I've always disliked the creep of American culture over Australia, but I think this is the worst thing yet.

Retailers have started running Black Friday sales. This is very wrong because:

We don't celebrate Thanksgiving

Black Friday is January 13 1939, when bushfires wiped out 2 million hectares and killed 71 people

It's really upsetting that the first page of Google results for "Black Friday Australia" are all sales. Please. That is not our country.

Black Friday is the second largest (by area) bushfire in recorded Australian history. It lead to a Royal Commission on forestry management to mitigate future fires.

The fires currently burning in NSW and Queensland have destroyed 1.6 million hectares so far, which has been exacerbated by inaction on climate change and cutting of funding to fire services by Gladys "koala killer" Berejiklian.

Just...no. I can't deal with this. Please don't encourage retailers by spending money on their "black Friday" sales. Consider donating to the RFS instead.

Bringing this back because I just got my first Black Friday sale ad on fb from an Australian company and I want to start throwing hands.

It's frightening that only 1.6 million ha were destroyed at the time of my post, because by the end of Black Summer it was 18.6 million ha.

And to my fellow Aussies: ad standards won't do anything about advertisers running Black Friday sales, but you can directly message companies and tell them you think it's in very poor taste.

Bringing this back.

18.6 million hectares is three quarters the size of the United Kingdom. It is slightly larger than the US state of Washington. But hey, consumerism.

The only thing I need tumblr to do is to get like... cool with the idea you can hire people here to do commissions for you and to like.. consider monetary support for artists cuz one of the reasons and the biggest reason I moved to twitter in the first place is because people there buy my art. I make a living there doing art. And the vibe here is **we don't do that here** If you want artists to be here and do art you gotta be okay with the concept of artists trying to make money. I hate capitalism as much as the next person but I'm also 30 years old living with my fucking parents because I can't pay for a 1 bedroom apartment. Artists are not 'big business'. We're not Disney. We're just people trying to make a living or some money for groceries and shit.

Went for a walk today. Got a hair up my nose. Made a joke about myself.

Taking a break from some heavier comics work to share a tiny moment about dancing my new spicy shirt🌶️

I am a freezer. And I’m grateful.

i absolutely love it when artists and creators reach that threshold where they're financially/mentally/emotionally secure enough to basically just rub their hands together and be like "it's time to get fucking weird"
