🥧 (a Thanksgiving comic)
Five panel comic of Batgirl and Supergirl enjoying some pie on a rooftop and sharing what they are thankful for. Despite Babs assumption that Kara is simply thankful for her incredible god-like powers, Kara is really just thankful for Batgirl's friendship. Sometimes simply feeling loved and normal is the best gift of all. Also, pie. Pie is also a pretty great gift.

In self-interest but also general interest, folks: Black Friday is coming up, and small publishers/independent creators will always be a better choice than megacorps.

When the sales drop, please remember that!

I don’t understand why the floor always has to be lava. Just for once I wish it could be something more comfortable and far less threatening, like mashed potatoes or a plethora of colourfully-themed rubber ducks.

Oh no I just saw a picture of the art supply suitcase go by so it must be time for my yearly psa: don't buy that.

I've been given it many times in my life and it was usable once: in 1989.

"But I don't know what to get my artist friends/talented cousins for the holidays!"

I will help.

Literally all of society hates this abominable scam homunculus and the weird little death cult bubble of vampiric losers who spewed it forth upon the world. Take a break from bragging about how gullible you are and give yourself a swirlie and stuff yourself in a locker and sort yourself out.

Illustration: Chaka the gourd leshy waving hello! She's very happy and very green, and wears a red poncho/scarf combo. The flowers on her head are very pretty and pink illustration: This black cat has on a purpley blue, pointed hat, covered with golden stars. The rest of its outfit uses the same colors, and it holds a large tome in its little paws, as well as a magic wand with a star on the end. It looks pensive, and lost in thought. Illustration: This little opossum has many wares for sale! Her open cloak show many embroidered patches of items just waiting to be popped into reality. Her nose is pink, and so is her tail. She's grinning hugely and ready for an adventure.

it is absolutely the tech companies fault that people now assume they’re doing something evil and sneaky even when they actually aren’t (regarding the latest Google kerfuffle)

like, no kidding that people have zero willingness to cut big tech the benefit of the doubt anymore

I think there is something beautiful about the fact that humans went from cave-painting to teaching rocks to think with lightning, and now we are using using rhymes and poems to beat AI and circles of salt to trap autonomous creations; the old ways have returned.

This is the version of the post that everyone needs to see. And all you readers/authors despairing of non-comprehension, etc, we are gaining new fans of fantasy and SF. It might not be the fantasy or SF you personally read, but they're reading and buying where they weren't before.

It hits different reading this whole thread.
Alt text: Image showing four text messages about fae in romantasy books: Message 1: “Romantasy question: are the fae open source? I had only known them from SJM books, but didn't expect to see them in Quicksilver!” Message 2: “Didn't have getting dragged in the comments on my bingo card today. Thank you to those that were kind. I'm new to romantasy and fantasy in general. Until I had read SJM, I hadn't encountered books with fae described like that. I didn't make the connection between Celtic folklore, fairies, elves, or sprites with being fae since their characteristics and mannerisms are drastically different. Tink is tiny. Puck has goat legs. The closest I encountered were elves in LOTR, but those were not faeries.” Message 3: “Forgive me for not knowing fae were inspired by Celtic folklore. I'm not Irish. I was never told these stories. I was just surprised two separate book series shared very similar interpretations of fae. I've enjoyed the genre of romantasy bc it's really gotten me back into reading. That's the goal, right? To continue to learn and escape into stories and discuss theories and celebrate the beauty of imagination? At least, that's what I'm gonna focus on.” Message 4: “Clarifying my original point: I never said SJM invented fae. My post was only comparing how Quicksilver and SJM depict fae characters (their traits, dynamics, etc.) and whether THIS interpretation of fae is common in romantasy books, not the origins of the mythology. I also didn't grow up connecting fairies, elves, and fae as one mythology. They were always separate in my mind, so I'm still learning how interconnected they are across folklore. Thanks to those who pointed that out respectfully.”

Well put by @drrachelbarr.bsky.social
cinema_nasties 1d Al defenders are so embarrassing j.paulmonter 2h All you are saying is that you want to gatekeep creativity. That's not good. drachelbarr & 20h • •• Neuroscientist here... creativity is a process. A process. A FUCKING PROCESS. Not an output. Nobody is gatekeeping the process - Al simply invites you to skip to the end, to the output. Which, as mentioned, is not creativity. Nobody cares if the output is aesthetically pleasing, because the process, the act itself, the limitation of a single human mind and the resulting creations that capture that one single inimitable human experience... is what makes a creation worth paying attention

You can love someone you love even if you don't love yourself🏳️‍⚧️
But if you love yourself, you can love both yourself and the person you love. Your love becomes twofold.
So take care of yourself.
Your soul is beautiful.
