discord casually admitting they know that nobody wanted the age verification implemented and trying to be funny about it is seriously something that the pr team should reflect on and really study when they lose a lot of nitro subs in this next week

This is the sort of thing you'd pitch as the premise for a series of YA thrillers with cyberpunk vibes. The sequel would involve a school trip that's just openly called the Lord of the Flies tour.

The Emma Frost x Miss Piggy comic has hit the internet and it's so, so, so much more magnificent than I ever could have hoped for

Emma Frost: "Emma Frost, darling. I'm a telepath. May I read your mind to ascertain if you're telling the truth?"

Miss Piggy: "But of course, darling I am an open book, a tell-all memoir."

Emma Frost telepathically witnessing the entirety of Miss Piggy's life.

Wolverine: "Frost? She legit?"
Emma Frost: "She's..She's... She's everything. And I would die for her."

For those who don’t know me I grew up in LA and grew up around the Leimert Park area which houses a beautiful Black community including Black Muslims—Got to see in real time how the country worked against them navigating the world after 9/11–my friends, classmates, teachers, neighbors etc 😞

Hi, I wrote this comic about 9/11 five (!!) years ago priyahuq.art/where-am-i/ It's messy and heartfelt. written in response to the framing of my graphic novel as 9/11-centric (it isn't, it's just set in 2002 because I was a teen in 2002)

California has quietly, but dramatically, increased the resiliency of its electrical grid through a significant expansion in battery energy storage.

A zine titled, 'Worrywart, Chapter 1: The Big Move.' This is a small comic which is the first chapter of my upcoming graphic novel. The cover features a young girl sitting on a train seat, looking out the window. There are red dots floating around her head.
