fairy facts
pencil sketch of a comic page panel. a beautiful and smart fairy says "unlike some dumber creatures, us fairies can have two thoughts on our mind at the same time!" while holding up three fingers. a friendly but suspicious goblin observes her antics

Hey I made a zine about asking for things you want and BDSM. My ass is also in it and bruises if you like looking at that too.

Shout out to @fanfi.bsky.social for the magazine cutouts I used to make the cover check out his patreon

madeofmess.itch.io/bruised-frui...
A grainy black and white image of a peach with cut out letters stating "Bruised Fruit is still good." two apples one at the top and one at the bottom of the page both with different ink blemishes on them Text over crumpled paper and a black and white image of old jewelry reading "This is a personal zine about asking for things and getting it. There's depictions of bruises and nudity here." An image of a body in black and white with a visible nervous system in thin white lines with text over the top that reads, "I've died so many times trying to be understood. The slow drag of being disassembled into parts unknown and returning in pieces."

Vampires? ✅
Tender Erotica? ✅
Gay Old Men? ✅

Part of our Valentine's sale is @claystorks.bsky.social's LETTERS FOR LUCARDO series. ALL erotica is on sale!

A nigh-retirement age clerk finds out he's caught the eye of his handsome immortal employer... store.ironcircus.com/collections/...
All three current parts of Letters for Lucardo are part of our Valentine's Sale! If you are looking for something softer where they still end up in bed together, this may catch your eye! Though aged in appearance Lucardo appears younger than his crush, Ed, he is actually the elder of the pair, and appreciates Ed despite the other's silver age. Though the two hit it off mutually, Lucardo finds pushback from his immortal family.... And if you get all three in the bundle, you'll save even more! https://store.ironcircus.com/collections/vday2026

Hourly Comics Day has MOVED!

It's the 20th anniversary and we're taking a stand alongside our Black cartoonist members and friends to demand a change to honor Black History Month- draw your comics on the 8th, not the 1st!

hourlycomicsday.com

#hourlycomicsday #hourlycomicday #hcd
"IN OBSERVANCE & SOLIDARITY". Two black speech bubbles with white text read "HOURLY COMICS DAY IS NOW ON FEB 8TH. CARTOONISTS HONOR BLACK HISTORY MONTH. FEB 1 - MAR 1". There is an illustration of a black silhouetted hand raised and holding a pen in the top right, and an illustration of a nib pen and an ink well personified on the bottom right. The nib and ink are bumping fists. A URL at the bottom is "hourlycomicsday.com".

One of the reasons why Elon Musk and other folks on the right want to shut down Wikipedia (or "compete" with it). It's a good platform for regular folks to accumulate data, even keep track of all of this administration's atrocities in real time. Great work

Immigration is a fake problem. We have politicians on the one hand who want to use immigrants as scapegoats for our real ones and politicians on the other who are too cowardly to stand against them and tell the truth. That is the entire situation. Until that changes, people will continue to die.

niihama forest
photograph of a mossy forest pond, with a nearly branchless trunk of a fir tree intersecting the center of the image photograph of a lakeside where old birch and fir trees grow. the arctic midday sunset is painting the tree trunks with a warm light photograph of an overflown lake in the boglands, where thawing icy water spreads over the autumnal undergrowth. in the distance, across the lake, a single red hut sits in the shadow of the forest photograph of an old fir tree that has fallen over in a storm, uprooting many saplings with its large root system. i've flipped the photo vertically, making the fallen tree and saplings have the appearance of standing upright once more. in the distance, the rest of the forest seems to be growing horizontally

Ever relevant, this poem by Mary Oliver, especially today.
OF THE EMPIRE We will be known as a culture that feared death and adored power, that tried to vanquish insecurity for the few and cared little for the penury of the many. We will be known as a culture that taught and rewarded the amassing of things, that spoke little if at all about the quality of life for people (other people), for dogs, for rivers. All the world, in our eyes, they will say, was a commodity. And they will say that this structure was held together politically, which it was, and they will say also that our politics was no more than an apparatus to accommodate the feelings of the heart, and that the heart, in those days, was small, and hard, and full of meanness.
