This Native American Heritage Month I would like to bring it to everyone's attention that @nebula.tv doesn't have a single Native video essayist on the platform.

Nebula also platforms several major content creators with a history of anti-Indigenous racism and biases.

Demand better.

Today you're going to see the images of my ancestors dead and frozen in the snow in the aftermath of the Wounded Knee Massacre that took place today 135 years ago.

This is what Chief Big Foot looked like when he was alive, because we're people before we're corpses white people can propaganize.

Ruth Wilson Gilmore's definition of racism gets at why it's not something that can be ignored: "the state-sanctioned and/or extralegal production and exploitation of group-differentiated vulnerability to premature death". --- THE PREMATURE DEATH part is not something that can be "ignored"

In the past week, I've seen stories of AI:
- being used by middle schoolers to make porn of other students
- calling innocent people sex offenders
- shutting down highways with busted-ass self-driving cars
- emitting more CO2 than New York City

What the fuck are we even doing?
New from me: The storied fiddler Ashley MacIsaac wanted to play a show at a Nova Scotia First Nation. It got cancelled because Google's AI search summary incorrectly called him a sex offender. Now he's worried for his safety www.theglobeandmail.com/culture/arti...

Fix your settings.

I don't know when they added this piss but all mine were set to 'hide

Fuck this shitheel team.
Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Here's how to turn it off.

Let's talk #AvatartheLastAirbender, cause...i got thoughts.

The Fire nations genocide of the Airbender peoples, is a very...blanket statement. I can accept the idea that the vast majority of the monks died in thr initial assault, and even that the Fire nation hunted down stragglers, BUT;

There are too many to choose from, for so many reasons. But today? It's the Arcadia, from Harlock: Space Pirate (2013). I always loved the Arcadia, and the darker, haunted take in the 2013 movie? *Chef's Kiss*

the appetite for comics has literally never been greater, the profile has never been higher, and the talent has never been as varied and as interesting and we still don't pay people what their labor is worth!
"Let’s say 20 years ago the rate for a page of pencils was $150. People still get paid that."

My work is largely in the book market, buuuut yeah.

BOOM! recently reached out to offer an IP gig with the following rates:
script $50/page, pencils&inks $150/pg, colors $50/pg
The one about comic book page rates – again. News flash: Comic book page rates are STILL stagnant, after all these years, and for indie cartoonists it's even harder

Something worth noting: Rockstar is leaning HEAVILY on the excuse that the unionising employees were "leaking private company information"

They want people to assume this means game info or assets.

But I will bet you CASH MONEY this translates to:

'they were comparing salaries and work contracts"

ICE grabs father by the neck—send him into violent seizure while his arms lock up around his toddler.

"He's having seizure and they're trying to rip the baby out of his hands!"

Agents then handcuff him—before putting in ambulance with his child.

According to an old interview on NPR if you spent $1,000 every day it would take you 2.7 MILLION YEARS to spend a trillion dollars. It‘s absolute madness that we have a society where one person can have all that.
People are On Here begging for food. People are on the street begging for food. People are starving to death in the United States, in Sudan, in Palestine. And we're letting Elon Musk have A TRILLION FUCKING DOLLARS.

Influencers target everyone, but nothing’s scarier than seeing kids grow up in a world of manufactured hype.

Adults are no different with talking head podcasters like Joe Rogan or Nick Fuentes.

These people get turned into monolith's when they are just assholes farming engagement for cash.

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video.

I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children.

But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

Ya'll don't give indie comic creators enough credit.

Do you know how much effort it takes to illustrate a single picture?

Apply that several times over to one comic page.

Now apply that to one person drawing all the comic pages.

Yeah. It's a lot of work.
