#Comics and us sharing our stories save lives.

Removing books from the shelf is erasure and #censorship.

68% of Albertans believe decisions about what’s age-appropriate should be made by librarians, teachers, and schools - not administrations.

Let’s fight back (cc: @torontocomics.bsky.social)

Comics are under attack in Canada. We cannot stay silent.

Read and share TCAF’s statement on censorship in Alberta’s public schools, then join us in taking action! www.torontocomics.com/post/comics-...

This might be the worst timeline - and there’s also the first new episode of #SlowHorses s05 to watch - including this delight of a scene 🎬 with the #simplyirresistable and ever ridiculous #RoddyHo

Here's how Deb's team got diversity success - how can you implement some of these ideas into your own studio or team? Diversity allows creativity to flourish and help teams find economic success, too.

Do one thing today to help. One thing tomorrow. One thing the day after. Taking a swing at every bad thing happening is just going to burn you out. Remember, if everyone does their one thing the world changes

This is the playbook, folks.

If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.

Do not be quiet in this moment.

You don’t say. 😕

This is the biggest attack on free speech since the McCarthy era but it also has significantly less popular consensus behind it than the second Red Scare. It's being done on behalf of a minority faction led by the most unpopular president in modern history. Organizing against this can win.

"No right was deemed by the fathers of the government more sacred than the right of speech. It was in their eyes, as in the eyes of all thoughtful men, the great moral renovator of society and government."
