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

I'm looking for a literary agent for the US comic industry. I've been published in Italy and France during the last 10 years, I'm currently working as a co-creator for DC's Shazam and I'd love to make my own graphic novel next! I do fantasy, adventurous, wholesome queer comics for teens and adults.

Went as a short king leather daddy vampire for Halloween (bonus photobomb by @julesscheele.bsky.social as the Emcee from Cabaret! 😄💖💕)

I always think it's super important to point out to people at conventions that the vast, vast majority of artists selling there have other jobs or a safety net or something else going on. I'm able to do this because of my day job, I think I actually might be financially better off if I didn't.

📢 Folks attending @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social next month! 📢 We're doing two guided tours of our comics exhibition at the Mercer Gallery during the festival! No need to book - come to the gallery at either of the times shown here. The gallery is right by the convention centre. Hope to see u there!

That’s almost 300 pages of desire and autonomy

AI agents tried to do graphic design, video editing, game development, and administrative chores like scraping data. "Even the best could perform less than 3 percent of the work, earning $1,810 out of a possible $143,991," writes @willknight.bsky.social www.wired.com/story/ai-age...

Disney Adults were ready to burn the parks to the ground over ABC firing Jimmy Kimmel, so anybody who still supports JKR is on her side or history's biggest wimp.

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification. I glanced down at the message. “Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began. So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/anna...

the thing about being queer is i am queer everywhere i go, and everywhere i go i meet other queers. no entire people is my enemy and no state is my friend

Putting some background slides together for my talk on AI art and the Luddites @tagsfest.co.uk this Saturday. If you're in Edinburgh, come say hi/listen to me rant/buy my tech-related comics, zines and prints! More info: tagsfest.co.uk#talks

hello friends i'm hosting a Q&A w director james slater and animator matthew dolan after this documentary about the coral at @glasgowfilmtheatre.bsky.social this aft, pop along at 5:40pm if u fancy! www.glasgowfilm.org/movie/dreami...

I was curious about how long the UK mainstream press have not been reporting that the ADF (and other US groups) are active in UK human rights lawfare. It's at least since 2012, as this 2019 piece references.

I illustrated this excellent piece by Katie Goh for @natlibscot.bsky.social about libraries in pop culture. Was extremely fun to get to draw the Scooby Gang! Can someone hire me to draw a Willow comic please? You can read the article here: www.nls.uk/collections/...

So who else is receiving daily damage to their psyche from constant AI bots writing lengthy flowery emails about promoting their work at book clubs or other made-up places? Winner for me so far has been fake AI Miriam Toews (?) wanting to connect with me through our shared love of storytelling (?)

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

I'll make another post but reminder that I'm looking for work! I did pretty okay last year, but didn't really feel like it because a bunch of gigs paid late/barely on time which had a real knock-on effect, and this year's been very slow

Check out these uncoloured pages from @julesscheele.bsky.social of his adaptation of Virginia Woolf's Orlando!!! I had an idea in my head of what Jules could do with Orlando before I suggested it to him and it's even better than I imagined...

Yes, though also worth noting that there are a number of trans investigative journalists who have reported on this. It is widely known among experts and in community - not least because of how many of us have experienced it first-hand.

The Greens requested an interview on the Laura Kuenssberg Show with Zack Polanski when he was elected leader, but were denied, with a promise to interview him during Green conference instead. This was then scrapped citing the Manchester synagogue attack. Polanski is both Jewish and from Manchester

It was 20+ years when I registered for my first appointment and I didn’t realise I should have been grateful that it might still happen in my lifetime

It's been so exciting watching this come together - it's looking absolutely *amazing* and you're all in for a treat 💖💖💖

Announcement dropped! So excited about this ✨

Some MFers don't believe me when I talk about how deeply ingrained anti-Arab sentiment is in the comic book industry. Here's the guy who made HOLY TERROR & a public Islamophobic tirade, being celebrated w/ a guy who's inferring he ACTUALLY tortured Arabs, while a 3rd giggles like a buffoon about it

You'll get chinstrokers saying this type of campaigning is naïve and ineffective (let's see) but many people who vote for Reform don't know what they actually plan to do beyond the big headlines. It's not as if the BBC and the press tell them, so probably right that somebody does.

I literally cannot tell you how I (allegedly) feel about this because Labour made that illegal so I’ll let you reach your own conclusions Allegedly/theoretically/etc

I’ve been frustrated to see so much of the ongoing story about asylum seekers and the protests against them covered without hearing from those seeking asylum and now being met with hostility and hatred I set out to speak to those directly affected to find out about the impact this is having 👇

Landlords don't provide homes, they hoard them so others can't buy them. Rent costs are higher than mortgage costs, so it's essentially people with deposits buying up properties then getting other people to pay their mortgage for them whilst making profit. That is parasitic behavior.

This really does matter. Sign this not because you want to buy inappropriate smutty things from the internet, but because if you let people tell you what legally available things you can or cannot buy you are at the mercy of somebody else's definition of "inappropriate".

i know to many it's a job, but comics demand a nuclear amount of energy, usually provided by one person working alone, that is so misunderstood and unmatched lol

Labour's next biggest losses are to left-liberal parties (Liberal Democrats and Greens). Reform's growth in support has mostly come from the Conservatives and non-voting (much less from Labour). These reflect patterns of party-bloc voting that we saw in the 2024 UK GE: tinyurl.com/y5pv7thw

🎉BREAKING: Scotland has joined the global movement to boycott Israel! The proposal put forward by Green MSP @patrickharvie.bsky.social was supported by a majority of members in the Scottish Parliament.

Amazing how such small numbers have been identified as the voice of the nation when, for comparison, 100,000 turned out for trans pride last month in London.

this is tonight at 8:20pm!

So great to see this in a mainstream outlet, credit where it's due to Neil and of course Rebecca

You can tell which politics the papers support just by which marches and protests they cover. 100,000 people for trans rights? Zero coverage. Max 250 people for racism? Breathless daily coverage, multiple articles and thinkpieces, talking heads going on TV to discuss ‘legitimate concerns’.
