All of the companies that make the software I use are increasing their prices, to account for an "investment" in AI.
I'm sat here imagining how my clients would feel if I added 30% to each invoice, because I "really got into gambling".

I haven't tabled at a con in a while and I haven't drawn anything that wasn't a page in a graphic novel in a while and now I got three months to figure out how to do both those things.
But at least it's three months and not three weeks!

Disappointed to see this. 160 union workers are fighting for a fair contract at Individualized Shirts, a US factory that makes high-end men's button-ups. The managers there have rejected the union's request for fair wages and health insurance. The union is asking for support 🧵

I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

"I'm being paid the same now, when I make 500 shirts a day, as I did when I made 50 shirts a day. Where the fuck is the money going?"
The popular idea of luddites is entirely due to generations of capitalists trying their damnedest to obscure what is a very simple issue.

Shortly after I came out as trans, @katta.bsky.social introduced me to the concept of Epistemic Exploitation, and it has haunted me ever since.
"Epistemic exploitation occurs when privileged persons compel marginalized persons to educate them about the nature of their oppression."

When people ask how our forebears managed to get by without all these modern pills and injections and doctor visits my fave response is "They died, Becky! Most of them just DIED!"
Currently dorking out over this graph about child mortality with my brother. Just mind boggling to take in.

The average American income is below the poverty line in almost every major city. If you want people to shop, you need to pay them enough money that they can spend some of it. There is an actual limit to how many hours a day a person can work.
If you want people to spend more, pay them more.

I am so tired of reading "this isn't what this country is" and "the fore fathers would be disgusted" when them mother fuckers owned people and perpetuated genocide...
Free yourselves from the shackles of caring what those evil fucks would want so we can try and actually do good.

Me trying to tell artists it's okay if you keep repeating certain characters, themes, visuals, anything since you clearly need to say it some more 🖤

I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

The effortless shift in discourse from people insisting that anything that isn't a white statue of a dead roman dude isn't art like 3 years ago to demanding that they be treated as visionary artists for typing" x-men mystique big boobs she's my girlfriend" into a prompt window

We’re wrapping up our celebration of Native American Heritage Month with this fun work of art by Joshua M. Herron. He used Clip Studio Paint to create “Sunglasses,” which he calls “a piece about feeling good with who you are and what you have.” Joshua Cenyaotl Herron #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth

There is no such thing as unskilled labor.
As you’re preparing for your Thanksgiving meal, remember the skilled work it took to get that food to your grocery store.
Tell us your favorite Thanksgiving dish, and we can share some of what we know about the work behind the ingredients.

On this day, Indigenous people and allies confront the settler-colonial narratives of “Thanksgiving,” observing it instead as a National Day of Mourning.
