It's the end of the month! Please excuse the self-promo but vultures gotta vulch.

I'm KB Spangler, an indie author who creates comics with my patrner-in-crime, @alepresser.com

We have two comics. AGAHF is adult science-fiction: www.agirlandherfed.com

SIDE QUESTED is YA fantasy: sidequested.com

Charlie growling "Where have you BEEN?" at Peony the Vulture. Peony licks her chops and replies, "Vultures gotta vulch, babe."

Hey Team #Greensboro, ICE has been reported in the city but locations are spotty and I don't have Facebook, so if you do, please check. Looks like they might be setting up shop in town.

For the No Kings protest do I wear my business suit so law enforcement takes me seriously or my otter kirigumi so fellow leftists take me seriously

Friends, some advice if you plan on spending time outside in an animal costume, sharing for no particular reason:

-You will sweat a lot more than you think. Have water/snacks

-You cannot move well (the Left Shark guy is a trained experienced professional dancer). Don’t run or you’ll trip and fall.

Humans be humans and some of them make you want to flush twice to be sure.

Say what you want about Bari Weiss but she’s breaking ground by failing upwards at a rate previously unachievable by women.

A billion dollars is the socio-political equivalent of a loose nuke, and we should work as ruthlessly and diligently to prevent the acquisition of the former as we do the latter.

“The problem with billionaires isn’t that they’re hoarding money that would otherwise pay for a Scandinavian social utopia. It’s that their money has become a source of wildly distorted political power that allows a few men with extremist views to wreak havoc on the rest of us.”

Billionaires Are Hoarding Power, Not Money

I'm doing another print run of these "Biology is Bigger than Binaries" shirts!

Back, quite literally, by popular demand. Bullying works, sure, but so does a bunch of nice cutie patooties politely asking!

Order 'em now, I'll mail 'em in early November.

a woman with green glasses takes a selfie lookin' cool as hell in her pink biology is bigger than binaries shirt. She's also got ice cream, that lucky dog.

God if the outcome of all this is a discovery that a specific type of black mold makes you a weird bigot I'm gonna have a hearty chuckle then fill my pockets with stones and walk into a lake. We are now living in the mold age. The mildew years. The roaring fungis.

Suuuure it's the "molds" fault. Whats next, a very specific strain of mold that turns children's book authors into raging terfs?

I finally managed to draw a little grebe🪽

ヒナが難しかったです…(*ﾉдﾉ)

A mother and baby grebe are swimming in a pond. Two chicks are riding on the parent's back, while the other chick is rushing to get on the parent's back.

there’s this weird idea a lot of people seem to have about how all of us writers and artists must secretly want to use AI and are merely resisting temptation for ethical reasons, and like, no, it’s not hard for me to resist drinking the bowl of Piss With Glass In It actually
