glad to hear all went well! & happy to see the catgirls are back~

Today is the last day to get the gorgeous hardback edition of THE SECOND SAFEST MOUNTAIN at 25% off!

whether it actually matters very much to consider that the society within lsraeli zionism is inherently two-tiered between the european/american and non-white jewish ppl is another discussion in the light of this moment, but unsurprisingly it also employs a racist hierarchy within it

on principle i disagree with nothing here, but i do want to add factual granularity: my partner with moroccan-iranian background didn't have the passport rights to anywhere else similar to many mizrahim in the land & we had to go through a long hard visa process to get them to live in finland w/ me

pivoting to normal & good stories about brave soldiers of the mighty west getting heroically blown up to bits in 4k by the scary oriental other after depicting run of the mill power play bdsm is banned everywhere for being too frighteningly sickening a depiction of the worst parts of human nature

platforms for accidentally lingering too long within a fraught topic and losing my livelihood over it is not worth the risk of the full exploration of anybodys artistic vision. unless it's the kind of state enforced sexless hyper-violence we're all inundated with 24/7, that stuff is a-ok

i like to depict intense, broody, emotionally & physically fraught eroticism in my work, a lot of which if it happened in the real world would be dangerous or unhealthy. ppl say my work is daring, but you see the chickenshit versions of it because the risk of getting banned from -

wiser people are making better posts about this now but blanket banning *fictional* depictions of noncon and any weird sex shit also makes all your favorite artists make worse, riskless and less interesting work, including yours truly -

"Selling Out Is Bad" is a valuable concept and despite all the baggage and bullshit and elitism it could contain it's actually really good to reinforce the ideal that having integrity when it matters, especially when it hurts, is what good/cool people do. Should be adapted instead of jettisoned.

wthhh just how on earth is this even frameable as your fault? i'm sorry nero, as if you don't have enough on your plate x(

aw hehe thank you....!!

thank you! it seems itch is down, hopefully for not too long still

it looks like itch has been down for the last 4 hours, unlucky timing :') thank you!

i feel like apologizing for milking the occasion so much, but as you can imagine the times are a little toughé for comic artists releasing adult works on the world wide web as their primary source of income these days, so... time to wear the milking gloves as they say (?)
