Honestly cannot fix this for my family by myself, which is why I’m asking for help. It’s super important for them to fully pay the rent because the longer the delay, the higher the chance of eviction. Housing security is necessary for any kind of stability.
I spent this morning thanking people for donating to our crisis. Which is still ongoing. We've raised about ~$200/$900. This will help a little, but we do need more help. Please any assistance is beyond appreciated. Any repost, donations and even well wishes.

Hey all, some of you may know my comic through Hiveworks, or know of CTC’s past association with Hiveworks due to the book 1 Kickstarter. I would recommend reading through this and the personal experiences of the affected artists in the QRTs. Please show them and their webcomics some support-

On a more positive note, many of the creators from Hiveworks came together to create the Chimera Comics Collective - a place where we could maintain the 'webring' aspect of Hiveworks and continue supporting each other.

Please follow us here! 🦁🐐🐍

i love learning that a thing i nebulously knew was a problem can be explained rather simply by the sentence "north america does things stupider, Just Because".

it's radicalizing to learn how little has to change (adoption of the international standard) to make things better
The United States has the fewest elevators in the rich world, with Canada only a bit ahead. We teamed up with @uytaelee.bsky.social of About Here Videos to investigate why, exactly, North America sucks at elevators.

Friend was venting a bit about struggling with "moot perception" and I think in 2026 some of you need to regain control and agency of your spaces. Having the "what will my followers think" mindset is self-harming. It's your account, with your rules, and every follower is a guest. Don't forget that.

Adult creators and sex workers are going to continue to be picked off, one by one, unless people stand up for them.

please call your representatives. demand they oppose censorship bills like the SCREEN Act, KOSA, and demand protections for Section 230
3D adult animator Vega has been banned from Patreon. Vega wrote that Patreon took aim at the adult Blender artist’s content by claiming certain works were “non consenting art”

This, like the flat and possibly declining price of oil, shows how we're in a phantom economy.

Businesses saw a way to lie about layoffs without worrying investors, so they lied. All those big big numbers making line go up are a fantasy.
AI layoffs are looking more and more like corporate fiction that's masking a darker reality, Oxford Economics suggests | Fortune
"Firms don't appear to be replacing workers with AI on a significant scale," the firm said. It suspects some are trying to "dress up layoffs" as good news.

This is so real, they tried it this morning in Bloomington. They stopped a man, people started honking horns, they split up to fuck with everyone else, which brought more attention and more noise, people got out of their cars and started filming, they left. They're cowards.
obviously not in the sense that it’s stopping everything, but they are being stalled so much by trying to find places where they aren’t watched, wasting so much manpower and resources on crowd control and even arresting observers they know will just get released. i am so proud of everyone
