If you haven't heard, the em dash has been getting a lot of attention lately… 🧵👇

With so many people talking about and posting art, I finally bought a new mechanical pencil that hopefully will help me get some drawing done. The rubber part of the old one was falling apart and using it felt a bit icky.

Also, congratulations everyone who made something this year. A comic, a song, a film, a novel, a painting, a poem, a short story, a sculpture, crochet, embroidery, whatever it is. In this era of slop and theft, if you *make* something you are a shining jewel and I am so grateful for you.

The handmade, human qualities of your work are more valuable than they've ever been. Don't doubt that for a second.

1. alright folks, let's talk about alt text.

more specifically, WHY proper use of alt text is important from the perspective of somebody who needs it.

When the job application lets you choose "other" as your gender but you're not sure if this is the time to come out

If you tell people you like the art they make, you will eventually reach the creative people who screencap compliments and save them in a special folder to read through when times are hard. I have 5MB of one individual being rad about my writing. They have their own FOLDER. Be that person.

I decided to give My Dress-Up Darling a try (watched two episodes) and I did get a little emotional when Marin asked why gender should matter when you like something. I also really appreciate how she is open about her own passions and tells others to stand up for themselves, too.

If you want to make a webcomic, don't wait until you're "good enough". That moment may never come. In my personal case, my art improvement came after I started my webcomic, through practice and drawing in it.

If you're scared about your comic being ugly, remember the original One Punch Man.

I'm sorry I'm emotional now.

I saw a tiktok that showcased all the arcs in the One Piece anime and it made me realize how long we have been with the crew, and each other as fans. And in that time there have been adventures worth a lifetime.

I'm team subs but even I recognize the value of dubs made by real professionals. Do you really think AI can ever achieve the level of nuance a voice actor can? ACTORS have the emotional capacity, ACTORS know that their lines signify, ACTORS will give the performance your customers are after.
