Magic Con Chicago has been quite a trip, a fun adventure so far. Met some cool folks and seen some cool things.

What’s also upsetting a lot of these ✋🏻 people is the fact that they are also ignoring historical & global context. Do you know HOW many countries & governments Uncle Sam is responsible for stealing? Collapsing? Preventing? Steam-rolling? Did you really think none of that would boomerang “home”?

Manifesting more Benedict Wong projects.

Holy shit, they’re real! I’ll have these with me at Magic Con Chicago! Stop by this week d if you’re in the area. I’ll get them up on my site soon. :) #criticalrole

the most interesting comic creators for me are the ones not just trying to recreate the work they grew up reading

For library workers in higher ed who want to be more involved with labor organizing

One of my more complex OC, Aethelred :') #OC #berensart2025

funky crustaceans! #marinelife

To everyone enduring hardship out there—our BIPOC family, refugees, immigrants, workers, the homeless, survivors of abuse, those battling addiction, our elderly, the sick, the depressed, and all oppressed communities—I want you to know: I see you. Sending love. Sending solidarity. ♥️✊🏾💚

Humanity will never be free until the last king is strangled with the entrails of the last techbro.

I need to start calling well informed people "clueful" more often.

"AI can cite sources now! It's a good research tool!" Can it assess those sources? Does it know a good one from a bad one? Can it judge the merits of a methodology? If you're not actually checking the quality of the citations yourself you're still probably getting slop, just slop with citations

Cover real!! My next book (and first prose novel!) SCARLET MORNING is coming to you September 23 from HarperCollins! 🏴‍☠️🩸🌅⚔️ people.com/nimona-creat...

Chinese users on Red Note ask why Americans aren't fighting and... it's pretty much this. You consign yourself to death if you fight because without a job you're just dead.

My newest creation is Steven. I designed and hand-sewed him. He traveled to our world through a swirling, moldy portal in the fridge. People suspect he's an interdimensional being, but Steven insists he's an ordinary, very normal potato. jeremycreature.etsy.com

⚔️9k celebratory #artshare ⚔️ I'm blown away by the support, love, and inspiration this community keeps on giving, thank you❤️ rules: -let's keep it relatively sfw - no explicit content! -tell something about yourself, your interests, etc. -remember to comment, love and share other's art too!

If you’ve ever dealt with a manager who wanted to change policies/procedures/staffing in projects or departments they didn’t fully understand & without input from those who do, we’re seeing that on a massive scale. For spice, add in that this manager hates the project/department/staff in question.

Hoo's Bear? 8x8 acacia wood tray. Good for holding knick knacks or rolling DnD dice. This tray is up for sale! DM me if you're interested

haven't been making time for unsupervised doodling in 2025. that's no good. gotta turn that around!

the Knight of Winter joins the cast

That’s how you write a headline, people.

I am watching scavengers reign for the first time

Care for a.. cuddlefish? Pattern on gumroad. #plush #art #cuttlefish #cephalopod

First nuclear weapons management, now this. No one - Democrat or Republican - voted for this kind of incompetence.

I really, truly hate that our government has been bribed by tax preparation companies to not just… let the IRS handle our taxes and send us a check or a bill. Like numerous other reasonable countries. The current arrangement is needlessly complicated (and expensive, depending on where you live).

Mr Spock always had emotions. So did Data. So does every autistic person you've ever met.

Dear Fellow White people When you are okay with racism "Ah that's just Great Aunt Millicent, pay her no mind" *laughs along with racist joke to not be the woke killjoy* etc You're racist. The racist bones in your body are the spine in which you lack.

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING

Seeing Ai art being used in actual products is so sad like I wanna know at what point you just stopped caring if it was good or not. Like even the designers, when was the day it all changed for you and none of it fucking mattered anymore.

Someone's gotta do it I guess New print here! www.sonnyross.com/shop/together

What can you even say about the Marvel Rivals dev team being laid off? You can put out a super succesful product and it still won't save you from getting the boot.

Like think .. We’ve still not had Trump for a full month They have gutted DEI in all ways and forms We KNOW what it means And NO ONE including your Non Black faves and your Black leadership has unequivocally come out in unambiguous terms supporting civil rights
