For anyone, freelancers or otherwise, fretting over a crazy tax bill, remember you can easily sign up to pay in an installment plan. I survived for years on this, and while not totally ideal, the interest is not terrible and it’s better than having to take a loan/stress: www.irs.gov/payments/pay...

@tessreid.bsky.social bringing me so much joy with bespoke memes, as always 🤣✨

In 2013, I made an essay for XOJane about being sexually harassed on a panel of my colleagues. I anonymized the harrasser, but he outed himself a couple days later, issuing a public non-apology ("Sorry you didn't get my sense of humor"), which led to his fans barraging me with hate + death threats.

omfg the scream I let out

Helioscope, the workspace I share with two dozen other cartoonists, is celebrating its birthday today. 24 years as a studio, 3 buildings, 76 mentees, 1200 etsy orders, & many, MANY thousands of pages of comics. I'll be posting photos in this thread throughout the day. @helioscopepdx.bsky.social

I am actively looking for a decent paying remote job (publishing or publishing adjacent would be 👌🏾) but in the meantime ⬇️

Now more than ever y’all desperately need to read @swordsjew.bsky.social book Wild Faith and help yourselves understand exactly how and why the Christian right is manipulating the US government into this war with Iran This is one of the most important texts of our era.

Jesus wept. I just called my US rep and senators and told them they have to do everything they can to stop this genocide. I told them I don't care if they're in the minority. They have options. I told them to chain themselves to the White House fence. Please call your reps, too. reps.fyi

I was so honored that @bonedustpress.bsky.social asked me to do the interior illustrations for THIS MORTAL COIL. @artwins.bsky.social and @mythjae.bsky.social continue to kill it, and ya'll are gonna go ham over this. Truly special stuff.

Called my rep and said "I am concerned about the President's posts about committing genocide and would like my reps to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove him from office" and the guy was like "okay I'll pass that along, is there anything else" and I was like no that's pretty much it

Love opening for this book. I can't wait to read the rest and see @soengery.bsky.social's illustrations!

So clever and cute to have the main characters as paper miniatures for a novella pre-order. If I were in the states, I'd snap this right up.

Absolutely PSYCHED to be a part of this!

We really could do better as humans if we just let each other thrive and live our best lives, period. That's all I got, y'all.

I want to quote screenshot this whole excellent piece from Marisa, but this especially - we *make* the words, we don't just regurgitate without the feeling, without the things that makes us human.

Solarpunk creative projects that involve generative AI are the antithesis of the movement.

My palette management has certainly gotten a glow up! Oh, what a difference 20 years makes! On the left is a picture from when I was in school; I count 21 separate colors? On the right was today's session; 8 and I didn't even use one of the whites!

More independent journalists/news outlets! go.bsky.app/8tFTbR9

And here are a bunch of awesome photojournalists, many freelancers and independents, many of whom frequently post photos of events/protests/rallies that national press downplays or ignores. go.bsky.app/AmdJsrV

The NYT is exhausting me again today, so once again I encourage everyone to follow LOCAL journalists and news outlets. These folks are vastly less likely to push right wing claptrap that billionaires feel good about themselves. go.bsky.app/FzSc9z

Get involved with your community. Get to events, join support groups like @wipcomics.bsky.social, go to comics socials, be involved with small press anthologies, get your work on communal tables at fairs if tabling yourself is too much. Small pressers elevate each other. It's a beautiful thing.

The right and center left have spent decades defunding public goods. Privatization and “public-private” partnerships have left billions of people without safety nets. This message needs to be hammered home daily.
