One of the best things I ever did on BlueSky was follow a whole bunch of artists, including in mediums like comics which I don’t know at all. Because look at this! This is so cool!

I’ve been marching for LGBTQ+ rights since Pride was considered a protest. And I’ll continue to march under this administration as a recommitment to the fight for equality today. No matter who you are or who you love, you have a home here in Illinois.

Whenever I need a quick hit pick me up I bring up this video and for the like six people who haven't seen it you'll really enjoy it. And it doesn't even matter if you know the thing by heart it's funny every time.

HEY it's been a while so hi hello! I'm Alex! I'm Canadian and I draw pictures for a living! Thanks for following me! I'm currently working on a short graphic novel about the absolutely bonkers funeral we held for my grandpa so I haven't been posting much art lately but this 🧵 is what it looks like!

CORMAC MCCARTHY: He never sleeps. He says that he will never die. He dances in light and in shadow and he is a great favorite. He never sleeps, the judge. He is dancing, dancing. He says that he will never die. JOE ROGAN: sure. I've met guys like that

Here's a map of the Roman road network in the time of Hadrian, ~125 CE. There were 29 military highways, 372 great roads joining 113 provinces. In total, it was more than 400,000 km of roads (250,000 miles). For comparison, the US interstate highway system is ~48,000 miles of road.
