Ouch. And I’ll *shudder* eat Cincinnati chili if there’s any solidarity among mass media journalists against this outrage

Without downloading new pics, describe your gender.

As a cartoonist, felt. And I love this comic, regardless

Wow. An ad that’s a full-throated understanding and specific support of the LGBTQIA+ community. I’m impressed to the level of “Can this ad truly be coming from a Democrat?” level of impressed

And also hello to everyone else who (if not for autocorrect) would carry a dictionary with perhaps 3 pages for those words they will never never ever spell correctly My nemesis is “silhouette”

My head breaks with the state of the world. So this is the state of my art. Undecided about adding color. Ink & paper & various smudges from tree goop. After Max Ernst’s collage.

I don't want to condemn itch, (who, if the quoted numbers are right, has their library cut down to a QUARTER with this choice), but this is a giant blow for queer comics, including me, who re/built their pdf storefronts on itch because they were one of the few platforms left to sell nsfw work.

There are vanishingly few places for adults to sell works of art to adults online thanks to the christofascist policies of payment processors deciding what is allowed. Artists are watching their entire income and livelihoods disappear overnight. Please help us and sign.

Here's a screenshot of the email I sent to Visa about this. Collective action *can* make a difference in times like this, and sending a letter takes as little as a couple of minutes.

Perfect web host for comics, for those of us who don’t want to stick our hands back under the HTML hood bsky.app/profile/just...

Indulging my love of drawing musicians while they play. The darkness of the club made it nearly impossible for me to correct anything I drew. The music was tango, it was incredible. (Drawn with a gel pen, augmented the next day with ink and colored pencils)

this is getting next to no media attention and it’s horrifying. transphobes weren’t going to stop at bathrooms, no hormones for minors, they are going to keep pushing until it’s entirely illegal and no one is standing up for us other than trans people

Am I reposting this thread on ADHD on cooking so my ADHD self can find it again? Absolutely. Thank you for posting this, Nome. I was terrible at cooking for years for all the reasons you talk about

If you see this, post an image you saved because it made you laugh. (Alright, I’m cheating because I took this photo myself, but I desperately need a laugh.)

This is one part of why I wake up in full Flight or Fight mode every day that I look at the world. Because – with or without resistance – this “kill the deviants” onslaught is coming for all of us that it hasn’t gotten to yet. And by “us”, I mean whoever is declared an enemy tomorrow.

My in-progress art of today (after Max Ernst). Believe it or not, when finished this will be part of a late Mother’s Day gift!

Feral queer: new art from my sketchbook. I’m still rebuilding my habit of making art for myself and my misfit heart

Still making art, one or two small sketches at a time, rebuilding my art muscles

My ADHD mind loves the positivity and simplicity of making and moving on. It lessens my fear of cartooning. I am good at what I do. I’m afraid to start again. My mind will keep hurting me if I never make comics again

Make comics. Actually make them and FINISH them and MOVE ON and make another one and another. Start small. Make a one panel comic. Make a one page comic. Make a two or three page comic. Make a five page comic. Now you've really learned something! Keep going.

In FROM SLAVE CABINS TO THE WHITE HOUSE, I trace know-your-place aggression toward African Americans, but @projectmuse.bsky.social is making my essay that explains it via racism, sexism, heterosexism, tran antagonism, Islamophobia, and ableism FREE for Black History Month! tinyurl.com/4rsareth

Crawling back towards creating again. Raw ideas from my sketchbook

Alex is so right, and I appreciate his voice so much. Literally the reason I first came to this app

Just a reminder to folks that if you: A) live in the US B) don’t have health insurance, C) make less than 5x the Federal Poverty Limit ($63k for a household of 1, $108k for a household of 3), you can get PrEP and the medication will be at no cost to you through this program:
