Took me a bit longer than I thought to get this one up, but here's my thoughts on Cartoon Saloon's Kindred Spirits. redpopnews.com/cartoon-salo... #indigisky #redpopnews #animation #cartoonsaloon #kindredspirits

So cool that people are still discovering this #Sinners syllabus, published by the African American Intellectual History Society, and composed by Jemar Tisby & Keisha N. Blain. Enjoy!

Happy International Womens Day everyone! If you want to support women artists , I got the Women Artists On Bluesky Starter Pack filled with tons of amazing women artists to support! 💖 (+ Any women / femme-identifying artists can be added to this Pack, just comment /w an introduction & your art! 👍)

THIIIIIIIIIIS.

Authors: I've talked around them before, but it you ever get a message to be interviewed by Author Essence, Reader's House, Novelist Post, or Mosaic Digest... mark as spam and ignore. It's a Ponzi scheme vanity publishing scam, and even if you never give them a cent they'll be annoying forever.

Gentle reminder that sometimes I don't comment on The Hot Topics Of The Day because I'm not equipped to do so in a nuanced or thoughtful way. Knowing your limitations doesn't mean not caring or not paying attention. It means not taking up space that needs to be occupied by more informed voices.

Goodnight.

A huge problem is that this is the first skeet I've seen on my timeline this morning to reference HR7661 as something other than "this bill". People cannot contact their reps about "this bill" - they need the number. Anyway here's a handy script if you don't know what to say when you call.

Happy 3rd anniversary to us! With a new year, we have a BIG announcement 📢: we are now incorporated as a nonprofit organization and are changing our name to CARTOONISTS UNITED! Full changes will be rolled out by late summer. Read here for the full statement: cartoonist.coop/journal/cart...

Really exciting news! So much stuff is always cooking over there and though I’ll miss the Co-op name, United implies we could be a Voltron or blob-like, hive-minded creature like The Thing. I can use this in a more threatening tone, which I like.

I did this. You can too! Clicking the Patreon link leads to this very helpful guide with the links to the actual submission forms for both shitty, stupid rules at the bottom. #SupportTransKids

Happy #BlackHistoryMonth ! In the spirit of the month and all months, you should support the indie publisher I created to uplift marginalized creatives. Word of mouth is our biggest advertiser so sharing with others including comic shops/libraries helps a lot!

I am inclined to believe that the entire tech industry is just three scam artists in a trench coat.

Because people asked, I want to point folks to some archiving resources that were circulated at the start of the admin's takedown of federal data at CDC, AskJAN, NIH, and discuss why keeping our data is so important. A thread 🧵

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
