- We need cheaper printed black and white comics for the love of god
- Comics for adults could do crazy numbers if they actually had support, pubs are leaving money on the table
- Prose authors shouldn't be hired to write comics based on prose chops alone
- Cartoonists should be paid 700x more

Trump threatens to shut down US government unless all trans health care is banned
The US government's looming shutdown hinges on anti-trans measures after Donald Trump refused to speak to Democrats unless they were passed.

two truths:
(1) ANYONE can make comics
(2) if you have a professional background in a form of storytelling that is not comics, it can be helpful to familiarize yourself before signing a book deal

Even when given a screenplay to adapt into a comic- there is still work involved in adapting it. It was popular a few years ago for screenwriters with failed pilots to try to get their work made into comics (so it might get picked up later as tv.) It's not a 1-to-1 & a lot of them didn't understand
Comics are actually very difficult to write if you’re coming from a prose-writing background.
It’s a VERY different skillset from prose—in fact, it’s closer to writing a screenplay than a novel. You gotta know enough about film language and camera to make the comic panels & art *mean* something.

you cannot be telling bad prose authors that they should pivot to writing graphic novels instead bc of their bad prose. Hello

Pro tip: you cannot just copy & paste paragraphs for panel descriptions & call it good. It will not go well. A writer should also keep in mind how it could look at print size; there are FAR too many books with 7-9 panels a page and no room for much art because of all the dialogue that's shoved in.

To any of my fans in Michigan, this means I can no longer sell comics in your state. Not just smut, any comic with queer characters because that’s exactly how they’ll define porn.
Call your representative and tell them to stop this atrocious bill!

Michigan Lawmakers Are Attempting to Ban Porn Entirely
The "Anticorruption of Public Morals Act" proposes a total ban on porn in the state, and also targets the existence of trans people online, content like erotic ASMR, and selling VPNs in the state.

worth noting: you always die from rabies. there is no not dying from rabies
"it's a horrible painful shot in the stomach and you have to get a bunch of them" is a small price to pay for NOT DYING OF RABIES but that hasn't been true for decades, it's just 2-4 regular jabs in the arm over a couple of weeks, get it if you are bitten by a feral cat or find a bat in your house.
if you see a bat in your house get a rabies vaccine immediately. doesnt matter if you cant see a bite or whatever. tiny little needle teeth and also rabies is top 5 worst ways to die

I don't know many people who *wouldn't* wish Ill on JK Rowling.
She uses her immense wealth and influence to relentlessly target and harm a marginalized group. The idea that those same people on the receiving end aren't allowed to vent about it is bullshit.
