Robot Monkey

Back in 2021, I tried my hand at creating an Aurora Nyan Cat inspired by the Aurora Borealis, but I just couldn’t nail it. Honestly, the vision and skills weren’t quite there yet, so I ended up shelving the piece.

A few months ago, I got to see the real Auroras, and it sparked something in me to revisit this piece, and after some time it’s finally finished the way I remembered that moment. Very happy with how it came out, and honestly, it’s okay to step back from a project and come back with fresh eyes—even if it takes a while.

Today I went to see a really big ice cube sliding down a mountain. I’ve never seen such a big piece of ice it was so cool (hehe).

The ice was so blue, like a giant snow cone I wanted to lick it but I didn’t because my tongue would probably get stuck.

Bits fell off it and made a big splash and crash, it sounded like gunshots and I was scared but then I remembered I wasn’t in America so I should be fine.

These twos bills are very bad for the future of the Internet. Like..Very bad.

In a nutshell, KOSA would allow states to sue any websites that host content deemed “harmful” to minors. With such a vague wording, its expected that any nsfw or lgbt content will immediately be taken down.

Plus, it will be made mandatory to use IDs to confirm your age when going online, to so called “protect kids” but all that will cause is a huge potential data breach.

As for the Earn It Act bill, it would allow the governement to spy and filter out antyhing they dont like in private dms for any users,as well as blowing a hole into Section 230 : The thing that prevent websites from being directly liable in case a user post something illegal,instead of the user being punished directly.

I also made comics about these in the past, while the “contact your senators” bits may be outdated, I heavily encourage you to spread the word about this, as the linktrees are very interesting and useful still, especially call script wise.

On Twitter, Wilson Cruz asked why people are so fascinated with Zombie movies/shows.

I couldn't resist giving my 2c:

Or, expanded a whole 47c worth:

Zombies embody our fears of the poor and disenfranchised.

(They will rise up, they outnumber us, they are dirty and wear rags and want to eat us.)

Vampires embody our fears of the rich.

(They prey on mere mortals, they slowly suck us dry, they seduce us, they are beautiful and well-dressed and own castles and we secretly want to become them.)

Werewolves embody our fears of ourselves.

(If the moon is right, and we lose control, we just might rip someone's face off. We are all savage beasts, and we're just barely holding this shit together. Also if someone murders a bunch of people in our town, let's be honest, it was probably one of us gone wrong.)
