We’re busily chugging away with our 2nd Anniversary campaign with a little over two weeks left to go (but already well over 100% funded!)

If you want to get in on the ground floor of some brand new comics and/or catch up on our library of titles here is the best chance! 🐐🪽🔥

‼️🚨KICKSTARTER WORKERS ARE ON STRIKE🚨‼️

As of 8am this morning, the workers of Kickstarter United/OPEIU Local 153 are on strike.

WE ARE NOT ASKING FOR A BOYCOTT! Creators and allies, please continue using and supporting the platform.

Kickstarter United is on strike!
We are not asking for a boycott! Creators & Allies: Please continue to support & use the platform
swipe for ways to show your solidarity

Why We're Striking
A codified 4-day work week.
We simply want to protect the way we've been working for over 3.5 years. The 4dww has proven benefits, such as increased productivity and improved employee satisfaction. It's part of what makes Kickstarter a special, innovative place to work.
Fair pay for our lowest-paid workers.
We're fighting for livable minimum salaries for roles that are undervalued by the market but crucial to keeping Kickstarter running. We believe none of our workers should struggle to make ends meet.

Well hey there, #portfolioday! Great timing since I'm looking for work!

I do horror mostly, but I can knock just about anything out of the park. I've done war stories, superhero stories, Sci-fi, Comedy, you get it.

I'm still terrible at picking the stuff for this though.

Inspiring to see the president of one of the country’s biggest comic publishers, owned by one of the world’s largest entertainment conglomerates, strike the same tone re: AI that your humble indie goat publisher has been harping on since day one 😘

GOATS FLYING PRESS @NYCC Booth #1939 @goatsflyingpress.com · Dec 16

We tap the sign so often these days that we’d really be more efficient if we made some kind of automated artificial sign-tapping contraption…but that would rob us of the joy of tapping the sign and OH HEY WAITAMINUTE

Got my crowdfunding rewards for Lake Yellowwood Slaughter, "the official comic book 'adaptation' of a 1983 slasher movie that never existed." And it's *gorgeous.*

Nice work, @alejandrobot.com, @gavinguidry.bsky.social, @suspiriavilchez.bsky.social, and @goatsflyingpress.com!

Dr Artyom Trakhanov - THERE COMES FOR YOU A DAY is out now! @vor-bokor.bsky.social · 11d

“I Hate My Life, I Hate My Friends, I Hate Myself”. This is the sales pitch for 99% of AI, and it all comes from the people who genuinely hate and despise this reality where no one thinks they’re “cool” for being on computer all day, so now the computer must show everyone how they can do a kickflip

Ash Higgins @ashhiggins.bsky.social · 11d

This. Is. Why. I. Paint.

"They're trying to convince people they can't do the things they've been doing easily for years - to write emails, to write a presentation. Your daughter wants you to make up a bedtime story about puppies - to write that for you." We will get to the point, she says with a grim laugh, "that you will essentially become just a skin bag of organs and bones, nothing else. You won't know anything and you will be told repeatedly that you can't do it, which is the opposite of what life has to offer. Capitulating all kinds of decisions like where to go on vacation, what to wear today, who to date, what to eat.
People are already doing this. You won't have to process grief, because you'll have uploaded photos and voice messages from your mother who just died, and then she can talk to you via Al video call every day. One of the ways it's going to destroy humans, long before there's a nuclear disaster, is going to be the emotional hollowing-out of people."
