for the American voters: IGNORE THE POLLS! this is literally what we did in Brazil! it doesn't matter if your party is ahead or behind, GO VOTE! some people give up on voting because they're sure they'll win or lose and their vote doesn't matter AND THAT'S WHEN YOU LOSE! WAKE UP EARLY AND VOTE!

I know the vast majority of you are here because of my art, but I need to share a thread about Brazilian politics because what we achieved today deserves to be mentioned and celebrated I'll do my best to be objective for those who have no idea what was happening

I'm sharing this (very long) thread for two reasons: 1. a real life example of how mobilized and determined population CAN change the tide against all odds 2. Trump and Flávio will very likely attempt something soon; stay tuned, because we might need help.

in parallel to social media, we took it to the streets massive protests in favor of Lula throughout the country inviting people to join the cause and vote; vote for our democracy, vote for our sovereignty, vote for our rights at risk millions of people flooding capitals weekend after weekend

Guillermo Del Toro dropping another one liner that’s exactly how I feel about AI slop, the “punishment” is built in

I know that it just comes down to personal taste, but it still always bums me out to hear ppl won't give my comics a chance because they're not in colour 😔 Black and White comics are cool I promise

Life is short. Creatives who pour their labor and art and energy into work deserve their art to be seen by the light of day. I don't want to go hungry making art. I also don't want my art to be kept in a vault and tossed aside so I can eat.

shout out to all the artists trying to pay the bills and grappling with that feeling of desperation and uncertainty while trying to maintain creative fluency and a hopeful outlook that maybe “today will be the day things get a tiny bit easier”

we gotta bring back shame, man society doesn’t work real well without consequences for being an enormous piece of shit in public

Most of these game studios are not closing because they're not PROFITABLE. They're closing because they're not showing GROWTH. The system of investor capitalism is ruining literally everything you care about.

How can you avoid it? Use your computer or the web browser on your phone to start your sub. After that if you want to use the app to browse it should be no problem, and future sub charges should not be affected (unless Apple gets shitty about it.)

If you pledge to my patreon through the ios app you will pay an additional 30% fee (Apple's fee, they keep all that!) AND your pledge is held by Apple for 75 days. So if you pledge to me in March maybe I will get that money for rent in June.

piggybacking off this: the most powerful sales technique in the world, for pretty much all of human history, has been word of mouth. If you like something someone made, TELL YOUR FRIENDS. Tell everyone. Leave reviews. Repost. Talk about it. Link to it and link to the artist. We depend on YOU.

Most creatives literally cannot exist without social media support at this stage. There just isn’t another viable option, which is bad for our mental health and long term viability. You literally do have to buy from the artists you enjoy here if you want them to continue making work.
