I released chapter 4 of The Hayseed Knight back in February 1st 2023 and this scene only got more and more relevant with every month since #thehayseedknight

Something we don't talk about often enough in the creation of a "safe space", is that safe spaces aren't conflict free. They are conflict forward, with boundaries that by necessity bar entrance to people who will jeopardize that space. You can't sand the corners off the world, you carve space out.

Amazon worker: "They're being petty right now. But that's not going to stop us" ✊🏽🔥🔥🔥 The water system of the Amazon warehouse Queens, NY gushes onto the striking workers' picket line. The company is intentionally flooding the area in below freezing temps. #WorkersUnite #UnionStrong

If you are interested in public education, bargaining for the common good & unions— pay attention to Chicago. As educators are demanding housing for our students, green schools, smaller classes, & more student supports to name a few. The pushback is fierce #edusky inthesetimes.com/article/chic...

@ ARTISTS!!! (PLEASE REPOST FOR AWARENESS) if you are unable to use glaze or nightshade for whatever reason, please protect your art by using art shield. it's a free service that takes minutes, and can run on mobile as it is browser based! artshield.io#services

It’s not *just over his views*, to be clear. The man coordinates harassment to direct toward trans people. He is active.m. His views aren’t some passive interior thing we’re trying to thought-police. He demonstrably aims to hurt trans people, literally and materially.

Well... PSA to all the fantasy artists out there, don't work for ImagineFX anymore. They've signed a deal to let OpenAI train on their content.

do you also sometimes dream of being semi-rich just so that you can donate to, commission or shop from every artist you see online

People are leaving Twitter because it’s not fun anymore and no one is obligated to be on a platform they don’t enjoy. It’s not rocket science.

Every single time Universal Basic Income is tried, it is a success and helps people. But it would make assholes very, very angry and so we need about 300 more case studies before we choose to help people. www.oregonlive.com/politics/202...

Yearly reminder to not donate to the Salvation Army due to their exclusionary practices towards lgbt people and their coercive religious requirements; but also don't harass the bell ringers, salvation army abuses loopholes to pay disabled people far below minimum wage in abusive/dangerous conditions

I'm seeing a LOT of new accounts on here being transphobes, racists, or explicit nazis. Do not engage with their posts, do not quote dunk. This is what they WANT, this is what Twitter rewarded them for. No amount of wit is going to get to them, it's not worth it. Block, starve them.

Happy to announce that Nightmare Kart has been nominated for The Indie Game Awards 2024!!!

i prefer a world where fanfiction is allowed to be controversial and even bad than a world where we try to get rid of anything even remotely problematic.

Couldn't have said this shit more perfect. Check replies because seriously, fucking awesome.

Just dropping this here, we won't be silenced 🌈📢 archive.org/details/na-t...

Important note from the bird site, especially for artists:

just another friendly reminder TO NOT subscribe to anyone's Patreon from iOS devices ✋👇

I feel like I need to tap the sign cause I keep seeing people trying to "dunk" on hateful peeps on my feed. This ISN'T TWITTER. Please don't make it into it.

I will not buy your AI book, I will not give its text a look I will not share your AI art, I will not share even a part I will not play your AI game I will not play it, feel some shame! Use your soul and heart and head And make us things to love, instead

If we lose the internet archive we are in serious trouble. They are the only public repository of most digital media (and some physical through scans) - like @frankcifaldi.bsky.social says, 89% of all video games are not currently available to purchase.

“One of the things I do is frame autism not purely in a clinical or self-help context, but in a social justice context,” Silberman told the Guardian in 2015. “I came to it thinking I was going to study a disorder. But what I ended up finding was a civil rights movement being born.”

DONT BE A FUCKING SCAB DONT CROSS A PICKET LINE WORKING CLASS SOLIDARITY FUCK THE RICH

At least this is going the right direction

You what’s better than any animation announcement from D23? The people who made all of it. Support The Animation Guild. #StandWithAnimation

Ten years ago my meds melted in the car while I was running another errand and insurance refused to replace them. This has been coming down the line for a long time.

If you're using generative AI for your personal game dev (or other) project, (1) STOP and (2) REMOVE IT FROM YOUR PROJECT FILES COMPLETELY. At best it was never copyrightable; now it could get YOU in copyright trouble and those fines are a-whole-year's-pay-PER-OFFENSE huge.

please know Apple takes this cut from ALL subscriptions you set up on your phone — either you’re getting charged more or the ppl you’re trying to give money to get paid less. Folks on tumblr are passing around this Hank Green video, which is worth a watch if it’s the first you’re hearing about this.

#StoryCraftUnite Give power (and work) back to the artists

Looks like it's time to do another Patreon link roundup! Please post about your current project and a link to your Patreon.

Fuck’s sake. Please don’t use Patreon’s app on iOS to sign up for anyone’s Patreon. It’s bad for you (30% more expensive) and bad for us (75 day wait for funds)

Easily 2500 people at today’s Stand With Animation rally in Burbank who agree the AMPTP better pay up and give us a fair deal! #standwithanimation #nocontractnocartoons

Animation Guild Contract negotiations kick off NEXT WEEK! We're such a small underdog, y'all turning out for us this Saturday at 5pm could make a huge difference! www.eventbrite.com/e/stand-with...

Artists... Writers... Actors... Creatives of all stripes... REMEMBER THE NAMES OF THE EXECUTIVES WHO DRANK THE AIBRO KOOL-AID WHEN THEY COME CRAWLING BACK... AND UP YOUR RATES ACCORDINGLY.

Call your reps today to tell them you support this and expect them to vocally support these efforts as well as AOC’s articles of impeachment for the compromised justices. It only takes 5 minutes, and you often don’t even have to speak to a real human! (Negative/doomer replies will be blocked)

Project 2025 wants to put Hyun Sook and I, and anyone else who writes books they falsely scream "pornography" at, in prison. They want the teachers and librarians who shelve our books to be registered sex offenders. I know what books they consider "porn," because my book banners are on their board.

we're living through a generational, life-changing technological revolution and it's getting almost zero attention compared to AI spambots

I work at Rockin' Stickers! We're a small business in the PNW and our stickers and our little crew are amazing (I print my own stickers in-house, too)! I love us so much, please consider ordering your stickers from Rockin' Stickers! 💛

Exactly. Literally just be kind and supportive of the people/creatives you like, share their stuff, comment nice things when you can. TL;DR: engage with the community.

REPOST TO SAVE A DISCORD ACCOUNT! Do NOT engage with the kind of message below, but most importantly, DO NOT CLICK THE BLUE DISMISS LINK. IT'S A PHISHING LINK!!

Cartoonists absolutely wish publishers knew this trick! If you paid us a monthly salary and gave us health insurance it would not take us 5 years and countless side projects to make a graphic novel.
