A digital drawing of author Maia Kobabe, a white nonbinary person with short brown hair wearing a patterned blue shirt, who scowls while holding up a copy of eir book GENDER QUEER: A MEMOIR. Maia is saying: H.R. 7661 is a national book banning bill which seeks to remove any book that "involves gender dysphoria or transgenderism" from all public schools in the US. This would ban my books, and any other book with trans themes, from public schools. PLEASE call your House Reps and say: NO ON H.R. 7661!

Yes, you can leave a message. Yes, call the DC offices.
Script here again.
If you want to stand up against fascism, then you have to defend trans rights. It’s nonnegotiable. We all lose otherwise.

Iran was a black box intentionally. We knew nothing about this country we were supposed to hate intentionally. But now we can read memoir comics by Iranians and see who Iranians really are. See similarities, read stories and strive together

Hey folks Calvary Food Shelf has been helping out people in Minneapolis for 30 years, and now they’re ramping up to meet the crisis, including doing home deliveries so people don’t have to risk going out.
They’re just over halfway to their current goal—let’s get them all the way, shall we?
My 2025 comics are all free to read online, but I’ve made a digital bundle for anyone who wants to show support — $10USD for seven comics (70 pages total), with a host of process files available for another $5. All the money goes to my collaborators. Check it out and share if you are so inclined:
recently my friend's comics professor told her that it's acceptable to use gen AI for script-writing but not for art, since a machine can't generate meaningful artistic work. meanwhile, my sister's screenwriting professor said that they can use gen AI for concept art and visualization, but that it won't be able to generate a script that's any good. and at my job, it seems like each department says that AI can be useful in every field except the one that they know best. It's only ever the jobs we're unfamiliar with that we assume can be replaced with automation. The more attuned we are with certain processes, crafts, and occupations, the more we realize that gen AI will never be able to provide a suitable replacement. The case for its existence relies on our ignorance of the work and skill required to do everything we don't.
it’s come to my attention that my tumblr post has been crossposted to bluesky, so I’m posting it on my account here #AntiAI #GenAI

I found a book I loved as a child featuring paintings by 2 Chinese artists who traveled thru Pakistan in 1981 and Jesus Christ the art is just as beautiful as I remember. I haven't seen this book in 2 decades. I want to cry.
It’s very “I guess you’re wondering how I got here” 😆

When you try to take away a monster's talent after finding out he's a monster, you are tacitly making a claim that enough talent can excuse monstrous behavior.
Who are some of your favorite actors and actresses?
Life drawing is one of my 2025 goals, too! I also wanna do some more plein air
i know a lot of people are like "live for spite!!!" and i 100% support that if that's what keeps you going but if it doesn't work for you you can live for a variety of reasons, including "read book that isn't out yet", "love", "step on a crunchy leaf", "look at the river", "pat a creature" etc

In this hopeful guide to community empowerment, you’ll learn about urban foraging, boycotts, mutual aid, and more, with recipes for lovely little beverages to sip along the way!
Regardless of who's in power, grassroots organizing is imperative to our survival and empowerment.
