Happy #autismacceptancemonth !
Here's an old (like 10 years now lol) comic that explains the Autism Spectrum- still much needed, as I continue to see people- and most recently a book read out on bbc radio 4- think you're either 'mildly' or 'severely' autistic. Please give it a read 💖
Any deep thoughts and insights I acquire at the end of each episode of Evangelion, are completely erased, as that banger of a theme song springs into action when the next episode starts playing 😔

Elon saying he’s going to reprogram his chatbot’s view of history is a perfect example of why these kinds of AI products aren’t the neutral “tools” people always defend them as. They’re little political projects reflecting the ideologies of their creators

Webcomics are the Zines of Comics.

Both in the OG "No barriers to entry: just print, copy, and staple"-sense,

and the "Has blown up into a thing with professional/high-achieving expectations on it and now people think they have to be making polished/premium work in order for it to count"-sense.
There's a lot of folks who are afraid to start their webcomics because they don't want it to look 'ugly' or don't know if they're ready yet" but...
You just need to draw it and have something ugly and potentially 'not ready'
That's the secret to starting a webcomic!

I love how Whisper of the Heart makes ordinary life feel so magical and charming somehow. Maybe its the combination of the themes, music and that lovely classically Ghibli pacing and animation?
I watch it whenever I want the mundane to feel beautiful.
I want to make something like that one day~

Here's Chapter 2 of Incorrutible. Time for Revolution 🔥
Can you imagine going through your life assuming you would NEVER be allowed to have a say in politics, and then suddenly, at only 30 yrs old, getting the chance for that??

I did my best to compile as many protest safety notes as possible into a one page foldout zine! Coincidentally…it seems the file has breached containment…like it’s available for anyone to print or hand out 👀⚖️

Organizers in LA are raising money to do tamale buyouts from local tamale vendors who are unable to safely vend on the street due to ICE kidnapping vendors. The tamales will be distributed to unhoused neighbors. Please consider donating — I personally vouch for this one: venmo.com?txn=pay&audi...

I feel like most of my followers know this but because I see a lot of cis folks who have a specific blind spot for it:

This includes the theme park. I don't care if you want Butterbeer or want to get a wand or are already there so why not just walk in. It's all Her. Everything with the name is Her.
J.K. Rowling is using her wealth attained from the "Harry Potter" series to create an organization dedicated to removing transgender people's rights "in the workplace, in public life, and in protected female spaces.”

“I agree with Nick.”

Kill the industry, you say? That sounds tough for that industry. Which industry was that again?

Oh. The stealing industry? Maybe killing that industry wouldn’t be such a bad thing? Considering it’s kind of a bad industry. Unlike the other one, which it’s currently killing.
