Trans girls banned from joining Girlguiding
Girlguiding says the move is in response to the Supreme Court ruling that said sex meant biological sex in equality law.

Putting money in Rowling's pocket is also why we ignore press releases from comics events that include Potter programming. It's funding her hate. I'd implore every creator/publisher/potential guest to consider this when approached by those cons. - Andy

Just floating the idea here that leading with pull quotes from Graham Linehan supporters in the titles of your press releases is maybe not the way to go right now.

Definitely going to get a resource list about the existential threat of AI "art"/theft-tech up here if we can find enough material. So let us know about your comics if you've done anything in that area.

So, politics isn’t for you? Maybe it should be.
Fascism doesn’t arrive overnight. It creeps in through apathy, silence, and the idea that “this stuff doesn’t affect me.” Graphic novels have always been a frontline medium; cheap, urgent, emotional, and impossible to ignore.

Engaging with theft-tech and all the ramifications thereof is unconscionable. It’s an existential threat to the arts and human creativity.
I don't see how self-publishing world survives GenAI. It's going to be an absurd increase in slop books with no reason to expect any increase in paying readers.
