Democracy doesn’t die in darkness, it dies in broad daylight because of oligarchs like this fucking asshole

Hating a subset of humanity for just existing and then making that hatred your whole personality is honestly weird loser behavior. Ditch whatever parent/partner/church/coach/führer/celebrity/gooner failson YouTuber is calling those shots for you and go to therapy.

First astronaut: “Wait, it’s all exploitation and abdication of ethics and morality, not super genius intellect and acumen?” Second astronaut, aiming gun at first: “Always has been”

Big win today for Preventable Diseases in the fight against Preventable Diseases. Stoked to have the roadkill-eating version of Lowly Worm in charge of public health.

Where are the leftist hackers? Why do we only get Edolph’s army of baby dweebs with their fingers in all our shit instead of Apartheid Clyde getting all his assets stolen and everyone’s student and medical debt wiped out?

There’s a hundred things they could’ve done to protect us while they had the chance if they gave a fuck about any of us. There’s no “our hands are tied, we can’t because of this bit of bureaucracy” when it comes to protecting and ensuring the safety of Capital. Because that’s all they serve.

Hope everyone who told us we were overreacting for the past decade+ now underst—oh who am I fucking kidding

I guess Bluesky is where I make my stand. I won’t rejoin TikTok if the rumors are true and it resurrects as another head of the Meta hydra. Stopped using Insta and FB, abandoned twitter after Musk took over…really tired of the oligarchs making digital refugees of creators on the once-free web.

There is constant horror happening, all over the world. We shouldn’t ignore it; but, we must also post about butts and other joys with some regularity or we will all go irredeemably insane

The Neil Gaiman stuff is so vile I can’t wrap my head around it. A massive betrayal of everyone who ever put their trust in him—his victims…his CHILD…anyone who ever found joy or comfort in his work. I hope these women coming forward are able to find some semblance of justice or peace.

People, if your boyfriend: 1.) wears heavy chains as jewelry 2.) is heavily-muscled 3.) does not wear a shirt 4.) sweats profusely 5.) plays a killer sax solo That’s not your boyfriend—that’s the sax man from the 1987 film The Lost Boys

Do we have to keep doing this?

A lot of other billionaires don’t appear to care about the hate they get, but Elon is so clearly desperate for people to like him. Has he ever considered maybe spending his time and money doing things for the public good instead of being a greedy, hateful, enshittifying cringelord might help?

Mister Rogers never misses

A Soundgarden cover band made up of only members of the Skarsgård family, calling themselves Skarsgården. Is this anything?

Inks for the WIP cover of the third printing of The Unforgiven #1! Hoping to have a good ‘ol ‘90s-style foil variant as well

Self-promotion is already pretty uncomfortable/difficult for many artists, and the hoops we now have to jump through to properly poison images of our work against AI before posting them anywhere adds a whole new barrier to the process. We just want to make art!

The computers used to scream at us when we logged on because They Knew

🎼 It’s the most dealing-with-complicated-family-dynamics-and-religious-trauma tiiiiiime of the yeaaaar 🎵 There’ll be scary ghost stories and tales of the goriest Christmases long long agoooo

Time for the evergreen post “If you don’t want people celebrating your death, don’t spend your life being a piece of garbage”

Anyway, check out my comic book series The Unforgiven, a story about whether or not humanity can learn from our mistakes or be doomed to repeat them over and over again until we eventually destroy ourselves

Hell yeah!

Sometimes you’ve gotta just hang out with some penguins

A cat who was kicked off the table, who thinks this is a viable alternative

Please do not support AI art. We work too goddamn hard for too goddamn little, all for the love of the thing, just to be ripped off by unfeeling machines.

Hello to the millions of new twitter refugees! I’m Tyler B Ruff and I write and illustrate comics. Follow me if you like traditional art and desire to unite the exploited underclass against our capitalist oppressors.

We live in a post-scarcity society. No one should be without food, water, shelter, or health care. We don’t have a resource supply problem, we have a resource distribution problem—on purpose. Capitalism requires a suffering underclass so the hoarders at the top can profit off of needless misery.

Stoked to finally be finding the people I used to follow on the other hellsite when I search them out here! Welcome!

Somebody please add me to a starter pack for comic creators or something, because I can’t ever seem to gain a social media following on my own to save my life. 🙏🏻 I know saying that goes against the Unwritten Posting Rules, but I’ve been doing this for over a decade and I’m exhausted, so w/e

I love that leaving the “Yes! Please pester me with marketing emails!” box unchecked when buying anything online means absolutely nothing these days.

I know things seem particularly hopeless right now, but suicide is never the answer—not when you can be the biggest pain in the ass possible to the worst people while you’re living

@tessreid.bsky.social Thanks for being a great table mate at SLICE today! I’ll have to let you know what I think of The Cable Guy once we finally watch it! Lol
