Set up for the Cap City Comic Swap in Salem OR.

Once again: being and working in the US without the “proper” paperwork is a misdemeanor. Under no circumstances is this reasonable or acceptable. We must abolish ICE.

If you don't know, TCGplayer is a huge online marketplace for buying Magic: the Gathering cards (and other card games). The company is based in my hometown. Ebay bought the company a few years ago and they're now blatantly union busting.

It’s Friday, once again! And we’re 2 hours away from the Comic Book Cool Down art live stream (Fridays 7pm PT)! www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUHY...

Hello, all. In a time where everything is so much for so many people, I feel guilty asking but my family and I are in need of help. Even if it is a signal boost, any help is appreciated. I love you all, and I hope you are all safe. gofund.me/980022e5

hey happy friday it's my periodic reminder that if you are a comic artist who wants comic book publishers to contact them and hire them ✨ PLEASE HAVE AN ORGANIZED AND EASILY ACCESSED PORTFOLIO WEBSITE WITH EMAIL OH MY GOD ✨

Black Lips did a song about the Spider-Man childhood sexual abuse PSA comic.

Hey remember when the President of Harvard had to step down because Christopher Rufo found a citation error in her thesis?

haha. There's no fuckin' way I'll ever switch paper LOL.

Portlanders: the Police Bureau is trying to amend the rules so they don't have to report information on officers who have been disciplined for excessive force / other violations during investigations those officers are involved in. You can submit comment here. www.surveymonkey.com/r/3WPQRK3

Closing out my birthday month with another page of my webcomic! www.maatcrook.com/demonstrativ... Demonstrative uploads every Wednesday at 10am (PT)!

It should not be legal for public officials to have side hustles.

Get! Off! Substack! I won't read your links! If they're on substack!

People have focused on the kook aspects of RFK Jr in a way that obscured his authoritarianism and cruelty. But he’s genuinely an enemy of freedom and basic decency. He’s a narcissist, a eugenicist, and a predator.

Folks, Please don’t lose sight of the fact that the President is supposed to serve the American people. Not his pockets and his ego. We’re so deep in the mire that we’re losing even the memory of normal. Peanut farm, people. Peanut farm.

Setting up folders for a new project. Occasionally, it'll change but this has been my folder template for a couple years now. I number the folders because it roughly follows the order that I will be working in.

Some editorial work from recent years. Hoping to do more editorial in the upcoming months

Open AI’s valuation is at $400 billion. They used about 190,000 books to train their plagiarism bot. Randomly saying 25% of their value comes from that stolen dataset, I think they owe the authors about $526,000 per stolen book.

Happy Birthday Christopher Lee and Vincent Price. Peter Cushing was yesterday.

Don't talk to Adonai or his Asherah ever again!

I'm considering doing my next book on Arches watercolor paper. It would be rad as hell to work on that paper but dang it's spendy. 🤑

Every time you see an article like this it is important to recognize it for what it is: propaganda. These so-called a.i. models are not sentient. a.i. con-men are lying and exaggerating to trick people into believing that their dumb statistical language model can do things that it can't.

Nostalgia in politics can work for more than one thing, it doesn't only have to be a guy saying "Don't you miss being racist" it could be a different guy saying "Remember when people had pensions"

We finished Severance last night and now I'm super worried about them making a 3rd season. That season 2 finale was so good, they could have ended it there and I would be satisfied.

there's a lot of value in making it so that using AI is the least cool thing you can do at all

This week's comic shop(s) roundup! A good variety, and some things I've been influenced to read thru the #comicsky timeline. Giving Alcatraz and Capt Planet a try! @peposed.bsky.social @ifyoucantwell.bsky.social @mrtylercrook.bsky.social

Out of Alcatraz #2 from @ifyoucantwell.bsky.social and @mrtylercrook.bsky.social is getting a second printing. (I hope you're reading this series, because it's fantastic.) gocollect.com/blog/out-of-... @besspallares.bsky.social @oni-press.bsky.social #comics

Out of Alcatraz keeps delivering with issue 3. I loved that view in the fields of Tehama County by @mrtylercrook.bsky.social. The theme of needing to escape from your circumstance runs through most everyone's story here by @ifyoucantwell.bsky.social. #OutOfAlcatraz #OniPress #Comics #Comicsky

Property rights would kill the industry. Does that tell you what the industry is, finally??

AI ads know their target demo, lonely losers.

A bill that would prohibit removing or declining to carry books from school libraries solely because they are written by diverse authors or contain themes about race, gender, LGBTQ+ issues is headed for a vote on the House floor.
