Gender Queer will be 7 years old in May. It's spent 5 of those years being in the top 3 most challenged books in the US. I am so grateful for everyone who is still reading it & defending it. 🧡💛💚💙 Read banned books! Fight for freedom of speech! Share trans stories! No on HR 7661!

Not so happy with this as I'd hoped to be. A combination of tiredness and my not managing the ink consistency well enough, resulting in quite a few areas of unsightly patchiness.

The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You don’t have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you don’t think they’ll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.

WALLFLOWER, my 3rd graphic novel, is officially available at bookstores and online everywhere!! please enjoy this story full of dreams, flowers, and hope.

This is the first page of a multi-panel 12 page comic strip by saucypaws, featuring two anthropomorphic female characters: Pepper, a shorter, curvy calico cat with short hair, and Whitney, a taller, athletic horse girl with longer hair. Both characters are getting ready to go out somewhere and are wearing just their underwear. The comic aims to depict a tender moment relating to body image and insecurity. Pepper is standing in front of a full-length mirror, looking at herself while holding up a green velvet strapless dress as if she is unsure whether or not she wants to put it on or not. We see a close up of her face and she is clearly very unhappy. Suddenly, a very alarmed Whitney comes rushing in: "Shoot!" she exclaims. "What time is it?" - the two of them must be late for something...

The No Borders bunny is back. Now with the full message:
no borders
no walls
abolish ice
free them all

I've been really messing with trail mix lately. Kind of nice to sit down and nibble on a variety of nuts and fruit and a piece of chocolate every now and then like I'm some kind of scrappy squirrel in a big city.

Es sollte einen eigenen Namen haben, das Abendlicht im Frühling. Er muss nach Amseln und Wehmut klingen.

Schwarz weiß Foto eines Fischreihers

Ein Fischreiher hat einen Fisch gefangen; auf dem Foto hat er den Schnabel auf und ein Fisch "schwebt" zwischen den beiden Schnabelhälften, weil er ihn da gerade in die Luft geworfen hatte.

Der Reiher hat noch einen Fisch gefangen

Der Reiher kauert im Fluss unter einem Busch, auf der Suche nach Fischen und Amphibien

War beim Zahnarzt, und wie jeder normale Mensch kam ich mit meiner großen Kamera und dem großen Objektiv, weil ich WUSSTE, dass es heute gute Motive auf dem Rückweg gibt. Hab zB diesen Reiher hier 45 Min begleitet (er war so zw 5 und 20 m von mir weg), während er Fische gefangen hat.

The bit about intentionality gets me. AI cannot set up a plot twist or foreshadow. You can maybe using a generated outline, kinda strong arm it into VAGUELY following plot but you're never going to get anything excited out of it. Not even a real good line or anything. You'll just get mediocre prose.

Two hooded figures with lamps approach a moonlit, isolated cottage. A woman answers the door. We have come for the child, says the hooded figure So soon? she asks It is time, says the hooded figure. The woman is distraught. We should never have got him a library card! What is done cannot be undone, says the hooded figure We couldn’t see the harm! We just wanted him to enjoy reading! For most, it ends there, says the hooded figure, turning away and walking into the wilderness Oh lord, What have I done! says the woman, the child walks past her and out into the darkness with them. Do not cry mother. I am a writer now.

The problem with the manga industry is not that it takes too long to make manga, it's that companies want to treat manga like a fast food order and pump out as much of it as quickly as possible and it has trained people to not be okay with waiting while mangaka work themselves to death.

I've seen comments on other websites saying this is a good use of AI because typesetting is just grunt work.

No it isn't! There is a lot of skill and craft to good typesetting and this is aiming to take jobs from people to automate what should be a human process!

This sucks!

Red Memory -> Last Dive -> LL still makes me weep when listening to the soundtrack, it is just that good ;v;

"Is this a pigeon?" meme, where the speaker is looking at a butterfly. The dialogue has been changed to "Is this dies irae?" and the added text by the butterfly reads "any sequence of four notes".
