Happy Monday, let's celebrate with a new issue of #Fodongo!
This time around with comics by @BootlegPotato, @piper and María Izquierdo Barri. You can get it here:

geesegoose.ca/product/fodongo-

(Or at @itchio jectoons.itch.io/fodongo-issue).

Really excited to share these comics with you! Thanks for reading and supporting independent artists and Free-Culture.

The first half of @piper 's "Thirteen at Table" is now available to read on the site!

Check out her amazing work, and her other stuff at piperbly.com.

And of course you can directly support #Fodongo and the artists in this issue by buying the zine!

I am not that active these days, but when I saw it I was really excited: #Fodongo zine has gone to "annual subscription" plan, apart from the donations and per issue support!! And not just digital, but physical and the paper smell and feeling is so good :3

Best part is that it's a #comic zine for #openculture #freeculture and in general #freedom in #art with one HECK of a good editor (who treats the artists in the most human way possible @jectoons) I'd be really really happy if you could support it, to help comic artist and art and free culture! Thanks for reading! <3

“On the meta-level, having that as a positively asserted community value would have made it far more difficult for the Marxists/wokies to do their entryism thing. They would have been recognized as a fundamentally toxic phenomenon sooner. Failure of leadership on my part. …on this I screwed up, and I feel bad about it.” — @esrtweet ( x.com/esrtweet/status/18868943 )

“One of my regrets about my years of being Mr. Famous Guy, when I had maximum leadership leverage, is that I didn't foresee the political threat to open source.
I thought it was enough to be apolitical, invite everybody to be part of our development community, and that everybody would continue to keep politics out of the coding. Including even my own libertarian politics.
If I had known what was coming, I would have made a big deal about insisting that the open source community had to have one positive political value: free speech and opposition to censorship. That would have been justified on the object level, because we can't function when those political conditions are violated.” — @esrtweet (x.com) @esrtweet
