I end undergrad talks with the annoying 'comics advice' of: you have to sleep, you have to eat, you have to move your body in whatever way works for you, you have to engage with the world outside of your desk and outside of comics entirely. sleep is the foundation!! you can't compromise on that!!

This is the most remarkable story Ray Bradbury ever shared with me. He told it to me late one night, sitting in his den of antiquities and mementos. Take five minutes to read this. It’s pure magic. #Writing #Living #Creativity #RayBradbury #BookSky

The thing about AI as an artist is, we were here first. We’ve outlived other tech trends that were supposed to radically reform the landscape (NFTs, etc), and one day we will live to fight against another life altering attempt to kneecap artists It will always be, and we will always fight back

I’ve been so busy that I haven’t made much for socials recently, but I’m in one of my annual suddenly-really-wants-to-play-the-Witcher-3 phases (I am also considering reading the books when I get a chance 👀). I drew this mostly during my meals lmao #thewitcher #geralt #witcher3 #art

Your ancestors never walked the Surface. The Sun holds no place in your history. Severed you from your colony, you cannot return to your kind, yet living among the Folk will never make you one of them. Silkren will be a playable non-Folk option in Wyrd and Ruin zine! Preorder it at fomoria.com

If you have a Gmail account, you need to read this. Google's AI now scans your emails and attachments, bank statements, tax files, medical letters, all of it. It turned on by default, and there's a class-action lawsuit over how. Here are 5 moves to shut it off, the switch is hidden in two places:

I don’t usually do autobiographical work, but this story just wouldn’t leave me alone until it was told. So yuriposting will have to wait for the next story…

"My little butterfly wings are getting kinda tired." Dolly knew the power of leading with love. She is, and will always be, an inspiration and an example. She's been a guiding light in my life and so many others. An angel on earth went home. We'll always love you, Dolly.

my wife has a friend who sent Dolly Parton a painting she made & a letter explaining how much Dolly's music meant to her while she was transitioning. Dolly responded to it personally & paid for her top surgery. Sounds like an urban legend but it's real. I think we're going to more stories like this.

Here's the official announcement of Parton's passing from her reps, along with the request that in lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at www.imaginationlibrary.com

Dolly Parton, among a thousand other amazing things she did in her life, gifted over 330 million books to kids through her Imagination Library program. Her passing is a tremendous loss to the world, but you can support the program today to keep it going imaginationlibrary.com

My two cats are such good helpers who must absolutely be involved in every way with making comics (one road blocking my laptop the other very helpfully under my sweater like she’s in Alien)
