It was nice meeting the lil group that attended my workshop! Learned a lot myself in the questions that came up and what resonated with folks to enhance the presentation with more visual tools and vocabulary checks on the spot. and I managed to condense it to one hour (and not the full workshop).

this is today! Panels in the morning, and my workshop at 2:45pm EST. Tips for creating layered characters & playing nice in a team. Dramamine for wormhole travel not included. latinxarchive.com/latinx-visio... “Watch out for wormholes: ANCHORED PASTS AND DYNAMIC DUOS IN GRAPHIC STORYTELLING”

Finally, an election night of cheers, not mourning, heard in the NYC streets. The old fashioned way to learn the news. Been awhile.

Tuesday marks the nation’s first major Election Day since President Donald Trump returned to the White House. The biggest contests are in Virginia and New Jersey, the only states electing governors this year. And New York City voters are choosing their next mayor.

thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting. now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

That Teen Vogue would nuke the team that has brought us uniquely clear eyed and incisive political journalism over the last decade aka THE PUBLICATION'S PRIMARY DIFFERENTIATOR in an oversaturated Bootlicking Slop Landscape is......................stomach turning, honestly.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day. certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

If you're fans of the movie, you understand the sequence. Face when I'm editing a novel of mine again after letting it sit for a for years, opening it up again for copy edits:

Comic creators, what is success for you? For me, it's having built an audience that empowers me to tell a long-form story. By January we'll have completed the equivalent of 35 DM issues of the White Ash Saga. Not many indie series reach those #'s. And we're just getting started. We're not alone...

Karlo’s writing is fire as hell and everyone should be copping this! 🔥

Free, and dense with intelligence and flexibility online conference, great for writers, artists and curious readers of the speculative, the sci-fi, the what ifs?... plus I'm teaching a graphic storytelling workshop. Watch out for wormholes. Learn more. Hosted by U of NM. youtu.be/jDoAIh8emt4

The president doesn’t have a constitutional right to impose a tariff because he doesn’t like a foreign country’s TV ad. I know this doesn’t matter to the dictator in the White House, but I thought I’d point it out in case we ever start following the Constitution again.

Patrick's comic on Kickstarter is layered with culture and folklore. campaign ends in a few days. Horror scares me but that doesnt prevent me from backing a creator making meaningful art. Our commerce can also not be product end point but creating ecosystems. Hopping kungfu vampires is pretty cool

Vote. Or as I told my girls, it might be the last time we can given where the country is going. Sadly their response was: Good point, mom. You are right. Mom doesn't want to be right on this one. Not accepting that fascism is inevitable. It's here. How do we not let it root? Starts in our hearts

Look around you for artists making things with meaning. Here's what I make under my author hat and an imprint. Just like you likely don't go designer only (or ever) when you shop, look outside of bookstores and traditional publishing and find literature that's not part of the conveyor belt.

That brings the running tally up to: - 2nd CS gas / chemical weapons attack *this morning* - 4th consecutive day of ICE / CBP tear gassing a Chicago neighborhood - 7th neighborhood attack since a federal judge issued a ban on them doing so - 9th neighborhood attack since the start of October

Everyday we must remind people that fascist gestapo agents and their enablers are committing atrocities. This is an ethnic cleansing. These are crimes against humanity. And they will be held accountable.

A lovely event

I’m going to say it again: members of Congress need to draft articles & talk publicly & loudly about the case for treason. Trump told generals on camera in person: the campaign in U.S. cities is a WAR. The military needs to hear it laid out for them, how serious this is. Write for them, not the GOP.

So many youtube podcasts I enjoy opting for AI slop in attempt to help carry the narrative but instead it halts it. more and more I miss out on them and they miss out on me.

“AI continues to be the aesthetic of fascism: fast, easy, ugly. When we lose the ability to say what it is, we’re losing a lot more than the chance to pun on poop.”

Making my own Kickstarter confetti to celebrate the To Love Like Venus @kickstarter.com campaign ending successfully today and to thank my backers. Thank you. I chose couch karaoke over making dinner. Late pledges on. www.kickstarter.com/projects/the...

“What we’re seeing today in the U.S. is increasingly fascist. MAGA, I believe — and I study fascism, I don’t say this lightly — is a fascist movement.”

well I missed the little confetti drop when my Kickstarted ended because I was writing a letter to the CEO of Kickstarter in support of @kickstarterunited.org . Ah well, worth it! Here's how you can get involved, some are really quick steps! Don't miss your confetti drop, tho. kickstarterunited.org
