On 20 October 2015, someone shot the sheriff of a makeshift little town. Today, almost exactly a decade later, we learn who did the deed. deadwinter.cc/page/678

Over the past ~12 years I've hidden little clues to a murder mystery in between other plot threads. Give it a reread & guess who it was!

The art is gorgeous and the story's complete. There's a big shift in the story's focus at one point but it works in its favor as an overall story. Lots to say about the perpetuation of violence and how hard and worthwhile it is to cultivate things in spite of those difficulties.

If I wanted to ensure something I drew wouldn't get run through an AI program I'd print zines in my living room, you get me?

I'm not sure I see the point but I have a more cavalier attitude to posting art online. Once you post something digitally you do it with the knowledge that you're giving up a lot of control on what people do with it for the ease of sharing it.

I think critics shot their load about the unique possibilities of webcomics far too early, focusing exclusively on technical possibilities like infinite canvas and multimedia storytelling. Cultural interest peaked and moved on, and missed the longitudinal literary features of webcomics.

A pumpkin patch in a variety of shapes and colours, some with carved faces with different expressions. Between the pumpkins are black and white cats, crows, frogs, bushes, twigs and mushrooms.

Posted a new page of Dead Winter tonight. deadwinter.cc/page/677 We're getting nearer to the end of the comic, and tonight we get an interesting bit of information out of our new friend. It's been a minute since I've had to letter a page full of dialogue!

Three sticker (or flyer) designs, ready to decorate your local bar or rabble-rouse in public bathrooms.

Design 1: A classic bathroom silhouette icon, wearing a dress on its left side, trousers on the right, and a balaclava over its head. Text reads โ€œDANGER: Subversive pisser in this areaโ€

Design 2: Cross-stitch text in blue, purple and pink reads โ€œTrans, Cis. Intersex, Non-binary โ€“ weโ€™d all rather piss at homeโ€. Corners are decorated with traditional floral elements.

Design 3: Black and yellow hazard borders and a yellow warning triangle accompany the text โ€œGenital surveillance in effect in this areaโ€. Beneath it, smaller text reads โ€œNobody is safe until we are all safe. Protect your trans siblings.โ€

Courtesy of the Clydeside Pissers Union, enjoy three sticker designs for prettying up your favourite gay bar or making a stink in your local trans-exclusionary bog. For the occasions when 'a trans person used this bathroom and nobody got hurt' is not enough.

A vertical illustration of a pastel toned tiger looking over its shoulder at the viewer, beneath a stylised sun and a ring of pale flowers. Balanced negative space on both sides of the image make it suitable to frame as a centred print, or to trim down for use as a bookmark.

So my mom has justโ€ฆ not had many good days the past few years. Her depression has made it tough to see how beautiful & perfect she is. Part of why I moved in aside from caretaking for my dad was to help her rediscover herself.

So we did a kimono shoot for her bday. Look at her radiant smile yโ€™all.

controversial take for an author at this moment but I think libgen and free access to information is good actually; I think people taking advantage of this for profit are the bad guys, but broad access to books around the world that arenโ€™t published in all countries โ€ฆ.good actually

This popular meme is a joke about the sexual assault and murder of a trans man, Brandon Teena.

Most donโ€™t know that. Now you do. Now spend some time thinking about why you donโ€™t know that.
