Repeating something many Black journos have said already, but never underestimate how much white journos+editors willingness to play nice w/ varied iterations of “anti-wokeism” was b/c they got really uncomfortable from 2012 to 2020 when called to account for racism w/in their outlets/profession.

This Friday! Come hang with @arythusa.bsky.social and I as we chat about comics and why we make them- 7:00 pm at Skylight books in LA www.skylightbooks.com/event/skylig...

This is an excellent take. I think there's more to it, but no notes.

If you are going to the stonewall protests tomorrow, please stay in touch with me, drop pictures, and help me report what's going on on the ground. I'd love to write a good story about what happens tomorrow if it turns out to be a big one.

COME HANG!

In more news- #HalfwayToSomewhere (which comes out on Feb 18th- got listed here- Amongst other awesome books. (one of my favorites, not just this year, but like... ever.) Anyways- Thanks to the whole RHGraphic team and #ChildrensBookCouncil www.cbcbooks.org/cbc-book-lis...

I'm just gonna say that I and a lot of my Black artist friends feel an understanding/kinship to this mindset, which other people seem to be disregarding because it's too "defeatist" or whatever and I find that...very unhelpful.

It's nice to be amongst awesome company. Check out these books! (yes, #HalfwayToSomewhere is in there-) Thanks, #LitHub. lithub.com/small-joys-f...

I've said this before in other platforms, so I'll say it here as well- Dream project? The last season of GLOW that wasn't able together filmed- I wanna do that as a comic. Same script, same vibe- just... in comic form.

Cis people, here’s what you do: Find your reps on house.gov & senate.gov. Write up a message. “I’m asking you to speak out against the EO cutting federal funds for gender-affirming medical care for transgender folks under 19.” Call or email each office & read/send your message. Now keep doing that.

we cracked $2K (40% of our funding goal) in our first week, now we're just a few backers from [bon jovi voice] halfway there 🤘🏻 horror #comics fam: who can help us get there? you could win a guitar in the process! cc: @odysseycomics.bsky.social www.kickstarter.com/projects/ody...

When you read "anti-immigrant" I want you to hear "Going after anyone who isn't white" because THAT is what they mean, and that is who they are after.
