Rly wish ppl would stop saying “am I having a stroke” every time something is confusing. I could say a lot more on this, but I shouldn’t have to

Any time I do a comics fest I get flashbacks to my first time tabling like a decade ago when some guy told me that my zine about a depressed gay trans rat was offensive and a ripoff of Maus and I should get over myself and find my own style LMFAOOOO

In the last half hour I’ve opened this app 10 times wrote a tweet and then erased before posting every time, this has triggered the emergency fail safe protocol: mandatory journal time. Locked out of app until completion.

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.
Rude Rude or impolite, including crude language and disrespectful comments, without constructive purpose. Highlighted Off, darkened Warn, and darkened Hide buttons.

average bluesky poster
Screenshots from My Dinner With Andre. Wallace Shawn, a balding white man looking as tired as a human has ever looked, walks a graffiti-strewn subway platform and thinks, "When I was young, all I thought about was art and music. Now I'm 36 and all i think about is cow tools."

I think we can all agree that the emoji copypasta announcing the death of a politician is a sacred tradition

Did not expect one of the best paragraphs I’d read about baseball would come from an Irish newspaper

www.irishexaminer.com/sport-column...
And in that pause between pitch and contact - longer than logic, shorter than hope - we remembered why baseball existed long before we judged a sport's value by viral moments and betting apps. It is the romance of failure. The mortal beauty of trying and missing seven times out of 10 and still being considered great. It is the only sport where patience is a weapon, and panic the surest death. You cannot simply run out the clock in baseball; you must face it, pitch by terrifying pitch, until it finally releases you.

a comic about my comic
a 9 panel comic. panel 1 is of an urn at a funeral. it's raining. "My dad died a year ago this month. we never got along. he was abusive all my life, often drunk, and very hard to manage." panel 2 is a whiskey tumbler. "everybody says he wasn't always like that, but that never really felt like it mattered because to me, he always was." panel 3 is a man staring across a black river at night. "There's a story about my dad's family, about a father and son who lived on a farm by a river in kentucky. one night, the father drowned himself in the river, and the next day when the son saw what had happened, he followed him into the river too." panel 4 is a river winding between mountains. "it was never officially ruled as a double suicide. That wasn't right with the lord." panel five is a hand touching a man's forehead. "I think they were sick. I think everyone in dad's family was sick, and so was he, and that's why I have bipolar. The way he passed was ugly. death isn't like it is on tv. it's messy." panel six is two hands holding each other. "our last moments together were..." panel 7 is a first person pov of an arm with an IV in it. "I was hospitalized for acute stress-related acid damage to my stomach after the funeral, and returned six more times after that." panel 8, crying in the ER. "I never told him I was gay." panel 8, walking down the street. "The story of the father and son followed me around. it made me wonder; could that have been me? it runs in us after all. mental illness, and huge, brutal despair. I feel it all the time." panel 1, drawing at my cintiq. "My art mutated. ive seen it in other artists who have lost important people. it changes the nature of the work. grief is in the hand. its an unintentional affection." panel 2is two men, figures in shadow, underwater surrounded by seaweed. "what's at the bottom of the river? what came out of those rolling appalachias, where dad's story begins? who were those people who went down in the water and never came back?" panel 3 is a house at night with only the attic light shining. "what is grief? how does it move? does it have translucence? does it follow you down dark halls at night? does it show you things that aren't there?" panel 4, crying on the floor in the laundry room. "I feel like a haunted house." panel 5 is a hand holding a slide. "but, there..." panel 6 is a closeup of the slide; a father, two children, and a grandma, standing on a rock looking out over the appalachian mountains. "something so human. a spark of inspiration. art can save your life. grief is a kind of love, and in this understanding, i realized i had a story inside me about all those things." panel 7 crosses the whole bottom of the page; looking out across water to a weeping willow growing on the far shore. "maybe this is how i can learn to forgive. forgive my dad, and my family, and that father and son beneath the river, and all the rest of it, caught up on a cool gust of wind through green leaves." panels 1, 2, and 3, reaching into the fronds of the willow tree. panel 4, closeup of an open palm with a willow seed in it. "maybe grief can be a seed." panel 5: drawing at the cintique, view from behind. "I can do it. I can grow something incredible, and I can learn to look at the river and feel still inside." panel 6 is the same view, but farther out. the window is visible and the moon is out. "I can do it. I'm still alive, are you listening? i didnt die after you, you didn't take me with you, I can do it. I am alive. I am alive." final panel; a full-color illustration of a weeping willow blowing in the wind, it's reflection showing in the water it grows by. "are you listening?"
