Why comics creators must fight the proposed censorship of H.R. 7661
For sure and I've used backerkit before but its just not the same lol. I'm still thinking on it. I need to chat to a few homies next week.
the real pain in the hole is I've already done all the back end work for ks. We've shot videos, promo is ready to go. It links up nicely with some other upcoming campaigns gah!!!
Iโm nit sure I can, in good conscience, fund ruffian meat on kickstarter given the latest shithousery with Union busting and firings but Iโm also not sure where else has the reach and backer trust Kickstarter hasโฆ another strangle hold on the creator
RPG Party consisting of a hot wolf guy terrorist with guns and explosives (Cromwell), a depressed 50 year old lancer woman searching for love (Selene), a male temple dancer (prostitute) on the run after having stolen a precious artifact from the Sun God (Jibrael), and a talking cat magician that can read your palm (Caterina). They're posing in a cool affected way and below them you can read a breakdown of their respective starting abilities.

The Same ai that being fooled by paintings on the ground of faux military sites
This is the thing right? Much to ponder

This is another Europe-wide policy that no-one ever talks about.
It's not enough to deport people - they have to be traumatised, devalued and humiliated in the process, and everyone who plays any part in that process is a piece of shit that should be ostracised by decent people everywhere.
Oh hey, I had no idea Urasawa had a little drawing tips series on his yt channel! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kbmg...
imagine even thinking about using ai when a living breathing master of the craft is putting his knowledge on youtube for free

Webcomic creators - ComicFury needs our help! ComicFury is basically the last of the old-school webcomic hosting sites and the mod Kyo needs more financial support if he's going to continue. If you host on ComicFury, I encourage you to support Kyo at patreon.com/comicfury or ko-fi.com/comicfury! ๐๐

Don't miss the news that an Israeli missile destroyed an Iranian girls' primary school, murdering at least 25 girls between 7 and 12 years old. At this point it might just be muscle memory for the Israeli military.

Four members of @kickstarterunited.org who played an active role in the November 2025 labor strike have been laid off, with one member forced out of the bargaining unit. The union has filed unfair labor practice charges against Kickstarter, alleging anti-union retaliation.

So sad to share that legendary colorist Tatjana Wood has passed away at the age of 99. Her pioneering painterly touch graced scores of DC & Vertigo series. She was truly one of a kind and a special friend. May her memory be a blessing.

Imperialism leaves deep scars across cultures, peoples, countries, and the land itself wherever it reaches. In this zine, HiJiN(X) examines the history and present of both American and Japanese imperialism and the tools that powerful nations use to subjugate a populace they wish to rule over.
Trans people want to have sex and make art and talk about sports and do all the shit everyone likes, and instead we have to think about Nazi freaks all day. This sucks eggs.
Two shots of a latex (?) dress by Angus Tsui. The model begins walking down the catwalk in a skin coloured dress with her arms crossed over her stomach. When she lifts her arms, it looks like sheโs flayed herself alive, the โskinโ of the dress peeling back to reveal bloody muscle and subcutaneous tissue.
Incredible. Perfect. Cenobite chic.
