48 HOURS REMAIN!
#Drogune: Fortune's Lap comes out Nov. 10th!
My 1st OGN w/ @adambrycethomas.bsky.social!
80pgs! B&W! Action! Adventure! Aliens! AAH!
Purchase links go live on Drogune.com on Nov. 10th!
Your LAST CHANCE to download the original "rough draft" material before it's retired!
Scene from "Drogune: Fortune's Lap" Foren runs through an eerie, surreal scene. Foren is a tall squirrel-dog-man with long, dark, braided hair and pointy ears. He wears a medium length coat. His long tail trails out behind him. The scene is of a cave full of bizarre plants. At the center the stone ceiling twists downwards into a starburst, seeming to point at a bright light source deeper in. Text on the image reads: Drogune: Fortune's Lap November 10th Drogune.com

My tips to get started and get things done with ADHD! Body doubling works best for me 👀 what works best for you?

Part 2 of 3!
Comic page: "How to Motivate Yourself with ADHD - Part 2/3" Top: A cozy stove with a pot of soup. Text: "Recap of Part 1: Imagine ADHD Motivation as a stove with retractable buttons." A button pops out labeled "The buttons are 'motivation'." Bottom: ADHD Alien character sitting cross-legged, holding a game controller, tongue out in focus. Text: "How do I get buttons then? Buttons aren't something you can simply & reliably refill by resting. It's more of a timing-and-momentum thing, like pulling off a button combo on a console." Arrow icons show a combo: ← ↓ ← ↑ ↓ → Comic page: "How to Motivate Yourself with ADHD - Part aimed at coping strategies." Top: Hands holding two bowls labeled "Color Laundry." Text: "Randomize what task to start with." Middle left: Open notebook with one highlighted paragraph. Text: "Start with the smallest possible effort like reading only one paragraph." Middle right: Notebook with checklist and questions. Text: "Write down the steps you need to take and any questions you might have." Bottom left: Desk with laptop, calendar, pen cup. Text: "Keep things you need for specific tasks in one, clean spot (avoid button cost for searching)." Bottom center: Scattered items (cup, tape, sock, plate, paper) sorted into three boxes: "Laundry", "Dishes", "Paper." Text: "Instead of trying to clean everything at once, focus on one category." Comic page: "How to Motivate Yourself with ADHD - Part aimed at coping strategies." Top left: 15-minute timer with duck icon. Text: "Challenge yourself: how much can you do in 15 minutes? Next time, beat it!" Top right: Character praising self with speech bubble: "I did that really well!" Text: "Praise yourself out loud! (ADHD brains don’t reward us as much as other brains do.)" Middle left: Two thought bubbles over character: crossed-out dirty shirt ("If I don’t do laundry, I’m lazy") vs. clean shirt ("If I do laundry, my clothes will smell nice"). Text: "Reframe tasks from punishment to being beneficial for you." Bottom left: Character sealing papers with speech bubble: "we need to seal the demons away!" Text: "Combine things that are fun with tasks that have a high button cost." Bottom right: Two characters on video call, one writing. Text: "Do quiet work sessions of 30 minutes with your friends (body doubling)." Comic page: "How to Motivate Yourself with ADHD - Part aimed at coping strategies." Top left: Phone timer showing "01:25hr Until I have to get dressed." Text: "Avoid waiting-mode by using a timer to see the amount of time you can safely use before having to leave." Top right: Character with purple hair smelling a candle. Text: "Use a certain song, tea or scented candle to condition your brain for 'focus time'." Middle left: Character flexing arm. Text: "Physical activity can help with motivation and focus." Bottom right: Character leaping off couch with "HOPPP!" sound effect. Text: "Give yourself a count-down: 'In 5 seconds, I'll get off the couch' 5...4...3...2...1...HOPPP!"

I have to imagine far-right Catholics are really struggling with the fact that they can now hear this stuff in English directly from the pope.

“How did you receive the foreigner? And did you receive him and welcome him or not?”

Pope Leo XIV challenges us to reflect on the moral cost of policies that target deeply-root immigrants and families.

hey if you are an artist who depends on SNAP,

✅ share some art
✅ share links to where people can buy from/donate to you
✅ share the thread
✅ share someone else's post too
✅ label NSFW/horror/etc. properly
⛔ no AI

My boyfriend gave me his old DS and I modded it and put my fave DS games on there and I was even able to copy over my save data! There is something surprisingly satisfying about playing DS games on it's native console like mmmm

Yeah one of the reasons I don’t do big cons, because I can’t afford to put all the money into merch and prints up front, pay a table, the set up and all the items, travel and stay

Just not doable

Maybe I should start dating again :D find a bread winning spouse
fjbarb.bsky.social Frank J. Barbiere @fjbarb.bsky.social · 10d
Many full time creatives have “invisible safety nets” like bread-winning partners, trust funds, external support, etc. No shame on anyone, but it creates a false vision of success. The cost of going to cons alone on top of hoping to eat as a freelancer are untenable, IMO.

When people hear that I'm returning to part time work they often ask "are things not going well with your art?"

The problem really is things are going well, but the world is so unstable that I long for some consistency and income that I don't have to pay quarterly taxes on

Your art isn’t bad just because it’s not selling right now.

We’re in a recession and people don’t know when they’re gonna eat next, nobody can afford fun things because the economy is crumbling. It’s going to be hard a while.
