It was never about the kids.

Adults are now facing care bans wake the fuck up

affirmations for the artists and the sickos. you will not feel bad about using references or 3d models in a time when the most rat faced soulless tech ceos are burning billions of dollars and trees for a slop machine that they will call art with their whole fucking chest

👀👀👀👀👀👀

i think if you wanna talk about how brave trans people are you should pay them $100,000 dollars each tbh

GO FOR IT !!! (I get it easier said than done but your work is amazing and you have the years of experience and expertise !!!)

I am super slowly working on getting orders out with this knee injury; if you’ve preordered a shirt or tote bag at eccc I’m hoping to have energy to be able to press shirts and bags this weekend !

wfh today but commuting in tomorrow to the office and really hoping I don’t mess up my knee more - pain is definitely less but I still can’t crouch

A series of infographics featuring the Cartoonist Cooperative's mascots Inkling (an inkwell) and Nibford (a dip pen) as they share information about what a phone or email zap is. Image one shows Inkling on the phone, reading from a script. Text reads, "What is a phone or email zap? A phone (or email) zap is a coordinated campaign where many people contact a target (such as a company, agency, or representative) to apply pressure and demand action on one issue." The Co-op logo and website appear at the bottom of all three images: https://cartoonist.coop/.

Nibford sits at a desk, calling someone on the phone while looking at their computer screen. Text reads, "How can I organize one? Agree on a target and an issue to collectively press for. Gather scripts ahead of time. Coordinate a time when everyone is available to call/email. Hang out IRL or in a voice call together! Log any feedback and share updates with your fellow zappers! Keep it up until demands are met! This is a marathon, not a race."

Inkling and Nibford jump for joy with confetti raining down around them. Text reads, "And most importantly... celebrate your wins!"

Members, the Coop is calling on you to participate in our upcoming zap sessions to take collective action regarding censorship & pay discrimination for 18+, erotic, and NSFW artists.

Look out on Discord for more info about when and how to join, coming soon.

Odai deserves to play and rest like all children; it’s urgent that he has his surgery as soon as possible. Please support my friend Sahar as she tries to make that possible for Odai.

I really, really want to do more of this. It feels like carving out a small, strange, safe space.

i got to interview mr dr merlin sheldrake again for this 😌

Creatives are a vital part of our community and yet we regularly get overlooked and treated like our jobs are unimportant. Meanwhile every little thing around us had to pass through the hands of a creative at some point.
Nothing would exist without us. The world would go dark without art.

Our HOW TO TOUCH GRASS anthology includes a small cohort of creators in Iran. For obvious reasons, today's interview with writer Negin K. Manesh feels bittersweet.

Her story is one of joy and traditional connections with the grass of Mazandaran: buff.ly/PuJ2VVl

Coming soon: HOW TO TOUCH GRASS [Relaunch] A comics anthology about exiting our bubbles and embracing community.

As a collection, How To Touch Grass brings together so many diverse takes on grass, on community building, on self-care, on history itself...!

One might say that it... /covers a lot of ground/...? 😀🥁😆🌾
