I actually think most mainstream journalists would benefit from spending a good amount of time on everything from Truth Social to Gab and Stormfront to recalibrate their understanding of who poses the real threat in modern American society
I just wish open Nazis were treated with the same level of contempt by the news media as annoying 19 year old college kids

So I can’t sue if my personal voting rights were violated but I can sue a woman I suspect of getting an abortion?

US court rolls back key voting rights protection
Only the US attorney general, not individuals, can appeal racist voting practices, a federal court finds.

I must not discourse. Discourse is the mind-killer. Discourse is the little-death that brings total obliteration.

One last boost on this. I know we’re only halfway through the week but visibility is tiring and we have deadlines
Hey, it’s Ace Week? Hello fellow asexuals! We’re Ted & Ro, we’re an ace couple who make comics.
We don’t deal with it a lot in comics, but we did get to work with @whattheshea.bsky.social and @gofrankgo.bsky.social to bring DC’s Connor Hawke out as ace, and it remains a Very Proud moment for us.

You are welcome. Soon that panel will probably need an annotation explaining AIDS and the 1980s and '90s.

So I’m waiting for my head/neck CT scan. Feeling nervous. My doctors think I might’ve had a TIA when I lost sight in my left eye for 6 hours and have had trouble seeing out of it ever since. They think it’s due to #LongCovid. This is why Covid is dangerous.

A #protip thread for artists about working with commercial clients:
When you do client work for ad agencies, design studios, etc it is important to establish PRECISELY what you're providing for the rate. It helps to proceed as if your commercial art clients understand NOTHING about what you do.

Today is my first day back to work & already I’m exhausted. My voice is flickering in & out. My AuDHD is extremely present & I can tell my masking isn’t as efficient as normal. Did I mention I’m exhausted? Oh, because I was out, with no PTO, I may get an occurrence for the days I was out. 🤬

One million times this needs to be said. When authors lift each other up, they are able to do better for each other. Regardless of genre, publishers- we encourage, support, and help. We rebuild when publishers collapse publishing because we work together. We are the creators of stories & more.

Apparently elsewhere on social media, writers are supposed to consider other authors are their competition. No, that's really not the way things work. We encourage and support each other in this challenging business and recommend each others' books because a rising tide lifts all the boats.
