And the full link is as brutal as the graphic.

Jason Arday told the press he was at his limit. It answered with 188 more articles. He is dead at 41.

Heat exhaustion can kick in so fast it'll blindside you. If you're on ADHD meds, SSRIs, allergy medication, or just have heat intolerance, please be careful out there folks. I just sat zoned out and dizzy at my PC for 30mins before I realized I was overheated and probably not in a good spot.

i feel like i got this lesson really early on in comics, both seeing ostensibly progressive publishers sink lucrative contracts because they couldn't share power with their artists, and also seeing how orgs will happily walk away from piles of money to smother queer voices

if there's one conclusion that the study of both labor history and imperialism converge on, it is that the richest people in the world are happy to burn money on control, power, impunity. and the "everything is about profit" version of anti-capitalism does not survive serious contact with either

when you look at those charts and notice all standards of living and social life going to hell starting in the 80s, well, let's just say there's a very clear political reason why

if you are any kind of creative or artist or writer you *have* to understand sex workers and porn/erotica artists/authors as being members of the same class as us. to the extent society recognizes a difference between "legitimate" art and porn, it's only as a tenuous, convenient, temporary fiction.
