I am so fucking tired of defaulting to thinking about "tradeoffs".

People forcing themselves to think like a political strategist is antithetical to being human.

My question to them would be the same as my question to the "wellness" people.

Don't you ever get tired of living like this?
This is not hard. Artists are not responsible for ensuring the Kennedy Center remains relevant and successful. The center’s board is responsible for that, in a fiduciary way. All of this energy being directed at artists should be re-directed at the board.

Still trying to meet my goal. Rent is due soon, and I forgot that the payment arrangement for my phone is due today, as is my contribution to the internet bill…

Anything at all helps. Thanks so much~

when I was starting out, (pre-internet) I asked another artist a question about buying the chemicals to make a blue line (again, very long time ago) & they said they weren't going to tell me because I was competition & that's when I decided I'd never be a dick like that to another artist
Cartoonists getting mad over the 'what brush do you use?' question baffles me (and I have absolutely seen them in uproar over it, ye gods 🙄). Someone wants to know about your tools! don't you like talking about the tools you use to make comics? I know I do! Ask me about my brush!!!
A surefire way to make comics readership shrink away is to make casual readers feel stupid & embarrassed for making basic comments or asking basic questions. That’s why I cringe when artists get loudly defensive about stuff like “this reminds me of Steven Universe!” or even “what brushes do you use”

This is one of the most beautiful desks I have ever seen. And it pairs so incredibly well with that Marcel Breur Cesca chair.

Morning, everyone!
I am going to be working on comms this week, and once again finishing things up!
My prices are going up after the first of the year, so if you wanna reserve something at existing prices then let me know~

The Marjorie Taylor Greene conciliation tour is fascinating to watch - it doesn't accomplish its stated goals of damaging Trump any more than she was willing to do on her own, but it's still an excuse for centrists to browbeat leftists for "failing to think strategically"

the end of the year is about me giving more money than expected to bill collectors and the more money i give the more news years it is (i need to get a few commissions reserved topay bills and get pet food lol)

We've learned in the past decade or so that forensic science and behavioral psychology are basically made up. Meanwhile, medical science turned AIDS into a manageable condition, developed a vaccine for a global pandemic, and is reversing Alzheimer's in mice
Reminder that years ago it was found out that the FBI straight up made up a whole bunch of fake forensic sciences, plural. People have gone to jail and been executed due to literally pseudoscience.

Hair forensics, for instance, is totally nonsense.

They admitted it.

There are ZERO redeeming qualities to MTG and it's annoying to watch folks at The Bulwark, including Bill Kristol, try to make us think there is something positive about her.
I’ve seen a bunch of responses to the Draper profile of MTG complaining about her pushing ahead a bill that restricts gender-affirming care for minors. This is a misunderstanding of what she’s doing. www.thebulwark.com/p/why-marjor...

This monstrous fuck is the editor of The Bulwark.

If this is liberalism's defenders, then it is not long for this world.
She helped pass a bill—which is 100% part of liberalism. Maybe you don’t like the bill. Maybe the bill will hurt some people and have bad outcomes. But that’s part of liberal democracy.

If your "liberal democracy" is founded upon the notion that an entire marginalized group within your nation should be criminalized for existing so long as enough people vote for it, that "liberal democracy" should be destroyed because it is evil.

I have to be real, I started indie publishing because I was frustrated by the lack of control and autonomy in trad.

The idea that indies "have to use AI to compete" is genuinely insulting because the whole highlight of indie is that you can do it all yourself & hire cool people to help you.

Also note the radicalisation of Suzanne Moore via transphobia!
