One of my favorite Tumblr discoveries is the JAPANoFILES series by @easternmind. Each article highlights a video game developed in Japan which is more obscure or unknown to players outside of the region. It’s especially cool to see how some works are adapted to the video game medium when it doesn’t seem like they would fit at all.
And really, the whole blog is intriguing. A great addition to your dashboard.
I’ve been wanting to do some experimental comics for awhile, and I figure as long as I’m having nightmares I might as well use them as fuel. This one in particular inspired me to open up my Sandman graphic novels again, and I used those as a jumping off point for the style.
I still haven’t found a way of drawing people that I really like, but I’m content with how this came out.

Leading barristers have defied bar rules by signing a declaration saying they will not prosecute peaceful climate protesters or act for companies pursuing fossil fuel projects.
They are among more than 120 mostly English lawyers who have signed a declaration vowing to “withhold [their] services in respect of supporting new fossil fuel projects and action against climate protesters exercising their right of peaceful protest”.
Noting that climate breakdown represents “a serious risk to the rule of law”, the so-called “declaration of conscience” calls on legal professionals “to act urgently to do whatever they can to address the causes and consequences of the climate and ecological crises and to advance a just transition”.

One junior lawyer, who wished to remain anonymous, said: “Young lawyers are being placed in an impossible position. We’re being told by our firms and regulators it’s a professional obligation to act for fossil fuel projects, knowing that doing so will poison our own future and all of life on Earth. That’s wrong on every level. It’s indefensible. If the profession doesn’t look out for my generation, how does it expect to survive?”
