Read this right after watching Leigh Bardugo's video on leaning into discomfort, and would recommend the pair! (h/t @wilralston.bsky.social)

If you enjoyed our Comfort Reads panel two weeks ago (or 97 years ago, I honestly don’t know which) here’s a list of the books we mentioned!

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.

We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

I really want to draw a dragon tonight, but I also need to do the paying work which is to close read a 20-page outline that I'm going to discuss in a meeting tomorrow morning.

Inner devil says, 'do both.'
Inner angel reminds me what happens when I don't manage my sleep properly.

Outline, then.

Ooooooh I finally get to share the art for my super ultra secret holiday variant for SOMETHING IS KILLING THE CHILDREN 0!

This is one of my favorite things I’ve drawn in a while !!

I set out to write a very trope-y scifi story, but what came out was really a story about dementia. I never got to open up to my father about my writing pursuits before the dementia got the better of him, of all of us really.

Well done RollingStone for reporting it accurately.

Let’s talk #xmen and the recent run of #DAZZLER from the brilliant writer @jasonloo.bsky.social and artist @rafaloureiro.bsky.social . I have worked with some of the most iconic singers #gaga #beyonce #kylie etc. As the glam squad, been on tours and see how they move culture. A thread (1/9)

This is the perfect analogy.
If you want more people to run, you don’t give them mopeds.
If you want more people to make art, you don’t give them image generators.
This doesn’t “democratize” anything

#santacon2024 in NYC is the worst. It’s basically what the finance and tech bro’s have for straight pride. Obnoxious outfits and drunk attitudes. Not fun for anyone else. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 at least gay pride is entertaining and amazing outfits.
