As an ace person I was told by doctors and parents that my lack of attraction was wrong and that I “needed hormones” to be “normal”. Im now 35 years old! The only thing that’s changed is I found a partner who is also ace. We mostly cuddle and hold hands! We’re engaged! It’s possible, friends!

It's wild how Mamdani (+dem socialism) is considered some big threat because he does his job Like that's it. Man reminds folks that Being Mayor is a job not just a titled position of power, and it makes all the other politicians real angry that he's ruining the Job They Pretend Is Too Hard To Do

Do it for them.
Two panel comic. In the first panel, three women stand together. One says, "go for it!" Text reads: beautiful, cool lesbians are watching.

In the second panel, a fourth woman presses her hands to the side of her head and closes her eyes. Text reads: for them, I must succeed.

Dear new artists, It’s ok to trace photos to learn from them. It’s ok to copy art to understand it. People have been copying the masters for millennia and it’s a good way to improve your skills. A simple way to acknowledge this in a post is referring to it as a “study” and crediting the original.

PARTICIPATION IS COMPULSORY. #makeaterriblecomicday #makeaterriblecomicday2026
Comic

panel 1: a dystopian city. Electronic billboards of Emma (@pseudonymjones) send a message - MAKE A TERRIBLE COMIC. Cartoonist @emfields runs through the streets, scared for his life. 

Panel 2: emfields is caught in front of a brick wall at the end of a blind alley. Pinned by a searchlight in front of a propaganda poster of Emma, he screams “No!”

Panel 3: EMMABOTS approach menacingly, intoning the rules - “PARTICIPATION IS COMPULSORY.”

Panel 4: EMMABOTS drag emfields to his art board, forcing him to make a terrible comic, the worst torture imaginable. He screams NOOOOOO

Just ONE WEEK until the launch of the Kickstarter for OUTLAW'S APPRENTICE: BROKEN BLADE, the first graphic novel in my new Appalachian-inspired fantasy adventure series. You can follow the campaign now and get a heads-up when it launches so's not to miss out: www.kickstarter.com/projects/sch...
Mass market paperback graphic novel: Outlaw's Apprentice: Broken Blade, by Chris Schweizer. The logo is in orange and features a bronze sword with a green patina framing an image of a teenaged boy and a woman surrounded by guys in helmets with swords. The boy looks nervous, the woman excited. She holds aloft a sword. There is a blurb: "Adventure Storytelling at its finest by a master of the craft" - Mike Maihack, Cleopatra in Space.

I hate Ai being used at any point of a production but I cannot understand why people think it sounds better to say that you only used it at the early stages of pre-production. That's the fun bit!! The ideas bit!! The creative bit!! The bit that makes your story YOURS.
