The Good Fight Kickstarter is almost 80% funded! Thanks to everyone for their support of this project.
All funds raised beyond those covering the production of the book will be donated to The Southern Poverty Law Center.
Given this story from the Washington Post today, it’s a good fight we should all be making.

Just because your work isn’t popular doesn’t mean it’s not important. Just because you feel invisible doesn’t mean you are. Even if it’s only to your friends, you’re visible. Even if they’re the only ones who read it right now, your work is important. I’m sorry you feel that way and it sucks, but your writing isn’t about popularity. Your writing is because you have universes exploding inside you, forcing their way out through your fingertips. Create your own fandoms and fill it with those who love you. And if you’re feeling invisible, reach out to a friend who can let you know that they see you. They see you writing. And they care.
I needed this right now.

I’m not gonna say I was looking for something else entirely because I was in fact trying to find a gif of Chris Evans when I came across this, but this is not what I was looking for. And yet it is possibly the best thing I’ve ever found.
What the hell even is Chris Evans. What the hell.
Pumpkin Spice Evans
Reblog Pumpkin Spice Evans for a bountiful harvest and a large glass of ginger ale
Shit I love ginger ale
This is by far the finest reaction to Pumpkin Spice Evans to date.
It’s September therefore it’s automatically fall therefore it is Pumpkin Spice Evans time
Oh my god I forgot Pumpkin Spice Evans. How could I forget Pumpkin Spice Evans?
GUYS REBLOG QUICKLY FOR A BOUNTIFUL HARVEST AND A LARGE GLASS OF GINGER ALE!
Okay.
hey gyns let me plug a book for a second. its a childhood favorite of mine, but its also one of the best fairy tale books for little girls, imho. its called ‘the serpent slayer: and other stories of strong women’, and its a collection of fairy tales from around the world whose main characters are women. some of my favorite stories from it include:
neesowa and the chenoo - when an injured chenoo (an evil, cannibalistic monster) stumbles upon neesowa’s camp, she throws the monster off balance by treating him with kindness and sharing her home with him as he recovers, which pays off when another chenoo attacks her camp.
grandmother skull - a young woman, neruvana, marries a man who kills her entire family and abandons her. thankfully, the skull of her grandmother comes to life to teach her how to survive and to help her get revenge.
beebyeebyee and the water god - a young woman, beebyeebyee, falls in love with a water god who is slain by the envious people of her village. she gets revenge.
three whiskers from a lions chin - maria wants to help her husband, who returned from war a changed man, and the local bruja sends her off to get three whiskers from a lions chin, apparently a key ingredient in a magic spell that will bring her husband back to himself. when she brings the whiskers back to the bruja, the woman explains that there is no magic spell, but that with time, and the same patience she used to get the whiskers, she can help her husband recover.
the old woman and the devil - a brilliant old woman faces off with the devil in a bet to convince him to leave her spot in the shade. she outwits him, and undoes the harm he did as well.
duffy the lady - a version of rumplestiltskin where a housekeeper who cant knit or spin accepts a deal with a devil who will do the tasks for her for three years, if she will marry him at the end of the three years if she cannot guess his name. spoiler alert: she can.
sister lace - a creation myth about the stars, when the emperor hears of sister lace’s incredible lace-making abilities, he has her brought to the palace and ordered to marry him. when she refuses, he has her imprisoned unless she can spin him a live rooster. her skill and blood bring the bird to life, but she remains imprisoned, until, eventually, she finds her way out.
a marriage of two masters - a very intelligent young woman who speaks only in riddles meets a man who sees the world the same way, and as they decipher one anothers riddles, they fall in love.
clever marcella - marcella, a genius, fascinates the prince, and they agree to marry, provided she not interfere with his rule. when she feels compelled to challenge a ridiculous ruling he made on a case, he orders her to take whatever she likes from the palace and then leave. she solves the problem as anyone in love would, compels the prince to see the error of his ways, and becomes the kingdoms chief justice.
the rebel princess - to escape an unwanted arranged marriage, judith and her ladies-in-waiting take to the open sea. when they come across a ship of pirates who decide they will each marry one of the women, the crew steal their clothes, their treasure, and their lives. by the end of the story, judith has been crowned king in place of an heir-less king who drowned.
its just a really, really good book, with a portrayal of women that most fairy tales dont have. theyre kind and wise mentors and teachers, not wicked stepmothers and ugly hags, and an undeveloped marriage to a man isnt their be-all and end-all. i really encourage you to get a copy for any little girls in your life, especially who enjoy fairy tales.
Sounds awesome!
THE ILLUSTRATOR IS TRINA SCHART HYMAN WHO WAS A FANTASTICALLY COOL LADY THAT YOU SHOULD READ ABOUT AND ADMIRE AS MUCH AS I GREW UP DOING AND WHO PROBABLY DESERVES HER OWN WONDERFULLY ILLUSTRATED FAIRY TALE
Here’s a picture of Marlowe to make this post suck less.
As most of you know, I deactivated my Twitter account earlier this month. It had been a long time coming, for a whole host of reasons, but Twitter’s decision to be the only social network that gives Alex Jones a platform to spew hate, hurt innocent people, and incite violence was the final straw for me. But I haven’t regretted leaving for…
Good God.
Twitter is like the bat signal for thousands of tiny racist Batmen. Batbabies.
I had hoped Mastodon would become a refuge, but the pervading stupid and evil of the world will find a way to destroy the people and social places you love to follow. And more than likely, the inanely racist, misogynistic, idiotic users do it because they’re bored, unhappy, and they think it’ll bring them some kind of fame/infamy—and it never will.
Twitter has already destroyed “Guardians of the Galaxy”. I’m sickened by that. It’s scourged accounts by people I love to follow like Kelly Sue Deconnick, and Wil Wheaton. Twitter is a place of slowly calcifying cruelty—and yet I cling to it, as if to hold on to the potential for goodness. It’s still there, the goodness, drifting through the cracks.
Here’s how I color line art. There are probably lots of ways, but this is how I do it.
First, I should say that I almost always work in RGB color mode and almost none of the lines I work with have been bitmapped (meaning each pixel isn’t either 100% black or 100% white).
For example, here’s a cover Tom Fowler drew for my Image series Lake of Fire.
Tom works traditionally, with brush and ink on paper, so his lines have a lot of variation from black to grey.
You’d never be able to select just the line work by using the wand tool, but that’s no problem. Just go to your Channels palette*, hold down the Command button and click on the top RGB channel. That’ll load it as a selection and you’ll see all the marching ants parading around the line art.
* (If you’re doing this after you’ve already done some coloring, just turn off the visibility of all layers but the line art layer before opening your channels)
no offense but this image looks exactly like finn and rey and i’m counting on yall to use it in all your finnrey aesthetics from now on
edit: here’s where the picture is from

That’s super cute!
