Hey y'all, in light of being suddenly laid off, I've got a emergency fund going while I try and figure out next steps. I know things are tough for a lot of people right now but if you can afford to share or boost this, it would truly mean a lot! gofund.me/1f8f774c

Today on Okazu - Pink Candy Kiss, Volume 1 Viz continues to dig in the Yuri mines and finds another “falling for a married woman” story that has some unique complexity. okazu.yuricon.com/2025/04/24/p...

Oblivion is BDS. Microsoft own Bethesda and were added as a major target for providing AI support and cloud services to aid in Israels genocide. I'm just mentioning it here because I've told several people today who are extremely up on this stuff usually, so if they don't know I'm sure others don't.

A little comic about a boy that was a bird

When I was growing up autistic kids were "hyper" or "had water on the brain" and there was always a raft of "weird kids" who were socially ostracized because they had a hard time people-ing. If you don't think autism existed before it was commonly called "autism," it's because you chose not to see.

still very behind and im also out of pasta in the house, my go-to food when I am having trouble eating - spare a few bucks?

Guess who got invited to draw a guest illustration for @aneido.bsky.social Kickstarter campaign 😳 !

Every time I feel like giving up and shoving my head in a hole I remember that’s what would make the bastards happy and I’m nothing if not a spiteful hopeful cryptid so I’ll do it anyway because I can and I will even if I’m not at my best

Oh right its #lesbianvisibiltyweek I am lesbian and draw lesbian Perceive me 👁️

You Come to a Door, a short comic 🧵 (1/4):

exactly. empathy has a very broad definition- I would argue that the additional focus and work many autistic people do to interpret their surroundings and incoming signals is a form of "empathy" many Neurotypical people actually lack

Joan is simply one of the best people in this industry. One of the most caring, responsible, organized and flat out passionate people I’ve ever met. Anyone would be lucky to have them on their team!!

between the new fatal fury and andor and oblivion we’re truly at an all time cultural low of people who SHOULD know better deciding that it’s all right to give things attention if you like them enough and there’s enough in it for you and you hold your nose about it enough. shameful behavior frankly

Leadership @stonemaiergames.com takes action. They'll join @pacificlegal.bsky.social's suit against the Trump Administration over the sweeping new tariffs on China.

With the Oblivion remaster taking up the hype cycle, it's probably a good time to re-up that the Palestinian-led BDS movement has asked for a boycott of Microsoft's gaming products due to the company's ongoing and enthusiastic technical support for the IDF's ongoing genocide in Gaza.
