#IndieAnimationDay Hey! For real! If just a FRACTION of my followers watched a half hour of content on my cartoon channel, we could monetize and I could start properly compensating my dedicated apprentices. We have a TON of stuff to choose from, so please give us a try! 👇

People want stories. We are drawn to the story in art. We pause and spend time with a painting until we find the joy in each brushstroke. In that moment we see the artist and storyteller like a wizard behind the curtain. That is absent in gen ai. Go be that storyteller. Go be human and create.

Fact check: True.

Want to know what I've been up to? Much of it, I describe here in this episode of the podcast, Chasing the Nightmare! www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

There's a lot of 'it's not just about trans people' or 'it's not just about Black people' and, my friends, it shouldn't need to be more before you care.

If you're in Illinois, you're on Section 8, and your landlord tries to evict you because of the government funding freeze, email me at [email protected]. My cases are pay-whatever-you-can.

The administration took down the reproductive rights website that women need access to. So The Skimm bought a url and brought the content back. Pass this on! Go to reproductiverightsdotgov.com

Multiple cities reporting that ICE raids have begun. I'm an immigrant & human rights lawyer. I wrote this on how to handle ICE, the actions each of us can take to protect our immigrant neighbors, & debunking anti-immigrant hate. No paywall. Please share widely. www.qasimrashid.com/p/trumps-mas...

alright you wanna know how to support trans people? hire them. It's REALLY hard already for visibly trans people to get jobs, even before this shit. Support places that have trans people working front of house, and make sure owners know that's part of why you're there.

reminder

Listen, I'm not your dad but as someone who smoked for a decade and watched his father slowly die of COPD, after losing Lynch today I wanted to say the best time to quit was yesterday and the second best time to quit is today.

I hear what a lot of you on Bsky are saying here. But it's basically my life job to annoy the hell out of people like Musk and Zuckerberg. I stay there not because I support them, but because they'd much rather have me gone. And I must be a thorn in their side until they find me.

If you see this on your timeline, I’d be incredibly grateful if you could share it and consider donating! ko-fi.com/itslayla

Big love to everyone who’s had our back through these tough times. Y’all straight-up saved lives! 🥹 We’re sooo close to hitting our short-term goal—just need 3 more people to drop $50 each! If you can’t pitch in, a share goes just as hard! Let’s make it happen! 🙏 ko-fi.com/itslayla/goa...

Marvel Rivals fills the void that's been created by the disappointment that has been Blizzard and the MCU. I'm immediately maining Squirrel Girl, Rocket, and Star-Lord.

I should say that a lot of my prior activity comes from very old internet etiquette. A lot of that has changed in the last few years, and it's actually made me feel more comfortable posting my stuff. It's just been a matter of *where*.

I will have more art to post here very soon, I promise! I have honestly never had a consistently moving output of things, and while I know Bluesky doesn't work like The Algorithm, figuring out how to make this work is a new skill.

I do love the Wicked movie, but one thing I really wish they kept out of the trailers and promo material is the end riff to Defying Gravity. Half the magic of that song on revisits is finding out what that actress's riff is after this amazing, delicious showstopper.

I have already made my new years resolution for 2025 Listen to more TMBG Listen to less transphobia.

Again!! I'm reaching out to share my family’s condition. We’ve been displaced & witnessed horrific bombings during this endless war. I’m asking for help to save their sweet souls & bring back their smiles. Any bit of help -big or small- would mean the world to us! ko-fi.com/itslayla/goa...

If I only had a Time machine to go back and say to myself at 11 years old that yes, the Wicked movie would be very good.

Hello Friends! #MrBluesky

Been a while since I did anything with stick figures.

So we're back home now. Flight was good :)

"i hope this site doesn't end up like the last one :(" Hope has nothing to do with it--DO YOUR PART! Twitter & Truth Social are dying. Their users are used to farming outrage for engagement. Don't give them any! 🚫 Don't argue with them! 🚫 Don't quote them! ✅ #BlockAndMoveOn

With this is mind, remember: If you see transphobic, racist, Alt-Right posts. Do not interact, do not share (even to say you’re against those comments) Do not draw attention to them or give them the attention they crave. Block the account, report them where appropriate. Do NOT make this Twitter!

Episode 0401 is live! I sat down with Nancy Faust to talk about her groundbreaking career as the organist for the Chicago White Sox for 41 years. The liner notes have some amazing images and stories, too, so click the link to follow along as you listen! shoelesspodcast.com/season-four/01

- Bluesky crashing due to the huge influx - Onion buying out Infowars Okay, I think this week has given us a couple bones finally.

Good news: I'm doing some more art and it will be up here pretty soon. Bad news: It's kind of delayed because I've been almost nonstop working budgets for next year. Good news: The budgets are for a house and cool trip. Stay tuned.

i'm sorry for being annoying abt this but,,, yeah money 😭 any help (even just a share!) is appreciated!!
