i feel like this story is particularly important right now, because protein-maxxing is *so* in vogue. before working on this, i believed i was woefully protein deficient

it turns out that's just a myth that has been floating around for decades—the average american gets more than enough protein!!

The decision between “ask the coked-out robot to draw the building you’re literally sitting in” vs “send an intern with an iphone downstairs” is sure indicative of some things

This is really sad and unfortunate. I found these databases to be a fantastic resource and am bummed that they’re going away. But I’m grateful that they existed at all thanks to @marinaomi.bsky.social. She saw a way to help expand the comics community and made it happen.
