Much as I've always loved this scene from the comic, I've been continually plagued by the notion that I could've done it better. So here it is, done better. OG for comparison so you can see how much of a glow-up it is. That's what stars do best after all! They shine 🌟
Sally Starlet of Welcome Home, standing in (metaphorical) darkness, looking at Yol (my AU's version of Eddie Dear) with a concerned expression. She's activating telepathic abilities, which the alien (isolated from his hivemind and deeply lonely) notices, turning to face her. It's the first time he's truly connected to someone like that in...a while.Same scene as it originally appeared in my comic. Looks good, but I didn't really understand how to draw Sally at the time. I can do it much better now.

I'm predicting that as we start to scrub out the fascist filth and it once again becomes an unprofitable PR disaster to be an open bigot or support open bigots, we'll be seeing a lot of this

Someone on Tumblr was suggesting that you replace "police" with "man with a gun" in any sentence about it and see if you still wanna call. For example "These teens at the park are being rowdy and making a mess. Should I call a man with a gun to remove them?"

Machines churn out plastic garbage on an industrial scale, funnel it straight into a bot's shopping cart, drones deliver it, & then more drones shovel it straight into a landfill. At the center of it all sits a rotting human corpse, having at no point been involved in any part of the process

Sometimes I feel a little bad when me & my sister swap stories about work, cus she'll be telling me about how they're doing medieval torture to her at this call center & I'm like "I saw a cool moth :) and my boss made me soup :)"

At work and boss just dropped by to give me some homemade pumpkin soup cus I'd mentioned to her that I was craving it. Truly blessed to have this job and a manager who's so nice to me ❤️🎃
A mason jar of pumpkin soup, along with aplastic spoon and a bag of cut up green onions to put on top

some ways to make logos. you can make a logo. anyone with paint can make a logo. stop using the earth-boiling plagiarism machine to make logos.
Portland Art Museum logo is a red sans serif PLondon 2012 Olympics logo is a bunch of blue shapes that vaguely resemble "2012" if you squintmascot sport logo from the 1998 Nagano Winter Olympics shows a very loosely drawn teal and orange owl named Nokki skiing with a stern expression

I fully believe this is why folks get so mad about aroace people existing. Bigots don't like being reminded that they could've just *not* wasted their lives on bad sex and shitty marriages

I wanna say the word "terrørist" means nothing anymore, but I kinda don't know if it ever meant anything other than "someone the government doesn't like"

As you get older, you realize the importance of having a large amount of shallow bowls in which to put small amounts of discrete objects

Pen, watercolor, pencil, and copic marker. 

Our guy is out on the open water at night. Silhouetted against a purplish night sky he paddles a small boat with a single oar through a massive congregation of alligators. He had told the gators earlier that their eyes would sparkle in the moonlight. Reader, he was correct and he lets the gators know. “Gators,” he says. “ I told ya your eyes would sparkle in the moonlight.”

If traditional gender roles were so "natural" and "good" you wouldn't have to constantly enforce/perform them or convince yourself to ignore that you're actually miserable doing it
