I know it’s not everything, but it’s something: how each of us, in our little spheres of work & community, can help foster & sustain places of care, decency, & intelligence even when powerful people celebrate venal, coarse, mendacious practices. What a gift, to be able to do something so worthwhile

Silver Sprocket, under owner Avi Ehrlich, made a name for itself as an artist-friendly comics publisher. Now it finds itself $300,000 in debt, embroiled in disputes, and teetering toward an uncertain future. What went wrong?

i'm not a "silly little artist/writer" "just trying to make my silly little art" and i don't think you are either. my art isn't frivolous bullshit. it has a place in the world and the world affects it. i'm not just glancing sheepishly at a distant burning house— i live inside it. don't you?

it rubs me the wrong way when i see some artists repackaging historically free/low cost art events as thousand dollar experiences. community building shouldn't come with a prohibitively expensive price tag!

If you have a voice, use it. especially those with 5k+ followers. Tumblr, twitter, instagram. this is about more than keeping families connected, people need to be aware of what's happening.

if you are in the arts industry in the capacity of a public figure, it's time to speak up.
Help the urgent need for families to reconnect by purchasing e-sims using this guide and receive thank you art from a co-op member.
