Inspired by the IndieWeb movement, and increasingly unhappy with big tech corporate media, I've decided to change my Facebook account to be just for the family and friends who are still there. Information about projects for fans of my illustration and writing will be posted on StuartRobertson.ca

It’s Election Day in Canada. I’m really hoping we elect the Liberals tonight, despite their flaws. Hopefully there aren’t enough Maple Maga voters to open the door wider to the chaos from south of the border. 🇨🇦

Everyone always assumes OSR is politically right wing coded but the fact that it’s constantly splinting into factions that most disagree on terminology is actually incredibly left wing coded

Canadian stores have started making it much clearer what was made here in Canada and what was imported from other places like the US. It started with grocery stores but is spreading to other places as well. 🇨🇦

Just draw the fuckin thing yourself. The imperfection is part of the charm. The fact that you drew it is the whole fuckin point. Don't embarrass yourself engineering a prompt, just pick up whatever you have at hand and give it a go. Be a human being.

Your "dumb little projects" are so important during this harrowing time. Don't forget that. Your creativity has value, for yourself and for the world.

Cartoonists, I'm begging you: have your own website with your comics on it. You can post them elsewhere too if you want, but I'm telling you, do not ever rely on a social media platform to keep you afloat. They're not there to make you money, they're there to make money off you.
