tried drawing a simplified cartoon version of my current self and I was like who the fuck does this look l-- ah. Matt Mercer
every seven to eight months I think about how the line "I wish I knew how to quit you" is incredibly heartbreaking and it got made into a cultural punchline and I get mad
Went for my physical and it turns out I was due for a tetanus shot. Once again I win one over on Dean Winchester
Andrew Tate looks like he got arrested dressed in thej juniors section of Kohls in 2012
I was trying to find that "I'm a thirsty little flower" comic so I half-paying attention typed text I remembered from it into google to find it and this was the result
Michael Fanone's take on Lindsey Graham is one of the most powerful I've read:
I went on Facebook because I make mistakes and this is one of the first things I saw. don't read the text cause who gives a fuck but why is AI Homer in one of my go-to outfits (big shirt + gay little shorts + boots) in the middle of winter
I woke up from my cat biting my ankle like 10 minutes ago. DID HE KNOW
"Where do I start with Galaxy and Dreamer, Jadzia?" My sweet child, nothing could be easier! These three graphic novels should be available at your local comic shop, book store, or library.
Galaxy: The Prettiest Star Bad Dream: A Dreamer Story Galaxy: As The World Falls Down In that order.

jumpscared by seeing a comic anthology I was in 11 years ago on eBay
some tips for actually doing this: -shitty is better than incomplete -you are the ONLY one who can do what YOU'RE doing -people LOVE seeing the artist's hand in their work, esp in the age of genAi -the more you say "this sucks," the more you believe it. the opposite is also true
when you're surrounded by what seems like everybody admitting that they feel awful about themselves, it can start to feel normal and expected that you also feel awful about yourself. but actually, it's okay to not want that! you can feel better! it takes work, and effort, but it's on the table!
I used to think hating what I did was a vital part of the process of making it! Turned out I was just giving myself permission to stay miserable instead of working on my actual problems. Anyway, Keez is right, it really isn’t necessary to loathe your output, and it’s better for you if you don’t

"Like the forefathers intended" brother the forefathers didn't know shit. They were busy doing unspeakable things to enslaved people and making mac and cheese so bad there's historical record of it. Actually that does sound like the median American excited about the 250th so I guess I take it back
Happy 4th of July! Here's an unrelated image!
if you told me one of my favorite Nirvana songs was gonna be the opening to an anime adaptation of one of my favorite manga from the past 5 years I'd. ???? #Kinioto #tgswiiwagaa #greenyuri
This showed up in my notifs. I don't really have more to say on it other than every year, I'm gladder and gladder you're still here.
"July 1st." I've had complicated feelings about this comic this year. We've seen so much quiet quitting of rainbow capitalism--a canary in the coal mine. I started wondering if I was naive to not think of when I drew this as "the good times."
I saw somsone power washing the sidewalk and doing it very methodically and went. you know what. I now fully get why games were made simulating that
sudden realization that the way some people talk about certain fandoms is like how Lovecraft talked about stuff. like "oh my god it was so bad guys. like it was sooo bad. I can't even tell you how bad it was. it was just bad and the worst and you just gotta trust me" like girl what happened!
JUSTICE LEAGUE: DREAM GIRLS is about being a trans woman in America in 2026, the importance of female friendships, and why you should take up space even if others would prefer that you didn't. I made it with @nicoleamaines.bsky.social and a host of incredibly talented artists and letterers.
I wrote some great books you should own.
A diversidade de gênero e sexualidade não nasceu ontem. Muitos povos indígenas já reconheciam diferentes formas de existir muito antes da colonização. O que chamam de "natural" (heteronormatividade) muitas vezes é apenas a norma que aprenderam a enxergar como única.
raising a glass to this sunbathing bootleg queen, may she lounge and oh my god those feet are not at good angles
Actually kind of cool of my dad that he never did anything with us for Father's Day so the holiday doesn't evoke any especially complicated or heightened emotions now that I'm NC. This is evidenced by that I forgot it was Father's Day until literally 2 minutes ago
Had a really good time at Chicago Pride fest with a friend which included going to the coolest comic shop I've ever been to and making some banging purchases
