If you love 8-Bit Theater or Atomic Robo, stop what you're doing and toss a couple bucks Brian Clevinger's way. It's hard out there for indie artists. It's expensive to be responsible with your health. The system won't take care of us, so we've got to take care of each other. 💗

Happy birthday to David Wojnarowicz, groundbreaking artist, writer & activist, who raged raged raged against inequity and injustice at every turn. If he hadn’t died of AIDS, like so many leading lights of his generation, he would have been 72 years old today (thread)

Picture of a coloring page with Eric and Ariel from The Little Mermaid, colored over with markers to make them look goth. Eric says "My top surgery went really well." Ariel says "That's great! My bottom surgery is next week."Eric and Ariel say at the same time "I can't believe we're both goth and trans!" Sebastian the crab is under them and says "I'm a communist!"

As a species, this discourse is at the macro level of our present struggle. Humans are animals. We're a part of nature; wild and diverse. Human-made systems of control and power are in opposition to that. They serve an inhuman, inorganic goal and the humans who spur them on fear both death and life.

Question for the editors out there (text/prose): Are there circumstances where an editor gets a percentage or some kind of cut when an IP they're associated with is optioned? I'd assume "no" is the universal answer, but I'm wondering if things work differently with tight author/editor duos.
