Hey, hate to do this but I have a job interview today so hopefully this won't be a big problem for much longer but I could really use some financial support in the meantime because I got a $500 bill due April 2nd and I still haven't filed my taxes for the year which I know is gonna cost me a bit too

A panel from the webcomic Keeping Time. Four dudes, the members of the band Tennyson, sit in a bar booth. Stef, the Black bassist, is in the middle of giving a stern speech to Daniel, the new Japanesse-American singer who sits kitty-corner across from him. Stef's dialogue reads, "But if you’re in, you gotta really be in. It’s gonna be hard. Sometimes you might regret making the commitment."

Stef is willing to give this new singer a shot. As long as he doesn't do something like start a complicated intra-band romance with the straight* guitarist he's had a crush on since high school, I'm sure it'll all work out

It's 2026. Everyone knows queer people exist. There's not even a conversation to be had with their kids anymore. They just hate queer people.

Seriously, I'm getting REAL sick & tired of grown ass adults using children as a shield for their obvious ignorance & bigotry. Grow TF up already!

A nice refresher piece to get me back into the swing of things. I've been having A LOT of thoughts about the show's production in the past few days....this new post is a reminder that I'm STILL here working on it...even if things are slow & uncertain right now❀️

oh also please read my webcomic (it's very easy to catch up as updates have been scarce but trust me it's a fun read despite that) it's about messy people who may or may not be monsters with very human problems

Framing the gayness as the problem is so shitty. The thing that makes the parents uncomfortable is admitting to their kids that their love (or god's love, whatever) isn't actually unconditional and will be revoked if the kid likes the wrong person.

They don't have to have conversations with their kids if they don't want to. That's the thing. Kids aren't really confused about it. It's adults that complicate it. And now these parents will point at real life gays for forcing them to have these conversations instead.

I need every single male artist that follows me to read this. It's not very long. You need to bear witness to this shit. You have to see it with your own eyes because you never will in your everyday life.

I'm serious, read it all please

obviously easier said than done. Sometimes, it sucks. Some days are ass, and not the good kind of ass. Sometimes it feels like you're going nowhere. I get that. But no one is thinking about it other than you. No one is pointing and laughing.

but yeah, you're doing great just doing the thing, man.

of course you're not self-absorbed for hoping something you put lots of effort into is liked by others. You created it. Your brain produced that glorious sauce. That is no small thing. Got, fucko? It also doesn't invalidate your efforts if it doesn't magically pop off either. Keep swinging that axe.

Instead of reposting inflammatory terminally online screenshots you could share my art and my friend's art instead.

It’s been fun sharing my colorful cast for the past month despite everything that transpired in my personal life.

But I must also admit that the lack of engagement with my work on here still affects me.

And with everything going on right now, I’m starting to feel less inclined to post anything.
