I've had an uptick in folks asking if there will be a HELLAWEEN 3, and that's dependent on you!

I REALLY WANT TO and have a story ready to go+ my colorist is in... but if publishers aren't going to market, and I can only do so much myself— word of mouth is gold to me! ESPECIALLY while its October!

Andre's in a really tough situation and could really use some help. I'm boosting this to nudge it along.

I know it's a brand new month but if you have a few coins to spare, this is a disabled trans bud, just forced from his home, who could really REALLY use a bit of help!

I will continue to encourage anyone who listens to start a journal instead of spewing their half-formed reactionary ideas at unsuspecting strangers on the internet.

I haven't drawn for myself for a long time and also i'm going to be at Thought Bubble this year and I'm hoping to have something new ready by then

A demon on a cross. Or an angel. I haven't decided yet.

I cannot emphasize this enough:

The regime has overextended itself. It is vulnerable to protest and dissent.

They have not consolidated power and we are entirely capable of keeping them from doing so.

Doomers are not realists.

i dont have a kinder way to put this: it's lazy. "you can fight this unjust situation by doing and saying nothing!!!" thats not how things work. shutting up en masse has never fucking worked. IT JUST DOESNT WORK!!! STOP SUGGESTING THINGS LIKE THIS!

even just sending [1] email would achieve more!

actions that will contribute more to pushing against bluesky's censorship than a blackout:

-submitting a feedback request
-@ing moderation about it
-commenting on mods posts about it
-making and sharing memes (ex: "i consent!" sticker)
-leaving an app store review
-just generally posting about it

Managed to draw a little stress doodle of Hazael for @ashworks.bsky.social

Always love this subtly menacing vampman

A bw portrait shaded with digital markers. It's a man with pale layered hair just above the shoulders. He looks kind of calmly menacing with bright eyes and a dark background. There is a spot or two of blood on his skin and staining his white shirt. You have the sinking suspicion that he may be a vampire

Having done lettering for localized work and having had some measure of fluency in Japanese in the past, you are completely correct. The other issue is (not trying to drag anyone publicly rn)... translation is one skill, cultural competence is another, and writing is yet another.
