The comments on this poet are filled with white nerds being misogynistic lmao, surprise
I know. So many angry white nerds in my inbox after posting this, its hilarious. So here’s some more excellent commentary since the Hardwick story broke:
hardwick came back the other nght and he was CRYING like fucking glenn beck abt how humbled he was to have so many ppl not believe the woman who accused him of bad behavior, like he got benched for three games for shoving the referee or sth
Indigenous people in the Arctic: *cause virtually no harm to the environment with their hunting practices / have been sustainably hunting animals forever / have to suffer the consequences of food deserts and sky-high prices no white vegan will ever have to deal with*
White vegans: you know what’s really bothering me…seal hunting…let’s stop that somehow…
In her award-winning documentary, director Alethea Arnaquq-Baril joins a new tech-savvy generation of Inuit as they campaign to challenge long-established perceptions of seal hunting. Armed with social media and their own sense of humour and justice, this group is bringing its own voice into the conversation and presenting themselves to the world as a modern people in dire need of a sustainable economy.
NEOKOSMOS is the story of human children who are being raised on a space station as part of an alien experiment, after an extinction event that ended all life on the planet Earth. Only allowed to speak to each other via text and screens, and only given access to human culture from an archive of Wikipedia, the kids deal with loneliness, fraught teenage feelings, and the challenges of being raised by a race of cold and calculating lizard aliens with unclear motives. If this weren’t enough, their entire world is flipped upside down when the space station is attacked by a band of menacing space pirates.
In 2015, NEOKOSMOS began its life as an an experimental science fiction webcomic. Our goal was to create a story that read more like an animated film than a comic — each frame of the story was illustrated, with an emphasis on expression, acting, and dialog. Updates included animated gifs, original music by James Roach and Toby Fox, and breathtaking animation by Adrienne Garcia. You can read this version of the story for free right now at neo-kosmos.com !
The webcomic version of NEOKOSMOS ran for 2 years before it was discontinued due to time constraints. While it wasn’t clear to us when we first began NEOKOSMOS, the universe and stories that we wanted to explore ended up too expansive for every frame of the story to be drawn out like a movie. Instead of scrapping the project entirely, we thought long and hard about how to best convey the story that had become so important to us. Eventually, we decided on a solution: revisiting NEOKOSMOS as a fully illustrated series of YA novels.
Since we are both artists as well as writers, we want to create a product that reflects both sides of our creativity. We are going to be experimenting with format and visual storytelling throughout the prose-driven novels, creating what we hope will be a unique and engaging reading experience for everyone!
Our final goal for the NEOKOSMOS series is to create a trilogy of science fiction novels for a young adult audience with a strong focus on neurodiversity and LGBTQ+ themes. With your support, we can make this goal a reality!
However, you don’t have to wait for too long to read the full story! One thing we really liked about having a webcomic was the serial and interactive nature of posting a story as it is worked on – and we are continuing that tradition right here on Patreon! $10 Patrons can follow along with the story as it is written, with new chapters being released EVERY WEEK! If you were a reader of the webcomic and you want to catch up with all the new developments, this is the the tier for you. We are already well past the point where the webcomic left off. Come see what you’re missing!
Hey guys, not to be all THIS IS MY LIFE’S WORK, but this is pretty much my life’s work right now! This project means so much to me and we are relying on the support of our followers to get by as I finish it up!
