I get off work in 2 and a half hours, and then I'm planning on losing my evening to the links in this thread. These studies sound like a great time.

Hey zine makers and zine librarians: Tranzmission Prison Project, an LGBTQ+-centered prison advocacy and abolition group, is looking for digital files of zines on specific topics. They will print paper copies to share. If you can help them out, please consider it! 📚

There’s an active fascist takeover going on. Let’s check in with the Democrats on the Senate Judiciary committee to see how they’re resisting it. Oh… oh I see. They’re trying to blow up Section 230 and open the floodgates for Trump to censor the Internet. Inspiring!

My novel Woodworking is out in 15 DAYS!! Do you have questions about writing, publishing, the creative process, and so on and so forth? Ask me anything by emailing [email protected]! I will do a special edition of my newsletter on Thursday. (Buy my book here: bookshop.org/p/books/wood... )

Artists, writers, editors and comic publishers, I'm having a bit of a lull in my workload so I'm looking for a few new projects to work on. I'm an Eisner nominated, veteran comic book letterer who loves to be creative. Get in touch with me via linktr.ee/droog811

buttondown.com/CafeWhatever... How Kenny Omega and Will Ospreay inspired me to write about resisting fascism.

Hey @iamdavidbrothers.com . Thanks for inspiring me to get back into it.

I finally had a chance to read WE’RE TAKING EVERYONE DOWN WITH US—and it lives up to the hype. I wouldn’t sleep on this one. Bravo Stefano Landini, @ashcanpress.com, Jason Wordie, Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou, and Becca Carey! In stores 3/26! @imagecomics.com

Shouting out @henrybarajas.bsky.social for his write-up and BS'ing with @iamdavidbrothers.com about Sekiro bosses feels like how Twitter felt when I was starting my comics journey. I've honestly missed that energy a lot.

Booted up Sekiro for the first time in a year after the @iamdavidbrothers.com thread about it and finally got past a boss I never thought I'd beat. Thanks for the inspiration!

My debut novel Woodworking comes out in THREE WEEKS. Today's pitch: Guilt! It's rare for trans artists to be given as big a platform as my publisher is giving me. Ordering a copy proves there's an audience for these books at a time when many publishers are gun shy. bookshop.org/p/books/wood...

One of the most earnest and honest people I've ever met in comics. Read and share!

Me and who?

Fuck it. Trans folks need MATERIAL SUPPORT. @distributeaid.org is launching an HRT Harm Reduction Toolkit that provides 1 year of medical supplies needed to take injection-based HRT. We were planning to go live in January, but I'm not waiting. Fund the kits here: distributeaid.org/hrt-harm-red...

Hey folks, do you want to write #TTRPG scenarios? @alexyquest.bsky.social and I are running a Game Jam this month for our new RPGs: Spells of the Symphony and Creatures of Ruin! Check it out, and write up some cool scenarios! #spacewizardjam itch.io/jam/space-wi...

If the title is an anagram of "souls", is @ironpineapple.bsky.social obligated to play it?

This video absolutely rules and so does Alanah. Love that she went beyond just “social media wars” and addresses the fact that time is the most valuable resource we have. Now more than ever, we need to be very careful and conscious of how we use use it.

That's me while working on my current WIP ...🤣😭 #booksky #authors #writers #books #WritingCommunity

Did some skeeting about metadata, and the importance of publishers noting that comic artists are authors, at the weekend. Getting it right us is good for company's bottom line, helps *everyone* with findability and marketing and is generally.. good business.

This video by @jacobgeller.com helped me cry for the first time in two weeks. Maybe it will help you in some way too. youtu.be/O9N7Awpk9lE?...

New episode of our VIDEO GAME ACTING PODCAST is here! Ft. @benstarr.bsky.social & @erikaishii.bsky.social. We talk about acting in fighting games (since Ben’s in Tekken and Erika’s in Mortal Kombat!) and how to save your voice when doin’ ~YELLY STUFF~. youtu.be/_p0IC68WTZA

Exactly 25 seconds after I convince OpenAI to give me, a curious tech enthusiast YouTuber, a tour of their facility

The men carrying out Musk's coup are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran. Make them famous. And, eventually, when possible, arrest them and charge them with multiple felonies. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

If you’ve liked my art, or you just want to support gender queer artists during these times, I do have a ko-fi. ko-fi.com/sablepod

Each day this week, I'm making a thread spotlighting and signal-boosting creators who are in different marginalized groups being targeted by jerks. Today, it's Trans creators. IF YOU ARE COMFORTABLE, please post below with links to your work if you can! Art, music, crafts, whatever! Show us!

Howdy! I started a newsletter because writing is how I process horrifying things and how I build community. DM me to be added to the mailing list. buttondown.com/CafeWhatever...

SO COOL that Vox Media had two rounds of layoffs in the past three months and keeps cutting our budgets and yet somehow there's $20 million for one person

It's hard to express how much is going on here and what a big deal it is. We've been building toward this for over 8 years now, and we genuinely built a video game history research tool that is usable by anyone. We're democratizing game research through a free, no-bullshit, human-curated resource.

YEAH BABY

"where are all the protests?" read our series showing the legacy of both the Trump and Biden admins—from BLM in the 2010s, to Standing Rock, to George Floyd, to the Palestine encampments—as protest suppression and criminalization. politicians want to call blocking traffic and masking "terrorism."

Pretty big deal. @bookshop-org.bsky.social is selling ebooks now. You can now support indies while purchasing digital books. bookshop.org/ebooks

ELIZA'S WORLD is a Queer breakup novel wrapped in a modern fantasy about having your suspicions that the world is more bizarre than it appears violently & hilariously confirmed. Combines my love of Nancy Meyers & David Lynch with the tone of popular Queer fantasy like Gideon the Ninth. #2025pit

Sound on for a lowered heart rate.

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references. Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.

On this Holocaust Remembrance Day, I highly recommend the award-winning BUT I LIVE comics anthology of first-person survivor accounts, masterfully put to the page by Miriam Libicki, Barbara Yelin & Gilad Seliktar. bookshop.org/p/books/but-...

exactly 🧡💚💙
