As a long-time resident in Taiwan, it's clear that Lai Ching-te's rhetoric of Taiwan hasn't substantially changed from Tsai Ing-wen. What has clearly changed is the CCP has up its tempo with its aggression against Taiwan. This is clear when analyzing the data. 1/

Spider-Gwen warmups for today with roughs included in blue. I am having fun pushing the extreme foreshortening. I'm also experimenting with doing a tonal rough for the crouched figure instead of my usual loose lines for the spray-can Gwen.

It was a great opportunity to get feedback from artists to help me improve for the next round! #spidergwen #marvel

What will it take to break hardcore MAGAs? Nothing will ever break their faith.
10s of millions died due to Mao's policies in the late 50s. Then in the mid-60s he was able to get his hardcore followers to launch a campaign of murder against people for crimes such as "being a teacher". Cultists.

The hardcore MAGAs will NEVER change. They are cultists. The US Red Guard. But this can shatter faith among a substantial section of his non-MAGA support. I want to see epic, city-shutdown scale protests.

Right. Depicting your targets as parasites and diseases and stripping them of their humanity makes atrocities against them more palatable to your own population. (See Nazi’s propaganda against Jews)

China just announced military drills encircling Taiwan.

Worryingly, the drills are designed to "seize comprehensive control" over certain areas and "assault on maritime and land targets."

45 pro-democracy activists in Hong Kong face sentencing—punished for standing up for the place they love.

Some had to plead guilty, caught in a system that criminalizes dissent:

For me, the way out of despair is to divide up the areas that you feel strongest about changing & go and do something as often as you can. Change your own community first. Direct giving. Donate your time. Volunteer at a food bank. Teach someone to read. Tell someone you have their back. And mean it.

A few photos from NYCC this weekend: So good to meet up with friends, get portfolio advice from artists I have admired for years, see Look Back at the theater, and generally celebrate the medium! I am re-energized for my next stage of drawing!

OMG, fucking shout this shit from the hilltops. We need Kamala, because we all will desperately need funds to help keep our parents aging safely at home!
This literally took my breath away. Do you KNOW how big a deal this is?

Aging-in-place, at home, is the BEST way to care for a senior with dementia. But can I tell you how much it cost to hire care for my mother at home, even shitty care in a low-cost market (Eastern Iowa)?

$14,000 A MONTH.
Harris proposes new funds for at-home senior care, aiming at 'sandwich generation'
Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris announced a plan to expand healthcare benefits to cover at-home senior care in an interview on ABC's "The View" program on Tuesday, the latest policy proposal in her effort to boost the "care economy" and lower healthcare costs.
