#Comics folks, I need you to pull up to this one.

The world sucks right now, and we have the opportunity to do a little bit of good for a displaced and marginalized member of our community. Please join me in supporting this KS campaign!

www.kickstarter.com/projects/den...

If you're somebody who values supporting marginalized voices in comics, here's your chance to put your money where your values are!

The writer of this RINGO NOM’D INDIE COMIC (and a very dear friend of mine) is a Syrian Refugee who has been through more continuous hardships than I have space to list here; constantly navigating visa applications, unstable living conditions, predatory landlords (limited options as a refugee).

Anas just wants to make comics and live a normal life like what so many of us take for granted. Backing this campaign will help Anas to take the next step toward freedom and autonomy, helping to fund a move to another country with more stable employment options. This is truly one of the most important comics purchases you will ever make.

Middle Eastern and North African comics creators are some of the most underrepresented in the comics industry of the western world. Anas isn’t running a GoFundMe to support this move, and is not asking for charity. Simply, Anas is using their talent for storytelling, along with Dennis’ gorgeous art, to offer you a beautiful experience in the comics medium, that also goes toward funding a better life for Anas.

I’m so proud of Anas, and humbled by their experiences and perseverance. I would like to see Anas’ Dream realized, and I’d love to see this community help to make that happen. Please join me in pledging to the Etheres Kickstarter campaign! (link below).

Palestinian refugee, Mahmoud Ezzat Farag Allah, dies by suicide in Belgian immigration detention center, after three months of imprisonment, denial of proper healthcare, and learning of the death of his mother in Gaza genocide www.brusselstimes.com/1783932/gaza...

Gaza refugee dies by suicide in Belgian detention centre

The man's psychological state, already weakened by his exile and the violence he suffered in Gaza, was aggravated by the death of his mother in Palestine.

Because racism and violence is as American as apple pie. But if you blame the Russians for it you can absolve yourself of any responsibility....

Can I also say I am so angry today. It's the lives lost, the cities wiped out, the time taken from us. We have been consumed with this level of unspeakable violence for 2 years. To think of all the potential futures taken away... it's unfathomable

Kody is one of the best people in comics. Full stop.

You won't find anyone kinder, friendly or more supportive of the comics making community. He's been one of my most reliable friends in comics for years and someone who well and truly deserves all the support in the world. Lend a hand.

Since it's now news within our immediate circles, I can share: my partner got abruptly fired from his job (we had no idea it was coming; his boss chose to circumvent the normal steps you're supposed to go through to fire him while we were in Hawai‘i).

Kody Okamoto @kodyisover.com · 5d

just kidding times two, my partner and I got blindsided by some pretty bad news the day I posted this, I'll be fully back in office and online here on Monday.

if, in the meantime, you feel like supporting me by reading Keeping Time or joining my Patreon/SubStar, that would be a welcome reprieve.

just kidding, I'm still pretty under the weather, so I'm extending my out-of-office until Friday!
