there are questions where if you have to ask them the entire situation is messed up regardless of the answer
If an animal goes extinct for a very long time and then people discover it and say they did, that's snitching.. The animal clearly didn't want to be found.
GOOD NEWS! Researchers at Stanford University have developed a UNIVERSAL vaccine known as GLA-3M-052-LS+OVA, that protects against a wide range of respiratory viruses, bacteria AND even allergens. The vaccine is delivered intranasally AND provides broad protection in the lungs for several MONTHS.
Two inked panels. Left: Justin and Aaron sit on a bed in their pyjama's together. Arron in front, sits nervous and blushing and Justin awkwardly rubs ointment onto Aaron's back Right: Shela and Brielle passionately kiss
Two panels of inks: Left: Marcus Wetherall pull Justin Jin in for a kiss Right: Shela and Brielle stand in front of a large painting at a museum--their back turned to us as they hold hands.
Two panels of inks. Left: A young and handsom Maruis St. Croix lounges on a chair in his family's garden. He mutually looks flirtatiously at a handsome and shirtless gardener Right: Bloodline and Apostate passionately make out in hell, as a Human form of Blakheart in shredded skimpy clothes (evoking Havoc as the goblin prince) stands in the BG
a large long panel of a giant Lady Loki overseeing doomed yuri. A floating Escapade and Bloodline both reach for the stake of rattatoskir, as they both assume a pose in reference to Revolutionary girl Utena. Beside the women are Apostate and Jackie Chopra's Black Knight as they reach out for their respective loves.
To celebrate Avengers Academy's GLAAD Award for OUTSTANDING COMIC BOOK, have some of my gay little inks! #art πΉβ¨
it can't be overstated what an absurd time it is to be in kind of intense therapy for sexual trauma. there is no amount of term blocking i can do to stop seeing constant discussion & JOKES about systemic practices of abuse. i'm tireddddd lol can everyone real quick remember survivors are everywhere
The thing about all these freak AI execs constantly going "our machine may have gained sentience?!" is that they want slaves. That they are ok with slave labor.
And *then* it always, always turns out their latest AI trick actually used slave labor somewhere in the global south.
They're slavers.
We still have a backlog of Black people not having any jobs, unfortunately :(
In honor of Women's History Month let's get all those laid off industry gals jobs at GDC next week ok

Last 15 hours to get The Hayseed Knight 50% off!

Well now, would you look at that? A massive, 4-YEAR-LONG study of NEARLY 30 MILLION people in France found that individuals who received a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine had a 74% LOWER risk of death from severe COVID-19 compared to unvaccinated individuals and ZERO increased risk of all-cause mortality.
Reminder that the 'lesbian domestic violence rate' statistics? The perpetrators are men.
After a lot of back and forth, I will be at GDC. I'll be giving a very Q and A heavy talk about launching games in the best state possible.
If we've had a meaningful convo/are mutuals, please let me know if you'd like to find time to catch up!

Cherokee Film Productions, the Cherokee Nationβs production company, has released a first-look trailer for an upcoming feature-length documentary focused on Cherokee Freedmen.

my take on Joss Whedon is that he was literally not allowed to be in a room alone with a child, and that's kind of the end of the story for me.
This is the thing I want to stress to people who are used to the illustrated kidsβ book space. Youβre used to being done when you hand in the words. In comics, the writing isnβt done until the pictures are done because the pictures are also writing.
this is the moment that gamedevs everywhere crumble under the weight of their own GDC ambitions
godspeed everyone π«‘ rest assured that no one is ready lol

Anyways.
Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM
minicomic featuring momo and pg from If Youβll Have Me, eunnieβs graphic novel. page 1: momo and pg share a sweet kiss, surrounded by doodles of hearts. in the next panel, pg casts her a glance before moving forward to deepen the kiss, taking momo by surprise with the touch of her tongue.
page 2: a flustered momo tries to maintain composure as pg leans further into the kiss. the next close-up shows momoβs eyes have dizzy spirals in them, puffs of steam coming from her head as she becomes overwhelmed.
page 3: momo falls backwards, knees buckling as if sheβs fainted away. the ghost of her soul comes floating out through her mouth, looking very pleased considering the circumstances. a startled pg holds momo up by her arms, alarmed by her girlfriend going limp.
