I was waiting for #meetthewebcomic Day to introduce White Noise to the new folks here! May I offer you a webcomic about queer monsters and trying times in this trying time?

Arc 1 is all done so there's a whole archive to binge before I start updating again on December 8!

Sketchbook warmups from yesterday and this morning. #art

a kraft paper sketchbook laying open on a desk. the left page is covered in loose red marker sketches of hands in different poses. the right features three small pen studies of backgrounds (a Japanese building, a set of steps ascending in the woods, and a forest viewed through the silhouette of ornate windows), a few tiny cartoon Mareep, and studies of bottles and plants.

I can't justify the upfront cost atm mostly--I can see myself getting extremely into aquarium setups though, especially with plants. One of these days.

Everyone's familiar with the leucistic versions but there's so many cool morphs. Just splendid little guys

The problem with looking at axolotls for creature design purposes is I keep thinking about how fun it might be to have a couple...

These dudes are salesmen and any outlet that uncritically reports what they say are doing sponsored content without disclosing it.

The worst thing that happened to me today in Portland is that someone was vaping on the MAX light rail. The nerve of that guy.

I must not nap. Nap is the day-killer. Nap is the little-sleep that brings total obliteration (to my afternoon.)

It sucks out there!!

Before I went to school for animation my earliest real ambition was to write novels (which is why WN has such a heavy writing element to it--it was prose, a long long time ago) and boy it is depressing to see every medium I've ever liked get smunched down like this!!

crepuscular type guy @thephooka.bsky.social · 8d

Wrt musing the other day about indie animation...seems like prose publishing is having the same issues. Man. thewalrus.ca/the-publishi...

Jean Marc Ah-Sen, who has published several books with small and independent presses, feels that he and his peers are being crowded out of their own game. “I used to think that the frontier of literary culture was the indie presses,” he says. “But when a person who has done three books with Penguin gets pushed down, it makes less room for the people who were doing the independent stuff to begin with.”

Please call your reps about KOSA today. Especially if they're Republican. This is THE priority

alpha @omarsbigsister.bsky.social · 11d

Are you kidding me right now? This is the last thing we need. KOSA is back no thanks to Senator Blumenthal who is working with the GOP and bringing in Republican Senators to convince the House to support it.

Please, CALL GOP House leadership and tell them to keep opposing it!

For some reason I got an email inviting me to comment on OSTP's plan to promote AI """innovation""", so here's the link if you'd like to give them a piece of your mind. www.federalregister.gov/documents/20...

White House OSTP Issues RFI on Regulatory Reforms to Promote AI Innovation
Thank you for contributing to the over 10,000 public comments to the Office of Science and Technology Policy’s (OSTP) Request for Information that informed America's AI Action Plan. Since the Action Plan’s launch in July, OSTP has been working to implement over 100 policy actions identified across its three pillars: Accelerate AI Innovation, Build American AI infrastructure, and Lead in International AI Diplomacy and Security.

As specified in the AI Action Plan, OSTP has opened another call to industry, researchers, and the public to identify regulatory reforms that would promote AI innovation.

Given your contributions to the AI Action Plan RFI, we would welcome your response to the AI Regulatory Reform RFI, which will help us identify existing Federal statutes, regulations, agency rules, guidance, forms, and administrative processes that unnecessarily hinder the development, deployment, and adoption of AI technologies within the United States.

Please find additional information, including guiding questions, and submission instructions here. The deadline to submit a response is 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Monday, October 27, 2025.

Great article. Also, I’ve never heard of this podcast but wow what a devastatingly bad first impression, lmao

"seduction of fascism." On the "Know Your Enemy" podcast, which is billed as "a leftist's guide to the conservative movement," the hosts complained that the left doesn't offer artistic transcendence like what was offered from a bunch of musicians playing B-rate adult contemporary tunes in a football stadium.

They establish her name is Francesca in the first five minutes or so, Guinevere calls her and Andi by their full names. So I noticed, but it doesn't matter if it's a one-off bit or has an actual reason. The behavior of people towards the creators is disgusting.

All that money and dude can't even get his pants hemmed to fit

crepuscular type guy @thephooka.bsky.social · 11d

That's reductionist. It's more that a lot of people don't feel they have any control over their own lives (and given what's going on, maybe they don't) taking it out on someone they can reach, bc they don't have any self-insight or care to, I guess.
