

I still have your book and LOVE IT 💛☺️

And if you do find me, then here's my quick intro: I am a multimedia artist, startegist and community connector who creates elaborate fictional cultures in my surrealist mythopoeia called Epidrae 🌍

Hello all,

If the algorithm links my digital synapses with yours, it means we love anthropology, fantasy, comparative mythology, quantum cosmology, evolutionary biology, history, all the arts, all the sciences, human rights, liberatory psychology, queer and neurodivergent issues and goodness.
