Many such cases. You guys should read SIR by Fell Hound, Bad Pussy featuring art by my pal Zach Raw, the Chromatic Fantasy by H.A., My Dear Lass by Tracy Hu, and Show Me Your Bust from Team Gaji, damn it.

Also Fingersmith by Sarah Waters, that one's not a comic though. Not yet anyway... ๐Ÿ˜

When thereโ€™s so clearly more people who donโ€™t want fascism than do want fascism it becomes pretty fucking unignorable that the Democratic Party has a widespread candidate, platform and messaging problem. Every election is theirs to lose, and they do.

Do you think Iโ€™d explain my masterstroke if there remained the slightest chance of you affecting its outcome? I made the NYPD woke 35 minutes ago.

I'm not on social media too often. And being shown a post by an actual author that clubs me into a "white dude" category is well... reaffirming that people will be cringe regardless of the platform.

Yikes. Ya could have typed some stuff into Google, I don't know.

Reply to this with cool art, promotional stuff for your comics or patreons or whatever, and any active kickstarters going on and Iโ€™ll try to repost as many as I can. :)

remember this Alan Moore wisdom: โ€œโ€ฆyou have to put aside the fear of failing and the desire of succeeding. You have to do these things completely and purely without fear, without desire. Because things that we do without lust of result are the purest actions we shall ever take.โ€

Now can we do these kinds of numbers the next time I post championing an exciting emerging new comics artist?

That would be nice.

Somewhere in the United States someone who invested their life savings into an inflatable frog costume business to the dismay of everyone that knew them is having the best week of their life and handing I Told You Sos to those who doubted them.

The Obama Hope poster, but it's a frog and it says "Hop"

The Obama Hope poster, but it's a frog and it says "Hop"

I saw a tragically AI-generated version of this poster, so I have recreated a 100% human-made version for all your protest sign needs.

People think that when folks say โ€œdonโ€™t take pictures of your face at the protestโ€ the poster thinks that otherwise itโ€™s impossible for the gov to touch you and like no

We know they have access to other things

Itโ€™s about making the informed choice to give them less

Oh yeah โ€” one of those โ€œyou donโ€™t even know how wrong you areโ€ moments! I was thinking Etienne might turn into a disembodied psychic cloud or something, but the actual reveal was way more interesting than that ๐Ÿ˜…

Wait, do you mean this towards the characters, or creators? (Donโ€™t want to assume the wrong way, but do want to talk Power Fantasy)

Sigils might be a good starting point, and they do โ€œalways workโ€, but I think thereโ€™s a cost to it, too. Thereโ€™s only so many times you can believe/not believe in something before something breaks/rots/deteriorates inside you

Oh, magic is still cool, and I get a lot out of Tarot and Kabbalah (via Promethea) and Iโ€™ve been meaning to read more of the Moon and Serpent bumper book

Itโ€™s the chaos piece I let go of (or, at least donโ€™t focus on)

I want to actually believe in something, not just hack/cheat my consciousness

Ya know, thatโ€™s actually cool. I would hope theyโ€™d be receptive to the energy/environmental aspect, too (at least as important as the stolen work piece)

Iโ€™ve slung some sigils myself because of their work and words (how I met my wife) and, yeahโ€ฆ I decided a while ago Iโ€™m not a Chaos Magician

You gotta be a miserable selfish fuck to wanna spend, what might be your and our final days, asking a fucking robot to make "polaroids of your mind"? Go outside, look at butterflies. Or go have sex or something. Connect to the natural world, and to other people, while you still can.

Out of curiosity, was that before or after they referred to AI as some kind of Stray God?

Based on previous talks Iโ€™ve had with a friend at dayjob and the thing we both just reposted โ€” AI tends to run on GPUs, so there may have been some fuckery of that sort
