Media needs to stop with "critics say" and just quote the actual language of the bill.
HB 249 creates a new category of "seminudity" which can be used to arrest women who aren't nude, but are wearing clothing — leggings, t-shirts without bras — that religious groups feel is too provocative.
Hu-Go to the polls!!!

So I shared this issue with a friend and they came to the same conclusion, but I'm clinging to my theory that the manufacturer is a prude

A digital illustration of two japanese lesbians flirting in a queer underground bar in the 80s. One of them wears a blue jacket, the other a suit, while in the background there's liquor and a multitude of little stickers and illustrations of lesbian and queer marks.
The full illustration I did for @taplingzines.bsky.social "We've Always Been Here"
The zine depicts queer couples throughout cultures and history and I had the honours of portraying a Japanese lesbian couple in an underground bar during the 80s✨

We’ll never know!
Of course, it’s the dream
They say this shit at barbecues and everyone else just has to put up with it
Surely the answer is Pirates of the Caribbean
Imagine meeting the Artemis II astronauts and they’re constantly talking in Moon memes. They have the tightest group chat ever called You Had to Be There. Someone trips and they go “Cratered!” and high-five like a movie basketball team.
Someday, with luck and hard work, she will have a name too.
What did she like about it? For some reason my brain is going to the Korean show Kingdom, which does rock, but is a completely different setup

a lot of great advice along the lines of "write anything don't worry if bad." and that's right.
but because i'm contrarian, an alternative. don't write. let it build pressure. let it bother you and drive you insane. when it spills out it'll be a relief or compulsion more than something to fear.*
I’ve had the same editor since 1967. Many times he has said to me over the years or asked me, Why would you use a semicolon instead of a colon? And many times over the years I have said to him things like: I will never speak to you again. Forever. Goodbye. That is it. Thank you very much. And I leave. Then I read the piece and I think of his suggestions. I send him a telegram that says, OK, so you’re right. So what? Don’t ever mention this to me again. If you do, I will never speak to you again

Yeah if it feels painful to write then today ain’t the day. Wait until it’s more painful to stay away.
A whole new scam aimed at writers:
- get an email from a writers conference asking for you as a speaker
- google the conference: it's real
- say 'yeah, let's do it'
- the 'fee' is mentioned for the first time
- you check with friends listed for the event and find out the email reply address is fake

Comic. I’m at my desk, leaning over to the doorway, saying “Hey! Foghorn! Foghorn Leghorn! Get in here!” Foghorn Leghorn is walking past the doorway, “Boy, I tell ya, I tell ya, not so loud, boy. What, I say, I say, what d’ya want?” Next panel, I’m gesturing to my computer. “How do I find that really good manga you recommended? It’s an anime now? I keep getting Halloween costumes.” Foghorn leans over my chair, “well, boy, I say, I say, you ain’t typin the entire title.” Last panel, I turn around- “you said ‘witch hat.’ Foghorn gets in my face- “open your ears, boy!! ‘Witch Hat Atelier, I tell ya! I tell ya ‘Atelier,’ I tell ya’”

Love it
Only thing that helped me out of this was realizing it ruined the interaction for the other person.
You think you’re neutralizing the compliment but you’re actually insulting the giver.
