I am seeing so much casual homophobia, transphobia, and xenophobia out in the wildly lately. It's infuriating and taking all my power not to knock ppl tf out.

rich dudes got freakier after butlers fell out of fashion, like say what you will about having domestic servants but clearly it was some sort of moderating force on old rich dudes having a fancy man follow you around saying shit like "oh dear sir, that wouldn't be very becoming"

when a poor person uses food stamps for a steak or homeless person spends $5 on a beer, it’s seen as proof that all poor people are so bad with money that they shouldn’t be given any, ever, for any reason. $77 billion out the window, and zuck’s legacy as a safe government contract bet is secure.
Mark Zuckerberg’s gamble on the "Metaverse" has lost his company more than $77 billion.

do not give labour a single vote under any circumstances
The Sun has been told Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood will on Monday propose confiscating jewellery, watches, necklaces from asylum seekers to meet asylum costs

This reflects the most controversial aspect of the Danish scheme - the Jewellery Law. The toughest Labour MPs thought this was OTT

if you're one person making a comic by yourself, don't treat yourself like you should function on the same level as comics that have multiple people working on them. your backgrounds can be squiggles and colors.

allow yourself room to be abstract with details and give yourself some grace

Yolo often stands with his little back toes crossed, which I find ridiculously cute!
You can see vultures don't have bulky feet and talons built for grasping/carrying like other raptors. Their more chicken-like feet are meant for bracing on food to pull at it with their powerful beaks, instead.

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

ANYWAY

Buy from small businesses
Buy from independent creators
Buy passion projects
Buy commissions
Buy art

In a society that's decided that money is final word, be aware of where yours goes and to support what

Yes it sucks, I don't like it either, but pretending it's not a thing does not help!

The latest (forced, of course) Windows update added a glitch which won't let me duplicate my screen onto my drawing tablet. In other words, I can't use my drawing tablet now.

I know - I really want to switch to Linux Mint. I'm just scared I'll mess it up.

"Protecting young people online is a shared responsibility."

No, it isn't. It's up to their parents to limit their time and activity, not you, not me, not the government.

This is about complying with laws that are designed to build censorship and limit access to online communities and support.
Protecting young people online is a shared responsibility. Here’s how Bluesky is approaching new age assurance laws with pragmatism and flexibility. bsky.social/about/blog/0...

Elon Musk is very explicitly altering the X algorithm to show people content that aligns with his far-right worldview.

If you're still posting there and think you can win hearts and minds or something, this is what you're up against. You're never going to win a rigged game.

I drew a draft of something I'm proud of, but it basically spoils a huge part of my comic.

So I can't post it.

Arrrgh.
