I've never wanted something to flop harder than this fucking misbegotten television show for transphobic 42-year-olds

Moss ball bug
It was itching my brain, I had to!

A green fluffball crawling out of the bushes. I'd love to see other artists take on this critter 👀🌿

This art features 100 bees of various colors and shapes.
These bees are designed in a cartoonish style, based on real species. The common name or species is written below the animals.
Some bees are moving leaves, scraping plant hair, or sticking out their tongues. Some male bees have hairy faces and unusually shaped legs. There are also baby bees that have just hatched from their petal nests.  Cute and colorful atmosphere. There are over 20,000 species of bees, so I only depicted a very small fraction of them!

And (as you say) do my best to focus on the next thing and put my effort towards keeping what audience I do have

"because my first book got really good coverage and I did that all myself" but of course it's more complicated than that - for starters, there were a lot more outlets back then!!! (2013)

It's still pretty discouraging, which is why I try not to think about it too much...

Yeah that's a good thing to remember (re: publicists) and it seems obvious now that you point it out - in the back of my head I was kind of like "if my book was actually any good, people would have reviewed it and it would have made it onto some best of 2025 lists"

I couldn't convince anyone to review Last Band On Earth apart from a couple very small blogs

Not gonna lie, this really bums me out, because I think it's really good and it deserved to get more coverage

Learning to draw really just takes lots of time and practice. But when you say that a bunch of people are like "if that was true, then I could do it!" And then you're like "yes" and then they're like "see? that's why you're lying!!" and then they continue to not practice because they don't like to

always so funny to me when people are like “how am I supposed to explain Gay to my kids?” my kid asks me way harder shit all the time. “why did they build the road this way? why are some people bad?” I don’t know. please ask me about Gay

I was thinking how when Scott Adams was about to go and rightwingers were saying “you have no idea what impact it’s going to have when Scott Adams dies, he was loved by millions” and then he just died and nothing happened. These ghouls just disappear when they stop talking

it's not new or surprising to anyone with a functioning brain, but the dissonance of watching the entire internet get dismantled in the name of "children's safety" while every day everyone is hearing about how no one in the rich elite pedophile cabal suffers any consequences is a bit maddening

All but two of the sites (I think) that reviewed my first book have now shuttered, it's brutal
