has only further isolated the region) and i think it is possible for grown adult humans to recognize human dignity & human folly at the same time. i'm not going to blame ppl for their own poverty bc i have a brain in my skull

even cruelty against ppl you believe are wrong. they do not deserve to live in trailers w/o heat, to die decades early of cancer, even if every last person in the whole region was evil, they would not deserve that. it would not make them less evil (as evidenced by how decades of this rhetoric

babe: i was raised by violent trump supporters, i lived with crooked cop who beat my mother. i know appalachia can harbor evil. i am no fool. i just recognize that scarcity causes pain, and the solution here is not to punish people but to extend a hand. there is no excuse for cruelty.

also the battle of blair mountain was the largest labor uprising in US history and WV had to declare martial law. it's a little embarrassing you didn't know what i was talking about man. that degree not serving you too well huh

i was beat by my trump supporting parents, and i still refuse to find them inhuman because i have actual principles about the value of human life. i never said they were right. i said they deserved mercy & respect. scarcity causes violence & the solution will always be: provide.

and if i am capable of having compassion for a region that, in its suffering, causes suffering, then what is your excuse mr. illinois? perhaps wanting to find others inhuman to make your world easier to understand is inherently, hm, bad. but what does a hillbilly know?

someone sounds a little peeved it was rightfully pointed out they were using fascist rhetoric to say victims of extreme poverty deserve it. i don't think anyone deserves suffering and i have undoubtedly suffered more at the hands of appalachia than you ever will

i have no idea how you drew that conclusion from what i said & it is weird that you would draw it. i said appalachia's not a monolith and is not defined by someone in illinois lol. these things are known as true

i am also appalachian. my point is that people aren't monoliths and and inherently deserving of the mercy of being understood. deny yourself that at your own risk

which, yeah, is a fucking privilege in appalachia, you just wouldn't know that because which of you dumb fucks has even driven through matoaka WV? have you watched ppl crawl over rubble that is decades old? you oughta rather die before you shame these people from YOUR position. find mercy or else

my home is all shantytowns now and i had lost generations of my family and friends to the opioid crisis before the rest of the nation was brave enough to even put a name to the devil. you say this shit to ppl using pine needles as insulation while you enjoy the privilege of internet access

people saying this have no idea why the dedication in demon copperhead was "for the survivors" - if you've never run brown water from your tap or lived in a house threaded with coal dust in the land where scarcity is god, you don't get to talk about my home

anyway i came to post a freaky alligator not find JD vance clones

their trailers with pine needles for their material conditions is exactly what trump WANTS you to do, considering you sound like a JD vance clone. if you don't like the fascists maybe don't repeat their talking points, it makes you look like a bit of a loser

if you don't know enough to know why appalachia went red, that's just ignorance on your part and it will cost you. the US govt abandoned us decades ago, and i'm sorry that you don't like your first taste of what that was like for us, but it started here. i think blaming the ppl stuffing

i liked your account but this is an opinion worth instantly unfollowing you for. i had family die on blair mountain and they didn't die for so called progressives to fail to understand what appalachia has been punished for, which was waging war for labor rights.

Opening title splash page for OMAC #1 from 1974 by Kirby. It's an opened "build-a-friend" box showing different parts ready to assemble.

Jack Kirby was wilding on this one.
#comics #art

in the style of a charcoal sketch, the drawing depicts an upwards look at the swamp thing as he hefts a lantern over his head in a dark, winter forest. the only color in the piece are swamp thing's red eyes

#swampthing doodle done, may or may not ink it in the future just to feel somehing

ALL AT THE SAME TIME??? AND PPL EXPECTED ME TO BE FINE????? that episode single handedly had me reading comics for the first time in 5 years

an unifinished sketch emulating the style of a graphite drawing, featuring batman with the cowl pulled down holding a young stephanie brown while dick grayson (age 12) gives jason todd (who has a comically enraged expression) an intense noogie. alfred pennyworth's back faces the viewer and he's saying, "the provisions, sir," while holding out a tray with 1 bottle of jet-fuel like caffeine

i'll prolly never finish this #batman drawing bc i can't bring myself to change jason's expression 😭 SOMEONE GO ASK GREG RUCKA WHY HED PUT ALL THESE TINY ROBINS IN THE SAME EPISODE #batfam

thank you so much ❤️ this made my day, i hope you have a good one too!

an unfinished procreate screenshot of an upwards look at swamp thing

whenever i'm not drawing swamp thing it just becomes true that i have to immediately fix this and start drawing #swampthing

oh my god you still don't get it this is hilarious. men are literally so bad at listening you can tell them you're baiting them and they'll still bite. you are, sincerely, one of the least alive living creatures i have ever met. and all it takes is a joke about dick size. the bar is low

also lol. 'BLM myth.' racists are easy to trick into saying more racist shit, just keep handing them rope (you can even tell them you're doing this and they'll still play along, apparently!)

you still have not realized, despite being directly told, that i'm responding to call you a loser cunt, specifically bc you'll let me insult you as much as i want just to have the final word. your ego literally will not let you read my words. you wouldn't pass the mirror self-awareness test tiny tim

i had an argument, you just kinda refused to read it and announced victory. small dick energy really. now i'm just seeing how desperate you are to save face - how many times do i get to insult you before you give up? how do you not have more of a life, man? even i enjoyed my saturday lmao

This Jack Kirby X Jackson Pollock mashup was part of a series I shopped together for kicks. A big art account swiped it on Twitter (which is fine, I don’t own either of the respective pieces, I just smooshed them together) but it stirred up a bunch of controversy from purists. 🤭

gotta get on this level of organization
