I still kind of feel like this week's Starfleet Academy was somehow written for me, personally.

It’s hard to talk about problems in the comics industry without people taking it personally, but the prevalence of Substack is a big one. This is NOT a “vaguepost” about anyone specifically, but it’s not easy to keep seeing good folks keeping a bad platform going.

So in the 32nd century… Does Carol Freeman still hold the hydroscoot record at the Academy?

This is what I mean whenever I utter “Comics will break your heart.”
It's not just the women and girls we know of. It's all their future work, and everything they could have been, and how we build structures that shelter their abusers. It's how a man's future has always been worth more than my past, present, and future combined.

and it's become clear whatever I think/have to offer creatively is being overlooked in favor of guys* who were able to ingratiate themselves with a big name** because the rate of women reaching out to successful creators in comics for mentorship or being taken seriously is almost non-existent***
what I think clearly doesn't matter to whoever this is being made for, but I am so tired and sad of the state of this business when it comes to who is "allowed"/having the opportunity to tell these characters' stories

as ketamine intramuscular injections aren't covered by medicaid, or any insurance, for my ocd, or any mental health dx, helping me reach the $350 would be super helpful. while i do get more significant paychecks, it still tends to be quite inconsistent when i get paid! & it all goes to bills! 🫩

I really enjoy getting screeners. But sometimes, it is incredibly difficult to wait for everyone else to see a certain episode.

This is a skeet about Star Trek: Starfleet Academy.
