Paleontological Research Institution

Anyone who has offered to help me financially, please instead help out PRI / Paleontological Research Institution. They run a wonderful small museum in Ithaca at risk of foreclosure. They offer special sensory-friendly days, fully-masked days, fossil IDs, and an online gift shop.

home by the rotting sea is deindexed & now in breach of the updated guidelines of itch, not because it's porn (though my porn comics are flagged also), but because the story explores sexual assault. you should care about porn as well, of course, but we intuitively get the flagrant wrongness of this

a promotional poster for SUPERPOSE. the comic will resume this summer.

The first panel is of Japanese honeysuckle with strange holes bored through them. The next panel is of Rafael screaming with water falling all around him. The next panel is the laser beam, also resembling an eye. The next panel is of a hand reaching through a tear in... something.

A page from SUPERPOSE. Kas and Royal are talking/arguing on the street outside of a restaurant.

kas, eyes narrowed: Do you know how my thesis panned out?

kas, yelling: The team, my job, the department, the school, EVERYONE found out I had wasted their time and resources, and mine! I LIED to my poor parents, so instead of a scolding from them, which will be ENTIRELY deserved, I heard it from the administration, some of whom went on to use my FAILURE to claim their own discovery!

Kas, off-screen: Thank God for America, giving me the opportunity to ruin myself for good! I could round it out, debase myself by selling state secrets to the government like you DISSIDENTS.
Royal: You think I WANT to be here.

Kas turns toward him, surprised.

Royal, off-screen: I'm just saying... what if you were the one to do it?

Royal: If you were given the tools, and, and the access, and the chance to change something so massive, or do something people will study, maybe for decades... barely anybody gets that chance.

A promotional graphic for SUPERPOSE: An ongoing queer sci-fi horror comic about physics.

    On the Atlantic coast, in a town called PORT CITYβ€” β€œa place out of time”

While a tourist destination boasting a popular beach and boardwalk, Port City is also home to ROMAN LABS, an aerospace-turned-tech company now floundering in the tech boom.
Rafael and Royal are each listless in their own lives as longtime locals with little mobility, whose orbits have only occasionally overlapped, until now. Turning a job at the lab into a last-ditch effort for a glimpse of a more equitable future brings Royal and Rafael together, and beaches Kas, a young physicist, on Port City’s shores.
    Together they seize the opportunity to alter their future and carve out a place in time for themselves, finally shaking the town and their lives from standstill.

Changing history begins with the machine.

a page from SUPERPOSE. 
First panel: Rafael's eyes are shut and the shadow of Kas' hand falls over his face, shielding him from the brilliant pink laser light. 
Second panel: a large illustration of their silhouettes in front of the pink beam shooting down behind them. 
Third panel: A close-up of Kas spur of the moment kissing Rafael, their hand now on his cheek, pulling him into it.

my friend Ahmad's account has again been deleted by bluesky because asking for help to feed his family, afford their medical needs, and rebuild their destroyed homeβ€” a home from which the IOF again threatens to displace themβ€” is considered spam. so i'm sharing his gfm again πŸ’”β€οΈβ€πŸ©Ή

Oscar-winning Palestinian director is attacked by Jewish settlers and detained, activists say Activists say Israeli settlers beat up one of the Palestinian co-directors of the Oscar-winning film β€œNo Other Land” in the occupied West Bank, and he was then detained by the Israeli military.

They fucking disappeared Hamdan Ballal. Sheer impunity, knowing the US isn't going to say shit.

"As he was being treated in an ambulance, soldiers detained him and a second Palestinian man, the [Center for Jewish Nonviolence] said. It said his whereabouts were now unknown."

First panel of a short digital comic. Two figures stand with their backs to the viewer, one (Sasha) dressed in a workman's coveralls, the other (Zora) dolled up in a mourning gown and veil. They watch three silhouetted figures standing over an open grave, the casket lowered and wreath placed as a light snow falls.

Sasha: "Me? Oh, I'm not part of the funeral."

Zora: "Not in that outfit you aren't."

Panel 2: Both figures are viewed from the front now. Zora turns to look up at Sasha next to him, a lit cigarette in hand. Sasha looks back at him, hands resting on the handle of his shovel.

Zora: "So you must just dig graves, then?"

Panel 4: Zora stares back exasperatedly, a trail of cigarette smoke highlighting his heavy sigh. Not funny. (end)
