Hi! I’m going to New York Comic Con this year as press. If you’re looking for someone to do coverage from the con, or need a moderator for your panel, or a panelist, or a person who is named Alex you can say hello to in order to complete some weird scavenger hunt, let me know!

Today I remembered to bring sun cream with me to uni, and even though I had put it on before leaving my house three hours earlier, I still took the time to go to the bathroom sink, wash my hands, and put on a new layer of SPF on my face and neck and arms before leaving the university building.

Taking sun protection seriously is a hassle, but it’s much less of a hassle than having to go through a dangerous illness.

Ken: Hey, I'm Ken. Ian: And I'm Ian. We're both in receipt of the B.I.A. (Basic Income For the Arts)

Ken: Our last payment is in February 2026. The future of the scheme is uncertain, but we're here to talk about the past and what we've accomplished these past three years. Ian: Thanks to the B.I.A, I have expanded my skill set and learned 3D sculpting. I bought a 3D printer to make hand painted toys of my own designs.

Ian: I can afford to repair it and spent thousands in the local economy continuing to grow and create. Ken: As for me, I've been self-publishing small books for a while, but I now have the means to release larger books, which also gave me the confidence to run two different crowdfunding campaigns.

Ken: Without it, and after failing to return to animation, I was going to start a career in I.T. I was in a bad place with no hope for the future, but almost overnight, the B.I.A made my long struggling passion into a real livelihood. Nowadays, I can travel for events, sustain car expenses and socialise without managing my spending. In darker times, I was about to pay all the vet bills for my dying cat.

Hello! I've been one of the lucky few on the BIA these last few years, and in light of the uncertainty of its future and potential for public support, I decided to write out this comic with the help of BIA compatriot @ianfay.bsky.social to share our stories. 1/3

It's EXACTLY like asbestos - actually very useful in a small and confined but important series of uses, absolutely toxic and avoided by non-professionals everywhere else

First day in months that I actually have had to put on more clothes because it’s chilly indoors! Bless.

Because it’s time for warcoffee and a treat.

Life goes on in Kyiv.
We don’t need red carpets to feel strong.

HISTORIC ! ALMOST 30c IN ICELAND

And Highest temperature overall in the country since July 1946.

YouTube video by leena norms You’re wrong about SPF

pretty wild how so many dads with a massive DVD collection of WWII movies somehow managed to miss the entire point

Grensen er nådd Det er farligere enn noen gang å hjelpe sivile ofre i krig.

Progress! 😀

It’s really silly, I’m sitting there like I’ve never seen my homescreen before.

After Apple updated the dark mode design, I have nearly been unable to find whatever app I’m looking for when dark mode is enabled.

I see people use the names and nicknames of ideologies/political ideologies in different ways. It can be a good thing to read up a bit on what the specific ideologies entail.

Still from Bejeweled music video (Taylor Swift). Taylor performs as a showgirl in front of an audience, the light is orange, the background is teal.

That makes sense!

A page from the Eras Tour book with the following text on a dark background, a zoomed in blurry nighttime shot of the Eras crowd during TTPD: THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT This chapter was added in halfway through the tour after I released The Tortured Poets Depaerment. We conceptualized and rehearsed it secretly, and surprised the Paris crowd with it when we started our European leg of the tour. I wanted it to be minimalist, white, sun, and bold. There was nothing else in the show like it, and it was such an exciting challenge to try to improve upon a show I already loved. Costumes were designed by Inene Westwood, with my lyrics printed in cursive all over my white dress. The 'rover' platform I travel on is actually operated by a crew member, who lays inside the platform and drives it from inside. I wanted to create the illusion of an alien abduction, a battle scene, a religious institution, a mental institution, a haunted house, and a showgirl's dressing room routine. It was ambitious as hell but we pulled it off, creating what I think is ode most dramatic, cathartic, female-rage driven part of the night. Showgirl’s is underlined.

wait hold up pls see the underlined part

✨ HOW TO: support artists for $0.00 ✨

Illustration of a blue flying horse, containing the text “#Pictures Mean Business.” To the right, blue text reads “Why do so many book people keep forgetting to credit illustrators?” Below is the credit “Illustration: Sarah McIntyre ~ http://www.picturesmeanbusiness.com/”.

To publishers & authors posting book covers: Please credit the illustrator.

Doing a #CoverReveal? Credit illustrator & designer. Not only does this help boost artist but it shows people that you hired a HUMAN artist.

Cartoon illustration showing a classroom display titled “Our Favourite Picture Book” with drawings of a cat character. The text on the poster reads “By John Writer. Our class has drawn his character!” Two children say, “We love John Writer!” and “His cats are so cute!” Beside the display, a woman labeled “Jane Illustrator, feeling miffed” thinks, “But… John Writer didn’t decide how this character would look… I did!” Caption at the bottom reads “#PicturesMeanBusiness Sarah McIntyre.”

Teachers: Please name the illustrator when you read to students. Discuss the art. Invite illustrators to visit. Show next generation that art in book was created by a HUMAN, that their work matters. www.picturesmeanbusiness.com/teachers/

Comic by Sarah McIntyre showing various ways of doing a byline for a picture book. Ideal solutions show equal partnership between author and illustrator.

A quote from Taylor Swift on a blue sky background with flying seagulls. The text discusses her album 1989 leaking online, fan reactions, and the importance of respecting art. “TAYLOR’S VERSION” is written at the top.

Some people need to read this!!

I love seeing friends share the news about Taylor’s new album on their IG stories, it’s some sparkle in an otherwise dark time ❤️‍🔥

Not a good week for our productivity, is it

Waking up on Thursday is going to be so much fun. 🪩
