i'm seeing some people comparing mania to hysteria. to be clear: hysteria is not real. mania IS very, very real. these are NOT in the same category of things. hysteria was entirely a misogynistic concept hurled at women. mania is a medical diagnosis that men and women experience in equal numbers

Ableism & saneism can be weaponized against anyone who’s undesirable for any reason. Not being disabled is no protection bc not only can anyone become disabled at any time, authorities can declare anyone disabled at any time. And bc the public is so down with ableism, they usually get away with it

as someone who has actually been manic and therefore isn't allowed to fly a plane, and not without reason: inhuman shriek

Draw your own scripts. I don't care if its just stick figures. Knowing what you are asking an artist to do changes the way you write.

you know how you know if it's is a nazi salute on accident or not? if i made a nazi salute on accident i would be so horrified, so ashamed, so fucking mortified, i would go on an apology tour and make every effort the rest of my life to communicate that i was not, in fact, a nazi. interestingly,

i just wanna point out because it's not fully clear from the videos, it is FUCKING POURING RAIN today in seattle

i reposted some of these yesterday but the whole thread is good! also a small bit of advice on writing short comics: i find that focusing on writing one moment/scene, or a thought, or a single character as they are, is a good way to start. you don't have to do character arcs and subplots etc

anyway an update on the spider demon problem: it's FAR less dubious as a concept. also i've looked up SO MANY different unique ways for someone to die today and now i'm afraid. of everything

my secret feelings on all this are that gay couples can also be exceedingly boring and derivative. i won't name my most popular examples for fear of reprisal but. just because it's gay doesn't mean it's good. and more importantly: just because it's gay doesn't mean it's revolutionary
