If the Rightwing and some liberals successfully dismantle public libraries, they will not be replicated again in the U.S.

For no reason, just posting this here as a reminder that art doesn’t need to be owned by a corporation and sold and conglomerated for billions.

Support indie art. It is (almost literally) the only art that remains🖤☠️

Interior for Lumberjack (2023). This project caught me at my lowest mental health in years and I let that flow onto my pages. For the context of the story, it all felt of a piece. Even with all my difficulties, the work and book as a whole remains very special to me.

@lamantia.bsky.social’s cover and illustrations for Lumberjack were better than anything I could have dreamed of.

They deserve all the eyeballs

Thank you 🥰

Here’s a castle I painted like five years ago.

Does it look like a four year old did it? Yes.

Is it genuinely mine? Also yes.

That’s not to say SM doesn’t have its impacts.

But it’s also mostly bullshit

Remember Social Media isn’t reality

There are like 40 million people on BlueSky? Around 600 million on the other one?

Compare that to 8 billion people on the planet.

Yes, this is largely a reminder to myself.

If you're feeling helpless and don't know what to do: Look for people out there who are already helping. I promise they're out there. And then ask how you can help and do it.

You're not alone. Community is out there and it's the way forward. ❤️👊

Folks, I need help. I had a severe medical incident that required ER. I'm on med leave and I have no idea if it's funded or no. Have been trying for past few months to get a workshop r3fund of 3k I'm still missing to no avail, have exhausted every opportunity. Any advice on what I can do?

My intrusive thoughts vs. Reality

☑️”Nobody cares about my books” (depressed, defeatist)

✅”I’m publishing’s dark little secret”
(inspired, uplifting, sinister)

It wasn’t as fun as you’d expect. But still a cool class

Five classes you took in college!

- German Film
- The Horror Film
- Film music
- United States: The Interwar Years
- Fascism (took this one in 2015, had no idea just how relevant it would be)

You have to deal with them as a toxic portion of society. Squaring them off into a pen like defective sheep won't work. Besides, all the shit they're spewing is unchecked white male privilege. Deal with the messes we've made, white people. As unpleasant as it is.

There is no place in this world for fascism

Not too bad.

You made a movie about how we were “destroying nature” and then you go drain a hundred lakes and burn a hundred forests to make what at best looks like a mediocre history channel reenactment.

Good deal.

people asking "who is this for"

It's for the fascists. That's the purpose of this garbage tech. It's exactly the kind of self-glorifying boot-sucker slop you expect them to drool over.

Thanks, I hate it

Shoehorn theory is when you think people who are shooting people in the streets and people who are trying to feed their neighbors are literally the same

Well I was hoping it would change the Silmarillion to the Salmon or something, but apparently my phone recognizes that word

I’m going to try to get into writing poetry again. I need creative pursuits that are just for me, with no intention to publish or share with the world

No need to ration what there’s plenty of Mr. Bowlofrice

Be stupid only once a day? Pssh

Hard to see the light now
Just don’t let it go
Things will come out right now
We can make it so

Feeling helpless? Get involved. From all I'm seeing and hearing from our neighbors in MLPS, these resistance networks didn't spring up overnight; they were built, brick by brick, for years. The best time to get involved was yesterday; the second best time is today. We all have a place in the work
