SCREEN Act, which would have required mandatory age-verification for sites (like this) that allow "material harmful to minors" failed to pass out of committee after thousands and thousands of people called their Senators. More work ahead!

The SCREEN Act just failed to pass in the Senate Commerce Committee! 🎉 Enormous thanks to the thousands (!!) of you who told your Senators to vote no! Your voice matters and you should feel good that you made a difference. Obviously, the fight isn't over, but this was an important victory.

i want to share my nightreign art on the nightreign sub but i am a perpetual reddit lurker. need to figure out how to farm 33 karma in the next 3 hours (which is when I predict I will lose interest). May have to recruit my cute dog

bagcraftin' ain't easy but someone's gotta do it #nightreign (I switched from a Wylder main to a Scholar main and this is my life now)

Apple charges people ~20% more than the Patreon list price and they keep the difference for themselves. They also hold the proceeds of iOS app sales for 75 days, making it impossible for creators to accurately predict earnings. They basically inserted themselves in order to rip *more* people off

Any of you using the ios version of Patreon to support me, switch to the browser version instead, cuz the apple fees have actually taken over 3000 usd from me in the course of a year

Jurassic Park is a perfect franchise because the question "why would they keep doing this" is answered by simply asking yourself if you would want to go see a dinosaur. Of course you would want to see a dinosaur.

Mainstream Respectable opinion is that people joking about a bad person's death represents a culture of cruelty, but really it represents a culture of impunity. It's a coping mechanism for watching someone do evil their whole life and never seeing consequences

‼️RAHHHHH COVER REVEAL ‼️ My new romance graphic novel Sweet Revenge comes out on 2-2-27!! ♥️ (lucky!!) Preorder now!! - - -✄- - - bookshop.org/p/books/swee...

my "dark" secret is the amount of time spent staring at/rereading my own work like teehee... i made that... for me... to my exact specifications... hurray... and if it doesn't give me that feeling then I'm usually too lazy to share it anyways. I love art

Jandri🔞@jandri.bsky.social · last mo.

The amount of people expressing that it’s totally normal to feel like your own work is terrible is really sad to me. Sometimes social media feels like a contest to see who has the worst relationship with their art and I refuse to be a party to that shit lol

This is Alex! - - -✄- - - My little copycat ♡ Here are some early concepts where I finally nailed down Alex's design & vibe. The original codename for SWEET REVENGE was COPYCAT after Apink CHOBOM's song about mimicking your lover. In these, I'm also exploring the "90s does 60s" aesthetic of the book

An open letter, to readers, about Charity and Sylvia. I am very pained to feel the need to write this. #queerhistory #pride

Here's the serious bit for anyone who'd rather skip the 4000 words of jokes

cis folks actually love putting minors on HRT or giving them surgery when they're intersex, so they're just liars to begin with, anyway trans kids aren't allowed to consent to HRT/surgery but cis adults can force any kid onto a new hormone profile if they have any number of 'justifications'

We have a very special announcement today: NOVAE IS GETTING PRINTED!🎉🌟 The first 3 books (possibly more) will be printed by inklorebooks.com ! The books will be published one after the other starting in summer 2028. A huge thank you to our agent Joan, and all our wonderful readers!💖

i should add: May 31 was both my own birthday and the 10th anniversary of the comic's launch. kind of crazy on both counts there! and also that means you have to look at it 🎂

RIP Marjane Satrapi

an inspiration to me and many others. words feel inadequate; i'm at a loss to process this one. the world will miss her, but it must have been nothing compared to the force of her grief. RIP Marjane Satrapi 💔 I hope she is at peace. I hope we can make the world into something she would've wanted.

To our dismay, the artist and author Marjane Satrapi has passed away. As she wrote, ordinary Americans and Iranians have more in common with each other than we do with either of our governments, which have far too much in common with each other. We honor her memory and oppose the war.

Marjane Satrapi, author of 'Persepolis,' dies at 56

We've lost one of the most important graphic novelists of my generation. The world is a darker place without her, but a better place because of her too brief time with us.
