Attn: gay parents & children of gay parents

From my daughter:

Hi everyone! My name is Mika and I'm a 17-year old high school junior. I identify as gay myself and have two gay dads. I'm working on this high school project on the experience of being a child with gay parents and as of right now I'm my only resource! I'm really curious about the experience so if you (or your kids) could take a second to fill out my form! Completely anonymous don't feel like you have to give me any personal information.

I'm located around the SF area of California and I'm always down to chat if anyone else wants to share their experience or have kids around my age who might not know who to talk to! 🙂

I sometimes thought my father thought he could't die while he still had books on his pending pile (a stab at immortality I seem to be replicating)... so, it was strangely touching to see Tom Gauld has had similar thoughts.

As an artist you wield a great power

Trite AF to say but if your scene can´t tolerate beginners, it will never give birth to experts.

Best. Horns. Ever.

Can't spell "fediverse" without "diverse", is all I'm saying.

I keep thinking of this cursed resistor pride flag I found quite a while ago

More fan art backlog go-through, this time from 2023: two drawings of Raziel from Legacy of Kain; one done at the beginning of the year and the other at the very end.

The funny thing is that Raziel isn't my _favorite_ favorite LoK character (that's actually Mortanius, lmao) but he's got a unique enough design that it, weirdly enough, helps break art block. :V

Mother’s Day!

Lowest day of crime on the calendar. Thanks for keeping your moms busy with flowers and brunches. Keep them off the streets and preventing them from committing crimes 💪

For my birthday, I'd really like it if my beloved fedi could spread word far and wide of Kitsune Tails. It's a platformer with a heartwarming story featuring queer main characters and personal discoveries in classic SMB3 style. You can find trailer, screenshots, and wishlist links here: https://kitsunegames.com/kitsunetails/

It's coming out this year and the team and I have been working hard on it for several years now. Most of the team is queer in some form so by boosting you'd not only be making me happy on my birthday, but supporting a bunch of queer creators making queer art as well

After the mourners left and twilight fell, another group crept into the cemetery. They skulked behind headstones, creeping carefully with their shovels.

The Widow Redmond had been buried with her jewels and she didn't need them where she had gone...

They worked quickly; the sky still had a hint of purple when they cracked open her casket.

And then the Widow Redmond opened her spiritfire eyes.

"I've been dead for ten years, you idiots," she said, grinning.

They were the seventh group of grave-robbers she'd helped catch.

Reprinted and back in stock on our website: STUPID GUY GOES TO INDIA, an autobiographical manga chronicling the adventures of Yukichi Yamamatsu, whose missionary zeal for spreading manga culture inspired him to leave Japan for the first time at the age of 56 to move to Delhi, without knowing any English or Hindi, and try to start a publishing company. Hilarious hi-jinks ensue!
