Virginians: did you know there is a rapid response hotline for ICE emergencies run by a coalition of immigrant rights organizations in the state? If ICE is showing up at your door, you can call for assistance

Nobody does it the same way, so you have to build your own practice. Hardly anywhere pays you enough to take any lip from anybody, so do exactly what you want. If you’re an artist, start measuring projects in lengths of time out of your life to orient your priorities. Do your stretches.
What advice would you give an aspiring comic creator? - 🦝

Time to spend one zillion dollars at DreamHaven Books!!! I buy almost all my new giant art books and pulpy used books from them. Also I secretly sign books there whenever I stop in for a treat.
Comics retailing legend Greg Ketter standing up to ICE in Minneapolis. Yes, that's tear gas. He's 70 years old.

Fun fact, the IDF trains ICE! they say THE SAME THING ABOUT PALESTINIANS AFTER THEY MURDER THEM
Bovino framing performing basic acts of parenting like transporting your children as using them as human “shields” is a tell and red flag.
These people see themselves as engaged in war, not immigration enforcement.

NPR update: His name was Alex Pretti. He was 37, and a registered nurse.
Bystander video shows an ICE agent push a woman to the ground. Alex tries to shield her, & is pepper sprayed & tackled by five agents, one of whom opens fire & empties a clip into him while he’s lying on the ground.

Yall, ICE just murdered a peaceful protestor. A man in his 50s, MPR is reporting. The video shows at least five ICE agents on top of him, and while he’s on the ground, one of them empties their clip into him.

if you want to be brave, don't mouth off, think of how you can be a fortress for someone
We're at a point right now where discretion is EXTREMELY important. Moreso than virtue signalling, there might come a point where people need to hide, or might need sanctuary, and at that point discretion is what's needed, don't get a target put on your back.

I once wrote an explanation on how to hire a letterer. The post was too wordy and only a few people ever read it before reaching out to hire me (that's okay), but I still think it's worth skimming over if you want to make a comic but need reach out to a letterer.

Here are some ways you can support your unhoused neighbors during this winter storm!
Cash is incredibly helpful, it lets folks get inside as paying customers & can help folks get a hostel bed or hotel room to get through the night.
Give what you can to folks, we’ll only get through this together!

For anger, the autistic participants showed lower activation of the eyebrows, and more jerky mouth movements, suggesting they may rely less on the eyebrows and more on the mouth, than their non-autistic peers... 🧵10

Instead telling your friends, you should kll them when someone is mean to them.
Start telling them that you yourself will come over and bite them. It’s proactive. It shows you care. And it shows that you don’t hide behind long range weapons
