I'm sorry for talking so much about this indie comics shit i just get really heated about comics okay. make your comic!! don't wait for someone to tell you it's worth making!

Tbh the reason why i haven't shut up about doujinshi is because i'm sick of the way things are over here and i want them to change. i want everyone to make the sicko book their heart desires. i want to see the works that were unpublishable. I WANT TO SEE THEM NOW!! NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW !!!!!!!!

Fun news everyone! The pre-launch page for my Comic Kickstarter is now up! More will be added as we get closer to the date but I am hoping to launch on August 25th. This comic is my big tribute to TF, and the silliness of all these 80s cartoons. www.kickstarter.com/projects/577...

Coming soon: The End of the Galactic Conquerors - Issue #1

The characters of an '80s cartoon slowly become aware they are in a show designed only to sell toys and break out into the real world

So it's not even sensationalist fearmongering anymore to say that Adobe is actively spying on you and if it "detects" that the image you're working with is whatever it deems as "inappropriate", it can straight-up refuse to work? Man, fuck Adobe and fuck everyone who uses genAI.

This week I learned Photoshop can slut-shame. So I spent a video testing Adobe's moderation system, seeing what triggers it, and discovering that Photoshop may be judging my outfits harder than half the internet - youtu.be/sWcnBBrJ5cw

[Interest Check] I'm happy to announce that I'm working with the Taiwanese doujinshi consignment shop 楓林館Fanhouse to print and distribute Our Unending Journey books worldwide! If you're outside of the US or Canada and you're interested in getting books, please respond to the interest check HERE!

i made a guide on how to write, draw, and print a doujinshi/fanzine/whatever you want to call it. this is a crash course on literally everything i know about making doujinshi. it's over 40 pages long. i hope you like it. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

this sucks. nashville zoo is one of the most modern, humane, and accessible zoos in the country. if you care about conservation, critters, and science, go sign and go raise hell. nash zoo is also a bastion of science and equality as a southern workplace. please please protect it.

They’re trying to build a data center next to the Nashville Zoo Petition here, if you’re so inclined: c.org/KxhXznzBcD

Nashville Zoo

We're asking our community to stand with us in protecting the animals, habitats, people and future of Nashville Zoo.
A proposed 69,000-square-foot data center is planned for property directly adjacent to the Zoo. While developers claim the facility will have no impact, no environmental studies or impact assessments have been conducted to evaluate potential effects on our animals, visitors, staff, or the surrounding community.
Data centers consume enormous amounts of electricity and water; straining power grids, depleting natural resources, and damaging our watershed. With nothing more than the word of a profit-seeking developer, how are we to know this new data center will not lead to irreversible damage to the animals we exist to protect?
We cannot afford to find out years from now how this facility has negatively impacted our 1.4 million annual visitors, our local community, or the 3,000 animals entrusting us with their care. We are calling on the Nashville community to join us in our fight to stop this data center from being built, now.
Please sign our petition and say yes to the Zoo by saying no to the new data center

Includes photos of a big cat at the zoo and a photo showing how close the data center would be to the zoo

I should also mention that doujinshi doesn't have to be comics or prose. That massive nonstandard black mage guide someone printed out is also doujinshi. i'd like to see an xiv doujin that's just like fish windows or something

i need to create something that would make a guy posting on a comics forum in 2006 go holy flip! what a mindfuck!!! 🤯 gotta create something that would make a 14 yr old on reddit ask what drugs i was taking
