We are living through a time when corporations are treating artists like disposable fodder, more than ever. However, we somehow still have artists who think that simply having lots of followers and awards equals financial stability. We need to stick together. Don't be like this person.

REMEMBER: All the "Don't use em-dashes" "don't use rule of three" advice because it makes your writing "look like AI" is because they stole actual writers work, and their "predict the next thing" stuff just simulates what WE FUCKING DO. Keep writing well. Use every style and trick you have. Fuck AI.

If I wrote Captain America I would retcon his origin so he was bitten by a radioactive America.

Sooooooo this is just EA letting the studio know in advance they're all being laid off after launch and their workplace shuttered, but with extra steps. Gotcha gotcha.

Because "anti-woke" media not what *real people actually want,* dumbass. You can't will a billionaire-funded smear campaign into existence just by pretending it's true.

i wrote a post in 2020 for syfy about how screaming into the void was the chosen one of the day and i made a supercut of people screaming so here you go if you need it (this was the post, which unfortunately, is still how i feel 95% of the time authory.com/PreetiChhibb...)

lol the screenshot is so fucking ridiculous. I'm gonna hold your hand as I say this: Follower Count Don't Mean Shit. Especially not these days. It's a fully false metric of success. Even on Bluesky, where follower count is more meaningful than on other platforms, I see large accounts w/GoFundMes.

Holy shit. The New York Times used a EUGENICIST, with documented racist posts all over the place, as an anonymous source for a misleading hit piece on Mamdani. This is, like, Daily Mail levels of journalistic malpractice. I'm genuinely astonished.

I have so much to be joyful and grateful about and it's hard to even think about any of it while we have our representatives laughing about torture and racism and ableism and anti-science and anti-knowledge and imprisoning people who protest for their rights. Dark fucking times.

Never let them sleep again

factoid actualy just statistical error. average person eats 0 hot dogs per year. Hot Dogs Georg, who lives in a baseball stadium & eats over 10,000 each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

i picked a very bad week to try and finish my book bc turns out I need my brain to not be filled with The Horrors at least some of the time to write a rom com

BLACK PANTHER 🐾

I've seen a lot of "most americans won't even know this happened until it hurts them" and maybe that's true, but I have seen a LOT LOT LOT of people calling and pushing their reps this week, people who I don't normally see engaged at this level, so holding onto that right now

literally why

idk the pedant argument of "not all AI is bad, or "ppl are using AI anyway so" is so annoying, like, we are talking about a) generative ai built on stolen work, and b) ai that is breaking down human's cognitive abilities "but people use ai" ya ppl used to smoke cigarettes a lot more too 🤷‍♀️

I completely misinterpreted Punkitt's intentions with their reply to Kim Hu, and for that I can't apologise enough. I've deleted my post(s) as it would be extremely shitty to keep them up after reading the below clarification.

I wish to work with liberals but the problem I keep seeing is that liberals’ main plan is to see who to cut off from protection, not how to extend reach to protect the vulnerable

My advice is there is so much more to enjoy out there, much of which is created by people who are already dead.

update for those interested in hearing about my janked-up bod: it turns out the best quick-fix device you can buy to fix your physiological problems is a full year of physical therapy

I do, and obviously, what we're talking about here is a small matter compared to what others are facing. But being unable to feel joy because you know how people are being deliberately targeted is still a nasty side effect of these garbage people.

Timeline cleanse 💖💖💖

Remember how Veilguard was considered a massive failure when it sold over a million copies in it's first month? Or how Square Enix's expectations for Tomb Raider had them wanting the player base to double and triple between games? No one making these numbers has any idea what they're doing

I have a song stuck in my head, I cannot for the life of me remember the name. It’s from the 60s, there’s this guy, he’s bound homeward, he keeps saying that, like, after every verse, couple times, right? I mean, big deal, I go home all the time, ever day, but I don’t sing about it.

Every single Dem that is out here sending fundraising emails and texts after this can go fuck and should be primaried to hell and back immediately

reply to this and show me something great you made — art, food, whatever, I wanna see human beings making good things

If you can't get through on the phone, you can also fax some of them!! faxzero.com/fax_congress...

Tonight’s screening, a little rarity you probably never heard of.

find their contact info here: reps.fyi if you can't get through on the phone, fax them faxzero.com/fax_congress... if you can't fax them, send an email through their websites TELL THEM TO VOTE NO in the most conservative way you can--state's rights, hurting economy, etc, say what you need to!

We can be shocked at how Trump’s approval ratings have not cratered. But you don’t have to be a history expert to know that this is the phase of fascism when the movement’s followers suddenly become unspeakably cruel and violent toward their peaceful neighbors. A switch has been flipped.

When one bed simply is not good enough

Are we...just ignoring that the photos are overwhelmingly full of women and the reply is clearly sarcastic?

If anyone wants a crumb of hope and good news, from a subject matter expert:

Long face

Incredible. There are no estimates or claims that there are 65 million “undocumented” people in the U.S. She is definitely referring to the exact number of Latinos. #heiltrump

just got my FB account restricted for posting a link to my bigcartel - apparently I'm soliciting sexual services by selling stickers. I'm so fucking done with Meta and their bullshit.

This has been subtext since 1964. It’s text now. The “Southern Strategy” is not subtle and it is not obscure. The GOP chose white supremacy as its #1 vote-getter and it has doubled and tripled down ever since.

THE SHAPE OF ELVIRA @therealelvira.bsky.social @realgdt.bsky.social

Every time I open Threads it becomes immediately apparent how and why we got to where we are. Depressing AF

There is a difference between separating the art from the artist... and separating the transaction from the art. If your method of engagement with the art funnels funding to a hate group, or clout someone will weaponize it, the art is not the issue.

God damn Superman, who does he think he is anyway?

Man, something like this would be life-changing for SO many of the folks I know working in comics.

nobody told you to talk that shit. Now you’re blocking and hiding

Bullied by the Billionaire-In-Chief, the spineless ⁦‪@GOP ‬⁩ sells out poor MAGA voters and adds 5 TRILLION to our exploding national debt passing the Big Beautiful Billionaire Bonanza Bill. Those midterms can't come too soon!

The more the merrier! Here's my original Nancy remix from almost forty years ago! Done shortly before I created the "5 Card Nancy" game referenced in the comments to the quoted strip below.

Just realised that in Australia the Thong Song is about a foot fetish

Things used to be easier. And by that I mean: I didn’t know as much and didn’t pay attention to as many things.

Starting to seriously wonder if it will be safe for trans people anywhere in the US within the next couple of years

God I am so fucking tired

I dunno. I'm getting a real "bitch eating crackers" energy from anyone who thinks an artist with a lot of followers is making things up when they say they are having difficulty making money.

being able to drive this on a regular basis is about all that's keeping me from a complete mental breakdown these days

lmao, this guy is the dumbest human being ever to roll across the surface of the earth

miles to go before Sunday’s now SOLD OUT screening of DOGMA but it’s a start

"i used ai to make a picture book for my kids" i will use ai to make a robot that will put a glock directly into your mouth

always LOVED this cover, an absolute masterpiece

Stress stress stress stress stress

I liked JURASSIC WORLD REBIRTH! Nowhere near as good as the original, but what is? Pretty shallow plot and cast but Jonathan Bailey plays the first genuinely charming protagonist since the first one and there's lots of great dino set pieces. I had a good time!

Orders being taken now for my new creator owned title, SYNTHETICS, coming in October from Dark Horse: a near-future science fiction story about what happens when we decide to create synthetic humans to save a poisoned earth. Will we let them save us or revert to our worst selves?

in my heart i just want to be a circuit-gay; please donate to crowdfund my lobotomy

I am SO FUCKING TIRED of this shit, and it's only getting worse

Visited my dad at the hospital earlier (he is doing well) and heard a story I don't recall hearing before. Apparently, he saw Tucker Carlson in a public restroom 20+ years ago. Tucker didn't wash his hands.

Wait, the bill to expand the film and TV tax credit program was AB 1138? 👀

To give credit where it belongs, David is the one who decided to (and fought for) her to move to New York. I just got her on a computer for the first time (which Angela appreciated, made her feel less archaic).

This is JUST THE BEGINNING

Iron Man versus Magneto ☝🏾 🤓 “actually iron man’s suit is not made of iron, it’s made of titanium alloy.” 😤 “ACTually, magneto is not ferrokinetic, he controls the entire magnetic field.”

Damn this guy knows me so well

Today is the birthday of Jerry DeFuccio (July 3, 1925-Aug. 10, 2001), who worked as an assistant editor for Harvey Kurtzman at EC Comics, and an associate editor & writer for Mad magazine for 25 years This is a piece by C.C. Beck that he inked for the 10th edition of the Overstreet Price Guide.

Finally, an Independence Day that means something! Sick of celebrating a day that colonizer middle-managers were free to be top-level colonizers? Celebrate independent bookstores instead.

“Foolish? Kendra, I'm a guy who wears wings, an Edgar Rice Burroughs body harness, and a hawk's head. Everything I do is foolish. Don't follow my lead.” ————-HAWKMAN (Words by Walt Simonson)

I knew this was going to happen, I just was hoping I'd be pleasantly surprised.
