TIL: A fellow Flasher (maybe we need a better name? 🤔) pointed out that pre-launch download registrations are crucial for me. Once the app goes live, all those pre-orders will count as downloads on launch day, potentially giving the app a boost in the charts. So... apps.apple.com/de/app/flash...

Lots of conversations today with upset illustrators who are paying their agents 30% for brokering low-pay children's book contracts with no royalty. A 15% agent commission is standard. A royalty with a guaranteed advance is standard. Think about moving to a literary agent. #kidlit #kidlitart

Most people probably aren’t tracking this but Senate Republicans just started an all-night voting marathon that will allow them to gut Medicaid and increase child hunger while giving handouts to billionaires like Elon Musk.

He's gonna fuck up every single independent creator who depends on the mail for their business. Call your reps and tell them you didn't vote for Trump to destroy your business. reps.fyi

This came across my FYP recently and I wanna talk about it because... well, it ain't wrong. As someone who does a lot of working with folks who struggle with dating, I see this come up a LOT. www.tiktok.com/@jaso... I think there're two distinct reasons why this is and has been a thing.

I really want to see comics twitter rebuild itself here. If you think of yourself as part of that world- whether that means creative, editorial, marketing, retail, library, academia, journalism, criticism, active fan- reply with a "yo" so the funnybook people can find you. RTs help, too!
