To summarize: the people of Namaygoosisagagun (Colin) narrowly escaped a wildfire that burned their community down. Their displacement is due to the lack of federal aid due to the Candian government not recognizing them as a First Nation. (Link)

Canada does not have a national firefighting service, meaning that territories and provinces are left to provide their own fire suppression and prevention methods. Amongst those affected disproportionately are the indigenous communities.

As most of you know, this is not the first time something similar has happened. Historically, indigenous people were even blamed for wildfires in the past. For those of you who are not aware of the treatment of indigenous people in Canada and the gross negligence of denying them the ability to perform fire prevention practices, I urge you to look it up if you can stomach it.

Putting my money where my mouth is under the readmore.

Found my fav Slay the Princess route recently. Dragon my beloved. Your horrifying beak mouth was an impossible-to-refuse lip syncing challenge 💖

we don’t do things most ferrets do

i am a painter, bold and proud

my strokes precise, my colors loud

i illustrate for ferretkind

with shades and hues both intertwined

i am a pilot, in command

traversing both the sea and land

the great expanse i must transgress

"This better be the last surprise of the night!"

start now. now. now now now. or else you'll never draw this damn thing

it's fine if you don't have the entire story figured out yet, it'll happen naturally

draw what you want to draw!! webcomics often run for years, so you better work with something you like

don't overcomplicate things. a simple, efficient work flow is your top priority in order to stay consistent

bullshit some things. trace background refs. reuse poses. draw your character's face from different angles and just copy paste it in to save time. be smart about your work baby

take breaks if needed. webcomic burnout is real

sometimes, a panel or a page looks bad. shit happens. move on

lettering is actually really important and super hard to pull off

it's your comic. do what you want forever!!!

I'm begging you again to work smart, not hard. reuse backgrounds. use brush sets for webcomic artists. trace 3D objects. use 3D models to pose your characters

you may need hours or days to draw one panel, but people will look at it for 5-8 seconds. keep that in mind

a simple background is better than no background at all (avoiding the white void increases the quality of your work by a ton!)

sometimes the anatomy needs to be a little off to make an interesting shot/panel. that's fine, don't worry about it too much

at least 2000px canvas and 300 dpi for good quality results
