Day 52: The Artistic Process™️ I can feel myself going insane

The Democrats to yell at: Bennet (CO) Blumenthal (CT) Cortez Masto (NV) Durbin (IL) Fetterman (PA) Gallego (AZ) Hassan (NH) Heinrich (NM) Hickenlooper (CO) Kelly (AZ) Klobuchar (MN) Peters (MI) Reed (RI) Rosen (NV) Shaheen (NH) Warner (VA)

disturbing uptick in "we post tweets and talk about them." servile behavior tbh. bluesky is not the Greek chorus for the main character action of twitter, that's loser thinking, have some pride. twitter is dead. post bangers. thank you

Journalists should report the truth the way this judge laid it out.

Close enough (art by Barclay Shaw). 👍 #library #libraries #librarian #librarianproblems #memes #librarymemes #supportyourlibrary #banbillionairesnotbooks #banfascistsnotbooks #publiclibrary #loveyourlibrary #literature #reading #freadom #skybrarian #booksky #💙📚

It may have come out last year, but the GODZILLA VALENTINE’S DAY SPECIAL from me, @sebastianpiriz.bsky.social and @sharkberri.bsky.social is as romantic and kaiju filled as ever and available on your digital reading apps as well as on various online comic stores!

Show me a picture on your phone that has your energy but isn't a selfie.

I can finally post videos so... Hi, I'm Cressa and I do stop motion. You may have seen my preshows at your local movie theatre. Here's a cute thing I made for the release of Godzilla Minus One:

One of the many reasons MAGA hates Universities is that moms and dads send their christofascist indoctrinated kids to Unis and they... wake up. Not because of profs, but because they are surrounded by diverse students who push them to see the horrors of their upbringing.

They are going to ignore court orders. If they ignore court orders, the social contract is dead and buried, the constitution is no longer in effect. It's a rubicon that cannot be uncrossed.

If you want to understand what happened at the New York Times this story of mine from last month broke some news and also includes an overview of where we are and how we got here, linking others' good work.

Highkey Kaiser Permanente's online portal and its emphasis on "lifestyle" and "wellness" very quickly begins to feel like, "We are doing everything we can to make sure you don't come and see a healthcare professional in-person."

I Am Honoring Nachos

LA Strong is a benefit anthology being made to help support our comic-making colleagues who have lost their homes in the Los Angeles fires. Order details in the comments. I've made a piece with US-based architecture Prof Jon Yoder. Eds: @mightybrunstad.bsky.social and @mikemarts.bsky.social

JD Vance knows perfectly well what the truth is here. But if a lie will be more useful to him, he knows what to do.

I see "anticipatory obedience" everywhere right now, and it's really key for us (also in Europe/worldwide) to plan ahead and be ready to resist, bc these trends seem to come with a few years lag after the US (think populist, fascist-friendly gov't takeovers): www.aaup.org/report/again...

classic Loony Tunes have much to teach us about class solidarity

Overwhelmed! At the Minor Task

hey, cis folks who followed for call scripts! this is good. communities standing together can help protect trans kids—it’s terrifying for single teachers to stand alone. there’s a doc in shay’s link. copy the alt text—whatever. it’ll take so little time. resisting compliance is actual resistance.

So I deIeted my Twitter. Completely unrelated, here's a painting of a queen who covets wealth and power. She destroys everyone around her in her pursuit of riches. She sits surrounded by great castle halls, filled with gold, but she sits alone. Covetous - watercolour and acryla gouache

Prediction: This next week, we're going to have some absolutely nonsense discourses that get elevated to mass-block, friendship destroying nightmare level because everyone is going to be staggering around looking for someone to punch.

How to spend today

It will be easy to fall into a pattern of dunking & reacting in these times. Performing disapproval can be a consuming pastime & it is not enough. Refuse to abandon vulnerable people. Build a rebellious culture of care. If you need help, @prisonculture.bsky.social and I wrote a book to assist you.

How much money can #booksky (& the Clarabelle crew) raise for California wildfire relief this weekend? 🔥📚💙📚🪐📚🌶️ GoFundMe links & donation tracker in the comments, plus a way to get your posts boosted 🚀 on my feeds as a 'thank you' for helping Angelinos in need.

One thing before tomorrow: Use your local libraries. Get your card. Borrow books, manga, films, audios, ebooks. Recommend titles for purchase (usually online). Attend promoted activities. Fill out those "How are we doing?" questionnaires. Tell your kids that libraries are good. They are. 📚

Lil work comic

I'm hearing people talk about making "safe author" lists/starter packs and hahahahaha holy shit that's a terrible idea. Just start drafting your "We had no idea" post now, because you're going to need it.

Snow Moth for the moth gods

I've been busy being social (including with the author 😄), but I can't wait to dig into this.

this connected some dots for me

this has already swallowed unprecedented amounts of money and it will continue to eat more and more and the people who have the money will convince themselves to keep feeding it to not admit their failed judgment until one day the bubble bursts and all is gone. a new kind of recession.

You take the moon and you take the sun

Quick doodle. Mirror queen and her maidens that reflect back her visage. Thought about doing an animation with this ideal some time.

Hi hi! my comms are open again :3 I still have 3/4 slots open! #commissions #commissionsopen

I'm still recovering from YA burnout from library school, but I'm actually really enjoying @mjgwrite.bsky.social's Above the Black. It's like... Dishonored plus Arcane ft. Kaijus and also the culture revolves around people beating each other with sticks. A+ Worldbuilding.

it really is amazing how quickly someone arguing in favor of "think of the children" legislation makes it absolutely explicit they think children are property with zero legal rights or protections, all while claiming to be the ones who care about child safety

Even if you aren’t surprised, this is worth reading because the timeline reveals just how calculating that awful lady really is. Wow.
