For the remainder of the year, I will be sending 100% of received personal commission funds to PIRC (Portland Immigrant Rights Coalition). This is not a decision made lightly, as I live paycheck to paycheck from my dayjob, but a min. sacrifice on my part nonetheless.

u can read about them here:

i think lots of people underestimate how badly these “AI” companies want people to be unable to afford computers. they view personal computing as a roadblock to their desire for complete end-to-end centralization. the fact that their tech is putting hardware out of reach is not just a happy accident

Double-post today!!!!

Worked on this collaboration with @hanlinacademic.bsky.social & @sleepyneedle.bsky.social to make a mock-cover for their translation of the danmei 追声与循途 , (Trace of Our Harmonies). I painted with their input and insightful knowledge of form and music 🥰❤️‍🔥

Painting by guoldu of two men in the Swiss countryside by a lake. One sits, back to the sunlight, playing a piano while the other leans against it looking fondly as he plays. The music pages swirl off the top of the piano and into the sky

A year ago, I proposed making a web ring for independent presses! And - tada! The Indie Press Webring connects independent publishing houses. We're small, and we need your help spreading the word so we can grow.

Readers and Press folks alike, check it out: indiepresswebring.com

It is simply never a bad time to think about the architectural design in Adolescence of Utena
a shot of ohtori tower surrounded by incomplete half crescent balconies jutting out from various buildings, the framing and steelwork nakedly visible utena ascending a staircase precariously and impossibly hanging over a mix of abstract shapes that constitute buildings ohtori academy glows as anthy turns out the lights juri and the fencing club stand in front of a deconstructed wall cut through with white and red paint, its windows stained glass with abstract shapes - some filled, some not.

My physical proof is FINALLY in hand! Look at it, she is so beautiful!
The first page of The Night Sweeps the Mountains Away by Tanvir Ahmed. Beneath the Chapter One title, there is a verse in Pashto. Then below that, the text of the chapter begins. Yes, my Christmas tree is still up in the background.

Discord advises UK users that they "may be part of an experiment" where instead of their age verification data never leaving their phone, it will now actually leave their phone
www.eurogamer.net/discord-advi...
Notice reading: "Important: If you're located in the UK, you may be part of an experiment where your information will be processed by an age-assurance vendor, Persona. The information you submit will be temporarily stored for up to 7 days, then deleted. For ID document verification, all details are blurred except your photo and date of birth, so only what's truly needed for age verification is used."

The metaphor isn’t what you’d think in inee’s debut manga, LOVE BULLET, a yuri love letter to the meet-cute and the shoot-shoot. @yenpress.com
Manga Review: LOVE BULLET VOL. 1 Some girls just like fighting
Love Bullet Vol. 1 Writer/Artist: inee Translator: Masaaki Fukushima Letterer: Aila Nagamine Publisher: Yen Press / $13 December 2025 Stop me if you’ve heard this one. If you die before falling in love, you don’t get a second chance, but you do get an opportunity to get one. A cupid, which you have just been reborn as, can earn the favor of the gods by matchmaking, with the better match yielding a bigger bounty.
