In terms of like, Please For The Love Of God Get Hobbies That Aren’t Scrolling Through An App For Six Hours A Day, I understand and experience completely the argument of like. with the stressors of modern work, you don’t have the energy at the end of the day to do anything but mindlessly watch Netflix and scroll through your phone. but like I would like to gently encourage you to simply force yourself for a time to do something instead of pick up your phone, bc the phone is literally designed to light up your brain with no effort from you whatsoever and it does in fact rot your brain. It makes literally anything but scrolling on your phone seem difficult and joyless. But if you stop scrolling on your phone all the time, and start like, reading or embroidering or gardening or going for walks, you will eventually find the joy in them once more
I understand and it is true that it is hard to have a life outside work and scrolling but there is not a near future where that won’t be the case and you should still live a life. And you won’t create a future where that isn’t the case if you don’t have the confidence and experience and drive to fight for it
my dads recently been jokin a lot about “mystic runes” like i asked what we were gonna do when we took a rest stop in santa barbara and he said “look for mystic runes” and then i asked if we were gonna eat or just walk around while my mom shopped and he said “the runes will tell us”
Unfriendly reminder that all you idiots being like “yeah just pirate media now, fuck corporations!” posting links and just openly telling people where to download pirated media are why it’s so hard to find safe, working sites for it anymore.
I’ve been doing this shit for over 20 years and the availability has gone down as it’s become more mainstream. The more you publicly talk about all these sites the less there are. Shut up. Tell people in private or don’t tell them at all.
inside you, young transmasculine person, is a voice that will tell you not to like certain things because they’re For Girls. that is the voice of the devil, and you must never listen to it.
sometimes i think about how american schools still teach kids that using the atomic bomb to kill countless japanese civilians was a good thing because it “ended the war”, even though that was straight up not true. theres lots of conversations about other countries denying their war crimes, but i dont think there’s enough about america actively celebrating its war crimes and teaching children that it was good to massacre unarmed civilians, that non-american lives dont matter
Hi! I’m Hershel. I’m a queer trans jew who makes queer trans fantasy comics. My current comics are Un/Bound, an urban fantasy about a lesbian with demonic possession going on a road trip to rescue her missing brother, and Shade’s Choice, a prequel comic for that one cat webcomic you might have read a decade ago.
no idea whats happening with artfight (kind of? i know a bit but… its given me a headache so im ignoring it) but i am just
going to go back to animating this revenge
something is up with artfight?
tl;dr staff mass quit bc they were not paid
what the fuck?
QUICK CORRECTION-
the mods are volunteers, they weren’t paid nor did they ask for pay
what they’re upset about is that Takaia is pocketing all the donation money rather than using it to update and improve the site, plus a lack of communication on getting things done yet refusing to let more mods/staff pitch in, so they’re quitting as protest.
the moderators want the event to keep going for the sake of the participants, but ArtFight’s future is dubious unless Takaia cleans up their act.
once again thinking about this guy at the pigeon museum who was giving a little presentation about pigeon mating habits or something, and takes one look at me and my partner and immediately goes “oh and pigeons can be GAY, too!!!”
