It's #TerribleComicTuesday and I have a zine PSA (as I'm in the midst of Phoenix Zine Fest prep)
A black and white comic. The first half reads: "If you are making one page mini-zines, DO NOT use this format! It's extra effort to fold the cover in place and is messy! Makes my hand sad! Bad!!!" The second half reads: "Use this one instead! The cover is easier to fold, less effort on my hand! Hand approved! So clean!" The bad format is for US copy size paper with the the bottom half labeled in quarters (left to right) pg 5, pg 6, back cover, front cover. The top half - flipped 180, appearing upside down - is pg 1, pg 2, pg 3, pg 4. The correct format is in quarters (left to right) back cover, front cover, pg 1, pg 2. Top half - flipped 180, appearing upside down - is pg 3, pg 4, pg 5, pg 6. Somehow this makes the cover pages in the middle section when folding.

An important PSA from Batman
a redraw of a the iconic panel from Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns, in which Batman breaks a gun in half, and says "this is the weapon of the enemy. We do not need it. We will not use it"

In my version, he is breaking the Inktober logo.

Daily bunny no.3443 heard a noise
Several bunnies stand at a campfire in the woods at night. One small bunny has a fearful look as they try to tell the others about something. The other bunnies around the fire have a mix of skepticism and surprise on their faces. In the background, a dark shadow of a mothman, with red glowing eyes, is visible.

Comparing “blogging” to “AI Slop” is the type of take that emerges from being obsessed with how people talk about things instead of being interested in what things are.

Using the plagiarism machine that flips a coin to decide the most likely next word, will obviously kill people. It's telling that *you* are expected to get this technology, sick people are expected to get it. The rich will have the luxury of human doctors and pharmacists. You won't.

four frame comic. first frame shows a typical AI poster that says : All chatgpt flyers look the same, especially with this font! the text above it reads : I won't go to your event if the poster was made by AI. second frame shows a still frame from a Hank Green youtube video. text above reads : I won't read your post or email and I won't watch your video if they were made with AI. third frame shows an AI restaurant poster of burgers and chicken in a window. text reads : I won't patronize your shop  or restaurant if it is advertised with AI. last frame shows an MS paint window with badly written : Your bad art is better than AI slop. text reads : if you can't take the time or make the effort to interact with me yourself, then why should I do it?

In this cross stitch, a little brown shrew is perched above some dirt, claws in the soil, wearing a red polka-dotted handkerchief over their head and smiling at some yellow blooms and clover that fills an oval shape.  There are a couple red ladybugs and some small pink and green motifs.  The cross stitch is staged with pinecones, and pine needles.  BAD Stitch

Hey guys! I know we all like to joke about July being pride 2.0 / Wrath month, but let's also remember it's disability pride month too! Many of us are both LGBTQ+ and live with disabilities and it's more important than ever that both groups stick together and support each other!
The disability pride flag.
It is a diagonal set of pastel coloured stripes on a black background. 

The colours corresponding with the following meanings:

Charcoal Grey: Mourning for people who have died due to ableist violence, abuse, suicide, and illness.

Red Stripe: Physical disabilities.

Gold Stripe: Neurodiversity.

Blue Stripe: Emotional and psychiatric disabilities.

Green Stripe: Sensory disabilities.

White Stripe: Undiagnosed and invisible disabilities.

This pattern by @badstitch.bsky.social has been bringing me a lot of much-needed joy, this month. #crossstitchWIP
Partially-finished cross stitch in a pale blue embroidery hoop. The fabric is ice dyed shades of purple, blue, and some muted pink. There's a floral arch in shades of blue with green vines and purple flowers frames a possum relaxing in a hammock under several purple blooms. A moon smiles down serenely on the little possum from the top of the arch.

The crown he wears is made of birdhouses and sticks and and his full beard is made of branches, twigs, and sticks. He faces somewhat to the right. The Bird King's right arm reaches toward the right of the photo (across his body) out of frame and he regards the viewer over it.
