one piece of advice i can share as a parent: certain phases can be really tough, but they do pass. around 18 months my son kept demanding that i condemn hasan piker. all day and night too, i was at the end of my rope. now he’s really into fire trucks. it’s always something new

ICE’s flight manual says children above 13 years old can be shackled if they are deemed a security risk. A father being moved with his two teenaged sons — who might “conspire” with one another against 10+ flight guards — would be enough for them to be considered security risks.

A shackled man stands at the top of air stairs and looks down at two people who appear to be teenage boys walking up the stairs, also shackled.

if you struggle with the first one—which is great advice—the change of subject is the no-look pass of accepting compliments. people don't even know what hit them. one minute they're telling you that you did a good job, then suddenly you're both chatting about how much you like OutKast or Steve Ditko

NEW ADVICE-FROM-LIEBER LIST! I've posted these tips as a thread before, but I figured it's about time I made it available as a single, shareable image.

MISTAKES I'VE MADE THAT YOU CAN AVOID Don't be like me. 1. Don't trash your own work when complemented. In that context your self-deprecation is insulting someone else's taste! Just say thanks and change the subject. Maybe credit an influence? 2. As far as your readers are concerned, comics are drawn with a printing press or a monitor. Don't fetishize the original art or the tools you make it. Anything that gets the story told the way it needs to be told is the right tool for the job. 3. Don't use one job to audition for another. It's unfair to your collaborators and a betrayal of the reader to get flashy or sexy or explosive if the moment in the story doesn't call for it. 4. The important storytelling choices on a page can be worked out in thumbnails. Gesture, camera angle, framing, broad arrangement of tones-get this stuff right before you worry about anatomy, lighting, drapery, or facial expressions. 5. Some artists can put down a final inkline with no underdrawing, but that's because they're skilled and experienced enough to do all that underdrawing in their head. You probably aren't. Get your underdrawing right and save the masterstrokes for the masters. 6. What you're feeling while you work doesn't matter. What the audience feels when they read it does. You can be happy and still do a great drawing of someone in agony. You should understand what you're depicting. It's not necessary to experience it in real time at the board. 7. Get a fresh eye on your work. You never know when some accidental juxtaposition is going to completely change your intended meaning. 8. Don't let getting things 100% right keep you from getting things done. It's easy to get bogged down in research or prep sketches. Make a schedule at the start of a project so you know how much time you have. Do the best you can with the time allotted and move on. But...

Hey, critters. The media's interested in furries again. As someone who's been in the fandom for well over two decades and has worked as a journalist, here's a quick guide to Dealing With The Press: If a journalist approaches you, SHUT THE FUCK UP SHUT THE FUCK UP SHUT THE FUCK UP SHUT THE FUC

a prominent member of Film Twitter told me to "Suck his dick" just because i said that my favorite movie is the tv show Scrubs

Was walking past this building and through the window saw this backrooms-ass room, so I accidentally took the coolest picture ever due to the window's reflection

A backrooms-ass room with a twilight sky and trees seemingly imposed over it in a dream-like fashion (it's the reflection of the window)

I recently interviewed a traveller from an antique land. Their experience in arid environments with sizable, defunct monumental sculpture (sans torso) stuck with me. While they didn't get the position, here's three key takeaways they taught me about the fleeting nature of earthly power 👇

Does anyone know how to get this on the radar of more VN people? Almost all the response has been from books, which is fine, and makes sense given the circles to which I have access, but I'd like to get beyond those if possible.

I'm gonna try to put together a Horror bundle on Itchio for october, if you've got a horror e-book or vn, go ahead and message me a link. 📚📦

The 2nd trial of Endwalker is cleared. On Sunday, it's time for Solo Only's Final Walk, and the last moments of the challenge. I'll see you there at 2PM Eastern.
