Oh gosh lots of new folks. Hi, I’m Holly! I work in comics, play games of varying kinds, and I read a lot. I am a tall gremlin, a moderately socially acceptable swamp witch, a hoodie made sentient.

Also, I make art with bones and stuff. Here are some old pieces in varying stages! I should do more.

Two magpie skulls carefully affixed to a hagstone. It’s art by me!

A magpie skull in a terrarium full of stone, crystals, a robin’s nest, and driftwood. It’s more art by me!

A reconstructed femur bone from a midsized unidentified land critter, along with a small plant and unidentified small critter. Displayed in a tall cylindrical vase with soil and stones. Art by me!

A round terrarium with a living red sensitive plant, moss, and the jawbone of a fox with mushrooms and crystals. More art by me!

Practicing my Italian by watching the dub of Kpop Demon Hunters and this scene is somehow even funnier when they’re just yelling “siiiiiiiiiii”

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

Oh yeah, it's a manga thing! I feel like I don't see it as much in new ones I pick up, but it could be generational depending on the artist. A quick search in Japanese shows ppl calling it フキダシの内側(に)しっぽ or フキダシの中にしっぽ which both basically mean "balloon with the tail on the inside"

Dave Kellett @davekellett.bsky.social · 3d

I’ve never seen this before! An *inward-indicating* word-balloon tail (that’s the speaker’s right arm descending below the word balloon).

FASCINATING! Does this tail technique have a name? Have folks seen it used elsewhere?? I have so many questions!!! (From HIRAYASUMI, book 3, pg 37)

#Comics folks, I need you to pull up to this one.

The world sucks right now, and we have the opportunity to do a little bit of good for a displaced and marginalized member of our community. Please join me in supporting this KS campaign!

www.kickstarter.com/projects/den...

If you're somebody who values supporting marginalized voices in comics, here's your chance to put your money where your values are!

The writer of this RINGO NOM’D INDIE COMIC (and a very dear friend of mine) is a Syrian Refugee who has been through more continuous hardships than I have space to list here; constantly navigating visa applications, unstable living conditions, predatory landlords (limited options as a refugee).

Anas just wants to make comics and live a normal life like what so many of us take for granted. Backing this campaign will help Anas to take the next step toward freedom and autonomy, helping to fund a move to another country with more stable employment options. This is truly one of the most important comics purchases you will ever make.

Middle Eastern and North African comics creators are some of the most underrepresented in the comics industry of the western world. Anas isn’t running a GoFundMe to support this move, and is not asking for charity. Simply, Anas is using their talent for storytelling, along with Dennis’ gorgeous art, to offer you a beautiful experience in the comics medium, that also goes toward funding a better life for Anas.

I’m so proud of Anas, and humbled by their experiences and perseverance. I would like to see Anas’ Dream realized, and I’d love to see this community help to make that happen. Please join me in pledging to the Etheres Kickstarter campaign! (link below).

It is amazing how much the brain does when you tell it to take a break and go on a walk.

Mariah McCourt @monsterteatime.bsky.social · 3d

When I struggled with something writing-wise I take a walk. And 100% of the time I end up figuring out the solution. I would never, ever, ever, ask a machine to do that for me. Wtf.

The Constitutional crisis you've been waiting for is here.

The right moment to speak up—that moment of clarity you've been waiting for—that's here too.

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

fanart of Melinoe from Hades 2, wearing a modern outfit (dark jeans, orange top), she has a big tattoo on her right arm, and is about to tie her hair with a hair band (is this how it's called in english ?)
her eyes are closed, she has nice arm muscles and looks extremely lesbian

fanart of Eris, from Hades 2, she's sitting, right leg with her knee bent, in front of her
right hand on her right foot, left hand on her face, framing her left eye between two fingers
she's wearing big sneakers, micro shorts, some sort of sweater with stripes showing her shoulders

fanart of Medea from Hades 2, but wearing modern clothes (tiny leather shorts with double belt, red/purple leather crop top), a nose ring, necklaces, also big tattoo covering the entire left arm (a snake, a moon crescent, flowers and leaves)
She's sitting, resting on her left hand, her right hand next to her face, conjuring some plague magic that bathes her in green light

I made a quick little dumb Taka comic.

Panel 1 - Star looking down at an empty ice cream cone, she looks upset.

Star - Aw poop.

Panel 2 - down on Star's foot is a ball of mint ice cream that has fallen off the cone.

Panel 3 - Star looking shocked "!" as Taka hands her an ice cream.

Panel 4 - Star hugging the ice cream cone, she's crying tears of joy "Taka, -sniff-, you must really care to -sniff- give me your ice cream..."

Taka looking back, not really caring. "my ice cream?"

Panel 5 - Taka holding her ice cream cone, hooking a thumb at Gator. She's saying "fuhk that. it's gator's."

Star smiling bashful holding Gator's ice cream.

Gator in the background upset, yelling. "Oi! That punk nicked me ice cream!"
