I’m no MI6 but maybe - MAYBE - embedding big US tech giants at the heart of our government, while the heads of those same companies cosy up to a despotic leadership hell-bent on developing a fascist protectionist state…MAYBE that's not such a good idea now, is it.

Emma is a *counts on fingers* septuple-threat genius, and I don’t think I’ve ever thrown my money at anything so quickly. This is the show we all deserve to see, and now you can help make it happen!

Feel free to DM me! And also forward on to anyone you think might be in this particular boat. (I should add that this is for UK-based creators due to, you know, jurisdiction issues)

Brave New World: Justice for creators in the age of GenAI In our ongoing commitment to campaign for author rights and interests, we have joined forces with other creator-led organisations to co-launch a ground-breaking report showing the onset of a creative jobs crisis in the UK. buff.ly/wThFNtu

Anybody here having trouble getting sales figures and/or royalties for their comics on ComiXology/Kindle?

Just deleted an angry quote-post suggesting an MP’s policy (using AI to tutor poor kids) was making me reach for my pitchfork. Elected officials should not be subject to violence or threats or threats of violence! But I am actually extremely ready to join an angry mob, so.

This government is dangerously incoherent on this. SEND provision is under threat, they're age-gating the internet, but want to push the confidently wrong psychosis machine onto children (while rich kids will still get human tutors, obviously). JUST INVEST IN ACTUAL TEACHERS.

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

Go into 2026 with the attitude of a paranoid narcissist: maybe someone IS always watching you, but maybe they think you’re neat?

Have you voted?? Or did you forget like I did and are about to do it right now like I am??

This comic by @streakofpith.bsky.social is small but deep with meaning, like a short, dense poem. For any patent it will touch you deep down to your core. I've read and reread this numerous times now and cannot get it out of my head. Wonderful stuff.

What an incredible line-up?! So honoured that 5 More Minutes is amongst these! If you agree with Andy that you need to own it, you can scoop one up here: hannahberry.bigcartel.com/product/5-mo... Also at Gosh/Page 45/Dave’s/Cartoon Museum/Travelling Man/Kraken Comics if you’re in their vicinities

This is open until the end of Dec if you wanted to fill this in and have a chance at a £50 stash of comics! …If you DID fill in the survey in the autumn, but DIDN’T get this email, but DO want to help the research and maybe win comics, DM me and I’ll send you the link so you can joint the party 🥳

Soooo…who received an email yesterday from The Audience Agency/UK Comics Creator Survey?? 👀

One of these days we’re gonna have to have a long discussion about the need to survive as a creator under capitalism vs the commodification of art, aren’t we.

IP being left with creators is positioned here AS A BAD THING because the PUBLISHERS might lose out on making money off them. They are clutching their pearls at the idea that creators might be empowered to leave them for a better offer!!!

I've had a good read of this now, and although it’s clearly not aimed at us I do have some thoughts on it. Buckle up, lads!

I am SEETHING with rage at the suggestion that Muppets do not have souls and I - as a often cited expert on ghosts - have set the record straight. I will fight people on this. www.theghostgeek.com/p/in-defence...

And while I’m on the subject, it’d be silly of me not to mention that I’ve just received a reprint of 5 MORE MINUTES. Ideal Christmas reading!* hannahberry.bigcartel.com/product/5-mo... *Christmas being the best time to be absolutely fucking devastated

Realistically, if you wanted to get these in time to send out to your weirdo cousin, you might want to get your order in by the end of the week?

Well. I wasn’t expecting to feel this level of horror before 10am today but there we go.

It’s almost December. Some of your relatives will be expecting greetings cards. Why not send them something fun, that shows you care but also acknowledges this season is a bit ridiculous? I GOT YOU. hannahberry.bigcartel.com/category/cards

It happened again! This time the guy tried to tell me I could only get a proof of postage if I upgraded to a more expensive service. OH REALLY, SIR.

@leahmoore.bsky.social Timing the drugs with tackling emails!! YES.

Right, proof of postage, IS a thing still…right?? Because the lady at the post office just looked me in the eye and told me it wasn’t a thing when you use stamps. And then I asked what do I do if something goes missing, and she smiled and told me “nothing goes missing”.
