Here is one small thing YOU CAN DO RIGHT NOW. The animation industry is very very queer and neurodiverse. You can support this brave little underdog of a union IN LESS THAN 30 SECONDS.

Now more than ever is the time to stop clutching your pearls over queer art and fiction that you find "uncomfortable". You can, will, and have contributed to the mindset that queer art deserves censorship. Let people be freaks. DEFEND your freaks. Embrace the freak you've been hiding inside.

You are allowed to celebrate good things that are happening today: your birthday, a book coming out, new baby, new puppy, seeing your favorite piece of art in person, etc. Joy is the knife that stabs into the heart of despair & apathy. Feel your joys, big & small, & share them widely & loudly.

I was recently asked to talk about being a “content creator” and I had to flat out say I am not a content creator To reframe what I do as an artist to being a content creator is something the internet has been pushing for a while and I just refuse to give into it or allow my life to become that

Two boys wearing backpacks fist bump in front of a crowd of other students. The boy in the front smiles hopefully while the other has a cool, neutral expression with a shadow cast over his face.

A drawing of two characters, a white assassin an a black princess, where the assassin is hovering above the princess holding a dagger, but she has caught him by surprise and is hiding a dagger behind her back as well. They are framed by some curtains and flowers, and the palette is blue and pink.

be less afraid to create clumsy comics. awkward tangents. amateur lettering. weird sequentials and pacing. You Can Just Make it. you dont need to be trapped in a cycle of perfectionism and imposter syndrome when you could have a finished work instead. print that thing out and staple it!!!

Maybe I'm old and just can't keep up, but I think one reason social media is unpleasant to me is because with ads, recommendations, replies, and reposts, my feed always feels very foreign to me and the posts by people I actually follow are rare in my own feed (on tw and ig) Old lady yells at cloud

My small TCAF haul! I didn’t have much space in my tiny suitcase to bring things back, but I was so excited to meet so many artists I admired through the weekend.

A photo of my TCAF haul. So sorry there isn’t much energy for a descriptor. Pictured: Helen Jee, Rose Bousamra, Joni Miller, Winter J. Kiakas, the UTOT crew, Sunmi, Ann Xu, Cam Marshall, Kyla Aiko, Aria Villafranca, Sage Cotugno

I found these in another bag while packing, and of course it’s a photo of the lovely Nur Schuba and Adam de Souza.
