It's amazing how many business practice books basically say something along the lines of "remember the human element, don't rely exclusively on numbers, leave room for people to be people" Because it suggests that current trends to data-fy everyone and everything are active choices to be awful.

One more week to put your name forward! We’d appreciate it so much if you shared this post, sent to your comics friends or anyone who may be interested! Thank you

I've got a YouTube documentary channel that ostensibly focuses on cryptids in Canada on in the background as I work, and it's fascinating because it's going into a lot about the First Nations throughout Canada. Like, talking about their culture, history, anthropology. It's pretty badass.

Have a hefty whack of unexpected medical and physio bills so I'm running a flash discount in the shop for the week - you can use the code BANJAXED at checkout on www.ciaraioch.com/artprints to get 10% off all orders. If you've had your eye on a print, please take it off, you're making it soggy.

It's #makeaterriblecomicday2025 apparently! Everything's terrible. Also, I really wanted the letterers to really suffer when reading this one.

Mamdani's primary victory should be a wake up call to establishment traditionally left parties all over. Instead, Labour in the UK will continue to offer brushed aluminium morality voids like Wes Streeting while losing to a party of pasty racists who can't be bothered turning up for work.

The world would be much more dull without the colours provided by one @darjeeliarts.bsky.social! She’s cool, she’s calm, she’s Canadian, and she’s helping with colours on GETS IT TOGETHER!

I've started practicing my Presentation Skills workshop out loud, and you know what? I think it's gonna be a real good workshop. I think people are going to get a lot out of it.

🥀Demo now Live🥀 Gravehearts Demo is up on itch! This is the first look at my first Visual Novel, I so hope you guys enjoy this first little peak at Chapter One: Obelisk kroovv.itch.io/gravehearts

I do think it's a bit bullshitty that my colleagues and I started in a company with a pleasant, helpful, considerate work culture, and thanks to the transplantation of Silicon Valley folks after going public, we are now subject to a hostile, cold, arrogant work culture.

Found yer wee pal, @thisismyglasgow.bsky.social !

Silly little sheep! #MakeATerribleComicDay2025 (definitely not inspired by the fact that I can't let cereal go uneaten)

Please share this far and wide. People are still posting with incorrect labels. If you’re using graphic as a label - many of us are not seeing your content, as we have it blocked.

it's #makeaterriblecomicday2025!

any artistic job offer mentioning the use of "AI assisted ideation" or similar bullshit can go straight to hell

TODAY!!!???!!!!! At about 6PM BST 👀✨️

Three years today since the fall of Roe v. Wade and every terrible thing we thought would happen has happened. Women dying of sepsis. Women forced to give birth to babies with no chance of survival after birth, and then watch them suffer and die.

the people in the porn on your phone are people. we are people that are being legally targeted, being made more unsafe and unstable, censored by legislators that swear they do what they do to protect and free us all. we are people who are more likely to already be a part of otherwise targeted groups

This is fascinating. I get a very male-skewed audience for Loki - a younger crowd than the books mentioned - and I've been asked why people think that is. One thought I have is because it lets "naughty" boys see themselves as something more than a problem. An opportunity perhaps. A problemtunity.

We are delighted to open for Community Table applications! Everyone will be given space for up to five copies of five different titles. We won't take a percentage of your sales - instead participation costs £10. Deadline is midnight on the 4th of July. Apply here: forms.gle/CCBLAJwJ36or...

Hi! I could really use some sales on my shop to get me to the end of the month and I’m also pretty desperate to clear out some old stock with my deadname on it. If you’re in a position to do so, I’d really appreciate the help! ;w; hesitantdoodle.bigcartel.com

I've definitely improved my mental health from the start of the year - I'm no longer suffering from too many physical stress symptoms, and I can find a bit of my joy again. But I'm still incredibly tired. And I feel like I'm in a kind of "alert mode" most days at work.

Fleecing Tax Payers through large defense contracts is the only way these AI companies can possibly make enough money to support their world burning tech that no one wants.

After years of being asked about it, my online store is finally open!!! Come get your autistic catgirl t-shirts, lanyards, stickers, comics, prints, charms and totes!! I also ship internationally! Please check it out and share this around 😽💛 www.etsy.com/uk/shop/Schn...

Friends, you are not personally responsible for ~gestures at world~. However, you can choose to be a helper. Start small and local. Show up to those council meetings. Start a community garden. Volunteer. Listen. Amplify voices. Give hugs and warm meals. And together we can do something.

Just updated my store! A few new prints and full book catalogue up now. Worldwide shipping on most items! (UK only items have a note) ko-fi.com/naniiebim/shop

🔧 We are doing some maintenance on our website and are aware there have been issues with it over the last few days. We are working hard to fix the problem and should have it back to normal soon. Thanks for bearing with us! 🔧

We can’t say generative AI sucks and then attack real humans trying to promote what they’ve made.
