I think the biggest damage to the art community was the obsolescence of gallery sites (y!, deviantart, etc) and the rise of scroll-by social media, like twitter and even tumblr. Art is not ''content'', you shouldnt need to post art every day (or every month!) to be relevant. This mindset sucks.
Don't let them kill free speech, call your reps ahead of Thursday when bills including KOSA will be discussed again
Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist
Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

Another blog post of the month, reflecting on the Resident Evil series rather briefly. Currently suffering in RE2 Remake and OG RE4 before I start tackling RE9 in the future. π
I know this feels pointless but everyone has to call their congressional reps and say they oppose war with Iran and they oppose Trump illegally starting one without congressional approval β both

Posting about this again because ComicFury still needs our support! Here's the latest thread from Kyo comicfury.com/forum/viewth...
Slide 1: a blue graphic with an outline of the United States. Red and white text reads: Call. National Book Banning Bill Proposed in US House of Reps. Tell your rep: Vote no on H.R. 7661.
Slide 2: a blue and red graphic with white text that reads: House Republicans have introduced a bill to effectively grant the federal government decision-making power over what books make it into the library. Misleadingly called the "Stop the Sexualization of Children Act," H.R. 7661 is a national-level book banning bill that would ban any book that, according to the bill's language, "(ii) involves gender dysphoria or transgenderism." This means any book about a trans person or the trans experience would be banned from every public school in the United States.
Slide 3: a blue and red graphic with white text that reads: The bill has been referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce. If you are represented by one of the members of this committee listed below, they need to hear from you. Rep. Kevin Kiley, California (CA-3) (Chair) - entering vulnerable election cycle Rep. Mary E. Miller, Illinois (Vice Chair) Rep. Glenn "GT" Thompson, Pennsylvania Rep. Burgess Owens, Utah Rep. Michael A. Rulli, Ohio Rep. James C. Moylan, Guam - entering vulnerable election cycle Rep. Ryan Mackenzie, Pennsylvania - entering vulnerable election cycle Rep. Mark Harris, North Carolina Rep. Mark B. Messmer, Indiana Rep. Suzanne Bonamici, Oregon, Ranking Member Rep. Jahana Hayes, Connecticut Rep. Summer L. Lee, Pennsylvania Rep. John W. Mannion, New York Rep. Frederica S. Wilson, Florida Rep. Alma S. Adams, North Carolina Rep. Adelita Grijalva, Arizona
Slide 4: a blue graphic with red and white text that reads: If you are represented by the congresspeople listed above: Call your reps. Tell them they must oppose this bill at every turn. It is egregiously unconstitutional, targets ideas based on ideological disapproval, and misleads parents and the public about the content of children's books. It does nothing to protect kids and will badly harm education. It will tie school material funding into knots and hurt anyone who is a library materials vendor, regardless of content. If you are a bookseller, librarian, or author, tell them your livelihood depends on the next generation of readers.
You can read the full text of the bill here: www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c... Thank you to @authorsabb.bsky.social for these slides and the alt text, which you can also share on their insta: www.instagram.com/authorsagain...

This is still incredibly important and still happening to people even if less people are talking about it now.
My works are still heavily impacted as someone who makes games that cover a lot of sensitive topics even if they aren't R18. (My itch acct and game are still deindexed.)
A posting about the list of events I'll be going to for the upcoming months.
Things that I'll be selling. Text: More events will be announced later, along with newer zines and stuff for the comic future. See you soon!
A list of appearances I'll be doing for the upcoming months. A lot to do but looking forward to it! See you there!
Make friends. Real ones.
Maybe theyβll be your collaborators and maybe they wonβt. Maybe your careers will grow together, maybe they wonβt. That part doesnβt matter as much as real honest connection.
Develop real friendships in the space with people you can trust.

Thanks again for my friends and peers supporting my work to this point, and those who bought my work throughout the years. I'm so blessed to be with good company, despite the justified anger I've been feeling for the last few years.

I am fed up with π§. You don't have to have an immigrant family to know how messed up things been in the US. For that, starting now, 25% of the money I earn, from in person shows and online, will go towards IRRF. I live in relative safety, but it will not be forever.

HELL YEAH!!
Look at what we did TOGETHER! Comic-con has quietly changed their language and will NOT allow GenAi imagery in their art show!
And this happened because you all wrote letters, and shared your concerns! Speaking up works EVERY time!
So congrats friends! We did this together!!!

A lot of peopleβs problems with injustice and cruelty is that they donβt like being aware of it and would do anything to go back to pretending that nothing is wrong
I'm back working on OIYD! but I lost some muscle memory working on its pages.
Someday... I do want to rehaul after working on RED SNARE for several months but that's...future me's problem lol.
