Ignoring black content until it's successful and only talking about it in February is the lamest kind of support.

Be better then that.

Hot tip when looking for comics collaborators, PLEASE 🙏introduce yourself in your first email. Mention what you've made before, or share your socials if you're active. It's one of the only ways artists can separate true indies from scammers.

Aha.
So I wrote a book.
Would be pretty cool if you got it when it came out.
It Ends With Z by @blubat.bsky.social comes out March 2026!

What happens when the God of Chaos, who's forced to be a villain of everyone's story, decides to seek out some form of peace?

It was 10 years ago today that I hopped onto Twitter dot com and declared a new indie press was born. I haven't looked back since. 🔥🖤

Every comic in HOW TO TOUCH GRASS presents a different model for how to connect to the outside world.

If you've been feeling disconnected and unsure how to break back into "real life", then you'll want to go follow HOW TO TOUCH GRASS on Kickstarter: buff.ly/AL7SfF0

This one's for you. 🧑‍💻📱👉🌾🌿🧡 ✨

I keep hearing that the Epstein files are so big if we held everyone accountable everything would collapse. And no it wouldn’t. These rich guys don’t do any actual work. They aren’t actually important or useful they are just rich.

valentine's day isn't just for couples, it's also a day to celebrate love. for instance, i would love it if housing prices came down.

Hamzah buying Yara cutesy keychains & harassing Nuhro at the same time (pre-dating era, he lost a bet to her- purposefully Nuhro would argue. Post dating he'd buy these for her anytime, all the time.) The man is normally nonchalant & easy going, but if he's close with u he can be an absolute menace.
