Dr. Damien P. Williams: The Birthday Beast

When in doubt, refer to the @onthemedia.bsky.social Breaking News Consumer's Handbook:

First and foremost, everyone needs to hold onto the fact that it is WAY too early to know what actually happened here. That being said, buckle the fuck in, because the finding out, discourse about, & fallout from it going to be a fucking MESS. "Trump Rushed Off Stage… After What Sounded Like Shots"

Live Election Updates: Trump Rushed Off Stage at Rally After What Sounded Like Shotswww.nytimes.com The former president was escorted into his motorcade at his rally in Butler, Pa., a rural town about an hour north of Pittsburgh.

i want to add: if you’ve stopped masking for whatever reason, you can start again. it makes spaces more accessible, it helps preserve your health and the health of the people around you. it’s a tiny action you can take to make the world safer.

"If only I could do something that would have a positive impact on the world-" You can. Mask up.

EXTREMELY THIS I see I'm gonna have to start unfollowing some folks this morning, there is entirely too much of this on my skyline

For goodness sake stop sharing those stupidly obvious clickbait op eds. Are you new to the Internet or something? Hate media works because you enthusiatocally share the damn stuff, just stop. Stop! These people are of no importance, their opinions only matter because YOU share them. Stop ffs!

Does nobody in the world remember that a Gabby Giffords, a sitting American member of congress, was shot in the head just over a decade ago? And that Steve Scalise was shot in 2017? I get that we're all scared but calling this unprecedented is just irresponsible and wrong.

It’s early, so here’s a trade secret: “Getting better” at art isn’t about not making mistakes, it’s about learning to incorporate them into your final art so they don't look like mistakes.

listen I know a lot of crazy stuff is happening but today was International Rock Day which means I’m legally obligated to draw a Noname 🪨

Playing Final Fantasy IX would fix me.

I am not joking or exaggerating in the slightest when I say that constantly immersing yourself in the worst of humanity, no matter how beneficial your motives are, causes lasting psychological damage. Managing it is the biggest challenge in the T&S industry. Don't do it to yourself voluntarily.

It particularly drives me mad when they claim AI allows disabled people into the industry...a large % of the arts industry (like me) ARE disabled, and work as freelance creatives in large part because we aren't accommodated in 'regular' work environments. AI is taking away our only available income.

There's something about witnessing food being served with a wooden spoon that makes me not want to trust that person as a host or cook.

Once again I’m here to say that @support.bsky.team needs to give people the opportunity to lock their accounts, or else we’re just going to constantly lose people to bad-faith pile-ons and then the whole place goes tumbleweeds.

HOT TIP: No matter how cool you think it'll look, don't make the backdrop of your comic a diamond trellis covered with green bean vines.

WAGE TRANSPARENCY IS CRUCIAL. Share it with your friends.

It's time for the 2024 Comics Worker Survey for US workers! Pay transparency is crucial to uncovering patterns in pay inequity & learning what publishers and clients can ACTUALLY pay us. Submit your info and encourage your peers to do the same! cartoonist.coop/2024USsurvey (art by Phil McAndrew)

Comics layouts based on different styles of historical art. From my webcomics.

The sad thing is many folks within the hiking community won't take this seriously and will continue blindly reaching for these FKT goals. They'll see Kyle's experience as a manual for "What not to do" rather than a warning that their body actually does have limits. www.backpacker.com/news-and-eve...

This Hiker Just Bagged 487 Miles in a Week. It Left Him in the Hospitalwww.backpacker.com Kyle Curtin only slept about 12 hours over his Colorado Trail thru-hike.

....realizing despite all my OC smut I have none where they're legitimately just KISSING. What the heck.
