Samantha Ferreira Is Creating An Anime Mag @sam-animeherald.bsky.social · 4h

As many of you know, I work in tech for my day job.

All I can say is that I've seen so many folks in that field (via dev conferences, mostly), who are so cooked, so completely reliant on the slop generators that shit's going to get weird when everything starts tumbling down.

I saw the dot coms crash from a front row seat. AI is running out of money way faster.

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

"They put me on suicide watch and they put me in the cell, I'm naked, in like a hospital dress and just a concrete bed with like a mattress, like a thin mattress and, they leave the light on 24/7."

@timmiller.bsky.social talked to a veteran who ICE wrongly detained and brutalized

I’m Rami, a father from Gaza.
The bombs may be silent, but the suffering never stopped. My children wake up hungry in a city turned to dust, no homes, no schools, no water, no hope. Every day feels like a battle to survive. Please, stand with us before we disappear.

Announcing my new short comic, "Fury"! My first self-published autobio in a while. Fury explores my complex relationship with anger and difficulties expressing it. The print version will be available to buy at Thought Bubble, with the digital version to be posted in full later in the year

Angry, snarling black wolf with "Fury" over it

Me from the chest-up, pasting on a polite smile

Me attacking the black wolf, my teeth sharp, nails sharp as claws and eyes also yellow like the wolf

Incredibly charmed people were doing this nearly 100 years ago but I've also gotten this occassionally on my art and stories and it makes my day every time. Incredibly silly but the raw earnestness of it... one of the best compliments one can recieve imo

Brainrot this, chronically online that...
Meanwhile some teenage girl in the 1930s was sending these to her faourite horror magazine:

Devil's Croft is enticing. Raggh---woof---grr---I like so very much.

If you can get me any more story-length poems like Lovecraft's Psychopompos---by all means 'gimme.'

Ah---ahaha---haw haww---chuckle!

I think whats gonna be the only diff between then and now is that *then* the dot com bubble bursting took out folks connected to it but this time the AI bubble bursting is gonna take out darn near everything all b/c ppl are putting their fingers in their ears and going lalalala all for a quick hit.

Aww thank you. I think theyll be okay. Its just a rough night.

Ummmm i don’t really know another way unfortunately. Sorry.

I just wanted to stop by and wish you and your friend well. Also, I wanted to ask if there is any other way of supporting the comic you made if we don't have the money to buy it?

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.
