RE: Hiveworks stuff, it's become really clear is how much of the toxicity of the leadership came from seeing fellow artists as competition and threats rather than comrades who lift each other up.

The world is big enough for all of us. I hope we can work together and fight our real enemy (fascists)
The dapper Bugs Bunny meme, with the text, "I wish all WEBCOMIC ARTISTS a very pleasant I'M NOT INTERESTED IN COMPETING WITH ANYONE. I HOPE WE ALL MAKE IT."

The black and white cover of a zine titled Do you make books? Yes? I want YOU to join Authors Against Book Bans! By Maia Kobabe. The image shows author Maia Kobabe holding a stack of books and pointing at the reader WHAT IS AABB? A coalition of writers, illustrators, editors & other book creators, standing united against the unconstitutional movement to limit the freedom to read. We support the availability of diverse voices in our libraries, in our schools, & in our culture. We pledge to band together against the oppression of literature, to speak when our voices are silenced, to go where our bodies are needed, & to fight to ensure this freedom. Our concern is not only for the books, but for the children, families, educators, librarians, & communities who suffer when the freedom to read is challenged and taken away. WHAT CAN AABB OFFER YOU? - Regional groups working on legislation to protect authors & the freedom to read state-by-state - Online trainings on digital security, public speaking, & how to counter book challenges in your community -Affinity groups for BIPOC authors, queer authors, authors with disabilities, indie, nonfiction, romance writers & more -Support if your book is challenged or your school visit is canceled! -A very active discord community Person: What if my book hasn’t been challenged? Maia: JOIN! Person: Ok, but what if I’m really busy and can’t do much organizing right now? Maia: JOIN ANYWAY! Even if all you do is sign up, your membership will help lend weight to the letters & statements AABB sends out. As of fall 2025, AABB has nearly 5000 members. Check out the open letter to publishers on AABB’s socials & feel free to share it with your publishing & industry contacts. An Open Letter to Our Publishers- instagram.com/p/DCzYmKcR8uq Maia: I’ve been facing intense challenges to my book since 2021. Knowing that I am not alone in the fight against censorship is what keeps my spirits up! Watching the folks in AABB share information, co-write legislation, show up to library & school board meetings, & speak up to publishers about the need to protect diverse books & minority authors has been amazing! This is a weird & scary time to be an author, but you are not alone! Join thousands of us fighting for the freedom to read, the freedom to write, the freedom to teach, the freedom to learn, & the freedom to share our stories! -Maia Kobabe, 2025

I regret to inform you all that my #hourlycomicsday strip from last year aged a little TOO well, so I’m just gonna repost it 😖
Three comic panels: 1) Me drawing neutrally at my desk, 2) me grabbing my head and screaming "ARRGHH I'M SO FREAKING TIRED!! WHYY IS THE WORLD LIKE THIS?!?!! AAAAAAAAAA" 3) Me in the same pose as before, drawing neutrally, but slightly disheveled this time, and saying, "...Okay, all better."

all art is made from spite or horniness, and a computer cannot be spiteful or horny, so a computer should never make art

since this will always be circulating, i might as well be the first one to put it here: the stretch tips i made many years ago… remember to stop and stretch and take care of your hands! be mindful of your work time & listen to your body.
a bunch of drawn diagrams of hand stretches. the text at the top reads MAKE TIME TO STRETCH! it shows wrist extensions and flexions, with the arm straight out and hand palm out with the hand gently stretched up and down. the same stretches with the hand in a fist. the same stretch but with the palm against a wall. a stretch of pressing your palms together with wrists parallel to the ground and slowly lowering the heels of the palms. and a gentle shaking out of the hands.
