Emergency mutual aid request❗️ $0/$2000. My rent payment bounced this month and I'm in VA and we have draconian laws and I got a note on my door that they're going to start eviction in 5 days. I've lived here 6 years and we've only ever been late once. I'm working on it but any help is appreciated πŸ™

Sometimes I’ll see posts on the Internet reminiscing and saying stuff like β€œI miss when we had amateur longform comics like TwoKinds and BCB, they don’t get popular or nobody cares anymore” and I wanna be like… babes, you gotta seek out amateur comics and support them if you want them to be popular.

I 100% believe that he knows he’s dying & a holy war is a shot at salvation with the benefit of destroying a world that would very unfairly dare to continue existing without him.

We are witnessing the most selfish actions ever known. Historically, executions, not flowers, are the only apology.

My daughter reported that the ICE presence outside her school during recess last week involved ICE officers sitting IN AN ICE CREAM TRUCK. And this wasn't kids misinterpreting. We had an email from the school the day it happened; we just didn't get the ice cream detail in the email.

This is the influencer letter I wrote as part of the marketing campaign for I Will Kill Your Imaginary Friend for $200. My editor called it "insulting in a captivating way."

I do not expect everyone who comes to my table to buy something. You don’t gotta tell the creators you have no money, they also have no money. You can just make eye contact, tell them you really like their work and subscribe to their newsletter. That goes a long long way!

TN is considering a new bill that allows parents to sue large platforms that allow "material harmful to minors"β€” including sculpture, drawings, photos, music or video gamesβ€” that describe or depict nudity, sex or "excessive violence"

The censorship that started with "porn" is coming for everything.

If you're doomscrolling, guess what? So far there are 51 kākāpō chicks hatched and thriving this season, the same number of birds as we had in TOTAL in the 90s! Only one chick has died and there are still fertile eggs waiting to hatch!

You better wake the fuck up now. If we don't make their lives ABSOLUTELY FUCKING MISERABLE, we're going be the ones who get shafted. And HARD.

You best believe that everything about the Internet we know is going to die and everything we know and love with it.

I've made my calls today. You need to.
