Time for a new pinned post!

I'm KB Spangler, an indie author who creates comics with my partner-in-crime, @alepresser.com

Our current #comics are comedy science fiction & fantasy (FAMILY DEMONS) and fantasy (SIDE QUESTED), because reality is being a bummer and we need more joy.
Short thread on buying books and what your purchase means to writers. There's never a good time to be in the trenches but it's especially hard right now.
In DMs we're posting screenshots of the sharp sales drop-off we've all had the last few months so basically if you're still out there buying books, you might be the difference between some folks still having a career or going back to being considered a hobbyist. It's bad out there in the arts.

Boggling to think that in any other administration, ever, there'd be aggressive internal discussions about how to handle the fallout when ICE inevitably kills a member of the clergy while in this one the veep probably just keeps a savage tweet about owning the libs ready in his drafts.

If you enjoy artistic shorts, this channel is all about woodworking, with an emphasis on joinery. It's beautiful.

If you yourself are a woodworker, you'll spend a lot of time shouting "OH THAT FUCKER!" at the simple but incredibly sophisticated techniques.

All right, I've got all major ebook formats up in my store now, and I'm off to give free copies to my $25+ Patreon supporters. On Tuesday, which is SUPPOSED to be the actual release date, I'm going to make the usual "please buy my books" noise, but ugh, now I fall down.

oh ffs

The cancelled book (that I did not cancel) is apparently live now on Amazon instead of in 72+ hours (actual release date is Tuesday) like it should be.

Anyhow, new Rachel Peng book. Rachel would be laughing about this.

Me: Readers are desperate for cozy warm stories, I should draft one of these.

Also me: *kills off two main characters in a high-stakes robbery* Dang it.

"Let's make JD Vance the administration's face for the ICE murder PR" is definitely a choice you make if you have specific expectations for JD's political future.

Dems need to start running right now on a platform of "This is what we are going to do to fix **all of this** and here's why each of our decisions conforms with established law and is informed by the evidence of recent misuse."
Democrats who want to abolish ice should start introducing legislation to roll back the creation of DHS. It was a specific post 9/11 law that combined previously extant functions into a single new department. Let’s start getting that model legislation out there. (Is it already?)

Forcing myself to cut down on social media as the frustration is getting to me, but I’m lying here in bed with the rain falling outside, warm and safe and loved, and all I can think of is how I want this for everyone. It’s such an achievable goal!

This is what I want to fight for.

Please, tell me in the replies, and maybe repost to help me?

Thank tou!

We'll likely see more ICE shooting coming more quickly since no one will be held accountable for acting on their worst instincts.

At SIDEQUESTED, a tiny green squirrel in a pink tutu asks the important question, to which I reply, Yes. Yes I do. Desperately. Can I explode things with my mind?

*sigh*

Anyway, #webcomics are good and healthy escapism. Ours is free! Come read it!

Even better, you can hit ‘previous’ a bunch of times to see athletic people smack each other around without context

gonna be sitting with “there’s an assault on giving a shit about anyone besides yourself” for a long time
Like there’s a ton of individual issues but the broader problem is that there’s an assault on giving a shit about anyone besides yourself, nihilism that tells people the only way to prevent getting hurt is to hurt enough other people and that sickness is filtering into the bones of everything.
