Nice porno. Interesting shots, compelling dialogue. Unfortunately, it fails to capture the dismal, doomed atmosphere of Dark Souls 1.

posted an update- i predict we have seven* weeks left before getting kicked out. maybe the judge will have pity and give us more time, but she was giving everyone else two weeks.
*i think i said 5 in the update, i did the math wrong. our next court date is in 5 weeks

I'd suggest looking through Wendy Xu's Kofi catalogue if anything speaks to you!
She primarily specializes in ink pen-types for Procreate

I donโ€™t want to formulate words yet, but my friend Alice Wong, @sfdirewolf.bsky.social of the Disability Visibility Project, has passed.

Here are the words she left behind:

hey just fyi they are not just fining danmei authors they are actually arresting & jailing a lot of young, many queer folks for what they create. the arrests come & go in waves & while perhaps not comparable to ice it's certainly still state violence

yeah it's bad. genuinely think my dad teaching me how to read via phonics (bc that's how he was taught as esl) saved me

"the art is saying something" should be the first thought not the second

With these two works by Cheng Ssu-hsiao and Kung K'ai before us, we may pause to note a few more ways in which they exemplify "literary-men's painting." In composing and inscribing poems to accompany them, the artists acknowledged the somewhat literary character of their pictures. Picture and poem were to be absorbed together as parts of a single aesthetic experience; since the poem could be enjoyed visually as a work of calligraphy and the painting read for sym-lic content like a poem, the aesthetic interlocking of these elements was loser than in any of the combinations of visual and verbal art we are accustomed to in the West.

my philosophy of comics is song/yuan dynasty not 3 cue bullshit

i don't want comics to be shunted to the category of "great for reluctant readers" bc of the assumption that you can just guess the story from the pics bc of 3 cueing "reading" it's heinous. i don't care if establishment doesn't take me seriously. i just want kids to have an aesthetic experience
