Monday is a great day to celebrate the beautiful work of @nicolegoux.bsky.social!

If your friends or family get detained this is super helpful information.

Reminder that, unless a creative freelancer has a spouse with a day job that offers health insurance, they likely have an ACA plan. And with the hits to creative industries the past few years, I'm guessing many qualify for subsidies. Related reminder that comic creators are freelancers.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

The world’s first trillionaire initiated a move that has left more than half a million people dead, most of whom are children.

Looking for small gigs starting next month; commissions, covers, sketches, character designs...things of that nature. You can email me, or message me here if you want to discuss.

Why doesn’t @bsky.app thread new notifications to the top? I keep getting notified and have no idea what happened

Your ability to eat should not depend on your productivity Your ability to get healthcare should not depend on your productivity Your ability to get housing should not depend on your productivity Saying “be more productive!” To those who are struggling devalues human life. It aids fascism.

@marikotamaki and I are in very good company with @trungles as PWs best YA books of the season!

Not only is it going to be a hunger crisis, it's going to be a farm crisis. All those gallons of milk bought from dairy farmers, all the produce, all the on sale ground beef and packs of chicken that are paid for by SNAP are subsidies to farmers who don't qualify for commodities subsidies.

You know who the real freeloaders in this country are? Not people who rely on SNAP, but corporations whose business model depends on wages so low that taxpayers have to feed their workers.

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live. Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps: * Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled * Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages

If you're dealing with food insecurity with food stamps being cut off in November, you can find local food pantries at foodfinder.us FindHelp also has food bank and pantry listings, as well as other mutual aid orgs and resources findhelp.org

It is spooky season for the Power Rangers! @nicolegoux.bsky.social original variant cover art available now!

I don't want this thread to be languishing at the old place, so: 11 IDEAS FOR ENLIVENING A COMICS PAGE. Some pages will just lay there, not engaging you. And if you're not engaged, the reader won't be either. Let’s talk about ways to solve that problem as artists. 🧵

Signing on the 22nd!

NYCC 2025 pickups. It's a pretty solid haul if I do say so myself! @abramscomicarts.bsky.social, stumbled upon @patrickhorvath.bsky.social, @tomking.bsky.social for Helen of Windhorn, This Place Kills Me by @nicolegoux.bsky.social and Mariko Tamaki, @thekylestarks.bsky.social for hobos, and 🏴‍☠️

I'm hoping to avoid bots. I think I have a good starting point to talk to some people.

i believe i said "fuck" on a comic con stage for the first time today. the full quote: "Fuck 'A.i.'"

Change of plans! We’ll be at the Abrams booth!

Gentle reminder that in the late '50s, the U.S. government did not censor comics. Comics companies censored themselves. Not sure why that crossed my mind today but there it is...

BREAKING: Governor Pritzker calls for the removal of Donald Trump as President by invoking the 25th amendment. EVERY governor should stand behind the Illinois governor. Governor Pritzker also cited health concerns for the president. He is clearly not well. youtu.be/Dt4mrxNWQWs?...

As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read. They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.

Last 2 interviews at #SPX with @jdebbiel.bsky.social & @nicolegoux.bsky.social Great show overall and did 10 interviews total for my podcast #ComicNewsInsider
