Special Delivery, a sapphic Riddlebird comic I drew in 2021

This isn't the complete story, but I wanted to upload the first couple pages, since this was a project I really enjoyed working on. All of these pages are pg and sfw. Hope you enjoy & please don't redistribute these elsewhere :)

More under the cut (14 pages)

the postive response this got, back when i released it, is still so precious to me.

this made me grow so much as an artist (even tho rereading this, i would improve...so many things lol). it reminds me that I can just be self indulgent, and there will still be others out there to enjoy the same obscure thing and share the excitement; even if what I make isn't perfect.

idk man, im just deeply grateful i guess

Hi, Tumblr. It’s Tumblr. We’re working on some things that we want to share with you. 

AI companies are acquiring content across the internet for a variety of purposes in all sorts of ways. There are currently very few regulations giving individuals control over how their content is used by AI platforms. Proposed regulations around the world, like the European Union’s AI Act, would give individuals more control over whether and how their content is utilized by this emerging technology. We support this right regardless of geographic location, so we’re releasing a toggle to opt out of sharing content from your public blogs with third parties, including AI platforms that use this content for model training. We’re also working with partners to ensure you have as much control as possible regarding what content is used.

Here are the important details:

If you have concerns, please read through the Help Center doc linked above and contact us via Support if you still have questions.

unfortunately, a lot of the userbase won't opt out. those who don't see this post, those who have posted to tumblr but don't anymore, users on older versions of the app who forget to opt out next time they're on desktop, etc. the point of making it opt-out is to take advantage of people who wouldn't have opted in but don't/can't opt out in time. automatically opting out people who have discouraged search crawling is a gesture that helps Tumblr look more kind, but from the fact that everyone else has to manually opt out, Tumblr is definitely not looking benevolent.

I wonder, will Tumblr/Automattic be selling images from deactivated blogs? I assume deactivated blogs can't opt out.

when will they start selling this data? Is it already too late to keep them from selling every image you've posted before you opted out?

and if they're especially malicious, I wonder if they could get away with saying "this image is from a blog that's opted out, but it was reblogged by a blog that hasn't opted out, so we're selling the image that's on that non-opted-out blog."

making users need to opt out to keep their images from being taken and sold is a shitty move that makes it clear Tumblr/Automattic don't respect our privacy, and @staff are really not giving us much info here to suggest otherwise.

In case you lost it - a link to the eSIM donation guide. Even if you feel sick and powerless, you can at least do this. And even if you really, really can't donate, you can always at least share this and remind others.

OUR PINUP CALENDAR ARTIST LINEUP CHECKS IN!

After hours of conversation and going through Ibis' lovely powerpoint we have chosen our wonderful artists. It's always very difficult making these choices, so firstly THANK YOU to everyone who submitted. All the artists did an excellent job and if you weren't selected this time, I hope you resubmit for future projects!

Our lineup of course includes Jay and Ibis as graphic design and mods, myself as writer, and Lily will be doing this years cover.

Official Hotel Podcast artists Izzy Filthyguts Chavez and Parasitic Saint are each gracing us with a piece. Check under the cut for more social media @ for everyone!

We've got a full house; some old friends and fresh faces, the Staff and New Crew fully represented and there's even a couple of extra characters that I'm very excited to see!

Big big big huge thank you to Ibis and Jay, who not only originated this project wholly independent of me and the show last year, but also who are keeping it going and running everything with efficiency and grace. Special projects like this and The Guestbook would not be possible without those two. Working with the Hotel community continues to be the very top privilege and pleasure of running this spooky little podcast.
