Reminder that if you're trans like me every day you're alive is a protest. If I keep making art that's a protest. My body and heart are broken many times over; I'm not gonna beat myself up about what extra I "could be doing" beyond the help I already give to others. Cis/abled folks can step tf up.

Social media basically is making the concept of names lose all meaning for me. Every other post is just somebody talking about some name talking about some other name. I have no idea who most of these people are and I'm trying to figure out if they're an existential threat to me or just noise.

I'm convinced there's an amazing mashup to be had between Joywave "Now" and Metric "Now or Never Now" but I lack this skillset. XD

Hey you

Actually

You can know what animals look like irl

By observing them irl

You won't get fooled as much by ai, that way, but more importantly you'll have seen a lot of cool animals??? 🤷

For webcomics, please talk about them! Like, subscribe, tell other folks about the work you like <3

If you like an author's work, the best thing you can do is buy it. The second best thing you can do is ask your local library to buy it. Or, do both!

A reminder that the median book deal for a debut author in the UK is £7000, paid over 12-18 months. (from 2022 Society of Authors report). Some of your favourite writers are struggling. societyofauthors.org/2022/12/06/a....

#Comics #Bluey #MST3k

A comic strip based off of the television show "Bluey." It is recreating the opening theme, where four anthropomorphic dogs dance in a blue background. In the first panel, three of the dogs are pointing at the mother dog, who has the word "mum" over her. In the second panel, three dogs are pointing at the father dog, who has the word "dad" over him. In the third panel, suddenly Tom Servo from the television show Mystery Science Theater 3000 is hovering in the middle of the panel. He is a res robot made out of a gumball machine. He has the words "Tom Servo" floating over him. The dogs look surprised and alarmed. In the final panel, Crow T Robot from Mystery Science Theater 3000 has also joined in, he is a gold robot made out of a bowling pin, athletic wire mask, and other stuff, and he is practically popping out of the panel at the viewer. The word "Croooow!" floats over him. The dogs just look confused now.

Injecting weed IS for dummies, tho. You gotta smoke, vape, or ingest it. XD

Stuffing because what even is that stuff? It's superfluous, imo.
