family wants to go take to a walk along the waterfront, where the trail is smooth and paved, and I decide I'm gonna take my roller skates. my friends, I'm real glad I put them on before we left because it's been too long and I can't even stand in them right now

I love that in Les Mis, Jean Valjean finds out that Cosette loves Marius and instead of trying to keep them apart (like many fictional fathers) he makes sure to keep this guy alive and deliver him to her. “My baby girl loves this one? My baby girl gets this one.”

my bestea had a baby a month ago and I *finally* got to hold her today and despite having my own 9 year old, I'm not going to get over how perfect my nibbling is. also, I am pleased to report that I am still baby-catnip and that lil miss relaxed into me like a memory foam mattress for 90 minutes

I hate cotton tree season. the fluffy little wisps always make a beeline to my face and I'm so allergic to the trees when they bloom

Not quite sure if we're happy with the black on white patches as the text isn't as clean as we wanted but still think the design is really fun. 😎 #possum #patch #blockprint #skateboarding #art

A head's up for those of you who use analog art supplies in the US. One of the two largest distributors went out of business and indie art stores are suspected to suffer pretty significantly. Please support your local indie art shops if possible. Newsletter from St. Louis Art Supply

hey cis allies, if you can get to DC it's torches and pitchforks time. You know, for emphasis

now to outline the suckers and rework the spot blacks and then I can get this on the block

16 hours deep into this illustration, most of it spent fighting where the blacks are going to be when I carve, and right at the end I realize i forgot the damned squid's suckers

gotta love getting a text and a phone call about fraudulent activity on my card from my bank (which has always said they'll never call or text), and then call my bank to ask if it actually was them, and it was? what happened to "we will not call or text about this"? did the scammers win?

If you've been here for any amount of time you'd know that we're very much against ChatGPT and other types of LLM here at Outsider Comics. Moral and environmental reasons aside: it's just bad. Before the full extend of its moral and environmental impacts were known, I actually tried OpenAI... 🧵

quote posting this in addition to reposting bc it's important. you don't have to select a category. but *please please please* leave a comment telling them that doing this is unacceptable

GUYS. The comment period for this ends in THREE DAYS. PLEASE if you have even a little bit of time, submit a comment here: www.regulations.gov/commenton/FD... Let them know EVERYONE should be able to get COVID vaccines. They BACK DOWN when WE PUSH BACK. www.statnews.com/2025/05/20/f...

nothing like casually mentioning my childhood chore schedule to my shrink and seeing the look of abject horror spread across his face and having to come to terms with the fact that I am, perhaps, *too* well adjusted

We're still looking for vendors for our art market on 6/14! We're gonna be doing this as a part of a big neighborhood Pride event so it's gonna be real good. :3

at first you think "ah the dog is passively having fun" and then you realize the dog knows how to steer the skateboard and THEN you learn the dog knows how to PROPEL the skateboard

I called congressman Tonko about this bill today and said "this bill's aim is to label LGBTQ+ people as obscene" and the lady on the other end said "that is ABSOLUTELY what it is. The congressman will definitely oppose it." I simply love to call Paul Tonko lol

This is so fucking good

If you don't want to be compared to the Gestapo, one neat trick is to not engage in a campaign of terror around the country wherein you kidnap people off the streets to slave dungeons in accommodation of an autocratic fascist and his nationalist movement's desire for racial purity.

Curating a timeline to mostly follow artists is the best way to do social media. Art scrolling in lieu of doom scrolling is infinitely cooler and better. Have a great weekend.

4 types of characters I write: 1. small feral girl with a heart of gold 2. anxious idiot 3. reluctant adult forced into Responsible Parent role. is actually extremely good at it and will kill you for messing with their 'kids' 4. smaller feral girl without a heart of gold. is violently loyal anyways

I have a stove again, and I am pleased to announce that my coffee cake has survived 4 days in my fridge

Cryptid Heart shirt up in my shop finally! I'm pleased with this design, I crammed so many good pals in there! thegorgonist.etsy.com/listing/4305...

took a couple weeks off writing while I was stuck on a plot point, instead of researching a bunch of things I'd not end up needing. of course now that I've figured it out, this damn story is consuming me again.

Have you read The Little Coffee Shop of Terrors? It's a fun horromance about a girl who inherits a coffee shop with a murderous secret. 👀 I'm working on edits for the sequel, which is even sillier, and lands in shops in September. It stands alone, but you might spot some familiar faces! #booksky

new stove purchased. gets delivered Thursday. if it's not the check engine light, it's a gd appliance you can't live without

emailed the head of a show I love doing, asking if my table placement was a typo or if I applied for the wrong section and I got very very nice words back telling me it's not a typo and i'm all good, and now I'm going to have deal with my shrink telling me to accept that people like me and stuff.

happy mother's day to me, my oven element just failed

It’s Mermay yall! Here’s some fishy ladies I’ve painted so far this month! #mermay #mermaids #starwars #ahsoka #ponyo #drawingchallenge #artchallenge

been sitting on a mermay piece all week, but I have felt The Shitté and I'm not sure if it's allergies or the flu but it's starting to get *old*

A book I wrote up for preorder, you say? www.panmacmillan.com/authors/heat...

I love this ref with @nullentitystock.bsky.social so much! I was like, "I will go limp, just grab me and swim" Came out pretty much exactly as I hoped. Shout out to @beyondthefence.bsky.social for the underwater photography on this.

The screws will continue to tighten until we decide to no longer be cowards

“I asked ChatGPT,” well I asked your mom and she said you’ve always been a disappointment
