Sometimes ppl ask me my thoughts about Robert Crumb and whether I am in class or in person I will gleefully tell anyone:
Fuck Robert Crumb. Robert Crumb could die in the next five minutes and I would celebrate by having a drink. All my homies **HATE** Robert Crumb & he is a urine stain on comics 🙂🙃

Bob Crumb coming out of retirement just to say "RFK Jr. is right about vaccines and my ex-wife should've taken more advice from me" is such a fitting end to Boomer Americana and everything the "alt-comix" movement claimed to stand for

I wanted small pierced earrings (gold)
You gave me slippers (grey)
My mother told me she would scold
Unless I wrote to say
How much I liked it.
Not much.

For the uninitiated, Weird Al is a life long, church going Christian who has refused to make his parodies laden with adult themes because he thinks that is morally wrong. I am a die hard Weird Al fan and accept that’s he’s very socially conservative. When you’ve lost the Weird Al’s of the world…

glad that more people are looking back at HERO and how it was the real genesis of anti trans laws
IRW — a Pulitzer-winning nonprofit newsroom at American — and @thebarbedwire.com traced the history of anti-trans legislation. Houston conservatives realized homophobia didn’t fly anymore, weaponized girls’ safety, and parroted segregationist language. It worked.

the fact that patreon employees will just straight up say, to your faces now, "I stalked your other accounts and found something in a *cartooning style* that made me personally uncomfortable so I'm taking your income away" should be way more alarming to people.
◇Turns out it was a combination of Patreon thinking Karen and Emily looked too much like minors, and not wanting to mix sex and hypno bc that's inherently noncon and against the rules. After a few days of scrambling we abandoned our Patreon and set up our SubscribeStar.◇

What gets me is that fanfic/fanart creators have been talking about the subject of getting dogpiled, harassed, and pressured *for so many years now* about making dark/unsettling content, and let nobody listened to the canary in the coal mine because “stupid fandom drama”
alternatively we as a society could realize that fiction is about playing with dolls and that horrible things happening to them doesn't matter because it's all toys.
but that seems more complicated than just bringing back big box PC games and publishing books alongside them

It’s time their voices are heard at the same volume as CEOs earning millions.
