The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.

I don’t have any formal training, and I bristle at the term “self taught” if applied to myself. I couldn’t have gotten where I am without a community to support me. We all teach, and learn from, each other. That’s how this works.

This is the character I most wanted to draw or paint for a Spider-Man set…because I’m still a 13-year-old at heart. Congrats to Zoltan Boros for his kick-ass handling of this art!

A painting depicting horses in front of a great rock. Big old stylised clouds in the background. A painting depicting some big fun clouds and... Cacti? Some kinda desert plant. A painting depicting... Rocks? It's very stylised, ok - there's a mountain in the desert and some rocks. A painting depicting beautifully stylised trees in the mesa. I think that's the right word.

I don't get how people don't realize that a technology that replaces junior and entry level positions in a field destroys that field. There's no skipping steps. You have to be a junior before you can be a senior, and if you don't have senior people, you don't have a field.

People are misreading him when they say he’s going to appeal Trump voters by *avoiding* “culture war” issues. He just doesn’t want to debate them because, to him, there’s no debate.

Reportedly, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is wooing Maine Governor Janet Mills to run for the nomination. At 77, a win against Collins would make her the oldest senate freshman in history. (Platner is 40.) Platner's campaign only becomes an insurgency against Susan Collins if he first survives the Democratic establishment. His pointed critiques of party inaction have already set the tone. His candidacy isn't just about beating Republicans, it's about forcing Democrats to do more than fundraise off of their failures. Perhaps he should let those calls go to voicemail. Platner sees no reason to fear spooking a Trump voter on issues the Democratic consultant class has deemed to be politically radioactive. Before I'd pulled out my notebook, Platner and I talked about our favorite science fiction franchises. Platner told me that Star Trek's optimism had inspired his earliest interest in policy.

Sigh. Here we go. A lot of people who aren't in America want to know why Americans aren't protesting *squints* every single minute of the day. Let's break this down, shall we? Keep in mind, l have a shit ton of work to do, but I'm completely willing to take like five minutes and explain this. REPLYING TO: montrealforreal So why aren't you in the streets every single minute of the day. Oh right, you can't miss your Netflix shows. theeverywhereist o 3h 1/ First and foremost: Americans are protesting. Sorry if you don't see it. Sorry if the news isn't covering it. But people everywhere are rallying, speaking out in town halls, trying to get a hold of politicians who LITERALLY ARE AVOIDING THEM, calling, and doing whatever else they fucking can. Maybe the bigger question is why isn't that getting any coverage? theeverywhereist o 3h 2/ America doesn't have a lot of social services, and Trump is gutting even more. So the ways in which a lot of us are being active and protesting this fucking administration might not be in a way that is visible to you. It's donating to our local foodbanks, LGBTQ+ organizations, local women's shelters, abortion funds, and other groups that we know are being hit hard by cuts to federal funding and support. Sorry that's not sufficient for you but we're in fucking triage mode here. theeverywhereist o 3h ..• 3/ Our police are militarized. I don't know how to explain this any clearer: our police are armed to the fucking hilt. Riot gear. Armored cars. Arsenals. I live in a blue city in a blue county in a blue state and the Seattle police force sent more officers to the JANUARY SIXTH RIOTS THAN ANY OTHER PD. Our police forces overwhelmingly support Trump. Oh, and his supporters have weapons, too. We're still protesting but it is fraught as hell. And if someone is scared to? I'm gonna respect that. theeverywhereist a 3h 4/ Our health care is tied to employment. This is true for almost everyone I know. And yes, getting sick (even minorly) in this country can bankrupt you. I had major surgery a few years ago, and the adjusted price for it was like $200k if I didn't have insurance. So people cannot take time off of their jobs or they will literally lose their insurance. And people don't have support like daycare or family to help them if they've got kids. Hell, we don't even have mandatory parental leave. 5/12 theeverywhereist @ 3h 5/ Our country is fucking huge. Do you know how long it would take me to get to a protest in DC? More than 5 hours. BY PLANE. If I flew out with a week's notice (unlikely for a protest) | would pay about $700. l'd have to stay at a hotel because I don't fucking live in DC. So we're talking thousands of dollars and days off work to go protest in the capitol. But let's say that someone did do that. There would be a big issue, and that would be ... 6/ The president has fucking militarized DC. Oh, and also, he doesn't give a shit. Protest works when your elected officials are beholden to their constituents. These ones are not. They don't fucking care. 7/12 theeverywhereist @ 3h 7/ The broken system is designed to protect itself. The electoral college is really fucking stupid, but you know what it's great at? Protecting itself. Ditto for gerrymandering. The amazing thing about these systems is that they are excellent at being bulletproof. And they've been in place for hundreds of fucking years. It's not supposed to be reflective of the interests of the people - so why would the interests of the people be able to change it? 8/12 theeverywhereist @ 3h 8/ Lobbying is legal in America. And SuperPACs mean elections can be bought. At the end of the day, elected officials are beholden to the people who pay their bills, not their constituents. Thanks to SuperPACs, if you have money, you can essentially give endless amounts of it to a politicians campaign (see: Elon, who had a SuperPAC that consisted of only him, that donated a quarter of a billion dollars to Trump in the weeks before the election). 9/ The country is really big. I know I said it, but I'm saying it again. It takes me 7 hours to visit family. By plane. If I drive for three hours north, do you know what state I'm in? I AM IN THE SAME STATE I WAS IN. And this is advantageous to Trump, because if people are spread out, it's hard for them to assemble in large groups. So, yeah, it's going to look really fragmented to you. I have no solution for that. Maybe if I drive south for three hours NO I AM STILL IN THE SAME STATE. theeverywhereist o 3h I get that you are fucking angry. I'm livid. This shit is terrifying. Every week my goal is to try to support my community in some small way. I try to have some small form of resistance, even if it's just buying school supplies for the local shelter that is in need. It's small shit but whatever. It's something. And yeah, sometimes I watch fucking TV. Because it helps me stay sane. And if you're sad and exhausted all the time, you're useless in a fight. 11/12 theeverywhereist o 2h P.S. - I want to say something else. None of this is an excuse to do nothing. But it's because I know how hard people are fighting that I feel like I need to explain what's going on. No one is happy about this. And it must be fucking hell to watch from outside because it's hell to watch from the inside. But please don't alienate Americans by thinking we all want this. That's how authoritarianism really takes hold.

Been a year. Time to repost this.

YOUR PORTFOLIO CRIT THINGS I'D TELL YOU IF I WERE LOOKING AT YOUR WORK IN PERSON 1 Violating the 180 degree rule makes this sequence hard to follow 2 A few more incidental overlaps will make this foreshortening clearer 3 Symmetrical compositions with a character dead center imply an important moment. Don't draw every panel like that? 4 This __ looks kind of fake. Take the time to look at reference instead of just making it up 5 An establishing shot will help the reader understand where this takes place. 6 Find a life-drawing session to attend, or practice from photos online. 7 Show these pages to someone who doesn't know the story and ask them to tell the story back to you. 8. Nudge this part over a bit to eliminate that tangency. 9 You flattened out the depth by rendering the foreground, middle ground, & background with the same values. Create depth and direct the eye by organizing them into overlapping planes of light & dark. 10 there are better ways to use your time than rendering every brick. 11 these characters look like they're floating (or falling). Draw figures and bg from the same eye level. 12 Unless this will be a wordless comic, leave more room for the lettering

this point—that this era is not forever and accountability can come in many forms—has for some reason proved bizarrely elusive for democrats

Let’s be clear: the National Guard troops, federal law enforcement, and D.C. police cannot violate the Constitution or the D.C. Home Rule Act. Understanding your rights can help you make the best decision for yourself if approached by law enforcement.

I'm scared that a huge issue is not being aware: On Aug 29th the US is removing the de minimis rule on all packages. Being international, de minimis meant no one payed tariffs on my goods since it was under $800. Now there will be a $80-200 fee to receive my art. Even for a $5 sticker. 🔸(1/4)

reposted this today because the inverse is also true: if you abandon trans people right now, you are abandoning civil rights period. if you can't stand up for trans people when it matters, no one should, or will, ever trust you when the bullseye moves to the next target.
