House Republicans aren’t even in DC as the Trump Shutdown wreaks havoc on everyday people. We’re pushing vulnerable GOP representatives to call for a bipartisan deal to save healthcare. If you’re represented by a Republican, demand that they get back to work and end this government shutdown. 👇

CALL NOW: Tell GOP Representatives to get to work and end this shutdown

“The scheme provides unconditional, regular payments to eligible artists and creative workers, allowing them to focus on their practice without the pressure of commercial viability.”

“A cost-benefit analysis by Alma Economics found that for every €1 invested, society receives €1.39 in return.”

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

Yay it’s my book’s birthday; don’t yell about pubes in public

An angry character shouts in the distance, “I hope they step on a million stray legos. I hope they get an ingrown pube!” A second character in the background responds, “Jelly you gotta not yell about pubes in public. Also, mind the ice.” A nervous young person with freckles and short hair hides behind an evergreen bush in the foreground.

I feel like at least once a month I get into a mood where I can't stop thinking about this and how much it sucks. We spent most of human history painting on cave walls to tell stories and chiselling religious epics into stone and then suddenly in our tiny chunk of time all the adults went NO MORE

Like they can't enjoy a story if someone drew it. They can enjoy a painting, but not a story if it's drawn. Why?? There are so many things wrong with our culture, not allowing yourself to enjoy a story because it's made of art is so wild

It fucks me up that most adults can't take art seriously as a medium for storytelling. Like it's considered a normal thing for adults to enjoy going to a museum and hanging a painting in their house but they draw the line at reading a graphic novel because "comics are for kids". That's insane.

ladies of the living princess, theo stultz 🌬
theo has become something of a master of queer paranormal romances set in such well-laid historical fantasy settings, but if i had to pick a favorite part of his stories it's how reliably funny and human his characters are. another home-run!

Ladies of the Living Princess is now at ShortBox Comics Fair... my slightly scary medieval romantic fantasy... here's a preview...!
