Wow! My notifications are lighting up! Must be on a list somewhere... Hi all, I'm Carla and I'm part of the Best Damn Comics Team over on @smashpages.bsky.social -- I've sold comics for over 20 years at Metro Entertainment in Santa Barbara, CA so please pick up your comics!

the funny thing about my RE2 piece is on the original pencils we were doing some gag about death metal logo type stuff so there's a "lost dog" one, and a bit of "Dave Lartigue" in the corner. So i have to think about @daveexmachina.bsky.social everytime i see it.

Absolutely love what @gregpak.net has going on at his NYCC booth (he also has comics but this is great). Booth L-25 in Artist Alley!

This is the clearest sign yet that Democrats are winning this argument. Nobody is going to buy this desperate B.S. I’m honestly surprised, but the Democrats have managed to back Johnson into a corner.

Mike Johnson: "It's about keeping Congress operating so we can get to healthcare. We always were going to. They're lying to you. Okay? The healthcare issues were always gonna be something discussed, deliberated, contemplated, and debated in October and November."

I say this as a quiet woman of color: There are white woman who will simply steamroll over anything someone like me has to offer in a conversation, and that’s the kind of woman I suspect she is.

#Comics folks, I need you to pull up to this one.

The world sucks right now, and we have the opportunity to do a little bit of good for a displaced and marginalized member of our community. Please join me in supporting this KS campaign!

www.kickstarter.com/projects/den...

If you're somebody who values supporting marginalized voices in comics, here's your chance to put your money where your values are!

The writer of this RINGO NOM’D INDIE COMIC (and a very dear friend of mine) is a Syrian Refugee who has been through more continuous hardships than I have space to list here; constantly navigating visa applications, unstable living conditions, predatory landlords (limited options as a refugee).

Anas just wants to make comics and live a normal life like what so many of us take for granted. Backing this campaign will help Anas to take the next step toward freedom and autonomy, helping to fund a move to another country with more stable employment options. This is truly one of the most important comics purchases you will ever make.

Middle Eastern and North African comics creators are some of the most underrepresented in the comics industry of the western world. Anas isn’t running a GoFundMe to support this move, and is not asking for charity. Simply, Anas is using their talent for storytelling, along with Dennis’ gorgeous art, to offer you a beautiful experience in the comics medium, that also goes toward funding a better life for Anas.

I’m so proud of Anas, and humbled by their experiences and perseverance. I would like to see Anas’ Dream realized, and I’d love to see this community help to make that happen. Please join me in pledging to the Etheres Kickstarter campaign! (link below).

I teach a history of antifascism course @ruhistorydept.bsky.social and figured I'd start an ongoing thread this semester to share some insights from course readings and recommend some great works on antifascism.

What the actual fuck??? This is a really scary situation. This family is already facing death threats which is why they are leaving.

Because Dr. Bray is a scholar of anti-fascism.

“Someone” cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second.

We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’
