If anyone has emailed saying my company, Discoglobe, is hiring for a freelance position, THIS IS A SCAM. I think they are using LinkedIn connections to find names to manufacture a veneer of legitimacy.

And hey, while I've got my soapbox out this morning, there is absolutely no excuse for the percentage of women creators on top books in mainstream comics still being this low.

I did the opposite with that book 😆I read every chapter of except the last one. I was like screw you, sunk cost fallacy, and just didn’t finish.

Maybe this is how I learned about the power of downscoping. Ppl are really missing out on the creativity of figuring out their own work style and how to create loopholes to solve problems.

I once got an A on a paper about how the first chapter was a microcosm for the whole book. Luckily I was right, because I only had time to read the first chapter.

Hey Canadians! This might happen to us soon as well!

If Bill S-209 passes in it's current form, you'll need to register in a govt. mandated database in Canada.

1. Find and contact your MP to oppose this here: www.ourcommons.ca/Members/en
2. SHARE THIS - cause a lot of people aren't even aware!

I've been slowly listening my way through this in podcast format all week. It's great. Doctorow is so quick on his feet and Conover's a good conversational interviewer.

"Can we sell black characters in this political climate?" That is what Ubisoft asked itself and then answered, "No." Which is a skill issue and bigotry on THEIR part because black entertainers are out here selling their wares EVERY DAMN DAY, antiblackness be damned. Our culture MOVES NUMBERS.

They also asked themselves if they could deal with public "backlash" and said no, which Black entertainers also deal with every day. Unlike Black entertainers, they think they can pick or choose profit or pain.
