4 Black Eggs Surfaced From the Dark Heart of the Ocean—With Alien Creatures Inside These spheres from the abyss conceal creatures with startling biology.

Hatch them. Feed them. Do it

@toadlett.bsky.social :)

I’m sharing this video again because people don’t really get what these data centers and ai are doing to our planet and our communities. Especially Black communities because they were strategically placed there.

I need you to listen to these people.
STOP USING AI. STOP SUPPORTING AI.

In a lot of ways, I'm really lucky. I work from home. I write and draw books. I still experience a lot of the same normal creative issues. I'm burned out. My current project frustrates me. But a few things in my routine have changed. Me: Hey, mom. Are the cousins okay? How's grandma? And your sisters? Me: Oh, good. Yeah. Okay, that's good. I'll call you later. Watching Bob's Burgers on repeat while I work.

My friends check in from time to time. Text: I got rubber-bulleted by ICE just on my way back from work. Ouch. Text: Hey I'm gonna observe tomorrow at the protest. I'll text every hour, and if you don't hear from me, please call [number] and give them my identifying information. I'd probably be at the Whipple. Okay? Text: They knocked on my door, but I'm okay. I demanded a signed judicial warrant, and they couldn’t provide one, so they left. I’m worried all the time.

Very little in the news feels encouraging. Headline: Mayor Kaohly Her says she was told to carry a passport amid ICE operations in Minnesota St. Paul Mayor elect Kaobly Her says her office received reports of federal agents going door-to-door asking where the Asian people are. KARE11 January 16, 2026

And it makes me feel utterly untethered from reality when I have to live like this and just get back to work and draw my stupid little cartoons. Nothing else feels real or important right now. But my neighbors are doing such a great job staying engaged and finding needs to meet. Text: I'm running to Costco and picking up some canned goods to run to the food shelf. Let me know if you want to donate anything. Text: I'll throw in for some canned goods! Text: Me too! Text from me: What's your Venmo? I can contribute.

Things continue.

Which brings us to the House of Lords Digital Committee, which is looking at the government’s brilliant idea of giving away everyone’s copyright to American artificial intelligence giants, in return for a bag of magic beans that can only be seen by the very wisest ministers. A consultation on this last year found it was supported by just three percent of respondents, which must be some kind of record. That’s even smaller than the number of people who believe that the Loch Ness monster is real, or that Keir Starmer is doing a good job. On Tuesday, the committee was treated to a joint appearance from Technology Secretary Liz Kendall and Claims-To-Be-Culture-Secretary Lisa Nandy. Two secretaries of state at once! Or one-and-a-half, anyway. “I don’t think our secretaries of state need much introduction,” Committee Chair Baroness Keeley said. Other opinions are available. They had come, it turned out, not to defend their own proposals, but to bury them. “We are having a genuine reset mom

Artificial Unintelligence: the government is in full retreat over copyright, and the attempts to make it look dignified only make it funnier. My SKETCH.

Illustrations done in an early medieval manuscript & Pictish artwork inspired style of St. Columba and St. Oswald. L: Columba is dressed in a brown monk's habit and has a grey beard and thinning hair. He holds a book with a red and gold chequerboard pattern cover and a simple crozier. He is on an orange background with stylised representations of his 12 companions in red linework. In a section beneath, on a black background is the Loch Ness monster and fish. R: Oswald is dressed in a blue tunic with gold edges and a red cloak. He has chestnut coloured beard & long hair which is curled and long. He has a scabbard at his waist and holds out a silver plate of bread. He wears cross-gartered boots over green leggings. Below are 3 figures shown much smaller representing those he is giving alms to. Behind is a knotwork design in yellow, orangey red, and green.

An intimate scene at a party in 17th century France. Two vampire women gaze at each other, holding hands at a card table. They are radiant in pink, drops of blood on their lace. Around them other party goers in purple-blue, wearing half-masks, oblivious to the true nature of the women. Behind an intricate decorated mantlepiece in warm pale gold.

A drawing of Bathsheba Everdene from Thomas Hardy’s book ‘Far From The Madding Crowd’ within an oval. She stands amid lush green ferns, her long black curled hair worn loose. She wears a navyish mid 19th century riding habit with pink waistcoat, tan gloves & a red necktie. Four green caterpillars of the large white butterfly border the oval.

A medievalesque red dragon is coiled within a blue square border on a gold background.

man, thank you! Probably not how waves actually work, but I had a lot of fun with the shapes

a screenshot of a WIP comics page in CSP, with an attempted line drawing of a complicated tall ship with a lot of ropes in rough waves

for me a major part of making comics is apparently trying to draw historical chairs or ropes on a ship better. so that the gay kissing and interpersonal drama hits right

Anyone wondering why @lindarrow.bsky.social and I (and many others) left Hiveworks, read this statement.

The Guild has been a source of incredible inspiration, full of amazing people who care deeply about their peers & webcomics as a whole. I am sincerely grateful for everyone's hard work in this.

Only four people in the UK have formally complained about a trans woman entering a “single-sex” facility, an eye-opening report has revealed.

A report published by advocacy group TransLucent found that only four official complaints were documented across 382 public bodies since 2022.

After Hours at Dooryard Books by Cat Sebastian, held up in front of a bookshelf.

Last night I finished my first book of 2026! I have read many Cat Sebastian books and loved them all, but this one is quite special. It's self published, and you can tell she took this opportunity to stray from the typical romance formula. It's quiet and intimate and political, set in 1968 NYC.

Picked up and then devoured this graphic novel today! Was so impressed with how @haridraws.bsky.social played with Austen inspiration and real historical aspects of queer lives, people of color, and class expectations in Regency England. Strongly recommend!

The goose is out of the bag! The illustrated puzzle I've been working on is now available through magicpuzzlecompany.com/products/the... This is the biggest drawing I've ever done and I'm so pleased with how it turned out

- more info & tix at bio.site/roughdraft

ok this makes me feel... better about everything

I've been so lucky to work with publishers, editors and agents who really understand the amount of work, time and money graphic novels ACTUALLY take (or who listen!) - but that sometimes feels like the exception, & imo the general state of understanding is even worse in UK kids pubs

read this thread, the entire thread, because my god we need people in this industry to learn what comics are and how they are made. every one of these posts rang true and hit home w my own experiences

I finally started reading Earthsea

Photos of snowy landscapes under a clear sunrise

Pure crash bandicoot 2 out this morning

a photo showing a frozen lake partially covered in snow the snow creates horizontal stripes contrasting with the black ice underneath far in the background, out of focus trees overall color pallette is very monochromatic

a photo of the frozen surface of a lake with snow collecting in the shape of a circle around a spot very strong contrast between the white shape created by the snow and the black ice underneath

a photo of pebbles in shalow water under a layer of ice the ice creates a pixellation effect and gives the pebbles an almost painterly, abstract look muted color palette of light browns, blacks and whites

a photo of two coots (black waterfowl with a white bill) on the surface of a lake, with frozen trees out of focus in the background heavy snowfall makes the photo look very noisy and almost abstract muted color palette of very desaturated browns and greens

amazing textures at the lake today
