A comic of a black spikes figure speaking to a white figure with a rectangular head. Black figure: “Everything fucking sucks. And everyone online is like… Make art! Art is, you know, super important! But what if nobody cares about my art? Who is that going to help? Who is that gonna SAVE?” White figure: “You. And a few people like you, maybe.” Black figure: “Yeah. Maybe.”

I do think it’s important.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Screenshot of David Simon interview SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems... SIMON: What? SHAPIRO: ...Or saying... SIMON: You imagine that? SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over. SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level. SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this. SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

The only correct take on a fundamentally anti-human technology.

all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.

Feels like the whole world is crashing out rn... I just wanna draw man. I just wanna draw my little drawings and make enough money off of them to live a humble life and chat to the people who like my little drawings sometimes. Why is that so harddddddddd

Illustration I did of a roaring and/or yawning T. rex with a judgmental rex onlooker in the background. (done for Beasts of the Mesozoic T. rex figure)

T. rex was formally named 120 years ago today. Hell yeah king happy birthday!

Disney adults canceling subscriptions, vacations, etc really are making the Harry Potter adults that threw a fit over a $60 video game look like huge bitches

a two panel comic. the first panel shows a hurt Eddie Munson being carried by Steve Harrington. Eddie is saying "how far do you think it goes?". the second panel is a reverse shot of the two of them gazing out at the ruinous expanse of the upside down. Steve says "let's not find out."

what’s happening, idk

Seeing the Bill Watterson originals full of pencil lines of stuff that didn’t work, scuffs the eraser didn’t pick up, white out galore and more was something I needed to see to remind myself that nothing is perfect the first go and tweaks need to be made and you’re allowed to try again.

boy im sick of all the stuff happening

I like this a lot too... Make it bc art is also the process, not just an end result. Draw it bc it makes a friend laugh or bc it makes you feel better. You might like it now and hate it later, or hate it now and like it later. You won't know - unless you make it!

man rolling rock up hill how it started how its going

relevant life lesson from comics on this one

most definitely! especially knights and regency stuff!!

"…and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel.”

Controversial opinion, but I think trans people should feel safe here on bluesky, and nazis shouldn't.

“the recent event is justification for what we are already doing”

You are under no obligation to mourn the death of people who would’ve celebrated yours.

the constant reiteration from liberals etc that we should extend empathy to people who not only wish us dead but who've devoted their lives to violently creating and enforcing the devastating conditions for our premature deaths remains putrid as hell.

Being trans is great, but it would nicer during a time when my mere existence is not a form of protest

there is a certain irony around tech bros who believe that the work of writers is largely worthless, while also claiming at the same time that they desperately need to use that written work - without compensating human authors - so they can make a bazillion dollars off LLM products.

"but we can't support trans rights, it's unpopular!"

just a reminder that US approval for marriage between black and white people at the start of the civil rights movement was 4%, reaching a whopping 20% by the end of the movement

it's 95% now

you don't wait for popularity for a rights movement

M365 Copilot fails to up productivity in UK government trial : AI tech shows promise writing emails or summarizing meetings. Don't bother with anything more complex

Two trials will be repeated endlessly despite always producing the same results:

1) Does UBI work? (yes)
2) Does AI improve productivity? (no)

A drawing of a ghost that is embroidering pink flowers on itself. A pumpkin-shaped pin cushion and two spools of thread next to it.

self-love, self-transformation 🧵

you have to be PRO- "sexual gratification" in media. you have to be pro "sexual gratification" PERIOD. they are using it as a wedge issue RIGHT NOW.

it is WEIRDER and a bigger violation of autonomy and consent that people try to police your own gratification, than whatever stuff you get off to.

An illustration of a cute, chubby pigeon sitting like a load on top of two stacked pumpkins, with another tiny pumpkin on its head. The color palette is very autumnal and warm. Above the pigeon it reads “pure whimsy.”

Pure whimsy 🧡
