UESF, the teacher union in San Francisco that I'm a part of, is going on strike this Monday.
Based on how district leadership has treated us so far, it feels like this is going to be either a very short or very long strike.

Here is a thing:
There were several years when I was one of VERY few journalists seriously covering harassment and abuse issues in comics (and by extension sometimes video games). During that time, I became the Person People Told Things To.

Why do comic creators self-promote all the time?
Because we have to.
Even working with a publisher that's supportive, press only goes so far. The rest of the success falls on the shoulder of the creator rallying their fanbase.
So here's mine. I'll RP yours.
