“Doing your best” does not mean working yourself to the point of a mental breakdown.

this one still smashes me in the face ten times a year. do not ignore pain, it’s no longer your best at that point

send this to my 17 or 18 year-old self please

Even SLC international airport had a protest tonight… I don’t think anyone was detained, and only 100 people showed up, but I’m pretty sure it was more for solidarity than anything. The LDS church released the following statement:

“The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is concerned about the temporal and spiritual welfare of all of God’s children across the earth, with special concern for those who are fleeing physical violence, war and religious persecution. The Church urges all people and governments to cooperate fully in seeking the best solutions to meet human needs and relieve suffering.”

Aaron and I were talking about it and, like he said… how bad do you have to screw up for the extremely conservative and republican Utah to get up in arms? People are unsettled over what’s happened… I have never seen so much divergence of opinion coming out of the woodwork in all my years living here. It’s getting really, really interesting.

I also personally know several people who go to protests and actively campaign for the rights of others and I am so proud of them. I’m slowly learning to get braver…

9-year-old girl gives care bags to homeless women

After noticing homeless people on her walk to school in Irvine, California, 9-year-old Khloe Thompson decided to start her own charity, dubbed Khloe Kares. She passes out hand-sewn bags filled with life’s little necessities (feminine hygiene products, soap, socks, toothpaste) to homeless women. Thompson’s work doesn’t stop at Kare Bags though, she just led a huge initiative for kids in group homes.

Black excellence!

these little kids are out to change the world!

Protect this child

Get more writing practice and have fun doing it with ~the supplement~

This tutorial contains tips about writing for webcomics, with my caveat that I’m not formally trained in any of this stuff~~ This is all just my personal observations and tips from the past 10 years of putting comics online, but they’ve served me pretty well so far! For some examples of this info applied to my own work, feel free to check out my webcomics at The Meek and Mare Internum.

All of my tutorials are released in lower-res format to the public 6 months after
publication at the Shingworks Patreon. You can access the full tutorial archive, as well as nearly 1.5
years worth of bonus content, by becoming a Patron :] I just wrapped up a two part tutorial about building and launching Patreons, good times.

and thanks in advance for not removing my text <3

Every once in a while, I get asked for advice about starting and writing webcomics and mostly I just start laughing nervously while desperately looking for an escape route, so I’m always really excited to see people way more experienced than me laying it out.
