With very few exceptions, the visibility of women comics makers in the direct market on new project announcements remains disappointingly low

Or don't wear black if it's not in your color season. Just find something on the disturbia clothing website that's like forest green or something and buy chucky platforms.

Also just furrow your brow, say fuck a lot, and chain smoke

go the fuck outside. find a goth club. go there on a kink / queer night. go even if you think “you won’t fit in” (cheat code: just wear black).

be friendly. give yourself time. repeat as necessary. you will make exceptional friends.

life is for the living. do it scared.

If we're counting the world as the multiverse then yeah, Mako loves it as long as she can freely travel! She gets bored easily so being able to pop into an infinite amount of completely new places is maybe the best/worst thing that could happen to her lol

So much of people resorting to using generative AI comes from a place of feeling insecure about one's own abilities to write, draw, create, think, etcetera.

And by using the AI for those purposes, those skills and abilities will only end up stunted, as you refrain from honing them.

For white supremacists, the end goal has always been to bring back slavery, but it's too extremist to say that aloud. They'll keep shifting the overton window until it's not.

🧵Just got some records back today on the NIPAS deployment to Broadview last Friday, including two interesting letters dated that very same day which shed some light on the decision-making behind the "Unified Command" deployment vis-à-vis the IL TRUST Act. See below ⬇️

Cops with NIPAS—Northern IL Police Alarm System—just arrived to switch out with state troopers.

This is our first time seeing them out here; they're cop "mutual aid," assorted officers from other suburban departments called up specifically to assist Broadview PD.

This brown skinned landscaper was minding his business on a job in Edgewater when 3 masked ICE thugs took him away. Then on leaving the 3 reportedly got out of their car, turned their guns on a woman and tried to get into her car for apparently driving too close searching for parking near her home

Make no mistake, when the state imprisons a trans woman in a men's prison, it intentionally procures her for the purpose of having her raped. The statistics are extremely clear-cut and consistent in every jurisdiction where they have been collected. There is no way around them
