Independent comics as an industry would barely exist these days without the tireless efforts of Kickstarter's staff behind the scenes. As they advise, keep supporting all the amazing projects you already are, but have their back in the process.

‼️🚨KICKSTARTER WORKERS ARE ON STRIKE🚨‼️

As of 8am this morning, the workers of Kickstarter United/OPEIU Local 153 are on strike.

WE ARE NOT ASKING FOR A BOYCOTT! Creators and allies, please continue using and supporting the platform.

Kickstarter United is on strike!
We are not asking for a boycott! Creators & Allies: Please continue to support & use the platform
swipe for ways to show your solidarity

Why We're Striking
A codified 4-day work week.
We simply want to protect the way we've been working for over 3.5 years. The 4dww has proven benefits, such as increased productivity and improved employee satisfaction. It's part of what makes Kickstarter a special, innovative place to work.
Fair pay for our lowest-paid workers.
We're fighting for livable minimum salaries for roles that are undervalued by the market but crucial to keeping Kickstarter running. We believe none of our workers should struggle to make ends meet.

[ Healthy reframing 🧵 ]

For Whitefolk, this is the first time many have felt this politically hopeless.

Hope is White intergenerational privilege—hopelessness is Black intergenerational trauma.

White hopelessness is cyclical, ours is structural. What they see as deviation, we know as its norm.

I know these are not at all the same skillsets (and likely not even something in your control lol) but "renowned hacktivist maia struggles to stream" is a joke that writes itself

Show me how you draw armor!🛡️

An image of an olive-skinned woman with brown hair standing in the rain. She is wearing black Halo armor. The wind is whipping her ponytail out behind her. In the background, out of focus, are the orange lights of a landing pad. She stands with her helmet tucked under her left arm and is staring up at something off-camera in the distance.

An image of Locus from Red vs. Blue facing off against a large man in Hellcat armor (Steele, a fan OC.) They are on a snowy cliffside. Locus has his back to the viewer and is wielding a green version of the Great Key. Steele has an energy wrist-blade protruding from his arm, which is drawn back to strike Locus.

The Hippocampus is a mythical creature with the front of a horse and the back half of a fish. They've been portrayed by cultures from the Ancient Greeks to the Picts and beyond

My take here is partly based on a black-figure amphora from the 6th century BCE that currently is displayed in the Louvre
