I love comics professionally. [You know me from some pubs, probably. I represent no one but me online.] π³οΈβππ‘οΈFeral Queer. I like the cars that go zoom. π LA Zip, Chicago Heart - Forever a Lake Effect Kid. They/She. Icon by Liana Kangas!
Oh gosh lots of new folks. Hi, Iβm Holly! I work in comics, play games of varying kinds, and I read a lot. I am a tall gremlin, a moderately socially acceptable swamp witch, a hoodie made sentient.
Also, I make art with bones and stuff. Here are some old pieces in varying stages! I should do more.
I wonder if its because we need some sort of safe outlet to feel all the terrible, life threatening daily terrors we are forced to live with? Maybe feel some kind if catharsis when the untenable evils and billionares are defeated or recieve any kind of comeuppance? Nah thats dumb its obviously satan
βWickerβ stars Alexander SkarsgΓ₯rd as a man made entirely of wicker, complete with a rock-hard wicker dick. But what about splinters? Bacteria? Degradation? Would it be advisable, from a sexual-health perspective, to mount a basket dick? We asked a gynecologist: vulture.visitlink.me/DNQwX5
Hey comic community, Debbie who runs @excaliburcomicspdx.bsky.social is going through a hard time right now and she and her family could use some support. If you feel like giving or sharing that would be appreciated.
Also, as I have recommended multiple times:
Go vote with someone vulnerable to the voter fraud conspiracy theories. Friends with a trans person who will be under suspicion bc of their ID or a brown person who speaks mostly Spanish?
Don't make them go to the polls alone.
If you haven't already,
1. Make a plan to vote,
2. Study your ballot this weekend,
3. Help your family and friends make plans too (e.g. can you take them to the polls/vote centers or drop off their ballots?)
4. Ask them to pass it forward.
New β I wrote about Vivek Ramaswamyβs weaponization of Amy Actonβs childhood sexual abuse and how itβs only the latest symptom of a Republican party flush with rape apologists, led by an adjudicated rapist:
Maxis fucking prints money. They do it cheap and they crank out packs and updates on the regular, and Sims fans devour them. They are the proverbial cash cow.
So why lay those people off when you're trying to cover an $18 billion buyout debt?
This is why leveraged buyouts should be illegal.
This seems like a great way to encourage your employees to spend hours on IT security forums looking for the most insidious malware available so they can intentionally load it onto your corporate network as a matter of moral justice.
this is fucking appalling. i already knew james dolan (who owns the knicks and madison square garden) was a douche but this is next-level. www.nytimes.com/athletic/771...
Time for some big potatoes.

Also for those who live in Burbank: the βDonβt LA my Burbankβ campaign is backed by corporate real estate and MAGA money. Do NOT vote for David Donahue, Jackie Waltman or Samantha Wick.
since California ballots are now out:
prop 40 is the billionaire tax, and you should vote yes to stick it to them
but both props 41 and 42 are designed to retroactively cancel the billionaire tax because theyβre afraid they canβt beat it at the ballot box
yes on 40, no on 41 and 42
After much consideration and over a year of struggling to figure out a path forward, I've decided to launch a GoFundMe to ask for help raising the money I need to pay for hearing aids!
I would really appreciate if you could take the time to read & share. Absolutely anything helps! Thank you! πβ¨π
HALLO I will be helping Marie at LBX this weekend, come give them money for their work.
You also may be lucky enough to witness me drinking my first MalΓΆrt in years! Thatβll be a right laugh.

Talarico: "We just found out that [Elon Musk] is almost single-handedly bankrolling this effort to install Ken Paxton in the U.S. Senate and defeat this movement...Elon Musk wants our land. He wants our water. He wants his very own personal United States senator. He is trying to buy Texas."
If any of you are looking for an alternative to Duolingo since they went all in on AI, I found an awesome free alternative called Lingo Legend that is a language learning game with a farm/pet sim side and a rogue like builder side. Itβs made by a small team that are anti-AI which is so refreshing
My dear friend and her family in Gaza have lost everything; their home, livelihood, and security. This is the case for many thousands of Gazans. β¨β¨We're their voice and means of survival.
Please give to her if you can. No amount is too small. And help others. π

Escape from New York, the glider scene.
It's '81, a year before Tron revolutionised CG and Carpenter has 1/3 of Tron's budget...so how did he pull off an absurdly sophisticated wireframe simulation?!
It's actually a cardboard city painted matte black, lined with reflective tape and lit with UV.
We all know the "Viggo broke his toe" story but what's another movie fact you're personally compelled to bring up every time without prompting?
For me, it's the fact that Robin Tunney is wearing a wig in The Craft because of having just shaved her head to save her job filming Empire Records.
Polymarket is taking bets on whether the seven Cornell students accused of raping a student will receive a felony sex crime charge.
Among the athletes endorsing Polymarket:
LeBron James, Derek Jeter, Eli Manning, Sue Bird, Reggie Bush and Richard Sherman. frontofficesports.com/article/poly...
this is seriously so incredible. all of the leftists put aside everything, joined hands, fried the AI fuckhead old mayor, and now every landlord in the city is crying into their hands in anguish and their tears are delicious
The third largest city in Canada just rejected the cryptocurrency clown and his billionaire pro cop council and swung hard left.
You're looking at a mix of communists, socialists, soc dems, progressives, and a liberal or two here

So obsessed with the book we've been crafting. I'm constantly in awe of the skill on display on every page of By Appointment Only. Panel unrelated but you want to know what's happening, I promise.
@wellsthomp.bsky.social@natalienardozza.bsky.social@marinletters.bsky.social@pianta.bsky.social
I'm working on thumb notes (not that @natalienardozza.bsky.social needs much noting, the work is impeccable, so it's mostly just me and @wellsthomp.bsky.social screeching like pterodactyls about how good it is), and it's making my heart so full. I'm going to miss these babes.
Actual photos of @wellsthomp.bsky.social and I going over art and colors and letters as they come in. Not sure how he turned into a cat but it's not my job to ask questions.
Welcome to #TransTuesday!
There is NO ethical consumption of Harry Potter
Not the books, movies, or tv show. Not licensed games or merch. Not fanfic. Not even pirated.
EVERY bit keeps the franchise alive and enables JKR's transphobia
If you truly care about trans people, you need to let it die
