Most "professional writers" these days don't make their entire living off their writing, so if making a living off your writing is one of the goals, prepare to do a LOT of legwork yourself, because just writing isn't going to be enough. Promoting yourself & getting paid is a whole 2nd job at first.

I walked into a casino with $20 and a dream. 5 minutes later I have $0 and a cup of gelato. How inept do you have to be to bankrupt one of these things?

Not a bailout situation. Big tech has run out of growth markets, which is why they desperately attached to AI. When that fails, Mag7 makes up 30%~ of the stock market's value. What happens when the market doesn't believe tech can grow forever? Bad stuff. www.wheresyoured.at/rotcombubble/

I am sorry to hear this, but also wish we could get back to the days of something like Comixology that had all the comics instead of needing to buy from a bunch of individually owned digital platforms. Nothing had me reading and buying more comics than Comixology Unlimited in its prime.

I will say to the people who are excited about the AI bubble popping: if i am correct (nothing I say is financial advice) it will ravage the markets in a way that will hurt just about everybody. It won't just hit tech. Satya Nadella, Sundar Pichai and Mark Zuckerberg must be held responsible.

Networking in comics is vital. I would have no career without my connections. But what many misunderstand is that it is not about finding someone higher up on the ladder and trying to use them to move up. It is about finding pals on the same rung, and form a little squad that lifts each other up.

Why does 25% AfD among young men spark a thousand "what is going on with young men?" posts yet Die Linke 34% among young women generates...nothing at all? Yes, young men voting for the radical right is an important phenomenon. But so is young women going rad left at even higher rates.

Read something other than comics before you try to make comics. Don’t get me wrong, read a SHITLOAD of comics. But also read prose fiction, non-fiction, biographies, textbooks, encyclopedias, and other kinds of books. Comics inspired only by other comics are not good comics.

companies listening to what people say they want instead of making art and just giving them something has been ruinous for games, movies and more for the last 10-15 years

if you can: write the thing that sounds SUPER FUN in your head. because it will sound SUPER FUN on the paper. readers can tell if the writer had fun writing something, for the most part, cause the love of the craft and characters and everything shows through. no idea is too silly. write it anyway.

Still hunting for a mature female australian-chinese/australian voice for a 3k word story. Also looking for a male arabic-speaking voice, ideally Egyptian but can be flexible.

This fantastic piece by Stewart Patrick is an excellent summary of the wrecking ball that Trump is taking to the entire international order crafted by Dem & Repub presidents over 80 yrs. Who does this benefit? The Kremlin, for certain. No one else. carnegieendowment.org/emissary/202...

Driving an EV is almost 4x cheaper per mile than a gasoline engine vehicle. It costs around $1 in electricity to go 24 miles in an EV It costs about $3.65 to go the same 24 miles using a gasoline engine. electrek.co/2025/02/21/t...

I always learn something new from Colleen, at whose fingertips lie grand vistas of comics history unknown to me - and this one stands out for drawing a picture of a dominant talent in Japan (almost) completely unknown to the American market.

What percentage of samurai were women? I'd say about 50%, give or take. Samurai was a nobility class. You had to be born into it. And it no more made you a warrior than Prince William. Do you think you could take Prince William in a fight? Then you could probably take out a samurai too.

I'm not on an anything anymore, but I do know some very good folks, the actual polar-opposite of Nazis, on Substack. I'd be grateful if folks with actionable ideas about how to migrate off Substack would reply to this to help give good people ideas & resources for how best to leave the Nazi bar.

Here’s the storage solution I was thinking of. Standard US Legal size filing cabinets. They can fit two rows of comics, they’re discreet, you can buy them anywhere in various looks. But I also like this solution using IKEA stuff: bsky.app/profile/djte...

Fun fact: Everything cool becomes cringe in time. It is the natural order of things. Don't let it stop you from doing and sharing with the world the art that only you can do.

I feel like I'm going insane every time I see a media story about DOGE that doesn't also mention the fact that the Government Accountability Office exists and performs the exact function that DOGE pretends to, only in a credibly constitutional, non-partisan, and conflict-of-interest-free manner

Four main types of canon: Authorial intent canon: What the creators intended. Corporate canon: What the people paying the bills want to be canon (reflected in new projects). Interpreted canon: Individual interpretations based on the first two without leaps in logic. Speculative Headcanon: LEAPS.

Months ago I saw a photo of someone's really clever comics storage solution. It was very simple and clean, I want to say it was a certain brand of file cabinet or some other off-the-shelf storage thing. But for the life of me I can't remember whose it was or the exact details. Anyone?
