Good morning

I am drawing the story of my friend & comic colorist @nickfil.bsky.social and his partner Shannon went through during Hurricane Helene. It is part of Islands In The Sky, a new kickstarter OGN with stories by Matt Fraction, Brian Michael Bendis, Nate Powell & more. www.kickstarter.com/projects/app...

NEW: a test of some of the most popular creatine gummies on amazon found that they, uh, don't contain creatine: www.wired.com/story/creati...

Car maintenance rant - I’ve replaced more than my share of car batteries but today was a new chore. The battery’s location requires removal of another piece held in place by indestructible lights pop screws. Should take 20 minutes took about two hours and a specialty order. Argh!

NEW: The Oklahoma Supreme Court ruled that a 2021 censorship law can't be used to ban teaching about race and gender in Oklahoma's higher education institutions. This is a win for academic freedom and the First Amendment.

Art nerds, zinesters, and visual weirdos— The Oklahoma Comic Arts Festival is full of the styles you’re obsessed with.

This is such a good joke this person should be allowed to immediately retire and receive a state-granted middle-class wage adjusted for inflation for the rest of their days.

He's a fucking traitor

🚨 There’s a lot of horrific news out of Washington right now—but you might have missed this: Senate Republicans just introduced a plan to sell off 120 million acres of our public lands. Let me break down what’s in the bill and why it’s a full-scale land grab. 🧵

This is incredible

Guys, please talk about Thiago Avila. He's the Brazilian activist on Freedom Flotilla kidnapped by Israel. He's still detained and has been doing a hunger and water strike since yesterday early morning. There have been reports of unsanitary conditions too. Please talk about him.

All the people I still know in LA laugh and laugh when they hear that "Los Angeles is burning." I made a couple of maps to show just how tiny and localized the protests are. GOPers are working really hard to make an excuse for declaring martial law. People should be very wary of that.

For Disability Pride Month I’m once again begging for more artists to start considering accessibility and add alt text to your images. It helps low/no vision folks, neurodivergent folks, and more. Plus alt text shows up in searches! There’s a toggle in settings so you won’t forget. 👇

Just finished, Acrylic on canvas. ‘Back in on the Jib’. Painted using Golden Open acrylics. very enjoyable putting in the rigging! #acrylic #marine #royalsocietyofmarineartists #art #canvas
