THANK YOU ALL, HERE'S TO NEXT YEAR!

I tracked down the text of this speech by Chicago's own Pope Leo XIV, and the whole essay is a deeply thoughtful essay on why we need art, and why we make art. www.vatican.va/content/leo-...

I'm reposting this from comics artist @alisonsampson.bsky.social who's a pretty deep thinker on art herself!

Trans people could be barred from services based on appearance The new code of practice on access to single-sex services cannot gain legal force until it gets sign-off from ministers.

"Trans people could be asked about whether they should be accessing single-sex services based on their physical appearance."

No. not "trans people". ANYONE. This moral panic leads inexorably to the policing of women based on their appearance deemed to be "unfeminine".

The logic of algorithms tends to repeat what “works,” but art opens up what is possible. Not everything has to be immediate or predictable. Defend slowness when it serves a purpose, silence when it speaks and difference when evocative. Beauty is not just a means of escape; it is, above all, an invocation. When cinema is authentic, it does not merely console but challenges. It articulates the questions that dwell within us and sometimes even provokes tears that we did not know we needed to express.

Pope Leo XIV understands technology and its relationship to art better any executive or AI-pilled techbro running the conference circuit.

I haven't heard anything from American architects about Trump removing their Professional designation. In the UK it took me nine years to get my professional accreditation, which I still have. It's incredibly hard won. There's exams! You've got to study law. It's a Thing.

It is, unfortunately, very common. I've had many, many experiences of men showing portfolios to male neighnours at cons but skipping me. It is because they think you'll never amount to enough to help them connect with editors. Haha- their loss.

Honestly - @denizcamp.bsky.social and various strong collaborators are responsible for about a third of my pull list at moment. So much smart and conceptually fascinating work!

A list of reward tiers from the NAP COMIX Kickstarter DIGITAL - £7, PHYSICAL - £13, SIGNED & SKETCHED IN - £20

What's in the book? 200 pages of wonder, sleep deprivation, heartbreak, joy, surviving and thriving.

A 5-panel comic. Panel 1) The 4am feed with Henry can feel very lonely. Panel 2) I try to think of others that are also awake at that time like...nocturnal animals? Panel 3) Students studying for a test? Panel 4) And of course, people doing the same thing as me. Panel 5) When I think about them, I feel much less alone.

A 2-panel comic. Panel 1) Caption: A few months ago. Henry is stroking Rachael's face. Rachael: Aaaaa Rob, he's stroking my face! Rob: (off-screen) Aw! Panel 2) Caption: Now. Henry is pulling Rachael's face in very uncomfortable-looking ways. Rachael looks non-plussed.

The NAP COMIX Kickstarter closes TOMORROW so if you've been thinking about pre-ordering my new book please do it soon!

It includes the 1st year's worth of comics from the webcomic, as well as LOADS of exclusive content.

Glad you restrained yourself against the AA bookshop. That place is a lot.

“Hagai you have three more days left on your trip why are you posting book haul photos now” because I’m hoping if I post these then I can resist the compulsion to buy more. “Wow Hagai that really is a lot of books that you bought on this trip” thanks I have a shopping problem

I know that. What I meant was, why does he think he's got authority over broadcasters in other countries, and, when those broadcasters are publicly funded by licence money, as the BBC is, this is a direct attack on UK people's choices and belongings and hence a wider diplomatic issue.

This is going to be fun, waiting to be policed that one is not femme enough in public spaces. It's an open door for almost any kind of harassment and possibly sexual assault, by anyone.
Thanks you absolute fuckwit terfs. This is on you. And we know who you are.

The majority of the UK media, encouraged by the UK's equality body, is waging a campaign to encourage the public, employers and health providers to harass anyone who doesn't fit their definition of what a woman should look like.

This is what JK Rowling is funding.

UK ppl: who the eff is that and what does he have to do with us and more importantly, our taxpayer money?

also, sending all the love. no one chooses their illness.

As someone that literally woke up one day with a chronic illness—as a 21-year-old—no one is immune from that happening.
