Immensely refreshing read
Text: What these pundits are nudging us to do, ever so politely, is accept that women, in the main, are accustomed to being a little degraded, a little underpaid and ignored and dampened in their ambitions, in ways that men are not and never will be. The "female-coded" person, to borrow Krugman's terminology, may feel overwhelmed by child-care costs, ashamed that she can't acquire a mortgage, or hollowed out by long hours as an I.C.U. nurse, but such feelings do not disturb the order of the universe,

Getting a lot of these sorts of comments lately, must be hard to navigate the world when you’re allergic to fun

I currently have 36 Nebula-exclusive videos, and you currently have a weekend coming up, and Nebula just implemented free 3-day trials, so... go nuts?

I feel like I say this every year but I really need people to hear it. Halloween is the best American holiday. Just kids outside welcomed into their world, marching around together, showing off their costumes to the elderly, parents meeting parents, neighbors catching up with neighbors.

Hot Water Balloon

Comic. [Giant balloon reminiscent of a hot air balloon but wavy and laying on the ground with “bloop” “bloop” sound effects. Two people are in a basket attached to one end of the balloon.] [caption] Hot water balloon rides turn out to be significantly less romantic than the air kind.

But now one of my advisors is saying I “can’t have more than 20 majors” and “need to graduate next year.” It’s outrageous!

The 12th annual international Gender Census 2025 is now open until at least 30th August 2025!

survey.gendercensus.com

It's for anyone whose gender (or lack thereof) isn't described by the M/F binary. It's short and easy, and results are useful in academia, business and self-advocacy.
Title: Gender Census 2025. Text: If you can't easily put yourself into just one of these two boxes, you are invited to take part. Illustration: Two boxes, each with photos of relevant dictionary pages.

The year is 2025. I right click on an AI-generated comment on my YouTube video to delete it, only the "Remove" button has been shifted down to make way for a button that generates video ideas based on the AI-generated comment.

From the 1968 book “The Runaway Robot” which I’ve been reading with Orin.
He kept staring at me. It was a little like the long talks Paul and I had on Ganymede, only Paul was not interested in the same things. “I think maybe man will outsmart himself someday,” Captain Becker said. “Someday he’ll build a robot so smart it will take over the universe and make men do the work.” “Men who did that wouldn’t be very wise.” “A lot of them aren’t, Rex. They’re smart and clever and inventive. But not many are wise.” “There’s a difference?” “A big difference.” The conversation was beginning to bore him. He yawned. “I wish you could play chess,” he said. “I can.”

Happy #pride everyone! Show yours as blatantly and colorfully as you can! #webcomics
Eve is admiring Tiff’s MN/Trans pride flag combo Eve: “Hey, you should get your other trans flag out, too.” Tiff: “That wouldn’t be too much? You also live here.” ~ Eve: “It’s pride, dude! It’s impossible to go overboard.” ~ Tiff: “Impossible?” Eve: “Impossible.” ~ (The room is now completely covered in rainbow patterns, dizzying anyone with eyes. Trans pride as well as other pride flags are on display) Tiff: “Still not too queer for you?” Eve: (pointing upwards) “I see a beige spot on the ceiling.”

Happy Pride month, all! Way back in 2018 I made these galaxy pride flags. They were shared many thousands of times, featured on Vice, and even made their way onto book covers and into video games.

Here are the original ones I created (in no particular order!) so Bluesky can have them too. 💙

Happy 12 Years of Oh Joy Sex Toy! Join our Birthday Pledge Drive for bonus comics and to keep the site afloat for the rest of the year because- real talk- we're looking at reducing our comic production/wrapping up around the end of the year.
www.patreon.com/OhJoySexToy
Today’s comic is drawn by Erika Moen in a traditional Oh Joy Sex Toy palette of background blues and character pinks. Throughout the pages, Erika is depicted in a red polka dot short dress covering some black leggings. She has a tattoo on her arms and a little bit of fluffy hair at the front of her head. In addition, her partner, Matthew, shows up wearing a pink T-shirt, brown pants, and bright red shoes. He has some stubble, glasses, and grey hair. Page 1 The page starts with Erika and Matthew's arms raised in celebration! Erika 'Happy 12th birthday Oh Joy Sex Toy!' Matthew 'Hot damn! You know what this means! Time again, to humbly ask you, our incredible readers, to help chip in and keep this comic site going with our yearly…' Title Pledge Drive! Erika holds a big handful of fabric out. She's 'oo-la-la!'-ing at it, while in front, Matthew is holding his laptop, which has comic pages flying out from within it, hitting him in the face. Erika 'The traditional gift for 12 years is silk or linen…' Matthew 'But we’re giving supporters bonus comics on our Patreon to celebrate!' A list of the bonus comics floats at the bottom of the panel. Ripley LaCross delves deep and explores what gardening means to them. Hien Pham talks from the heart about his time working at his local dog rescue shelter. And Erika Moen travels to San Francisco for an introspective magic wand journal comic. Matthew is now in a giant coffee cup, which has the price tag of $6.90 on it with a little 'nice’ alongside to reflect the comical number. Pouring out of this coffee cup is a fountain of coffee, leading to Erika who is flying in the tide in a big splash! Matthew 'For the cost of a fancy coffee, $6.90, you get to read these rad comics and help OJST survive the next year.' Erika Full transcript: https://www.ohjoysextoy.com/12-years-pledge-drive-2025 Matthew is shown launching cups of coffee that have dollars on them towards an artist on the other side of the panel, who is happily catching them while sitting at a drafting table. He says the word 'Kobe!' As he does so. Matthew 'OJST is sex positivity with heart, humor, and real human experiences brought to life by an ever-changing lineup of amazing artists who are paid a professional rate and retain sole ownership of their work.' We see Erika’s floating head, sweating and covered in shadow, with worried lines. Erika 'But, it’s 2025 and things have never been crazier, for all of us. Specifically here at OJST, we’ve been dealing with:' Depicted next are three panels side-by-side, each one containing a different troubling issue. The first contains an 18 with a big slash across it. Narration'Attacks on adult content in our highest courts from people who want to restrict work like ours or make or even make it illegal.' The second has a big gavel hammer about to hit. Narration 'Suppression, erasure, and bannings on social media. Our posts and accounts struggle to exist, even though we censor our work to follow the rules.' The third shows a wallet with a little butterfly, or moth, floating away from it. Narration 'Costs going up. On top of the endless culture war on sex, we’re all tightening our belts under an economic recession, and feeling that pinch.' The bottom of this page depicts a downward graph arrow with small dollar signs floating off of it, which are getting smaller and smaller the further it goes down. Narration 'Across the board, creators are understandably watching the Patreon supporters slowly disappear because they just can’t afford the extra art luxury. We know how difficult life is at the moment, but our margins were already razor-thin before this, and now we’re sweating! If we want to keep the site going another year, we will need more support.' Erika is holding a big pile of comics as she looks at Matthew, who is flipping a sign from open to closed with a worried look Erika 'Right now, we’ve got, like, 14 comics paid for and in the pipeline to be published, but if we can’t get our Patreon numbers up in the next handful of months…' Matthew 'We’re considering slowing down our hires, reducing the post schedule, and even – gulp – closing up shop at the end of the year. (Ugh, I hate even writing that, it gives me the heebie-jeebies.)' A large amount of narration floats around a Call-To-Action of images of a coffee cup, a big clickable button that says 'become a member', and a Patreon board of prices. Narration It’s tough to say, but we guesstimate that in order to really get OJST feeling healthy again, it needs about 200 sign-ups at its lowest tier on Patreon from folks who intend to stick around! If a membership sounds like too much, a one-time donation or e-book purchase ($5 to $25!) goes a long way too! Truly, every little helps! The world is crazy out there, so take care of yourselves first and foremost. But if you find yourself doing well, and want to see us continue what we’re doing here. Please consider it! OJST is only possible with your support.' A big, wide URL fills the next space www.patreon.com/OhJoySexToy Subtitle shop for e-books/donations The page and comic ends with an optimistic-looking Erika and Matthew holding up a huge sparkling 12 as they are surrounded by balloons! Erika 'We’re deeply grateful to everyone who helps us. You’re not just a reader, you’re a co-creator, and what we’ve accomplished with your help so far it’s worth celebrating.' Matthew 'Thank you for being a part of Oh Joy Sex Toy and helping us make 12 years of comics!. And with that the comic concludes! Drawn and written by Erika Moen and Matthew Nolan, it was then transcribed on 6/2/2025 by Matthew Nolan.
