There is a rabbit in the foreground and mothman looming behind. a man wearing a slim crown and a long teal vest lounging back in a chair looking at a water orb balancing a toy sailboat

If we can get Spryte to $3,250 then all backers will receive a 2 page digital comic I did with @cesious.blue called The Refrain of the Nightjar.

Jack did a helluva job and was a joy to work with, it's bugging me that I'm sitting on this great art so let's get this thing unlocked!!

Zohran Mamdani proves that proudly and genuinely standing up for trans people (along with all other oppressed and downtrodden groups) is not just morally necessary, but a winning strategy

On reddit looking up copyright info when I was presented with the most blatently dumb and ridiculous AI question prompt I've ever seen:
Screenshot. The second half of someone's explanation about translations of public domain works being copyright themselves. After is an AI "related answer" suggestion: "Differences between copyright and copyleft"

Gotta love an enthusiastic naturalist 🌿
(Monty from @dropout.tv's Cloudward, Ho!)

#D20 #art #CloudwardHo
Monty from D20's Cloudward, Ho! crouching forward on one knee. He is a black man with a while mustache and muttonchops wearing a big flat hat, a fringed jacket, jeans and cowboy boots. One one of his gloved hands is a stupid looking bird and he points excitedly towards it with another. He says "The Lesser Omen Bird!" and toothed plants flank him from the side.

Rest in peace, Miss Major, a staunch advocate for lgbtqia rights, and above all community action.

"...the ninety-nine percent of statues that celebrate one person, it’s bullshit. [...] those people didn’t get to do anything great without a damn crowd of people they worked with to get there.”

Bashir and O'Brien from deep space nine from that episode where they're play a lot of racquetball. Theyre both holding futuristic racquet paddles. Bashir is dressed in a slim one piece suit with toothpaste vibes and O'Brien is wearing loose workout clothes and a sweatband on his forehead

Here's the first half of my 8-page comic coming out in the anthology Concrete Arcanum: Living With Monsters

26 days left on the Kickstarter! www.kickstarter.com/projects/nat...

Below I'll explain it a bit!
title/first page of The Dance by Jack Taylor showing a statue of a trans man wearing workout clothes. He lifts his arm dramatically to the sky. He is draped in police tape. second page. a woman with red hair looks up at the statue while other people in the nearly empty square rush away, glancing with curiosity and concern. It's dusk and a jacaranda tree covered in purple flowers is in the background night now, the woman from before returns in a pink dress. pink grafitti directs her with arrows and says "join the dance" across the plinth where the statue stood. the statue is no longer on the plinth, but a stone eagle perches there. A gargoyle flies past the woman, surprising her page 4, the woman follows the gargoyle into a happy night time party with creatures and people meeting happily. there are statue cats, a tortoise and hare, a jobber, and others meeting. The man from the statue before looks up at the gargoyle

Really fascinating on what drove the significant increase in sodomy prosecutions in early C18 Paris – in large part a nosy lecturer at the Collège Mazarin collaborating with police, not the rise of the absolutist state...

Man, I was just reading about Jane Goodall this week for a project I'm working on about huge figures in science and ecology. She seems like she was a phenomenal scientist and advocate for her entire life, absolutely driven to her cause. May the rest of us be so lucky.

Jane Goodall, ethologist and conservationist, has died. She was 91
