don’t ever lose sight of what’s important in life (the two fictional characters in your mind that keep you going)
Well I never noticed before but now I do 👁️👄👁️
Until the world takes my pencil away, I'm just going to keep drawing.

Oregon's larger cities are probably the safest place I can be as trans person, but all it'll take is one fucked election, or worse, to end that.
I don't have any legal way of getting a passport anymore bcuz of these fucks, so I couldn't even leave if I wanted to. There's an obscure way I could claim Can. citizenship through my grt-gparents but I don't even know where to begin finding documents to prove it.
But like I said, if I wanted to.

Thank goodness it's my Friday, because I'm working with a coworker that talks so much my breaks have become less relaxing than my tasks.
This is an Art Attack.
A new newsletter discussing art at the end of the world, trench and plague art, memento mori, the danger of a frozen culture, and reading too much into the 28 Years Later sequels.

This headline could have been written so much better. The article is about victims of abuse learning about and reaching out to support groups because they turned to ChatGPT/AI for "therapy".
I wondered if you'd see this lmao

There's no mention of a lot of trans porn being enjoyed by trans viewers, but their emphasis on "desire is desire, trans or not" means that is a separate discussion to be had.
This article is a good starting point to talk about (USA) trans porn, creators, and the environment in which they exist.
While, personally, this article feels like it's preaching to be choir, I'm glad they're discussing it openly.

If you’re at #eccc please don’t forget to come to the Basement! A lot of people seem to think there’s only Funko pops and long box comics and blind boxes, but they moved a bunch of indie artists down here too! Don’t miss out!!
I think the biggest damage to the art community was the obsolescence of gallery sites (y!, deviantart, etc) and the rise of scroll-by social media, like twitter and even tumblr. Art is not ''content'', you shouldnt need to post art every day (or every month!) to be relevant. This mindset sucks.
Your setup looks so good!!!
Went back to bed and felt fine when I woke up so don't know what the FUCK that was. Horrible.
-100 out of 10, would only recommend to my worst enemies.
Threw up, violently, for the first time in a decade and a half and I'm fucking traumatized.
Take this one to the bank!
That was the first comic con I ever attended!
Go go go goooo!!
I can only imagine what kind of misguided advice those reddit blorbs are giving...

Folks, I caught the flu this week and won't be able to make it to ECCC. I've just dropped a bunch of new/con exclusive stuff on my online shop to help make up for the loss, and you can get 15% off til 3/15 if you use the code "BOOFLU"

COMIC: Finally being organized!
The wild thing is, I absolutely had an E rx before I started transitioning, but it wasn't a surface cream and it actually hurt to stick up there (for the aforementioned reasons!!!)
Life is fucking strange.

Pay incredible artists, get incredible work!
