Looking at the wealth of drawing and writing challenges for October and trying to decide which one I have the time and energy for. Possibly 100 word flash fiction, as a challenge? I’ve always found short stories incredibly difficult to write…

Everything Gale says in this thread, but I'm highlighting the visual literacy part bcuz we as a society don't put enough emphasis on visual communication. We treat reading and language as only a matter of alphabet, not images. Children need both. Dismissing the role of art doesn't help literacy.

I definitely appreciate the sentiment and the difficult position people are in now when hiring, but I guess that means we all gotta make sure to add anti-AI wording to our portfolios now, a thing it has never occurred to me to do despite yelling about AI on social media constantly 🫠

"have a gallery where people can easily see your work" is good advice. "have your links in your bio/pinned" is good advice. "have your own website" is good advice. but what do you do when people go "ugh clicking on a link is so much work" lmao. like we have GOT to re-train people to take initiative

sometime i feel the word disability tax doesnt fully describe the egregious dehumanization disabled folks constantly have to deal with. its the never-ending administrative violence on top of other forms of violence, that makes you physically and mentally unwell.

I get really annoyed seeing so many people say "Since everyone uses AI to write papers..." or "Referee reports now are just written by AI..." Look: Everything I have written has, for better or worse, been my own writing. Don't project your cynical expectations on my work. Seriously, screw gen-AI.

Reminder that leaving Discord will be a temporary measure until you fight Age Verification at the legislative level. You're only buying time if you move to another service and the law forces their hand. Discord IS complying in advance, just be aware of that. They are part of the problem.

The play-by-post format for my #dnd/#GoodSociety game has been so fun. The last four seasons have had so much intrigue and romance and The Horrors and dramatic reveals… We have several years of campaigns left before we get to the finale of the overarching plot that will tie all characters together-

everyone wants to tell artists what to do and i wish we could shift to telling audiences what to do sometimes. if you liked webcomics that were on tapas, follow somewhere else. learn to use RSS. don't let the seamlessness of apps turn your brain into soup. you can change your habits

have people just forgotten that clipart and stock images exist? i swear to fucking god. that's what you did when you couldn't afford an artist or a graphic designer, and at least that still got a human paid somewhere along the line. it worked fine! it would stand out, in this landscape!

In the oral histories of the Anishinaabe, Haudenosaunee and Seneca, there was a race of serpent-dragons that lived within Lake Ontario. The Seneca described the creatures like Gaasyendietha as a giant snake that could breathe fire and fly like a bird. 🎨 Ayia Napa 🧵 2/6
A giant sea serpent with a coiled body and toothy mouth rises from turbulent waves beside a wrecked sailing ship while terrified sailors flounder in the surf, one reaching toward a rocky shore.

here is how i plan ahead specifically for lettering so i don't clog up areas i want to put the bubbles. placing the text as early as possible like this helps you consider the entire panel and avoid making decisions you might need to undo or work around if you waited until the very end to letter.

Today's #repostober is this drawing of Pandora and Liz. Theirs is a very interesting and complex relationship that spans back way before my webcomic starts. This imagined scenario is if Pandora witnessed an attack on Liz. Wonder why? :D And yes, those are fangs... she's always had them 🫢
"I'm going to take my time shredding you," threatens an angry indian woman with brown-to-red hair, snarling at someone off screen and baring her sharp canines. She hugs a japanese woman to her chest who is bleeding from a wound to the head, protectively shielding her from something.
