I get so irritated when I see big accounts on here sharing someone else’s work without giving them credit

So? WTF does that have to do with anything. Tell me, why is this persons alleged sexuality relevant to the topic at hand

“That guy doesn’t have a deep voice — my gaydar is going ballistic” isn’t something “staunch” allies say

Spider-Man was the first web-comic.

This is pervasive in Columbus, too. Drivers will pass me in the school zone and honk, like I'm the asshole

Those scorpion textures are so crunchy! I love it

Small complaint, but it's inaccurate to say the Gammon House "was one of Ohio’s only stops on the Underground Railroad." The network was extensive in Ohio - there were something like 20 stops in Columbus alone. Here's a map of the routes through Ohio:

“Anthracite Deer,” graphite and charcoal powder on paper. A drawing of a deer in an Appalachian forest landscape with a smokestack where its neck and head should be. The smokestack is belching out clouds of thick, black smoke.

I got a job creating coal-powered wildlife for the regime.

to add insult to injury, the creator of this graph didn't put reddit on the top row even though it has the greatest number of respondents who somewhat + strongly disapprove and the fewest who approve, and now I'm annoyed that the graph doesn't flow evenly from top to bottom

If you are run out of town, we will be able to rescue you by following your footprints. Because Columbus doesn't shovel its sidewalks.

Indie bookstores are making a shocking, triumphant comeback Since 2020, the number of independent bookstores in the U.S. grew by 70%.

The good news is that independent booksellers are making a comeback:

Have a feeling everyone visiting Columbus for the games will instead remember seeing all the cars that Columbus drivers crashed into buildings

Oh no, I’m going that too, I wonder if we are canceling out each other’s efforts

Hilarious that this image has a credit line because 1.) it’s utter garbage, who would want to claim it, and 2.) ai images can’t be copyrighted

Thank you, Blue!! I refuse to get bifocals. Mainly because I don't want to pay for them when the other option is to simply take off my glasses

Top row, pic of me wearing glasses & squinting at a blurry sign. Bottom row, pic of me removing my glasses and now the sign, which reads “You’re 46 today (and you need bifocals)” is no longer blurry

It was summarizing my work emails and getting basic facts wrong. They weren’t even long emails — maybe only 3 or 4 sentences

And because nothing motivates me more than spite, I spent a few hours this weekend deleting all those unread emails that were dumped into my inbox. Felt satisfying to do the thing google bet I would not do

I turned off smart features, which means the promotions & social inboxes disappeared and the 72,000 unread messages in them were dumped into my main inbox. I know google linked those features to the ai garbage so people wouldn’t want to turn it off. But I hated the ai overview so much.

I missed seeing the rehearsals. So much of what I like about the show is how it offers a peek backstage so we can see the process of putting a drag show together. We didn’t get the usual pre-runway werkroom banter among the queens either

I did not know that! Oh no, I'm about to go down a rabbit hole, I fear

A graphite and colored pencil drawing on paper of a yellow and green seahorse perched on the couch from the painting, "Portrait of Madame Récamier," bt Jacques-Louis David.

A drawing of a woodpecker peeking out from a hole in a tree, which is emerging from the torso of a woman wearing an elaborately-decorated dress and ruff from the Renaissance.

A graphite drawing of a woman from a Neoclassical painting, wearing a wig and draped in a shawl, sitting beside a rural landscape showing a river valley. Above the river floats a Mothman-like spirit with glowing eyes.

A drawing of Krampus, dragging chains shackled to his wrists and carrying a satchel of twigs on his back, entering the foyer of a fancy house. He looks down the hallway at the viewer, letting his long tongue hang from his open mouth.

It's another #portfolioday ? Hi, I'm Brian. I have 2 portfolios, in fact -- a digital one and a traditional one. Here's a sampling of my traditional work.

A digital drawing of comic book characters Orick, a Sasquatch; Leona, a mountain lion; and Argyle, an extraterrestrial, rowing across a pond at dusk toward an island with an old church on it.

A black and white digital drawing of comic characters Ursula, a human person; Orick, a Sasquatch; Argyle, an extraterrestrial; and Leona, a mountain lion, walking down a set of underground stairs in a cave-like environment. Ursula leads the group with a flashlight.

A digital painting of Orick, a Sasquatch wearing an orange scarf and carrying a hot drink of some kind, walking between some trees and saying "boo" to classic movie monsters Nosferatu, the Creature from the Black Lagoon, and a werewolf, who cower in fear and run away.

A digital illustration showing a Sasquatch reading a book in his cave with his friends, a mountain lion asleep next to the fireplace, and an extraterrestrial laying on a rug watching The X-Files on an iPad. The cave is illuminated by the fire in the fireplace, candles, lamps and glowing crystals. Above the fireplace is a framed portrait of a Sasquatch ancestor. In the background is a bookshelf and a staircase.

Hi, I'm Brian, and here's my digital portfolio for #portfolioday, which comprises mostly of my webcomic "Orick & Argyle," about a Sasquatch and an extraterrestrial who team up to commit acts of civil disobedience in defense of nature.

I know exactly which episode this one is from!

four dumb drawings with labels of the moon with areas blacked out. 1. 'The Black Belt' there's a black band going horizontally across the white moon 2. 'Reverse Donut' has a just a white spot in the middle 3. 'Formal' Moon looks like it has a bow tie 4. 'Jimmy Cool' Moon looks like it has sunglasses on

working on some new ideas for moon phases
