Yes, it should. However, that would require an effective mainstream media in America — which we don’t currently have.

Let's Keep Calling!

An image of a huge jackboot crushing a comic artist and a bunch of comic pages. The boot is marked by the logos for MasterCard, Visa, Paypal, and Stripe. Below the image there is text which reads: Don't let Payment Processors tell YOU what you can buy! It is not a payment processor's role to decide what kind of content you can or cannot spend money on, so long as it is a legal transaction. Fight back against the unjust policies hurting artists and creators online!

Read independent comics, it is good for you. Buy independent comics. Learn the names of the people who work on comics you like, and see what they have created on their own time. Love the inkers and the colourists and the letterers of the world. Love the writers and the inkers. Love comics

I forgot about these slides I made for a look book for a class forever ago…I’m still quite fond of them.

A large stone wall with a freaky mask on the front of it. The wall is cracking in certain spots and the mask has an eerie smile. Along the bottom are white lily’s blurred out due to the focus being on the mask.

The text reads: The art of Lycorine

A couple of lily’s in the foreground with some abstract foliage and a building in the back.

Absolutely right. Nobody should be supporting JK Rowling, who is now taking an active role in the UK government and spearheading the systemic torment of the very kids who once would have loved her books. Shameful.

Alanna Smith @alannawrites.bsky.social · Apr 16

This is evil and awful and trans people everywhere deserve better than what's happening right now.

And I think it's impossible to overtstate the pivotal role that JK Rowling played in mainstreaming hateful and false ideas about trans people. Every dollar you give her goes toward efforts like this.

The Associated Press @apnews.com · Apr 16

The U.K. Supreme Court rules that Britain's equalities law defines a woman as someone born biologically female. The ruling means a transgender person with a certificate that recognizes them as female should not be considered a woman for equality purposes.

Remember when Harper Collins was the only major publisher not to sign the letter protesting the defunding of the IMLS? That sucked.

Anyway if you're a Harper author, sign the letter urging them to join their colleagues and get on board.

SIGNATURES NEEDED: Open Letter to HarperCollins

On April 3, 2025, Penguin Random House, Hachette Book Group, Macmillan Publishers, Simon & Schuster, and Sourcebooks sent a letter to Congress in support of the Institute of Library and Museum Service...

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind.

An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one."

The other said, "Take him anyway."

So they did.

Wilmer only found out his son had been detained after receiving a phone call on March 15 from his nephew, Luis, who lives with them. That morning was their last time together; they had gone around the corner to do their laundry. Later that day, Wilmer said that his son met with a friend to get help with some errands at the American Red Cross. He learned this from Luis, who looked at the situation from inside the apartment: when his son was on his way back, just steps from his home when ICE agents stopped him. “The officers grabbed him and two other boys right at the entrance to our building. One said, ‘No, he’s not the one,’ like they were looking for someone else. But the other said, ‘Take him anyway.'”

That moment marked the beginning of Wilmer’s search for answers — answers he’s still waiting for.
