I just wanted to tell you that this comic also works as a scene straight from #Expedition33

Can confirm. 😂

what if you are both? it feels like i throw rocks at myself 😅😅

Such a cool piece!

On behalf of extroverts, would like to apologise for the rocks 😅

Most of you mean well, it’s all good 😌

Me too, we don’t mean harm always though it may look like it.

Nah, I'd like to apologize to the rocks

Extroverts need to leave us alone.

@gothtatertot.bsky.social

I’d love to see a comic about people like me: social interactions drain all of my energy but people think I’m extroverted so when I decline things or just want to stay home and read I get asked if I’m okay 🤔

I don't like...😬

I dunno, maybe "that outgroup you dislike is trying to kill you" isn't the message we need right now

This is an insane way to interpret this entirely harmless comic about cute animals. Please stop doomscrolling and go outside. I get things are bleak, and we're in a REALLY bad spot society wise, but you sincerely need to step back from the media for a moment and get some fresh air and recalibrate.

I seem to have this effect and i love it :>

i think actual introverts like me wanna open up but just don't really know how

Oh no... tried it...not for me. I'll stay in my shell. Lol

Extroverts will discover your sweet juicy meat hidden in that shell!

I, like a seagull, prefer to drop my husband from a great height into a social situation he is not prepared for

🤣🤣🤣

„Extroverts eat introverts for breakfast“ - or what’s the message?

how blod-bath-ly appropriate

Sarah I love your comics ♥️ would you consider describing the image?

I realtor you request is for integrated alt text but wre is my atmetoZ I apolgoxe for the typos. I did my best.

This is so brilliant 😍

Lmao, love it

@kmfao.bsky.social otter, meet clam

Christ, most people in the comments are rancid. Great art, it's nice when an extrovert takes me places and becomes my friend. (I DON'T interpret the rock as forcing an introvert open)

Im definitely a rock smasher. Our bad for keeping life interesting, but my partner is an introvert and I would be lost without her.

This kills the introvert.

Alt text: For panel comic in two blocks Top block is labeled “Introverts” In 2 panels a Bivalve says “no, I will not open up” Second Block is labeled: “Extroverts” 2 Pandlsd, diet panel is an otter. Sedona pale of Otter lifting Rock (Subtext: otters use rocks to break open bivalves)

We can understand the pic, thanks

Hello to @zynkolion.bsky.social … you don’t need to brag to disabled people that you can fully comprehend the content when a disabled person does their best to make a content accessible to their disabled peers by adding Alt text prior to sharing it in the disabled community.

I hope you know this already but in case you don’t, please don’t brag about being sighted, hearing, fully mobile, otherwise abled, etc … when you encounter Blind, Deaf, Mobility Impaired, otherwise disabled people in public … it’s not generally taken well by members of the disabled community.

Many of us (disabled people) take pride in our differences but we don’t need abled people altering us to their abled state when we, for instance, Are using a mobility ramp to get into a building.

Alt text was ratified as the official global standard for disabled access to the internet in 1999, over a quarter century ago. @bsky.app reminds every user when they upload content the importance of Alt text but many ignroe. There are even setting to remind you to use it so you don’t forgot.

Not to beat a dead horse as they say @zynkolion.bsky.social but as you can see, some people benefit from alt text even if you don’t. This is but one example.

Apparently you didn't understand alt-text, but hopefully now you do!

It's not for you.

Thank you for this, it's always disappointing when a prominent artist doesn't feel the need to make their art accessible.

A disappointment is the end of something that was falsely appointed. You thinking Sarah or anyone else owes you or anyone else alt text when they actually don't is on you.

Well aren’t you a delightful person. Common courtesy is something we all owe each other. This is why society can exist, bc we are kind to each other. Ofc this applies only until someone acts in a way to revokes it, by being a dick. Your “everyone for themselves” is just a recipe for misery.

Listen to yourself talk. You are entitled. You believe you or any hypotheticals who struggle with visuals are entitled to Sarah's time and attention. Writing alt texts takes both. You aren't entitled to either, and it is not unkind of anyone to prioritize their time and attention as they see fit.

If politeness is entitlement in your mind, you live in a rough world pal. Common courtesy isn’t entitlement, it’s common courtesy. Come now, you’re better than that. It takes very little to add alt text. I’ve had it on each of the pics I’ve posted here, sans the very first. It’s not hard.

"Common courtesy" starts to become entitlement when you start trying to enforce or demand it. The thing about common courtesy is that people are doing it by themselves, not because they are shamed by others into it. "Come on, you're better than that" Better than being emotionally manipulated, yes

It doesn't matter if it's "not hard". It takes time and attention. That is a fact. Not everyone has the spoons to constantly compose alt text, nor should people ever feel obligated to use the feature. Does it make the work more accessible? Yes. Does it help AIgen? Also yes. Does it tale extra...

... time and spoons? Yes again. There might be reasons why people choose not to use it. Maybe we don't have to be judgemental twats about who does and doesn't use it, how about it? People do not owe it to you or anyone to use it. This isn't "not having common courtesy".

Like, I am in no way against people using alt text, and neither am I against people asking others to use it to make their content more accessible - nicely. But saying "I am disappointed" isn't it. If it turns into a point of shaming and emotional manipulation, I am against it. That's all.

Just as artists are completely in their rights to not make their art accessible, followers are in their rights to give feedback. And those artists again are in their rights to ignore it, as we are seeing here.

Reposting the comic with alt text (without typos).

For reasons unknown to me you have left out context. When you seek to redo what I have worked to do “without thosel” Please don’t reject those whose disabilities require context like many of my Autistic peers & similarly disabled people. even bluesky notes the relevance of context

Thank you big If you wish to be helpful, the disabled community is better served by you adding alt text to content witho any alt text then following a disabled person around “corrrctinf” the alt text they have already created. I assume the logic of that is as undeniable to you as it is to me.

Oh, I understand what you mean now. Normally, I would reply to the original image, but someone replied to you very confused about a typo. I thought I should reply under yours for anyone confused about your alt text. Next time, I'll reply directly to the original post.

Thank you. I appreciate that. I know you mean weeks but I have several processing direocird and when i the discuss of my own typical come up it starts beocmes like recursive errors and I loose all capacity for landforms at all. … like .. zo am not sure this skeet is even legible at this point.

I know I don’t write “good” alt text, I am an alt text consumer, its iron that I write alt text bug I do eha I can.

Sorry, but there are actually 4 serious typos in your alt text, all of them in the Extroverts panels description. This would make the Extroverts panels description incomprehensible for someone listening to it from a screen reader.

What is a diet panel?

As a shy extrovert, I probably need some help from a rock.

What exactly is the 'extrovert' doing in that picture?

Picking up a rock to smash open the shell

Admittedly it does get a bit awkward when you're an introvert that likes to carry around rocks (mostly for gardening purposes) You feel like such a squid.

"I shall break you introvert. Like a clam upon my tummy!"

😂😂😂😂😂😂

Not even threats of violence will have me speak my innermost thoughts

Love it. I'm surrounded by introverts ☹️

"Yes you will... WITH GREAT VIOLENCE!

As an introvert this is funny. 1) Just because. The illustration is hilarious and there is some truth to it. 2) I'm an introvert currently trying to get an extrovert to knock down his barriers with me.

My sister would have loved this. ❤️

Always such a rare treat for an extro to respect an intro... Always so many armed with stones instead...

I love how much expression you can put into a character with so little.

Otters!

Good luck, I'm behind 7 shell proxies!

I assume the message is that extroverts with no respect for boundaries are dangerous predators who'll hurt you for their own benefit?

To be honest, when an extrovert interacts with me, it is hurting me. They zap all my energy. I literally have to take a nap after interacting with them.

there's no such thing as introverts or extroverts. you're just a weird bigot with bad social skills, hth

Yes, psychology isn't real. You probably think vaccines cause autism, chemtrails are real, Ivermectin cures Covid, and we never went to the moon either.

But not all that tires you hurts? Working out, reading, playing games, walking, literally being awake, absolutely everything will take your energy (at different rates ofc) but it doesn’t mean it’s hurting you, right? That said, there needs to naturally be a balance, so you don’t tire too much.

It makes me extremely hungry, but yes my energy was stolen.

Its not just physical exhaustion. Its emotional also.

Please use alt text so everyone can enjoy your work!

That rock’s gonna cause the kind of headache we introverts get from overexposure to extroverts.

Yep, very much 😂

As an extrovert, this is accurate. Sorry 😬

Oh that's me. At the top. xD

Yes, extroverts often feel like predators.

Every fuckin family party

This is Painfully true.

As an extrovert, I would never.

I feel personally attacked by an otter with a rock

Oh no

I am both creatures in this photo somehow.

Ambiverts be like

@taisbravo.bsky.social dsclp amiga kkkkk

@sarahseeandersen.bsky.social , why you keep don't putting alt on your posts ? Do you hate disabled peoples ?

me and @pepper-n-celery.bsky.social

correct

I love this for so many reasons, but most of all cause it works on so many levels. Genius!

I’m “extrovert” in this scenario

😱

Ha!🤣

So true!

Gonna see your insides one way or another!

💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝

Hah x3

I'm just showing them my favorite rock (so that they start info dumping, that's the real trick to getting them to open up 😉)

It's true. Introverts are delicious.

How I felt turning up to my nice, quiet local store for a few groceries only to find that they were celebrating their tenth birthday and I had to walk the gauntlet of stalls and shoppers just to get inside.

Oof. I recently went into my usual grocery store to discover a line wrapping all through the bakery with crowd control and everything. Thankfully it just turned out to be some kind of signing event with a football player and not anything that interfered with checking out.

Preys and their predators 😂

This kills the introvert

Ironically considering what the otter is going to do to the clam this only proves that introverts are correct to stay closed.

On behalf of the extroverts, we're sorry, we're trying to help, we can't help it, we need to do better. 😊

🤣I know, but....😊

Speaking as an introverted personality, sometimes extraverts reaching out to me is welcome and good for me. Even introverts can get lonely, and when I do I think I can have a harder time overcoming it than extraverts do, because I can't or don't know how to help myself get out of that feeling.

We just fake it, takes practice, but it's basically a lie. Everyone has SOMETHING ❤️

Just for clarification: what's basically a lie?

The faking it when you're down

Thanks!

We don't need any help. Especially not from the likes of you.

How charming. Maybe you're not an introvert as much as avoided by civil people.

Ah, yes, "civil". Trying to brute-force boundaries, because you cannot feel joy without it. You don't care about getting us to open up; you just want your dopamine rush. Well, sister, there are other ways to get it. Try other extroverts.

This piece was made in collaboration with The Marine Mammal Center. We have made signed prints available and a portion of all proceeds will go to them! loom.ly/IzYCNDY

I don't see a watermark anywhere and I want to share it with a friend who isn't on here. Do you have hidden markings? I like to make sure the artist gets credit

Hiatus over?

Hey that's awesome :D

Oh signed by you, not otters.. Oh ok. Still neat 👍🥺

Oh I love that place!

Hey, don't call me out.

lol It's sooo true, so so true... Anyways~

You cut the bit where the extrovert tells everyone we're all extroverts

These new cartoons don't have your name signed on them! If I saw these in some random place I would be like "who made these? I want to find more"

Click through the link, the pieces are signed underneath the panels.

@tomakeys.bsky.social

Extrovert here, crying with laughter at the accuracy

You try to harm people for your own joy?

Well, in a way like my husband and me used to be. Him being dragged out by his noisy shorty of a loud and bubbly GF.

"Come out of your shell" I hated that phrase growing up and I still hate it.

Seriously! If I'm in a position where a person is asking me to, then I've already came out of my shell by just being here. Take it or leave it 😅

Ditto, virtual friend. Had a public-facing job and it was draining.

I wasn't prepared for how draining social interactions would become in my mid-life. I have to go home and take a nap afterward. Some people worry that I spend too much time alone not realizing that it's much more enjoyable than being with them. Even if I like them.

Completely understand. I go to classic movie events and chat with people in line because we speak the same language, but there’s a point where I have to take a break and just be quiet.

Yes! And random people telling me I'm "quiet" or "shy". No, I'm not shy, I just don't wanna talk to you.

"Get out of your comfort zone" For what? For your amusement? I been tricked before...

😆😆😆

Lol. Damned extroverts 😓

As an extrovert, accurate.

hey HEY

The way I cackled at this.

Go away leave me alone

stereotype much?

Kinda feel like we’re back in the 2012 tumblr introvert vs extrovert discourse. Cute comic, tho.

Just saw this on my feed and chirped with delight. Missed your comics!

This is legit!

Sounds about right.

Oh, how am I not already following Sarah here?

Alternate captions: Abel, Cain.

while in the break room during my past jobs at the mall, they kept trying to chat when I wanted to be alone lol

Oh that’s cute, only a rock? Also, implying Extroverts are predators that want to destroy you
