There is a thickening line between art and content.

Corporations do not want to produce art, they want to produce content. To them, the former has always just been an unfortunate byproduct of the latter.

Trans men’s insight on this is so fucking valuable in understanding the nuances of what’s going on with men. We need to be amplifying them, and hopefully cis men can realize what is actually the source of their loneliness.

An illustration, made many moons ago by Kai Benson, of my best friend Jaclyn and me. Eating as much wasabi as we could bear.

it's important this go as viral as the original story for morale purposes if nothing else. despite the image they project these people are NOT unaccountable. consequences CAN be forced. focused anger and outrage MATTERS.

van hollen immediately elevated himself to Presidential contender and all it took was being willing to fly to El Salvador, elected Democrats be advised if one of you works up the guts to throw a punch who knows where you'll go

I have replaced the dud pen for my drawing tablet, gotten a new desk, and am not worried about money for the first time in years, so I’m officially out of excuses to not work on OtL.

one unrelated thing the devil may cry 2025 anime showed me is I actually have absolutely zero problem with nostalgia pandering when it's treated as a legit period piece celebration of a bygone era and not as a cynical marketing ploy of childhood appropriation

All of this. The intent isn't to end work, the intent is to prevent death for not having it

Far more people are 3 missed paychecks away from utter collapse than anyone wants to admit

Being able to make choices & know ones worth is so Important, a ubi would strengthen bargaining power
"But with a UBI nobody would work!"

Name one person who doesn't like luxury.

Name one person who doesn't get bullied for being poor lol.

People always and will always prefer more money to less, but a UBI enables them to work when the conditions/wages are good.

It gives them negotiating power 💪

It is utterly disgusting how oblivious and ignorant people are, not only to how horrid ai generation is but in conjunction with the ignorance of the messages of studio ghibli work and Miyazakis own feelings

Zelda Williams (the daughter of the great Robin Williams) sure had a lot to say about the “Studio Ghibli style” AI images that have been trending recently.

I think those people should read these posts and really think about what they’re doing.

If you see this, post an anime character whose name starts with your first initial and pass it on ✨

you can destroy your life in a few years by getting way too into jogging or weed or a person. just depends on who you are. the key is letting yourself get hooked on the right things and avoiding the wrong ones

Remember what I said about how Twitter is useless for self-promotion even if you have a big following there?

There's data showing BlueSky, even with smaller user numbers, generates way more referrals than Twitter purely because it doesn't suppress links.

Stop saying you need Twitter for promotion.
Bluesky makes it easier for publishers to track referrals

My pen pressure reset last month when I had a driver issue with my tablet, and I didn’t notice. All month my art has looked like GARBAGE and I thought I had just forgotten how to draw lol.

WEBCOMIC QUESTION: folks who have serialized comics online for free, how did you get people to read them? Esp with social media becoming increasingly useless and diffuse. Particularly curious re: folks who got there w/o a healthy existing readership. Thank you!
