AI does not "assist" translators, it just makes their work harder, brings down the quality, and impacts their pay. 😭

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

I know it’s difficult right now, but I insist that you seek and enjoy beautiful things, even if it seems frivolous or irresponsible in the face of overwhelming horror. I want you to feed yourself artistically, spiritually, and literally, because you can’t Do The Work when you’re starving.

Thank you for everyone's support!!!! Read yuri it makes your skin glow and gives you six pack abs in 100 days!!!!!

いつもありがとうございます☺️いよいよの英語版、大変光栄に思っています💓よろしくお願いします

It was clearly made with a lot of love, plus fun and fantastic subtitles by @duxovni.com too!! I'll definitely be rewatching this one 🥰

Like?? Sapphic Summer Wars (sorta) with Vocaloid and VTubers?? HELLO???

I finally watched Cosmic Princess Kaguya and it felt like it was engineered in a lab to destroy me (positive)

Hey.

Tell people when they do good job.

When you like the stuff they make.

When you like the characters they’ve created.

The stories they’ve told.

Nobody hears it as often as you think bc everyone thinks everyone hears it all the time.

Trust. They don’t.

Tell. Them.

4 panel silly comic in black lines only. A blob guy has a big pencil. It says “I draw”. In the second panel he seems happy with his drawing and it says “all done yeah”. Panel 3 shows him holding up the drawing of a triangle with legs and a happy face. He goes “come on”. In the final panel he’s very pleased with himself, closes his eyes and tells himself “I’m a bit incredible”

Come on

They scream “only two genders exist!!”
But every soul shines in its own irreplaceable color 🌈✨

“But wehhh, I have to use AI to make my storyyy”
I just dropped a 60-page Garfield manga featuring all 118 current periodic table elements, which I researched individually for each design. AI’s NEVER going to give you that and I require way less water

This post is going around again so I will add this excellent resource: leavesubstack.com

Hey, it’s coming up to the first of the month. I should be okay for now but will put this up regardless- I’ve been getting the runaround from state aid organizations and am just doing what I can to float along.

As ever, any donations help and reposting helps too.

You wouldn’t translate a car’s ハンドル as “handle”.
You wouldn’t translate a ハイタッチ as “high touch”.
So why would you translate 「」 as “”?

True facts: 99% of the time, you shouldn’t, and here’s why.

TAMA IN CAPTIVITY (Tamagotchi Paradise mini fanzine from last year) (1/2)

I *just* noticed that I wrote 2025 on the first page 💀 but here's my hourlies from yesterday if you missed em!

Majora and Kass sit on top of me in bed (as they have most nights recently)

Epilogue: my bedtime prediction came true 😌

HOURLY COMIC DAY. A series of comics drawn in the style of Simone Veil. Hourly comic day is observed annually on February 1st. It was started in 2006 by webcomic artist Simone Veil. (Hey) she’s has come out as trans in the intervening year years, so she went by a different name in 2006. You may recognize her as the author of the webcomic pictures for sad children.

Her comics are simply drawn often black and while. Characters are usually heads and bodies with stick arms. This is me trying to imitate her style (kind of a pale imitation). Her comics often concern sadness and existential dread manifesting in strange and surreal ways.

In 2011, she held a kickstarter for a print compilation of pfsc. Funding greatly exceeded her expectations. In 2014x after struggling to fulfill the last of the orders and contending with a rising chorus of internet hate, she posted a video of her burning boxes of unshipped comics. Then she deleted her comic archives and vanished off th internet. But I digress.

On December 21, 2005, Simone Drew a comic every hour she was awake. When th day was over, she kept going. On January 25, 2006, she picked a day and invited other people to give it a try too. And they did.

Incidentally, for 2024’s Hourly Comics Day, I started to make a comic about the history of Simone and Hourly Comics Day. But (ha ha) you know how it is with HCD sometimes — it gets away from you. Here’s as much as I made.

9:00 henshin #3: Ash heads out, I am already in a kigurumi
