I gave y'all the vaguest quote humanly possible for the preview post tomorrow. You can fight me then lol.

Also Patrons will not update tomorrow. It will be pushed back to next week. And the public will MISS an update next week to even it out. :) Thanks!

I myself am queer and I have a queer as fuck comic. And while my comic isn't nsfw, two supporting characters have already canonically had sex in it. (I wonder if anyone caught it. 😏 It's only hinted at.)

NSFW censorship ALWAYS leads to more, namely queer censorship. Allowing the new TOS changes without a fight will only make things worse for all of us. I was there for the tumblr changes years ago; I know how this goes.

also one way to look at this: This bill is comparable to a US version of europe's Chat Control proposal

so it needs to be taken seriously

Ugh, this website lately. If you weren't able to read all of the update yesterday, please check the site again. It should be corrected now. The update was *3* pages and the site decided to just... not post it even though it was scheduled???
It's fixed now. 🙇🏾‍♀️

Wow. Who knew animated films could have mass appeal. Gee whiz it's almost like the female poc director was able to make the film she wanted to make and her vision flourished/grew in the hands of skilled artists, animators, musicians and actors without Ai being shoved down their collective throats.

Howdy, I'm sick. Nothing serious, but I'm pushing the update back a week for *everyone*, patrons and public. It'd just make things worse to rush the update on my current state so I am talking a few days to rest and recuperate. 🙇🏾‍♀️ Humblest apologies. I will get back to drawing as soon as possible!

Shit is hard and **expensive** and even if we werent living in American fascism, I still dont recommend Indie-Animation for everyone.

But its still a beautiful, perhaps selfish but still spiritually fulfilling thing to believe in your own art (and yourself) to want to communicate with it.
