WHAT DID THEY DO TO US #itysl

Every artist I know is really struggling right now. Financially, emotionally, their confidence, in general. If you like an artist's work, support them any way you can. Buying their stuff or subscribing to their Patreon is great, but words of encouragement are also incredibly helpful.

Now with a wing design!

Our campaign is now live! Please check it out and consider supporting or sharing with folks. Trans stories and voices are so needed right now, and you can help make that happen! #LongAwayShort seedandspark.com/fund/long-away

Live every day like it’s your last. Key a cop car. Eat five hot dogs. Call your boss a taint. Who cares anymore?

SEVEN days left to grab the first two issues of SHITKICKERS and only $192 left to hit our goal!!!! Here’s our rippin’ trailer again, accompanied by original music by ME because that’s how Soup Dad Comics rolls. Check us out on @wearezoop.bsky.social zoop.gg/c/espositosc...

So can we all agree that if people start losing their homes to a recession we are all gonna band together and buy it back at the auction for a penny while threatening any rich person who tries to come buy it up? Like, this has been done before. We can do it again.

So are you thinking of submitting your comic to the MAKE MORE COMICS grant offered by @100percentcomics.bsky.social? I think you should & I’d like to help. So let me share a to-do list with you - it’s what helped me win this grant in 2022 #KidsGN📚💬 100comics996889703.wordpress.com/make-more-co...

I am so close to making 100 book sales this month! Mostly made up of my new release, Crisis of Infinite Boyfriends, but some good sales of A Con Affair too! It’s the best I’ve had in a while! Hopefully I can keep it up #BookSky #mmromance #readersofbluesky

Ég er væntanlega ekki á móti að nota gervigreind í vísindalegar framfarir, en þar er forritið notað af VÍSINDAMÖNNUM sem vita hvað þau eru að gera. Finnst óþolandi að vilja að nota þetta alfarið í listagerð og öðru sem slekkur á gagnrýna hugsun.

I made a comic about beauty as a capital in my first year of studying social sciences. It's 11 pages (+sources) this this will be a thread. Nowadays my view on my looks isn't as negative but I'm still insecure about it. 🧵1/3

FUN FACT: The person on the left talks first. Literally every time. Spin the camera around if you have to. Let the characters walk around, I do not care how you do it. THE PERSON ON THE LEFT TALKS FIRST.

It's understandable that folks have missed that substack is nazi-friendly. BUT I gotta say, I've been hearing these warnings for years from trans and black twitter, as well as anti-fascist tech writers, etc, so if you haven't heard, you have now, but also maybe expand who you follow, esp in tech.

Here for the first time online is Rats! a comic biography of Guglielmo Marconi that Aarón Cruz and I made for @ironcircuscomics.bsky.social's Failure to Launch anthology. It shows that the "idea thief who pretended to be a genius inventor" to "world-ruining nazi" pipeline is nothing new. (1/3)

Found out that TWENTY emails is considered a lot to politicians on an issue. TWENTY. As in, they call that getting slammed. So next time you see a request to email your rep, or call, keep that in mind. TWENTY is a lot.

It is official, Snoopy of Finland risos are now available in my BigCartel shop! Limited stock, get em while you can. :0) <3 sixgillsart.bigcartel.com/product/snoo...

I really really need you guys to make a conscious rejection of generative AI tools part of your ongoing political resistance. Don't use ChatGPT. Turn off Gemini. Don't read the AI results forced upon you at the top of Google search. Don't use AI art generators or support anyone who does. Please.

@marthompson.bsky.social happy birthday!

hellooooo raising money for wildfire relief and dropped a calendar for 2025!!! ( better late than never!) closing the store in one week! dont sleep <3 >> babsdraws.com <<

Sorry if it's cringe or virtue signaling or whatever but unqualified and unconditional love and support to every trans person on earth. You will win and I will help you.

Netflix \yet again tried to BLOCK my video - this time for Squid Game footage. It's back u, but this block was done manually after the video went live for 5 hours. It again showcases Netflix's silencing of trans critics who critique them - like their abusive conditions on Squid Game: The Challenge.

Now more than ever.

Sometimes I take my foreign friends to the pools when they visit. I always tell them: "There are two kinds of people in the showers with you. Other tourists, who are too worried about their own bodies to look at you, and locals who DO NOT GIVE A SHIT."

So... we're now at roughly a third of the followers we had at our peak on TwitterX. This link explains our very different approach to community-led comics coverage: www.brokenfrontier.com/introducing-... Help us build our audience back up by sharing this post. Thank you!

We already have fun plans for the Worst Man sequel, so you all better buy a copy. We want more time with these clowns!

Are there any Europe-based #comicbook creators around? My background in comics is very America-based and I'd like to expand my horizons and network more in that direction.

In my self-defense classes I focus on how most people are socially conditioned to follow the norms of a civilized, polite society — and there is a MENTAL SHIFT required to use violence to defend from violence. I'm reminded of this while watching our elected officials dithering and delaying. 1/

Got mine !!! @wearezoop.bsky.social @letsgorodrigo.bsky.social @mattdwilson.net @ericafails.bsky.social

There's a petition to ban conversion practices (targeting LGBTQIA+ people) in the European Union. We need one million signatures, and we currently have 180,000+. If you live in Europe (even if you don't), spread the word ! 🌈🔥✊ eci.ec.europa.eu/043/public/#...

My new book comes out next week, the next in my mm romance series, Between the Panels A series of queer romances set in and around the world of comic books, from industry insiders to aspiring creators to cosplayers and retailers The series is still just starting out, so perfect time to jump in

DOG SITTER DETECTIVE 🐶🔍 READERS – remember to take a pic of the latest book (or your kindle!) with your dog, and post it here with the #dogsitterdetective hashtag (like this lovely one from Fiona Veitch Smith)! We'll collect the best photos and post a fun video of them soon 👍

Kingdome Come: Deliverance 2 is getting good reviews, but I'm old enough to remember that the director was a prominent Gamergater, which everyone seems to have forgotten about. Oh well.
