gaseous cloud collapses, gathers into itself - heats up - remaining material thinly spread outward - only rock nearish, gas/ice farther still. Solar system is forming... Panels 10/30...
#Nostos #Unflattening 2

10 panels from a comics page in progress - in two rows of 5 each. Top row, panel one a gaseous cloud. 2-4 - supernova, its shockwaves colliding with that cloud. 5th panel see the cloud collapsing beginning to turn. Second tier - first panel - spinning gases, center warming. Panel 2 - great cloud of gas spinning and partly obscuring proto star within, panels 3-5, other side of protostar seen in prior panel - it's later in the solar system's evolution, we see no gas near the star, then a thin layer of rock and farther out gas - a differentiated disk swirling around the star...

Sadly, my contract with Blizzard ended in September. That means I'm looking for fulltime or contract work as a senior writer or narrative designer. If you need someone who can write sharp characters, poetic prose, and emotional stories, I'm available! www.hazelmonforton.com

dr. hazel 🐝 @hazelmonforton.com · Jul 8

It's #portfolioday! I'm presently a senior narrative designer at Blizzard, but before that I was at Bungie and Arkane. I wrote for the Writer's Guild award-nominated Dishonored: Death of the Outsider, and a bunch of critically acclaimed seasons and expansions in Destiny 2.

Let it be understood, the *only* definition of africanfuturism I acknowledge is the one I wrote. Everything else is an interpretation, many of which are quite wrong (especially when it comes to the black diaspora; my God, so many people don't get it, despite the fact that I was clear).

The End.

You're not serious.

So, it's a fun game I play to see what I can grab that fits where we ended the conversation and doesn't fulfill what was first asked for. Am I an asshole? I'm just amusing myself, at this point?
Anyway, here's the stack.

And then I go and put together a silly version of what they asked for, just because I like to be a man of my word and I always end by saying I'll get it together.

But buddy... If you start by asking for $700 of comics in mylar and end the conversation saying trades and

There's this ridiculous scam when someone calls and tries to make me put together a huge order (hundreds of dollars) talking in a silly voice and making specific but vague requests, vowing they will in in an hour to get them.
It's so sad, I always just keep them on the line asking more and more

a key thing about vought — and all of these guys — is that they have a totally top down and hierarchical vision of the world. they believe that the cultural changes they hate can be turned off by destroying the federal government because they can’t imagine that they emerged bottom-up in society

Thomas Zimmer @thomaszimmer.bsky.social · 22h

What he’s railing against is a profound shift in culture, status… He’s obsessed with the idea that America is controlled by a leftist “ruling elite” - but “elite” isn’t defined socio-economically or by political power, it means something like: Getting to define “real America” and who gets to belong.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.
