Good morning, Bluesky.
Let's talk about Mickey Mouse. And how much of the Mouse is now available for everyone's use.
tl:dr - In the real world, you can usee as much as either Disney lets you, or as much as you're willing to spend 6- to 7-figures fighting Disney over.

I’ve got a couple of dead hours ahead of me so let’s do my
first Bluesky AMA.
Hi! I’m Steve, and I’ve been making comics professionally for a bunch of publishers since 1991. Ask me anything!

Posted on the hellsite, but this is where the writers are now, right? We're in our last month of submissions and have received fewer subs than our two previous sub periods, despite now having a solid track record of quality award winning work. We'd love to see more subs from BIPOC writers. 1/5

When facing the "All we need is STEM!" approach to education, my usual response is: Developing the vaccine was the STEM problem; distribution & getting shots in arms was the Social Science problem; getting people to trust it & combatting misinformation was the Humanities problem-- which did we fail?

Hello fellow queer parents! I am here to recommend this lovely book — WHAT MAKES A BABY — by Cory Silverberg and Fiona Smyth. It is medically accurate on fertilization, gestation and birth without ever detouring into gender, intercourse, or family structures✨

Today is my 40th birthday (I warned you all that this would happen!!) and in keeping with my continued reign of terror, I would appreciate it if you would share an obscure fact that takes up the precious neurological space you would otherwise use for things like “how to CPR” or “where are keys”

TSA Pre-Check is such a perfect metaphor for American governance: Outsource and underfund basic services to the point where they’re useless, then charge people money to get the experience people in other developed countries get for free.
