self-care is tricking your self-loathing brain into a roundabout form of self-love by intensely loving a fictional character you really relate to

Anonymous asked: My Mod please please PLEASE take at least a week off without drawing anything but what you need to probably do for work. Please I worry for you're physical health.
I really actually might? it’s horrible because it’s driving me insane to draw as little as I am rn but would that be okay? i mean, maybe that’s dumb to ask, but the page for TPoH after this one is like, really complicated and I only managed this one bc I drew a lot before I dinged up my leg… I may have to take a week’s full hiatus for health and it bites but would that? be acceptable I mean you guys are basically my boss okayy
Anonymous asked: Uncle Mod I really love your comics and they inspire me to create art. I've taken classes since I was a kid and write often, but somehow it's like I'm never good enough? We aren't allowed to do anything cartoony in class, just realistic stuff. I can't do anatomy and my writing goes to pieces. I know I've been given the opportunities to learn, but I feel like I've wasted them. I'm 15 this year so I know I've got time to learn, but I can't help but feel lost. do you have any advice?
putting this one under a cut ‘cause it got way long!

TPoH: Update!
New page available here on the TPoH website! I also will be going back to updating on smackjeeves in the near(ish) future, when I have time to catch up and post lots of pages! Sorry for the lack of a comments section until then.
Not a native English speaker? Try out the TRANSLATIONS PAGE on my home website in case there’s a translation there for you!
If you like the idea of having more than one page of TPoH a week or just want to help keep a soul and body together, please consider supporting me on Patreon, even just one or two dollars a month helps!
There are also always lots of my doodles to buy on nice stuff on my RedBubble account or in my Society6 merch box :D
Breaking news: The D.C. Appeals Court just killed Net Neutrality.
This could be the end of the Internet as we know it. But it doesn’t have to be.
Tell the FCC to restore Net Neutrality: http://bit.ly/1iOOjoethey want to make the internet like tv. with channels and paying to get to specific websites and things. net neutrality = not doing that
This impacts every internet user. Please signal boost the hell out of this and sign the petition if you are American
I do not reblog things like this very often, but this affects me both personally and my business as a freelance artist.
In the economy here; cash is already strapped as it is. You bet your ass companies would suck the ever living life out of misc. art sites.
I don’t want it to ever come down to me choosing between groceries or purchasing a new tier package via comcast to be able to access tumblr or DeviantArt (let alone not guaranteeing I’ll even be seen by my customer base since they may not want to pay out their asses either). It doesn’t seem important to most, but I do 90% of my business online entirely.
Please sign up, fight for this and share it with your followers/friends/family and urge them to give them hell as well.
Not writing related, but this is incredibly important. While we pay for service via ISPs, the internet has been a relatively free space where everyone, no matter their income level, is able to connect, access a wealth of information, and express themselves. The Internet has become a major part of our culture as human beings and the notion that ISPs might be able to limit what sites I can access unless I pay them more is utterly sickening. A lot of us are cash strapped as is, and I’d rather not be limited even more by someone else’s greed. Net Neutrality is essential and I hope you guys will understand why it needs to remain.

P.S. Signal boost this if you’re able.
“ limit what sites I can access unless I pay them more”

DO YOU WANT THIS? NO?? CLICK THE LINK. REBLOG.
As I understand this ruling, it means that businesses now have to pay extra to ISPs to have access to their websites through that ISP provided at a reasonable speed. If you don’t pay, users’ access to your website will be slowed to a crawl - so independent people and small businesses can forget about getting onto that high speed access tier.
This means that the American internet is going to be firmly under the control of those who have the most money. You’ll only get to see the content of those who can pay the ISPs to provide access at a reasonable speed. This means that you can expect to see skewed representation of just about everything, with those bigger businesses who can afford to pay ISPs a premium for access deciding what you can and cannot read, view and consume on the internet.
This is not something that we have in the UK. Our ISPs compete with each other to provide higher speeds, better services and lower prices, but because there’s a monopoly in the US of a few ISPs who provide services, they can afford to do this to you. You can’t go anywhere else, after all.
Everyone in the US needs to sign that petition, call their representatives, write angry letters and do whatever you can to tell your government that this ruling is Not Okay.
