As a queer author, thank you for buying our gay books in response to the challenges and bans and court decisions, but I implore you to go stand up for your public libraries and schools—they’re our greatest advocates, and they’re kind of the main target of this whole effort.
please send in thanks and love notes for libraries doing Pride!! 💚💚 it shows that the community wants it and can push for more funding for it !! (and it makes us librarians happy)
Pride Month so far: Jonathan Joss is murdered in a disgusting hate crime and the Navy intentionally announces they are changing the name of the USNS HARVEY MILK.
America... now more than ever... David Lynch's words ring loudly. "Fix your hearts or die." This cannot be our normal.
Ahh so happy to be part of the big day! Congrats!!! 🥹💖💖💖
K-pop? Action stories? Sony Pictures Animation? Sorry if this becomes my entire personality once it's out

Fuck it. Trans folks need MATERIAL SUPPORT.
@distributeaid.org is launching an HRT Harm Reduction Toolkit that provides 1 year of medical supplies needed to take injection-based HRT. We were planning to go live in January, but I'm not waiting.
Fund the kits here: distributeaid.org/hrt-harm-red...
artists support each other when systems will not. there's little safety net. it is resilience. artists are not your competitors. artists are your peers, mentors, and the ones who will defend the ability to create sustainably.
to those who struggle to continue drawing,
you are an artist.
The comment period for this ends TOMORROW. Please submit a comment. This can help keep covid vaccines available to us.
A VERY important point -- this bill is not final, not at all. It will now go to the Senate. If the Senate makes changes to the bill (they likely will), it will go back to the House for another vote.
The House passed it last night with ONE VOTE.
We can stop this. We have to.
LOL at anyone in comics thinking they have a ReSpOnSiBiLiTy to call out "bad comics," my good bitches: we are in comics, where probably 85% of us need a second or third job to get by, where many still have to be their own PR even when they get a deal; not one fuck is needed, not one should be given.
A graphic announcing "RSS & You" for the Nib and Ink Fest 2025 on May 17th, 2025 at 1:00 PM EST on Zoom featuring panelist Jey Pawlik. The panel description reads, "A rundown on what RSS is, how webcomics can utilize it, and how readers can organize what they're reading. This event is for webcomic creators and readers alike." An anthropomorphic inkwell and an anthropomorphic dip pen both holding comic pages decorate the graphic.

I mean this so honestly, but you absolutely should be making the most "Mediocre Shit" and be proud of that
Low brow, high brow?! Whatever! Art can and should exist purely for the sake of creativity. real freedom and diversity within art is all about CREATING outside of perceived "artistic" value
I have worked hard to hone my craft over many years, but what has made me a better artist more than anything else is learning from and befriending others. No one pushes me to be better more then my art friends do. Also friends are amazing. Get your miserable (& racist) competition out of here.
Don't treat your peers in the comics world as competition. Your greatest asset besides your creativity is your community.
Simply drawn comic in black and white with blue-gray spot color. Panel 1: A rabbit looks at a book. Rabbit: this comic is very popular, but i don't like it! Panel 2: The rabbit flips through the book. Rabbit: that's cool! i wonder what about it is resonating with people SFX: flip Panel 3: White text on black background spans the width of the page. Caption: why don't i like it? Caption: what would i do differently? Caption: what can i learn from this? Panel 4: Borderless panel. Sequential drawings of the rabbit reading the book. Rabbit 1: flip Rabbit 2: hm! Rabbit 3: huh Rabbit 4, looking up from the book: comics are neat!
Two panel comic drawn simply with black lines and blue-gray spot color. Panel 1: Rabbit looks at a book. Rabbit: this comic is very popular, but i don't like it! Panel 2: The rabbit closes the book with a peaceful smile. Rabbit: well, good for them!

The best thing you can have as a creative when shit hits the fan is people who check in and genuinely care, and you will never have that if you don't genuinely care about others.
So much toxicity in creative fields just goes back to people who couldn't play nice with others going off the rails.
Happy birthday Annette Fire Emblem 💖🍰🎶
