gotta be honest with you, i'm not too sure about this thing ppl say of "conservatives" being irrationally opposed to "trans people just existing" or whatever. i guess controversial take but no they actually have very concrete reasons to oppose bodily autonomy and the destabilization of sexual roles we represent considering their views on sex/gender and social reproduction overall actually. obviously we must oppose those views as they are 1. wrong and 2. oppressive but like. it's not like they just chose a random minority to hate. i mean otherwise why do you think it's specifically us.

Another dream comic. Had a dream where I was tied to a chair in a dark room and some hooded figures killed me after I begged for my life—but then I got caught in a time loop and so I kept trying to figure out what I could say to get them to not shoot me but they killed me no matter what I said. Started just shouting random stuff eventually.
When you're debugging code, there are a number of possible scenarios, in order of increasing scariness:
The code works, but with some known issues.
The code doesn't work, but I know why.
The code doesn't work, and I don't know why.
The code used to work, but I know what changed.
The code used to work, and I don't know what changed.
The code used to work, failed, and I fixed it so it works again, but now that I fixed it I'm not sure how it EVER worked before.
The code works, even though it clearly shouldn't, and I don't know why.
Just fixed a #6 issue at work so I'm a little shook.

Most writers talk about being the writer that barely writes. Most artists talk about being the artist that barely creates anything. It seems like a joke or a badge of honor or some artificial form of profundity as "quality over quantity" when, in reality, it exposes a serious problem when it comes to creativity as a whole.
We get that people enter a slump sometimes, that great ideas are hard to come by and even harder to execute. However, creativity itself is abundant and comes from a state of ease and flow. If creativity is difficult to inspire in your life that means you're at a state of dis-ease and tension, and you need to relax.
Yes, sometimes pain and stress can create something beautiful. However, destroying yourself for the sake of being creative is never the way to go. That only works in the story, not in real life. In real life, you need to be in a state of ease, a state of flow and harmony so creativity can flow through you effortlessly.
If you're constantly stressed and worried about real life problems and always in survival mode, you will almost never find it easy to be creative. Yes, your story will make a great story but only after you've gone through it and can look back in hindsight. Not while you're in it on the brink of death.
If you want to be more creative and establish better flow as a writer and artist, you need to find ways to ease your mind and body. Take care of yourself because mind, body, and soul are all one. When one is lacking, so are the others. When two are lacking, you can't really partake in higher forms of leisure, can you?
For all the writers that barely write, the artists that barely create, we implore you to find ways to put yourself at ease in mind, body, and soul without destroying yourself as it is only a tranquil mind, nourished body, and content soul that can access the abundance of creativity and keep its waters flowing eternally.
Hope this helps.
Keep Writing. . .

"Today. Tomorrow." a Superman fan comic about Clark Kent, Lois Lane and relationships.
We wanted to tackle one of the trickiest parts of Superman mythos; and that's the entangled romance between Clark Kent, Lana Lang, Lois Lane and Superman. Often times these more mundane parts of Superman get pushed to the side, when they can give so much insight into the characters and what they're seeking from each other.
"Boys went to see Revenge of the Sith for the battles, girls went to see it for Anakin Skywalker 😜" well all the bad bitches went to see it for the tragedy and Bail Organa
when Brennan said "The first rule of existence is: as above, so below. People are fractal images of the universe. You are as we are. In the same way your heart feels and your mind thinks, you, mortal beings are the instrument by which the universe cares. If you choose to care, then the universe cares. If you don't, then it doesn't."
when Brennan said "It is a horrifying responsibility to think because things cannot remain the same, each and every one of us must shoulder some responsibility for how they will become different."
when Brennan said "Sometimes decisions are not difficult. Sometimes they are just hard."
when Brennan said "There is no moral. The Wolf eats you one day and until it does, the forest is beautiful."
when Brennan said "I always felt the fundamental substance of the universe is creation. None of this makes any sense, when you really break it down. It's like, none of this had to happen, but it's beautiful and art is the definition of 'this didn't have to happen, but it's beautiful.' [...] It resonates with the universe because the universe is consciousness playing with itself."
