Annual reminder that there was NOTHING in the drink: “Baby it’s Cold Outside” was written at a time when adult women had legal curfews and the singer is coming up with lies/excuses why she wasn’t home in time because she wants to make (consensual!) love to her man. Context is good.

From 1996-2009, numerous medical experts, school counselors, and trained therapists told a struggling child that she was “exaggerating” her autistic meltdowns and that masking was a wondrous miracle cure that would fix all her problems.

That child still doesn’t forgive you.

I love toys and cartoons and all sorts of fun stuff that inspires the worlds I create. This is a repro of a 1920s “googly” doll I found today. I’ll spare you most of the history but they’re tied closely to early women cartoonists and even suffragists. Howsabout that? #doll #womenshistory

It’s been one week and people here are extensively arguing with VERY obvious troll accounts 😬

Pro tip from a 2004 internet fossil: accounts w names like ILOVETRUMP and UrGenderIsntReal are made by fools intentionally stirring the pot. They’re trying to get a rise out of you. Block! Block! Block!

The most impressive part of the Joe Camel ad campaign was that it made a bunch of middle schoolers wish they were a 40-something-year-old man. Look at those crow’s feet! Dude celebrates his birthday every month to distract from his real age, too. I bet he flips out every time he finds a grey hair.

I’m not “anti AI.” I am anti GREED.

It’s not just generators over paid copywriters and artists. It’s also self scan machines over cashiers and call centers with extensive touch tone menus instead of human representatives.

AI did NOT start this fire. It just made it more obvious.

Fantastic furries, fierce feminism, and freakin’ fabulous fun bags… Oh yeah, I’m the kind of cartoonist/author your mama warned you about!!!

Thankfully, I am NOT the kind of cartoonist/author that she SHOULD have warned you about. #smutwriter #indieauthor #booksky

Libraries feel like something about which we could very easily be saying, “Remember that place where you could borrow books, for FREE, and return them when you were finished?” And kids would say “What?? No way!” And yet there they still are, despite everything we’ve become, existing. Remarkable.

I drew a really cool picture last night, but I think I want to add some more jewelry to my character first before posting it here and on my Newgrounds.

People like PLAYING with AI for fun, but as soon as you try to SELL them a product made by it, everyone gets mad, and I think that says a lot about the value of human creativity.

(Should be obvious but I don’t use AI in my books or art.)

Can we PLEASE make it Bluesky courtesy to properly tag your political posts so that people can block them? The amount of times I’ve ran into content I don’t want to see cuz a blocked word was hidden in a picture, or because someone dodged the filter with something like “Tramp And Mask” is insane!

Milton Clark clowning around. Done in the style of 1930s children’s book covers for fun. His story isn’t really kid friendly at all though. #amwriting #amdrawing

Trans week of visibility was last week but I’m sharing this meme I drew anyhow. Popeye may be the greatest cartoon character of all time.

There’s some cool comics history behind this pic but I’m too lazy ti write it all out right now.

FYI, you can remove your post from a troll quoting you. Here’s how.

My push to make the world a better place is within my stories. It’s one of my secret dreams to have someone come up to me in an #author signing and have them tell me my #books made them a less hateful person.

Serious question: How do I get the #political posts out of my feed for good? Seeing political debate is a huge trigger for me and the immense anxiety from it throws me into a manic episode really fast. Dead serious. Anyone know how to make it go away? It’s every other post. #bipolar #help

Ah! The scammers have started. I really feel at home now.

If you follow back what appeared to be a proper profile, and are met with "Hi, how's it going?" in DMs right away, just hit "block." They want your money.

Maybe I can get more #booksky attention if I sing a song! Ahem hem hem… 🎵Follow meeee, everything is alright, my books will help you fall asleep at night, and if you… like to read I can guarantee you won’t find no other books like these!🎶

So are there #authors besides me on #BookSky who post a lot of illustrations of their characters or am I gonna be all alone out here (again) while everyone else posts aesthetic pictures of their #novels surrounded by flowers?

Anyhow, here’s Smoky Smooth, one bad beer chuggin’, chain smokin’ dude.

The characters in one of my WIP books have particularly atrocious names. This guy is Ash Trae. His friends are Lucky, Piper, Winston, and Smoky. Har har har di har. Bad idea, probably! But the names are permanent fixtures in my brain, so they’re staying.

Introduction post! I’m Mylo, a genderfluid author of fantasy and fantasy romance stories for ADULTS.

Aside from writing, I also draw and make music.

My strategy for writing is to take an established trope and then twist it until it cries.

Oh yeah, and mental health matters. Peace!

A local toy store had old POP displays next to their dumpster. For those who don’t run a small business, cardboard displays like this are expensive as hell! It’s cheaper (and better for the environment!) to recycle old ones. My books look as snug as a bug in a rug. I just need to redecorate it…
