A question that I'm often asked goes something like, "Is it great to create content that shows girls how strong they can be?" YES. It is an honor to have girls who read my books or watch my shows to feel empowered. But...
IT'S EQUALLY IMPORTANT FOR BOYS TO SEE GIRLS AS MAIN CHARACTERS TOO.

🧵:
The world’s extremely poor are also often extremely remote, with limited access to healthcare & health education. In many developing countries, the government—often with the help of the UN and, until this year, USAID—maintains health posts that bring these services to people living off the grid.

Life advice: download the file. You know that Google spreadsheet where you filled in all the important info and reference all the time? Well, one day, the owner of that spreadsheet might get laid off and all their links will break and no one will know how to find that file again. “But what about

My therapist has to remind me constantly that just because I'm anxious something may happen doesn't necessarily mean it will.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

this psd? I don’t even have photoshop and the file’s so big!” Download it anyway. In a year, you may need to make a tiny change but the original artist is on sabbatical to Bora Bora and no one can do anything with that idiotic jpg you did download. Download the files.

I've had an uptick in folks asking if there will be a HELLAWEEN 3, and that's dependent on you!

I REALLY WANT TO and have a story ready to go+ my colorist is in... but if publishers aren't going to market, and I can only do so much myself— word of mouth is gold to me! ESPECIALLY while its October!

So far this fight has been on the backs of children's books creators, which makes sense. We were the canaries in the coal mine. But they're coming for romance. They've come for long form journalism. They're coming for lit fic and SFF and horror.

Because it's not about the books; it's about funding.
