pinterest is a platform for collecting and saving OTHER people's images. just awesome to think about how many people have saved my art on their pinterest boards and i have no say or consent on how that will be used to train ai even if i *did* have an account and disabled these settings :)

just updated this list, maybe about 50 new channels--you can grab the new json or copy paste the new text into the channel id block segment of the blocktube plugin!

I strongly suggest that if you dislike this feature, you write a quick ticket saying so. Annoy the fuck out of them. ⚔️ support.discord.com/hc/en-us/req...

It's easy to say 'just go indie' in response to problems in the animation industry, but it's not so easy in practice. In hopes we can ultimately improve the terrain for artists + indie productions alike, we shared some of our experience with the @jellybox.bsky.social team~ youtu.be/-sSa4VEFx6o?...

Who’s been putting off filling in that government consultation on AI then? Because you took one look and realised that fucking thing was designed SPECIFICALLY to put you off? Don’t worry, there are three online guides to help you: The Association of Illustrators theaoi.com/news/the-cop...

There's going to be news about a woman illegally detained and being forcely removed from a Coeur d'Alene Idaho Town Hall meeting taking place at the high school by men that would not identify themselves wearing plain clothes because she opposed the republican viewpoints. youtube.com/shorts/hhJdH...

I understand it is a dark read for many, but I wanted to say, Maus 1 and 2 are available for free through the Internet Archive. archive.org/details/maus...

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

Get off Twitter. I left with 100k+ followers and I've seen basically no impact losing that "audience"

The "large scale social deception" contract Musk is conspiracizing about was: * first awarded under Trump * paid to Reuters' data division, not the newsroom * for researching *defenses* against deception * not revealed by "DOGE investigations" and was a public record, visible online for many years

Section 504 prohibits discrimination against disabled people & guarantees equal access to anything (services, programs, buildings, etc.) that receives federal funding. It paved the way for the ADA. The sit-in that got it passed is an extraordinary moment in US history. I am incandescent with rage.

Read it slowly and understand it. 😳🥺 Repost 👇🏾 👇🏾

Absolutely correct. Call your House representatives. Write them actual letters. Show up at their local offices. Flood the zone. Demand they draw the line while they still can.

URGENT 🚨 Our UK copyright is under threat. The MOST important thing we can do is encourage every author & artist we know to respond to the consultation itself - this post breaks it down so it's easy to do! Complete before 25th Feb! againstthebox.substack.com/p/time-to-ha... #kidlit #kidlituk

I've seen rumblings of comic creators wondering where they'd put their adult comics, either because they need a host, a mirror, or can't afford their own website yet- If that's you, then comicfury.com might be your jam! it's free, and has decent layouts to start with that you can customize!

back in stock! orders go out tomorrow!

Posting this here now that the orange man has erasing scientific literature. What people, perhaps without any strong opinions on this, never understand is the barriers that academics have to overcome to publish papers on gender and trans identities. He can burn the journals, but we will keep PDFs 😘

Keep your cats indoors! We have two who like to escape and I’m gonna be honest we got pretty lax about it because they just hang around in the yard and chase bugs, but we have been making a very conscious effort to keep them inside. Cats can be infected and it’s like a 70% fatality rate.

I want to make a starter pack of artists that take commissions! I’m sure starter packs like this already exist but I want to make my own. If you are an artist who regularly takes commission work, and you’d like to be apart of it, just comment and lemme know 🫶

I might have a job opening up for a Black artist (painter) who would be comfortable making a piece on short notice. The payment is 12k. If you, or someone you know, might be a good fit, please reply with your portfolio!

Callout for artists - we are putting together a new underground printing of this "manual" to give out and sell for cheap for the resistance. I am looking for any artists that would like to add (donate) illustrations or diagrams to give it a zine feel. Reach out. #simplesab

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it. Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice. But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word. They aren’t firing for a reason.

I mean, literally, the answer to this is "I am federally prohibited from telling you anything about my students without a subpoena or judicial warrant; if you have a subpoena or judicial warrant, please submit it to [Legal Officer/Office] to ensure it is in compliance with all relevant federal laws"

The PDF of chapter 6 of Salisbury House, "Peanuts", is now available on GlobalComix. Should be some nice high res images you don't get on the other platforms. I'm working on doing better resolution images for the previous entries. globalcomix.com/c/salisbury-...

This $10 game bundle is a great deal to support the trans community

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references. Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.

Mexico has launched an app for Mexican nationals in the U.S. (legally or no) that has an emergency button you can tap to alert the closest consulate if something happens or you feel in danger from immigration. Please share.

It was never about "criminals" at all. It's about scooping up as many brown people as possible, meeting arrest quotas, and getting video of them being herded on to planes. Just take a step back and imagine it in black and white but a railroad car instead of a C-17.

Trump has deployed active military to help round up migrants and put them into detention camps. The military forced us out of our homes at gunpoint in 1942 because we were considered possibly disloyal Americans. They sent us to internment camps for four years. History is repeating. Pay attention.

With ICE starting their raids soon, here are some links to information on what to do/ rights about being confronted by ICE for anyone at risk. (I AM NOT A LAWYER AND CANNOT GIVE LEGAL ADVICE BUT THIS MAY HELP)

As promised here's an intro post! I am an actor and comic artist in the Midwest. You can find me in podcasts, games, and animations. I actually work on several comics, but I will only post behinds the scenes work from my own out of respect for anyone I work for. I do character design, too!
